AIM OF MISSISSIPPI NEGROES

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 8.-(DSN)
The Mississippi State Legisla-
ture convened in special session
here Monday to consider a number
of measures proposed by Governor
Hugh White, chief among which
is law authorizing the abolish
ment of the state Public School
System in order to prevent mixing
of white and Negro children, a
move obviously designed to defeat
the decision of the United States
Supreme Court declaring unconsti-

public schools.
Some two hours after the ses-

address before the joint session of
the House and Senate called for
the enactment of a law authoriz-
ing the abolition of the public
school system in order to preserve
segregation in the school, saying
that the law would be used only
as a last resort, and it was not
intended as a measure to defy the
United States Supreme Court.

United States Supreme Court Awaits
Ideas On 0ut|awing Segregation

Washington, Sept. s. The Su-
preme Court has not yet set a
deadline on when public schools
across the country must open their
doors to all corners, regardless of
race.
Last May, in outlawing racial
segregation in the public schools,
the court recognized the consider
able complexity" of putting it's de-
clifton in effect. For that reason, it
called for rearguments, after it
returns this October, on precisely
how and when segregation should
end.
In short while the court has said
segregation in the schools was IL
legal, it has not said at what pre-
else time the practice become il
legal.
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1954-09-11

When it reconvenes Oct. 4 the
court will set a date for oral argu-
ments on the points it wants re-
viewed. BY Oct. I, however, it
wants briefs filed by various at
torneys general on how the deci-
sion should be put into effect.
For example, the court wants
opinions on whether it should for
mulate detailed DEGREES in the mat
ter, whether it should appoint a
special master to hear evidence and
make recommendations, or whether
it should direct lower courts to
draft the DEGREES.
Moreover, the court wants to
reargue the question whether it
should permit a gradual adjust
merit or whether it should order
immediate integration.
