decision by the Court Of Ap-

Senator Phipps said he is in
accord with the court ruling
which said assessors should use
the same yardstick in dealing
with personal property as with
real estate.
The tax commission has
been treating real and per-
sonal property as two different
tax classiflcations. Personal
property Is assessed at full
value. while real estate Is as
sessed at only Q fraction Of
Its worth with allowance for
infationary influences"

DALLAS. Dec. 20 B-Dal-
llas school ofiicials, happy over
Q Federal Appeals Court ruling
which lifted an order for them
to imtegrate their schools next
month, today turned back to
mapping deliberate plans for
desegregation.
The United States Fifth Cir
cult Court Of Appeals in New
Orleans yesterday ruled that
school authorities here should
be accorded q reasonable fur
thef opportunity" to integrate
schools.
Last September Federal
Judge william H. Atwell or
Idered integratlon Of local public
schools ut midterm. Twice be-
fore he issued decisions saying
Dallas need not integrate and
said his third ruling was done
90 reiuctantly.
Court Mandate Cited
The Appeals Court, in an
opinion BY Judge Richard
Rives, said, I'VE thought, and
still think, that this courts
mandate made it clear that
before q more specific date
should be fixed and before any
orders or judgments should be
entered to require compliance
with the judgment directed In
that mandate, the school au-
th0rities should be accorded o
reasonable further opportunity
promptly to meet their primary
responsibility in the prem
iSes.
Then IL the plaintiffs, or
others similarly situated, should
claim that the school authori-
ties have failed In any respect
to perform their duty, there
should be . fun and fair hear
ing In which evidence may be
offered by any and all parties.
THE judgment Of the Dis
trict Court Is therefore re-
versed."
Quotes Judge Bryan
In his ruling, Judge Rives
quoted from Q decision by Fed
earl District Judge Albert v.
Bryan Of Alexandra in the
Arlington, Va, desegregation
case TO emphasize his con-
tention that the Superme Court
rulings did not require school
integration.
1T must be remembered"
Judge Bryan wrote, that the
decisions Of the Supreme
Court do not compel the
mixing Of the different races
In the public schools. No gen.
eral reshuffiing Of the pupils
in any school system has been
commanded. The order Of the
court is simply that no child
shall be denied admission to q
school on the basis Of race
or color"
DR.. Edwin L. Rippy, school
board president, said that nat
urally we are pleased with q
decision Of the circuit court
which again allows US the op-
portunity Of debating our own
timing and suggesting our own
methods"
He said surveys made in con-
Injection with eventual integra.
ton here were not merely de-
laying actions. We've learned
o great deal-not only from
the studies but from observa-
ition Of other communities that
have integrated."
Or. Rippy declined to make
known the boards specific plans
on integration.
