These will be astounding prob

consider how taxpayers will
be burdened for maintenance
of public schools also chal-
lenge the U. S. Supreme
Courts revolutionary decree.
Education is compulsory up to-
a certain age in all sections of
the nation. Millions of dollars
have already been expanded
by leaders Of the Solid South
and border states for main
tenance and rebuilding of
separate but equal public
schools in anticipation of le-
gal acceptance for their eff
forts to appease litigants,
who were demanding educa-
tional equality.
The U. S. Supreme Courts
decree was an unexpected up-

who were led to believe that
public school segregation
would go on until the end of

consent decree, as in anti

Some judges in the South
are firmly opposed to integra-

and delays can be expected. 1t
IS probable that appeals from
these will be heard by the
Supreme Court, and the prob

to be faced by the court.
The Supreme Court states
clearly, however, that local
disagreement is not to stand
