the first course in race relations

OF COURSE, most Southerners
are going to hold on to segrega-
ton as long as they can. But when
they can no longer hold 1t, they
are going to be good sports--they
are going to abide by the decision
of the highest court of the land.
1t can hardly be otherwise. The
Supreme Court has prestige and
respect not only in the North but
in the South.

IL there is rioting and bloodshed

will be because our leaders will
