by urging this type of affirna-
tive action from our government.
The segregation forces. the N
AACP attorney asserted, are try
ing to mislead the people of the
nation by holding up the false
hope that the Supreme Courts
anti-segregation ruling can be
reversed or nullified. They are
asking for time. not to comply
with the Courts decision, but to
reverse it
In the face of state action to
circumvent the Courts ruling
and the propaganda barrage to
mislead the people, neither the
executive nor legislative arm of
our federal government proposes
any positive hope or concrete
plan of action Mr.. Marshall
said.
AS long as these two branches
of the federal government fail
to provide affirmative action to
protect our rights. We shall
continue to resort to the courts
for redress he declared.

high court intended this stan
dard to be applied on a case by
basis, the Union declared, 1.-THE

the source of the trouble was

Desegregation itself does not
inevitably result in the evils
described by Judge Lemley, the
ACLU asserted There must be
public hostility to generate these
evils, and if the concept of all

Against LemIey

The American Civil Liberties
Union this week called on the
Justice Department to oppose a

Declaring that Judge Harry j.

the Little Rocks school boards
plan to lapse until 1861 will
have serious adverse consequent

trine laid down by the u. S.
Supreme Court in it's 1854 deci-

urged the government to file a
friend of the court brief on the
appeal of Judge Lemley's order
to the Court of Appeals. The Ma
tional Association for the Ad
vancement of Colored People is
appealing Judge Lemley's deci-
sion.
The ACLU request was made
in a letter to Attorney General
General William P. Rogers and
signed by executive director
Patrick Murphy Malin.
THE idea of desegregation has
been argued for eighty years,
Malin wrote. The u. S. govern
ment hes stated its position in
the argument We respectful
ly urge that it is now the respon-
sibility of the Executive branch
of the government to insure the
application of the Supreme
Courts decision by arguing that
a lower court opinion not in
consonance with that decision be
set aside on appeal

the ACLU said instructed fed
