DesegregGte In Fall
Schools Ordered By
Federal Judge LeaIsy
CONTINUED from page one)

continued from page one)
The order settles, after less than
IA months Of litigation, not only
the fight over the entry of Negro
children into seven specific school
districts, but all school districts
in the state.
The 80 lays mentioned in the or
der stitrteC to run on Monday. Thus.
they would be up a day or so after
the begnnilg of school in the fall
At the same time, the appeal
which the defendants can make in
the case, may be made under fed
eral court procedure in the next
30 days, beginning today.
1t was impossible to estimate
how many of the states 118 Negro
and white school Districts both
special and state school boaris-
would be affected by the order.
Generally, however, it is safe to
say that the SO districts of Kent
and Sussex Counties with the ex-
ception of Dover, where a plan has
been put into effect, will feel in
some way the impact of the deci-
sion.
Judge Leahy used the words "de-
segregaten and "desegregation"
throughout his opinion, distinc-
ton from ''integration" since
schools will be integrated as
matter of law-but not as a mat
ter of f.ct-where the neighbor-
hoods themselves are segregated
in such way as to make integra-
ton impracticable.
Since Louis l.. Redding, attorney
for the children involved, first filed
the cases on May 2, 1856, there has
been a line of distinction among
the defendants.
He filed complaints against eight
defendant school districts, plus DR..
George r. Miller, Jr., state super
intendent of public instruction, and
the State Board of Education. The
school district Defendants was soon
cut to seven when the Christiana
School District soon put its own
plan into effect.
The other defendant school
boards were Clayton District No.
119, Milford Special District, Green
wood, Laurel, Seaford, Milton and
John M. Clayton No 81 which
serves Frankford and Dngsboro.
The attorney generals office,
representing the state board and
DIR. Miller, replied to this that the
responsibility for a plan rested
with the individual boards. A num-
ber of the boards themselves, how
ever, replied that the area "below
Dover" must be considered a single
community in anything like this
and the responsibility should rest
with some agency like the state
board.
At a hearing last week on the
motions which led to Mondays
opinion, Judge Lelhy referred to
the ''cat and mouse game, between
the sides. an apparent reference
to the attempts between the state
board and the individual boards to
place the responsibility on the
other.
Clearly" said Judge Leahy
Monday, ''it is best in the abstract.
to be handled in the first instance
by local boards for integration, as
commanded by the Supreme Court
of the United States. But, it is also
recognized point and not indepen-
dent action is called for by all
paties concerned
Milford chronicle., 1957-07-19

A court opinion usually gives tbs
decision, but it is not binding until
it is effected by the formal order
which in many cases follows the
opinion by a few days
Monday. however, Judge Leahs
filed his opinion and order at the
same time.
Technically he was ruling on
two motions to the court by Mr.
ReddiDg. In the first of these Mr.
Reddi,ig asked that all seven OF
the cases be considrd together
that done, he asked in his second
motion that summary judgment be
granted on all of them. Summary
judgment is gr>nted without trial
when there is agreement on the
facts of this case.
Judge Leahy had previously or
dered a plan of desegregation for
the Clayton School District-which
had attacked the courts jurisdic-
ton. Clayton attorneys had no
tilted the court that it was appeal
ing the order to the Court of Ap-
peals for the Third Judicial Dis
trict. but this was never done
Clayton was included with the
other six in this opinion
With that he placed the burden
Of the plan on the state board.
The opinion, of course, dates
from the mandate of the U. S. Su-
Dreme Court of 1854 outlawing
school segregation.
Mr.. Redding was attorney for
the plaintiffs-5S of them in the
original suits. Other attorneys
were:
Atty. Gen. Joseph Donald Cra-
ven, Chief Deputy Atty. Frank
O'Donnell. Jr.. and former Chief
Deputy Atty. Gen. Herbert L. Co
bin for DT. Miller and the state
board; James NJ Tunnel, Jr. OF
Georgetown and James H. Hughes
III, of Dover for members of the
Milford Special School District
Mr.. TunnelI for the Greenwood
Laurel and Seaford districts; Ever
EFT F. Warrington of Georgetown
for the Milton district; Frederick
P. Whitney of Georgetown, for the
John NJ. Clayton District, and
George r. Wright and David P
Buckson of Dover for the Clayton
District.

Farm Accidents
Need Not Happen

Many farm accidents could be
prevented if farmers were as con-
cerned about good housekeeping
in their barns as their wives are
about the appearance Of their
homes
When it comes to preventing
accidents, good housekeeping
around the barn is just as impor-
tant as keeping the house spick
and span, advises O. L. Hogsett,
extension safety specialist at the
University Of Illinois College Of
Agriculture
Farmers should take a little
time right now to clean out haz-
ards around the barn to make
chores easier and safer for the
rest OF the winter.
II alleyways or other work areas
are cluttered with sacks Of feed,
stools carts and other obstacles,
find safe. out-of-the.way place
for them. Forks, scrapers and 9TH
er barn-cleaning tools belong in a
safe storage rack-not standing in
the corner or stuck up over beams.
You're using the ladder or stairs
to the haymoW more often now,
so make sure all steps and rungs
are sound and fastened we'll If
the ladder doesn't extend well
above the loft floor, build an ex-
tension.

For Week Ended April
Heavy Rains Slow Down Farm Work;
Create Favorable Ground Moisture

Editors note: This is the first
weather and crop report for the
1857 season. Weekly reports will be
published until the latter part of
November. These reports are based
upon information supplied by yoIun-

vocational agricultural instructors,
and county agents
Farm work was retarded BY
heavy rains, in most parts Of the
State during the past week Growth
of small grains and pastures Is well
advanced but progress of N
other crops is later than usual The
ground moisture supply is better
than it has been during the past
five years.

Concentrate Milk

Evidence is slowly but steadily

And Virginia daltymen are being

The possible sale of concentrate
milk in Virginia could present stiff
competition to local producers and
distributors, the economists say.

mists at the University Of Wisconsin

it in place of their regular milk.
If the concentrate was SIX cents
