The Supreme Courts unani-
nous decision Monday which out
lawed segregation in the public
schools OF the nation has been
hailed by most people as one OF
democrncy's greatest triumphs
When word Of the decision frs,
reached the Twin Cities Monday
morning, the immediate reaction
throughout the community was
one OF extreme rejoicing in the
Negro community and general APP
probation in the white community.
II wasn't until late Monday
and Tuesday before the full inn
pact and Importance OF the de-
cision was realized.
Radio. newspaper and TV peo-

The court decision, read by
Chief Justice Earl Warren was
unanimous and caused n storm
of condemnation and some
praise in the south and gencr-
al approval in the north where
there is generally no school
segregation.
Three southern states, Texas,
Oklahoma and Kentucky have
indicated through their COVER

the decision, Kansas, one Of the
states involved in the suits has
also announced that il has al

sion got Monday.
Except for the south there
has been practically mo- adverse
comments about the decision.
As far as could be ascertained
no Minnesota leader In the Twin
Cities has publicly stated any dis
agreement with the decision.
Newman Makes First Public
Statement In state
First Minnesota public reaction
was voiced on wCCo-TV and
wCCo radio by Cecil II. Newman.
Minnesota figure and newspaper
publisher who told thousand OF
Tv viewers on the Cedric Adams
o'clock news that tho Supreme
Court decision banning segregat-'
ed school was victory for Ameri-
can Justice and fairpiay,
Newman said the decision would
rob Russian propagandlsts Of
one OF their valid charges and re-
flute the widening views among
non-whites OF the world that the
United States was unfricndly to
their legitimate aspirations, The
Adams program had picture
roundup OF the case with shots
and comments from white
southerners
Newman also appeared ON

shortly after Newman's
statement came one by Mime
sofa u. =. senator Hubert II.
Humphrey heard on another Tv
and radio station.
The daily papers in both cities
commented favorably about the
decision in their editorials.
While the decision had no direct
bearing on Minnesota's educa-
tional system. several persons
have stated that II Is their opin-

ment when il was learned they
would have been segregated de-
velopments and not open to whites
as well as Negroes.
One of the firms involved in the
earlier plans is currently develop
ing large suburban project but is
extremely reluctant to show any
of these homes to Negroes.
Encouraged BY League
The Tilsen project was conceiv-
ed when the Minneapolis Urban
league had N. p. Dotson, mid
west racial relations officer for
the FILA meet with the members
Of Negro real estate firms last
year.
For awhile it seemed as though
none of the realtors were inter-
ested in Dotson's suggestions as
TO how FILA approval for an in
tegrated project could be obtained.
II remained for Archie Givens,
real estate salesman, an enter
prising young man, to start the
ball rolling.
His first problem was to find
land where such a project could be
built and then find builder who
would go along with the idea.
Luck seemed to prevail in that
he found both the land and the
builder. Sixty-three lots advertis-
ed in the SPOKESMAN were
found in the area adjacent to the
southern boundary of the FREEDOM
inantly Negro community in south
Minneapolis.
In the past, the area beyond
42nd st. has showed more antag-
aganIsm than any other section
of the city whenever a Negro fam
lily has moved into the neighbor-
hood. At the present time there
are only two Negro families living

Report on Design
For New Bridge
indicated Nov. 4

A special committee of the
National Capital Planning Com
mission was one slow step closer
today to accommodation on
design of the city's newly-au-
thorized Constitution avenue
bridge.
The committee - Conra d
Wirth, head of the National
Park Service; H. j. Spelman,
Bureau of Public Roads district
chief, and Leon Zack, represent
ing the chief of Army Engineers
met for two hours yesterday to
study proposals submitted by
city and, Federal planning tech
nicians.
Nov. 4 Report Indicated.
Afterwards, Mr.. Wirth, COM
mittee chairman, would say only
that additional data would be
gathered for another committee
session next week. The commit
tee, he indicated, will be pre-
pared to report to the planning
commission at it's next meeting
November 4.
Mr.. Wirth said he has put a
tight clamp on discussion of
the preliminary proposals until
a final recommendation is de-
cided for the controversial span.
The bridge will cross the
Potomac about 1900 feet upriver
from Arlington Memorial Bridge
This would put it approximately
in line with Constitution avenue
Connection Is Question.
The problem, however, is
whether it actually should con-
meet with Constitution and, If
not. where it should lead. City
officials argue that Arlington
Memorial Bridge traffic already
has the big avenue jammed to
capacity.
The chore is to find a way for
each of the two close-by bridges
to handle big peak-hour traffic
volumes. but by routes that won't
require prohibitively expensive
new structures.
