High, according to reports, told

According to reports however,
soon after his release late Monday
afternoon, High was visiting bar
Der shops and other Negro estab-

published report concerning what
he told Judge Noble.
In addition to denying the pub

High told Newsmen "The 70 stock

no stalling should be permitted
and that progress reports should

find it impractical to integrate
Immediately.
Most violent reaction came from
Georgia officials. Atty. Gen. Eu-
gene Cook said that 1T is imma-
terial to the people of Georgia
what method they use to enforce
the decision, because the people of
Georgia are still determined to cir
cumvent the decision at all haz
ards"
Gov. Herman Talmadge called
the brief by Brownell "a reversal
of policy" and said the govern
ment is apparently beginning to
realize that people are going to
handle their local problems on the
local level"
While Talmadge and Cook greet
ed the news of the brief in their
usual negative way, Gov. Theodore
McKeldin of Maryland, praised the
plan, calling it a serious and
thoughtful effort to assist in ar
irving at rational solution" He
said he had confidence that the
high court would IDEAL with ques-
ton with wisdom and statesman
ship"
Reaction in other areas was as
follows:
In Virginia, Atty. Gen. T. Lind
say Almond commented that off
hand the brief sounded drastic"
but seemed to be about what one
might expect" from Brownell.
The Charleston, S. c. News and
Courier said that in "the fine print
of Brownel's plan may be found
the same old compulsion, the steel
in the velvet glove" The paper
said the South does not want
mercy or sympathy, but Justice"
In Arkansas, the Little Rock Ga
zette called the brief "the happiest
legal surprise in long time"
Now the department of justice
with the public blessing of Pres
ident Eisenhower-has virtually
endorsed the basic arguments
brought forward by southern at
torneys-general who have filed
briefs as friends of the court.
"1t embraces the most important
principle emphasized by the South
ern states: that is, that the va
rfety of school segregation prob
lens is so great that it is prac-
teal impossibility for the Supreme
Court to lay down rigid formula
for de-segregation that will apply
in all cases."
The Washington Cd. c. Evening
Star said the justice department
evidently has concluded that such
things as human emotions and hu-
man prejudices should be taken
into account, and it would be
rash man who would deny that
there is wisdom in this view"
Most Northern papers greeted
| the brief calmly and with moder-
ate praise. The Chicago Sun
Times seemed to be displeased
with Brownell's statement that ra-
cial segregation would have to be
terminated as quickly as possible
regardless of how much it may
be favored by some people in the
community"
The paper said, "this may be
easier said than done. Segrega-
ton won't end in many commune
ties until political leaders want it
to
The conservative New York
Times also said that at may be
that segregation will not finally
end until leaders in the II states
that have permitted or required it
want it to end. But many of those
leaders have already been con-
WINGED of this historic necessity,
and others will be.
"The leaven works-let there be
no doubt of that. We move to-
ward a more perfect democracy,
not away from it."

Negro citizens of the state ap-

many seeing the passage Of the
