A gradual ending of public
school segregation during the
next IL months instead Of i'm
mediate complete integration was
suggested today in the first
brief received by the Supreme
Court in preparation for oral,
arguments December 6.
The brief submitted by at
torneys for the Topeka, Kans.
Board of Education attracted
particular attention here. It
showed some similarity between
moves already made in the Dis
trict and in Kansas to integrate
schools.
The District and Kansas, along
with Virginia, South Carolina
and Delaware are directly in
volved in cases kept on the Su-
preme Court docket. These will
be the basis for the December
discussion of the most equitable
method Of framing DEGREES to
carry out the May II decision
against racial segregation in pub
lie schools. Seven other States
which required such segrega-
ton have announced they will
submit briefs and probably par
ticipate actively in the oral ar
gument.
DeadIine Extended.
Although the deadline for fl
ing briefs recently was extended
from October l to November is,
the Topeka officials presented
theirs now. It said the Topeka
school authorities have pro-
gressed "as rapidly as practic-
able'' in integrating schools and,

Notes Apprehension.

school board added. that it is
only human to be somewhat ap-
prehensive about changes in long
standing customs.
"It is equally true, however
that one of the things that has
made the United States the great
bulwafk against Communist and
Fascist totalitarianism is the fact
that, by common consent, we ac-
cept the principle of government

ence to law, especially when II
concerns the rights of OUR fellow
men, is a primary obligation OF
citizenship"
The board said it had conf

havior that serves only to con-

Wet Nam Quarrel
Reported Settled
By The Associated Press

PARIS, Sept. 15.-The French
News Agency reported from Sal
gon today that Wet Mans Pre-
mier and army chief of staff
have settled their quarrel, ending
the immediate threat of a new
outbreak of violence in the Indo-
China state.
Premier Ngo Dinh ordered the
officer, Gen. Nguyen Van Hinh,
to quit his post last Saturday and
take the first plane for France
on a study mission" Gen. Hinh
refused and posted army guards
in front of his residence and
headquarters to prevent any
move by the Premier to arrest
him.
According to the Saigon re-
port:
The two reached a gentle
mans agreement" yesterday I'M
der which Gen. Hinh will take a
short leave" But he will %
keep his army title, CD desig-
nate his temporary successor,
and 90 shooce the date of his
departure.
Repeatedly he will not leave
for some time because of the
reorganization of the Wet
Namese Army now going on.
