RALEIGH, N.C.-The dominant
reaction in North Carolina to the
latest utterance OF the Supreme
Court is one of relief that show
down will be averted for time.
In general the courts decree,
making district courts responsible
for ending segregation and giving
those courts discretion to take local
situations into account. follows the
position taken by the State before
the court last April.
It is now generally agreed that
there Is no occasion for special
session OF the Legislature and that
actions taken by the regular session
are SUFFICIENT. A resolution was
passed opposing integration in
temperate language and the public
school law was rewritten entirely.
Principal changes were to turn
back to counties and cities control
of the public school system which
the State assumed in 1883 and to
remove from the law all reference
to racial segregation. The State
constitution still provides for sep
arate schools but it is generally
conceded that this provision has
become obsolete.
The new school law fits neatly

NEW ORLEANS.-The Supreme
Court decree ordering compliance
with its 1854 decision outlawing
segregation in a way turns back
the clock In Louisiana.
For almost 80 years, beginning
with . "carpetbag" convention in
1868. this States constitution OUT
lawed separate schools. However, in
practice, white and Negro children
did not receive their schooling side
by side. In most communities sep
arate schools were continued. In
others, whites and Negroes sat in
separate classroons with a hallway
between them.
Then, for 81 years. the State con-
stitution required separate schools.
This constitution was amended in
1854 to empower local school boards
to assign pupils to various schools.
Intended to continue segregation.
the amendment was approved by
"a per cent of the voters.
Last Tuesdays decree is regarded
as mild by most advocates Of seq
regation. Some felt it indicated a
change Of mind, II not of heart.
Local attorneys for the National
Association for the Advancement
Of Colored People were disappointed
that the decree set no desdline for

CHARLESTON, w. Va-Integra-
ton in West Virginia, already well
under way, likely will be speeded
by this weeks Supreme Court opii-
ion, since generally the decision
has been hailed by both white and
Negro educators and officials.
Twelve Of SIS counties were COM
pletely integrated following the
courts original opinion while IL
others have partial integration.
Eighteen counties have taken no
action on the issue, ii have no
Negro pupils and integration in one
county has been delayed by protest
actions.

in State public schools is 420,577
as compared with 26,133 Negroes.
according to latest figures. All Of
West Virginia's 10 State supported
colleges, including two former ALL
Negro institutions. now are inte-
grated.
With decisions to be rendered by
local courts, 1t is felt that delaying
actions will be abolished and in
tegration will be accomplished COM
pletely within two years. There are
definite prospects that many more
schools will integrate at the fall
terms beginning. u

tegration breathing easier. No
Negro has sought entrance In the
public schools or higher institutions
since the decision. and no challenges
are presently in sight, although Or
ganized Negro groups have promised
to go to court "in the near future"
The most highly organized group
opposing integration is the Citizens
Councils" q vigilante-type organ
ization formed about 10 months ago
which eschews violence but uses
economic pressures to discourage in
terest In integration or voting.
Mississippi, with approximately As

highest proportion Of Negroes to
whites In the South. The school
census for 1850 showed 393.803
whites and 492, $40 Negroes in the 6

SOUTH CAROLINA
BY 8. L. LATINFER. Jr.
Editor, The Columbia state

COLUMBIA, 8. C.-South Caro-
inians took the Supreme Courts
implementation order quietly. There
was no excitement, but obviously
white determination to resist de-
segregation Is still firm. There has
been no noticeable change in atti-
tude since the Courts original rul-
ing year ago.
The stage is set for endless litiga-
tion if-and when-enforcement is
demanded. AS far back as three
years ago, preparations were be-
ing made to try to operate within
the terms of a decree that 1t was
sensed eventually would come, and
still maintain segregation.
A mandatory public school pro-
vision was stricken from the State
Constitution. Changes were made
In school districts. A provision In
the general appropriation bill cuts
of from all tax money tD any
school receiving q pupil on court
order, and (2) the school from
which the child Is transferred.
Local school boards have been
authorized to send pupils to other
schools "in the interest Of educa-
ton and public good. And the
Constitution still forbids the mix
ing Of races in schools.
South Carolina. as a State. never
became a party to the segregation
suit. Therefore, the order applies
only to the defendants In one small
district whose school population is
8 to / negro. Statewide, the propor-
ton Is 43 per cent Negro, yet 81
per cent Of the States multi-mil-
lion dollar school improvement
money, authorized under the ad-
ministration of Gov. James r.
Byrnes, has gone to Negro schools
and transportation. Teachers get
the same pay, and retirement and
vacations, regardless Of race. A de-
finite effort has been made to
eoualize the schools, but 1t will
be a long time before white South
.CaroIinians, generally, will sane
tlon lntegratlon.
The trustee chairman of the dis
trict from which the Supreme Court
case arose has announced that If
desegregation is ordered the schools
will be closed.
In the meantime. members OF
both races are waiting quietly to
see what the courts latest order
really means. There are no vigilante
groups and violence is not expected.
Right now, South Carolinians are
asking: Is there to be an indefinite
postponement down here Of appli-
cation Of the courts new principle.
or Just . delay to allow for adjust
ment? When this question is an
swered. more can be told as to what
the future portends.

men said: ut appears the decree
leaves much room for delay and
evasion"
State school board members,
some Of whom have expressed OPP
position to integration, viii meet
June n to consider the decree. The
New Orleans Catholic archdiocesan
school board, which held UP in
tegration plans for parochial
schools pending issuance Of the
decree, also viii meet within a
few days."
No suits affecting elementary or
secondary schools are pending, and
there are no signs Of any "vigilante"
organization or action In Louisiana.
There probably will be suits flled.

OKLAHOMA

ehief Editorial Writer. The Daily okiahoman
OKLAHOMA CTTY-Segregation
Ia made mandatory by the Okla
homa constitution adopted at
statehood In 1907. That provision
Of the organic law has been vital
ized and supplemented by subse-
quent legislative enactments. Hence
desegregation will be violation OF
both the constitution and the
statutes Of Oklahoma.
But desegregation win proceed as
rapidly In Oklahoma as In any
other border State. Many Of those
who have supported segregation in
the past now acquiesce In the Su-
preme Courts decision. Most Of
them consider desegregation inevi-
table. regardless Of what they think
of its desirability. There Is no Or
Eanization working to block the
courts decision. OF course, isolated
outbursts may occur but there will
be no organized campaign Of OPP
position.
In the school year now closing
485.141 pupils were enrolled In the
public schools. OF these. 448,734
were white and SO, ,407 were Negroes.
Many white districts do not
contain q single Negro family. and
In q number Of Negro districts there
are few, If any, whites. Most Okla
homa school districts have no in
innate interest at all In desegrega-
ton.
The most vocal opposition Is
heard in Little Dixie"-the south
eastern corner of the State. But
even here there are many areas
where no Negroes have ever resided.
In Little Dixie" districts where both
races are represented, desegrega-
ton will be slower than In other
sections.
Fortunately, Oklahoma has had
considerable experience in dealing
with racial problems. The Indian
issue, quite bitter at statehood,
has been solved completely.
