Rigid Racial Ruling

repeated he had no comment.
When the matter was raised a
third time, the secretary took out
a transcript of the Presidents re-
marks on the subject and studied
them.
Hagerty then said, in reply to
another question, that Eisenhower
was not basing his remarks on any
private information.
HThe President reads the Courts
opinions" Hagerty said, alluding
to the High Tribunals original rul-
ing against segregation in the
schools. He added:
Il refer you to a copy Of the
opinion"
Problems Are Complex
That opinion gave the back
ground of the litigation, held that
public school segregation violated
the constitutional guarantee of
equal protection of the laws, and
then added, with respect to carry
ing out the Courts decision:
Because these are class actions,
because of the wide applicability
Of this decision, and because Of
the great variety of local condi-
tions, the formulation of DEGREES
in these cases presents problems
Of considerable complexity."
The opinion eefcluded with the
call for further argument on the
various possible methods of put
ting the decision into effect.
Attorneys for Negro parents in
the school segregation cases told
the Court, November 18th, they
would be willing to postpone de-

not any longer.
When the Court ruled last May
18th that public school segregation
is unconstitutional, it decided TO
hear further argument on how de-
segregation could be carried out.
Some border communities didn't
wait for final orders but started
the process this fall. There were
instances Of racial friction in some
OF them; in others the white and
Negro children were brought to-
gether without incident.
EisenhOWef's mention of the nos
sibility of the court settling on a
decentralized program could mean
handing the problem over to re-
glonal authorities, perhaps federal
district courts.
