Study Recommends
Gradual Indignation
Plea by Maryland
BY J. l. Michel

Maryland's legal spokesman
were urged today to ask the Su-
preme Court for gradual inte-
grafton of public schools under
plans developed by boards Of
education of Baltimore City and
the % counties.
Recommendations and sug-
gested procedural principles filed
with the States attorney general
and Board Of Education by a
special committee of school SUI
perintendents advised against
"coercive measures, particularly
drastic Ones" and declared:
1.-THE manner in which deseg-
regation is put into effect in our
State and in our Nation will
determine for many years to
come the attitude of the races
toward each other.
Mere edict from above will
not change thinking nor the
attitudes which influence human
behavior" the report said, add
ing that Indignation procedures
will need the sympathetic UNI
derstanding Of all citizens if the
decision and resultant course of
action are to be freed of emo
tional ..outbursts.'i

When Mr.. Nouless had driven
about 2 miles down Arlington
boulevard to Glebe road, he told
police, the seat suddenly lurched
back. At that instant. he said,
he realized a gun was being held
at the back of his head by some
one in the rear seat.
Complied at Gun Point.
Mr.. Nouless said the bandit
ordered him to turn around and
drive back to the drugstore. He
opened the store at gun point,
and followed the bandits orders
to open the safe and cash reg
lister.
Police said between $1,000
and $4,000 was taken. Mr.. Nou-
less told police the bandit stuffed
the money into a briefcase and
ran out Of the drugstore, order
ing the manager to stay where
he was.
Mr.. Nouless called police from
inside the drugstore to report
the robbery. He said the bandit
was about SO years old. 5 feet

proximately 1856 pounds.

regation is unconstitutional and
will implement it's final decision,
the committee said, but its re-
port indicates that segments Of
the State are unhappy about the
matter.
1.-THE Supreme Court, in abol-
ishing segregation in the public
schools of this country" the re-
port declares, created a new
right for a minority group. BY
the same action 1t abrogated a
right of the majority group. It
is specious to argue that this
right did not exist legally; it
has been countenanced as a right
for nearly a century, and the
Supreme Court on one memo
rable occasion placed its official
sanction upon 1t.
"Pragmatically, then. the right
of white people in any given
State, under approval Of its State
laws, to send their children to
segregated schools has existed.
More important than any other
consideration is the fact that
citizens of the several States
practicing segregation in their
schools have thought they had
this right, and their thinking
and their attitudes have been
conditioned by this fact"
The committee advocated that
augmentation of the integra-
ton decree be remanded to local
school boards, with the State
board acting In a supervisory
capacity.
