Decision Gets
Fast Reaction
BY ROBERT X. WALSH

Reaction came quickly today
to the Supreme Courts broad
ening OF the 1854 public school
racial segregation ban to cover
such public recreational areas a
parks. Fairgrounds. beaches and
golf courses.
And, like the high courts order
last spring concerning progress
Of school integration. It's decision
yesterday In cases from Mary
land and Georgia aroused specu-
lation as to an early effect on
compliance by recreation places
In Virginia and other States.
The tribunal did not discuss
detailed reasons for affirnine
the Fourth Circuit Court Of Ap-
peals. But its short statement,
coupled with an almost equally
brief announcement on q golf
course segregation case from At
lanta, made clear that the high
court based It's action on the
May III. 1854, decision outlawine
racial segregation In public
schools.
In accordance with q previous
order from the Supreme Court,
Negroes had been admitted tc
the municipal golf course In At
lanta but only on specified days
Of the week. Several Negroes
asked the Supreme Court to de-
clare that this was unlawful dis
elimination. The high court yes
terday not only granted that
request but told lower courts and
Atlanta officials that they would
be bound BY the decision In the
Baltimore and Maryland cases.
The Supreme Court specifi-
cally reversed rulings by the
