eminent in Indo-China headed by
Bao Dai, the former emperor. The
United States might even be will
ing to consider economic help to
such a government if it kept out

Note-Another reason why we are
anxious to end this revolution is
because we want the French to
bring their army back from Indo-
China to France to guard against
a surprise attack from Russia. The

1a|madge Denounces
Suit 10 Give Negroes
EQuaIized Education
BY the Associotsd Press

ATLANTA, Oct. 22.-Gov. Her.
man Talmadge of Georgia today
declared that racial segregation
is at stake and bitterly denounced
a suit, to equalize Negro education
in this State.
Gov. Talmadge said the suit by
18 Negro parents in Irwin County
was nothing less than an attempt
to lend segregation in our
schools"
The suit was entered in Federal
Court August 9. charging that the
children of the Negroes did not
have facilities equal to those Of
fered white children.
1t asked a federal Injunction
against discrimination in facilities
or teachers under the 14th-equal
rights-amendment to the Con-
stitution.
Suit Called Opening Wedge.
Gov. Talmadge, in a talk pre-
pared for his Saturday morning
radio report to the people. said the
State would f1ght this dastardly
effort with all the strength and
resources we have"
This litigation" the Governor
said, lis the opening wedge to
break down segregation in the
Southern States. It is a move by
disgruntled agftators from North
ern States to destroy all that the
far-seeing white and Negro people
have accomplished in progress in
the last few generations.
Then he added:
These agitators know we
cannot furnish either white or
Negro schools with identical facil-
tiles overnight. This does not
make any difference to them.
What they are looking forward
to is moving Negro children into
the nearest, most convenient
white schools"

Think Differently
tBy The Assec'ated Press,

WASEflNG lNjN, Mafcn 0.--Sl-
fetal Washington was quiet to-
day about the release" of Molo-
toy as foreign minister of Rus
STA and the appointment to that
office of the fiery Andrei Vishin-
sky.
Discussion conferred in the sig
nificance of whether or not the
change of RuSsia's foreign minis
tiers meant the tightening of the
cold war;" or a relaxation in the
attitude of Russia toward the
Western Powers.
Some were inclined to believe
that, as Vishinsky has been
vitrolic in his attacks on the
Western Powers and particularly
the United States at meetings of
the United Nations. Moscow Po-
litburo made the change because
it did not think Molotov had been,
held by the Big Four.
Others believe that Molotov
was removed because of his stub
bornness at the meetings, hav-
ing failed to yield a single time
on questions that were discussed
by the Big Four.
1t was stated here that official
Washington will not comment on
the change until it learns its
significance as shown by the
Russian government.
