BY the Associoted Press

State school officials have been
advised by Gov. James F. Byrnes
to maintain segregated Negro
and white schools during the
1954-55 school year.
In a statement released here
yesterday. Gov. Byrnes said that
all school districts except Clar-
endon County should ignore
the threats" of the National AS
sociation for the Advancement
of Colored People to push for
Negro admission to white schools
and refuse to admit Negro stu
dents"
School trustees at Clarendon,
where one of the successful cases
to end segregation originated
and which would be affected
first. should also "deny admiS-
sion to Negroes unless or until
they are ordered by the court to
admit them" Gov. Byrnes said.
Gov. ByrneS said he does not
believe the Supreme Court will
be able to formulate plans for
ending segregation until after
the next school year.

ture renewal of efforts to get
Federal funds. The Hill Burton
