NEW YORK, June 8 - "The
complete destruction of all enforc-
ed segregation is now in sight"
stated Thurgood Marshall. special
counsel for the National Assoeia-
ton for the Advancement of Color
ed People, after an analytic study
of the opinions handed down by
the United States Supreme Court
in the Sweat, McLaurin and Hen
derson cases. In three unanimous
decisions, the high court abolished
segregation at the University of
Oklahoma, ordered the admission
of Heman Marion Sweat to the
University of Texas law school, and
struck down segregation in rail-
way dining cars.
Although the Plessy v. Ferguson
decision of 1896, which set up the
Separate but equal" doctrine, was
not specifically overrule1, Mr.. Mar
shall said, sits effectiveness in
graduate and professional educa-
ton has been destroyed. Segrega-
ton no longer has the stamp of
legality in any public education"
''In the step by step battle to
outlaw enforced racial segrega-
tion," the NAACP legal chief as
serted, "these decisions are the
most far-reaching yet attained"
Noting that the ultimate end of
segregation looms on the horizon,
he emphasized the fact that illegal
battles have to be carried on
through regular legal channels.
Each case must be limited to the
facts in that case"
COnfab to Implement Decisions
A conference of NAACP lawyers
from all sections of the country
will be held in New York on June

Judge conger
Sees No Cause
For Alarm Over
Court Rulings

COLUMBUS, June 13.-(SNS)
A Georgia Federal Judge be-
lieves too much emphasis has been
placed on the recent supreme court
rulings against segregation in
higher education and on dining
cars.
Judge A. B. Conger, of Balm
bridge said Thursday that the rul-
ings are nothing for Southerners
to get excited about" He added:
II think it should be emphasized
the decision on segregation in rail-
road dining and Pullman cars, and
against two colleges in Texas and
Oklahoma, is not as earth-shaking
as the public has been led to be-
lieve.
Being a Georgian and a Fed
eral judge, have thought, and am
of the opinion the Texas and Okla
homa decisions do nothing more
than compel those states to do
what their own laws provide.
Judge Conger was interviewed
in Federal court in Columbus. He
opined that the court did not set
precedent in the three cases on
segregation.
The judge believes that the su-
preme court has not decided
against segregation in education if
separation but equal" facilities
are offered to both races.
