Equal Education Opportunities For Negr
Headache For Southern Governors SOUTHERN CO.
SOUTHERN GOVERNORS PLAN IS
TO COMPLY WITH U. S. SUPR. COURT

NASHVILLE. Tenn. = The gov
errors of five Southern states
meet here Sunday TO plan a pos
sible middle course between man
dates of the United State Supreme
Court and Southern tradition on
the question of equal educational
opportunities for Negroes.
The plan is to establish regional
schools, supported jointly by all
Southern states which bar the
doors of their white universities to
Negroes. They would offer Ne
groes degrees in medicine, law,
journalism and other professions.
The five governors are members
of special committee on regional
education of the Southern Cover
nor's Conference. This group was
formed last October after Gov. Jim
McCord of Tennessee warned that
Southern states had three alterna-
tives under recent Supreme Court
decisions-admit Negro students to
their white schools. close their
white schools or set up regional
schools for Negroes.
Last week the Supreme Court
ruled that a Negro seeking law
school education in Oklahoma lis
entitled to secure legal education

The report clearly points out that
nations perish because their foun-
dations crumble, that the immut-
able laws of justice should govern
nations as well as individuals and
that civic righteousness, untram-
melled and undefiled, is the only
safeguard against national disin-

segregation must end now. The
appointment of the Committee and
its report after long and careful
