Charlottesville Council Sane
Approach ToSegregation Ruling
(From Charlottesville, Va, News)

Unlike a number of it's sister cities and other local
governing bodies, City Fathers have taken
approach to the controversial Supreme Courts decision
outlawing segregation in the nations public schools
At its November 1st meeting, Council adopted
resolution urging Virginias Attorney General Lind
say Almond to appear before the High Court and ask
for the maximum possible time for conformance to the
school segregation ruling. This action while putting
Council on record with those governing bodies in other
localities in the state believing that 1.-The time isn't
right for Indignation of the races in our public
schools is at least welcomed departure from the line
followed by many similar governing bodies in that
failed to voice any desire to have the state seek to cir
cumvent the Supreme Courts edict every legal
means to duck the law. Of the average layman
knows there is such thing legal means TO vo-
late law of the land Just plain "horse-sense tells
US that. But it isn't illegal to seek postponement of
rights to recommend it.
While we not at all enthusiastic over Councils
suggestion that the maximum possible time for
Torrance" be granted by the court-because it could
mean year or two, or decadeS-We admire its spirit
which indicates that it wishes to conform to the law
through the medium of genuine democracy only that
this Vexng problem will ever be solved.
Undue delay in meeting problem is bad
thoughteSS haste In the segregated school issue
i'll feelings have been gendered by the threat of de-
laying tactics on the hand, and equally improper
been voiced to force the issue rather than await the
Supreme Courts final decree in the case All of the
time spent in these l-advised maneuvers could have
been better spent by the citizens of both meeting
face to face around the council tables in every hamlet
and town in the affected in spirit of goodwill and
genuine desire to cooperate and learn of each
others problems so that when the High Court hands
down its final ruling in its historic decision the people
will be better prepared to cope with the situation to the
mutual benefit of all concerned.

that ACHR has operated unusual
" effectively. One is a bit as
tonished at the record it has made
and this record gains emphasis
because it was established Incl
dentally to the operation rather
than as a planned accumulation for
an occasion such as this survey.
1t would be difficult to find any
organization that has done so
much with so little, on the one
hand; and it may be equally as
difficult to find an organization
with SO much unused potentiality
as resides in the 100000 men and
women who back the organization
on the other. One is likely not to
envisage what this potential really
means in terms of getting things
done. 1t follows then, that any
notion of diminishing the work in
any way would seem to be quite
out of place. This is the time
for new resolves to 90 forward to
greater fruitfulness.
Finally, there is every reason to
be heartened. Since 1948 many
things have happened that could
not be anticipated at that time.
Although ACHR cannot claim sole
credit for what has transpired,
certainly we thing that no one
can read what has gone before
without approaching that it has
played a highly important role in
what has taken place. We have
noted several events such as the
elimination of segregation in the
railroad dining cars and the drive
on housing in which the role Of
ACHR bulks so big that few would
want to discredit any reasonable
claim it might put forth. ACHR
can afford to put aside distrac-
tons and in the idiom of the Brit
ish: go on with the job"

In resolutions approved by two

forms of injustice, discriminat'/n
and segregation based on color
or race"
The actions were taken by the
Division of Foreign Missions and
the Division of Christian Life and

individual members and local
churches on the basis of color"
Inconsistency Deplored

this practice in the light of Chris

progress by the churches of
