CraUen VIII Take OUer
Segregation Hearings
(cOntlnued from frst pagel

CONTINUED from first pagel
court.
Mr.. Young said that the results
of the polls would be made part
of the Delaware data he intended
to submit to the court. He recalled
that at the original hearings before
the U. S. Supreme Court, he was
asked by Justice Black what kind
of an impact he thought a desegre-
cation decision would have upon
Delaware.
In response at that time, Mr.
Young said he thought that the
transition would be smooth in New
Castle County but as for Kent and
Sussex County, he added, he would
not hazard a guess but that if he
had to venture an opinion, a de-
segregation decision would have a
chaotic effect.
AT that first meeting, Mr.. Young.
as attorney general, argued against
desegregatiOn and asked that the
state of Delaware be given time to
bring certain Negro schools up to
the equal in facilities of white
schools.
However, when the Supreme
Court handed down it's sweeping
opinion, saying that segregation
in and of itself was unconstitu-
tiOnal, Mr.. Young said his next
task was to present to the court
his ideas on how the transition
could be effected.
He has recommended that the
problems of desegregation be given
over to the lower courts in the
state and that the U. S. Supreme
Court take into consideration that
shock is not the medium by which
this transition can be accomplish
ed"
He has also argued in his latest
brief to the Supreme Court that
the period Of transition might be.
of necessity, longer in one com
munity than in another.
And nOW-in view of the recent
public opinion polls taken in six
southern Delaware towns-alI over
whelmingly against integration-
he said that most certainly the
facts Of the polls should be made
part of the Delaware story and
presented to the U. S. Supreme
Court for evaluation.
The new Supreme Court hearing
are to determine when and how
the states are to lower the color
bar in public schools as ordered by
the court in its historic decision
last spring.
In its brief order, the court con-
tinued the case ''in view of the abb
sence Of a full court"

States, and approximately 20 mill
lion licensed drivers operating
them. Last year, these vehicles
travelled an aggregate how much
more serious our situation will be
when we have 85 million vehicles
which are predicted for 1875.
And yet, tremendous as the
problem may be, we can solve IT,.
If we really want to solve it. We
can do so by doing the things
which we know we should do when
we drive and, Walk-and doing
them every day, the year round.
Proof of this can be found in
the fact that, in every one of the
first nine months of 1854, the num-
Der of deaths has been lower than
in 1853. Much Of this heartening
record is no doubt traceable to the
stimulation of effort in oOmmuni-
ties throughout the nation, as the
result of last February's White
House Conference on Highway
Safety" he concluded.
Governor BOggs also praised the
work of his Governors Highway
Safety Committee, and referred to
the better record which has so far
been established in the State this
year. He said that through con-
certed publicity efforts and intelH-
gent planning the committee has
made a fine contribution to calling
public attention to safer driving.
However, he said that there are
still too many highway accidents
and deaths, and the effort must be
a continuous and accelerated one.
