Supreme Court officials dis
closed today that the tribunal
plans to hear arguments October
IL on the form of DEGREES best
suited to carry out it's decision
banning public school racial seq
regation.
The decision itself continued
to arouse some denunciation or
disputes in Congress. 1t also
raised at least one hint of open
defiance by a Southern State.
The Georgia attorney general,
with the backing of Gov.
Herman Talmadge, declared he
would refuse to take part in the
Supreme Court hearings next
fall. Gov. Talmadge. in in
creasingly bitter attacks on the
courts unanimous opinion an
nounced Monday, warned:
Georgia people cannot and will
not accept a bald political de-
cree which overturns their
accepted pattern of life"
October IL would be about the
earliest possible date for Supreme
Court oral arguments after it
opens the next term October 4.
Court Clerk Harold B. Wiley
said the arguments might be
finished in one day.
May Be Delayed.
There was no indication as to
how soon thereafter the court
would decide on and sisue the
formal DEGREES. 1t might be
weeks or months later. Court
officials said DEGREES in the five
specific cases, including one from
the District, probably would be
read from the bench as written
opinions.
This process caused mixed re-
actions today. It was viewed
throughout the country as
means of preventing undue delay
and giving every one directly
concerned a reasonable oppor-
tunity to suggest what form the
DEGREES should take and when
they should be operative in spe-
cific places.
AS a result of the decision,
Representative Wheeler, Demo-
crat, of Georgia, said today he
was introducing a House bill that
would ban appointment of any
person to the Supreme Court
unless he had previous judicial
experience of at least six years.
The bill would provide further
that such experience would have
to be as a judge of a lower Fed
eral court or of a court of record
in a State. Justice Minton is the
only present Supreme Court
member with previous experience
as Federal court judge.
Senate discussion of the seq
regation decision yesterday
brought a complaint by some
Southern members that the Oc-
tober l deadline for filing briefs
for the arguments on the de-
crees was rushing matters too
much. Senator Stennis, Demo-
crat, of Mississippi, noted that
congressional and many State
elections will be held in Novem-
ber.
General Reaction Calm.
In general the comments and
criticism, including statements
by leaders in the court fight
against segregation, remained
comparatively calm. Public Off
cials and others in States and
communities that required or

Support Segregation
BY the Asseeiatsd Press

GIBSON. Ca. May l9.-Negro
members Of the Board of
Trustees of the Glascock County
Training School and 800 Negro
patrons have adopted q resolu-
ton asking continued separa-
ton Of schools. T. G. Kent,
school superintendent, an
nounced yesterday.
The resolution, adopted unan-
imously. said:
I'VE go on record publicly as
favoring separate schools for
the white and colored races and
especially request that our
schools be kept separate from
the whites and that our children
be taught by colored teachers in
keeping with the traditions
which have existed in Glascock
County throughout all these
years."
The resolution was drawn up
by Negro citizens and presented

continued to voice shock or dis
appointment because of the de-
clsion declaring it unconstitu-
tional. Most of them counSeled
patience. Many recommended a
gradual and practical approach
to working out the decision.
Apart from the official attitude
in Georgia, the only major de-
velopment elsewhere in the
South was the increasing IN
terest reported in the so-called
South Carolina plan" This
plan would replace public schools
by segregated private schools.
Gov. James F. Byrnes of South
Carolina outlined such an idea
some time age He has not off,
cially proposed it since the Su-
preme Court handed down its
decision last Monday.
Any such move was attacked
by Walter White, executive Sec
retary of the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement of
Colored People as wholly i'm
practical" and a threat to evade
a clear-cut judicial decision.
Fears Racketeering.
Educational racketeers would
move in with debased stand
ards" he said. You would see
corruption such as you've never
seen in the United States"
Even before the Supreme
Court receives briefs and hears
arguments on the formulation of
DEGREES, attorneys and others
speculated today on the timing
of such orders. They also studied
the possible problem of enforc-
ing the decision and DEGREES If
any State. community or person
refuses to comply.
Supreme Court observers saw
little likelihood that issuance of
the DEGREES would be put off in
definitely. Some said the court
might speed up the procedure
by framing detailed DEGREES it
self instead of having this done
by lower Federal courts or
special masters, subject to final
approval by the Supreme Court.
No Bar to Action.
Most of the lawyers directly
involved in the five cases believe
that nothing in the decision pre-
vents moves to end school seq
regation before issuance of the
formal DEGREES.
If any State integrates it's
school system before october l
or IL, as probably will be the
situation in Kansas. its attorneys
could so notify the Supreme
Court at that time. On the other
hand, some lawyers believe, any
State which refuses to take part
in the hearings next fall or re-
port on its segregation situation
conceivably could be ordered to
admit Negroes to any of it's
schools.
Refusal to end segregation or
otherwise comply with the Su-
preme Court decision or DEGREES
might subject officials to damage
suits in their States or to con-
tempt action by the high court.
The decision dealt only with
racial segregation in public
schools at the grade and high
school level. But the voiding of
such segregation was SO decisive
and sweeping that it is inter-
preted as applying to segregation
in public colleges and universe
ties. Separate cases, however,

YOUR
ELECTION
LAWS

The Constitution of Ohio desi-
gnates the General Assembly as
the law-making body, and re-
serves to that body the sole auth
ority to enact laws. But as a
protection, the people of Ohio are
granted the right to initiate laws.
This machinery is begun by the
circulation of petitions, and it is
necessary to obtain signatures of
qualified electors equal to three
per cent of the vote cast for Gov
ernor at the next preceding cleo
tion for Governor. In 1852 there
were 3,605, 1853 votes cast for this
office, so 108,155 signatures. are
required this year for initiative
petitions. These signatures must
be obtained from each of one
half of the counties of the state
and such petitions shall contain
at least one-half of the designat-
ed percentage for such county.
These petitions are then filed
with the Secretary of State who
presents them to the General
Assembly at the opening of their
next session. The Legislature
then considers the proposed law
and if it does not pass it, or if
it is passed in a different form
that proposed, or if the Legis-
lature takes no action within
four months, the proponents may
circulate supplementary petitions
which shall be signed by not less
than three per cent of the cleo
tors in addition to those signing
the original petition. Such sup
Elementary petitions are then
filed with the Secretary of State,
and the proposed law is placed
on the ballot If a majority of the
voters approve the proposed law,
it becomes effective and is not
lsubject TO the veto Of the Gov
ernor.

The Good Samaritan
Is a Wonderful place,
Plenty rooms
But very little space.
The nurses are so kind
And look SO sweet,
All dressed in white
And look so neat.
The food they bring
Sure is sublime,
Most all the time.
They make your bed
And mop the floor,
Even sweep up
Behind the door.
The Doctors are all very kind
And know their stuff,
Just take their pills
And don't get rough.
Don't ask any questions
For you will never know,
What it is all about
Until you are ready to go.
When you get well
And the light is on green,
You'll say Good Bye Good
