U Prof. Predicts
Complete Integrofion
By 1853 In u. S.

a--IANP)--Negroes can
effect Indignation by 1868 If they
are prepared to wage an about
fight for it, Prof. William NJ,
Boyd. Atlanta university. declar-
ed last week.
Addressing an Atlanta unlver-
sity summer school assembly on
'Desegregation and the Local
Community" Prof. Boyd said de-
segregation can be accomplished
even in Georgia. However, he
warned against apathy in the face
of dilatory tactics by politicians
and the elaborate procedure of adj
ministrative relief set up in Geor-
gia, and added that Negroes must
be prepared to fight in the courts
II necessary.
Touching on the Supreme court
decisions on segregation, he said
the courts recent ruling remand
ing the cases back to the lower
courts has been misinterpreted in
the South. The Southern press,
he commended, has hailed 1t as a
victory for the South and for seq
regation.
The ruling, Prof. Boy! said, did
not retreat from but rather reaf-
firmed the principle that segrega-
ton in education Is unconstitu-
tional. 1t placed the burden OF
proof on the defendants that they
need time to comply with the rul'
ing. he explained. Racial problems
said Prof. Boyd, are not listed a.
mong reasons which may be Civ
en-, but only such problems as re-
visions of local laws, administra-
tive difficulties, physical condi'
ton OF school plants and revisions
of school districts.
Prof Boyd rejected the assump'
ton that Southern-born federal
judges will interpret the "practi.
cal flexibility" phase Of the rul'
ing as synonymous with sep
arate but equal" to do so the
judges would not only impugn the
integrity Of the federal bench
but would in effect assume that
the high court Is blind to dilatory
action.
But he advised against impa'
thence in the face of further de.
lay. After going through 25C
years OF slavery and almost sc
years of segregation and discrim'
nation, the Negro will be philoso'
phical about waiting few more
years as he fights in the courts &c
make first-class citizenship real
ity for all Americans"
Prot. Boyd is chairman Of the
department Of political science al
the university.
In another action, officials re
ported the summer schools en-
rollment at 1882. A breakdown OF
figures show $50 graduate stu
dents and $50 undergraduates.

All three are candidates for
Ward directorships in tomorrow's

Points to Competition
Mr. MacLeish noted that
Ward manufactures and sells
its own line of paint and paint
products through its retail
stores and mail catalog. He said
Ward completes actively and
vigorously with Devoe g. Ray

80 cities in more than 20 States. .

Montgomery Ward g. Co. today

it would be legal for financier
Louis E. Wolfson and two of his
associates to serve on its Board

Mr.. WolfSon, in a statement,
called it 'last, desperate. back

added. ''it won't work. Our at

The challenge by Wards law
firm. coming on the eve of a
proxy battle for control of the
huge mail order house, was
based on the three mems con-
nectien with a company which
completes with Ward in paints

Attorney John MacLeish in a
statement said the Clayton
Antitrust Act prohibits any
person from being a director of

one of which has capital, surplus
