A week of so-called great de-
bates faced the Legislature this
week as highly controversial pro
posals were brought to the floor
of the Senate or scheduled for
hearing in committee.
The measure sponsored by sew
eral Negro legislators to end seq
regation in hotels, restaurants
and other public places was ex-
pected to create the most tense
atmosphere at any hearing dur
ing this Legislature but the bills
introduced in both the House and
Senate were not expected to get
favorable consideration.
The oft-debated merits and de-
merits of a proposed veterans
bonus was also scheduled for
hearing and there was a chance
the much-discussed Right-to-Work
bill to outlaw the union shop
would be given an airing.
In the Senate were bills to set
up a toll road authority and en-
dorse construction of toll road
from Baltimore city northeast

sylVania lines to intersect with
Routes 1 and 40 going north.
Montgomery County sentinel., 1955-03-10

Editor,
Montgomery County Sentinel
Dear Sir:
Congratulations on your fine
editorials dealing with integration
of schools in Montgomery County.
The Maryland Attorney General
is on record as saying that the
Supreme Court has issued an
opinion" and not a final decree
in the segregation cases. This is
an untenable position. The Su-
preme Court has finally and un-
conditionally declared that segre-
cation in the public schools is a
violation of the equal protection
clause of the Fourteenth Amend
ment and is therefore unconstitu-
tional Brown v. Board of Educa-
tion). Since Maryland is not party
to the cases for which the Court
will give detailed instructions.
there is no reason to delay action.
The District of Columbia. which
is a party, chose to integrate with
out waiting for further court ac-
ton. When the D. C. Federation
of Citizens Associations tried to
block integration by asking for a
restraining order, District Court
Judge Henry A. Schweinhaut de-
MED it, Saying that since the Su-
preme Court ruled school segre-
cation unconstitutional he had no
authority to halt plans to abandon
it. there are bound to be some
hardships whether integration
comes this year or next and that
the court can't stop it because it
inconveniences some people.
he thought it better for the school
board to act now than to sit on
its hands and wait for the Su-
preme Court to tell it what to do"
(Southern School News, Oct. l.
1854
Sincerely,
Virginia S. Hinton.
