together Fl Negro students were
admitted into formerly white
schools.
In Norfolk II Negro students
entered six junior and senior high
schools of the city, while in Ar
lington four Negro students en-
tered Stratford Junior High School.
The entire nation, including the
south which is still bitterly OPP
posed to integration, appeared re-
lieved, and praised the fact that
integration of the schools was ac-
complished without violence or
demonstration of any kind despite
threats following Governor AL
mond's capitulation speech to a
joint session Of the legislature last
week.
White House Press Secretary
James c. Hagerty said in Wash
ington that President Eisenhower
had been following the Indignation
process in Virginia quite closely
and thinks it fine thing that it
has been orderly"
Governor Almond and many leg
islators alike voiced qualification
that the transition to Indignation
had been both orderly and peace
full.
Both at Norfolk and Arlington
extra police were on duty, but both
inside and outside the buildings no
violence or even unpleasantness
was reported.
AS Indignation entered it's Sec
ond day Tuesday, in diminished
numbers, and with little to do but
look on, police still stood guard
at three senior and three junior
high schools in Norfolk and at
Stratford Junior High School in
Arlington. The school day began
in both communities with out a
hitch, except for just bit Of boot
ing about "the Niggers" from white
students at Norfolk's Norview

Superintendent, said he thinks

States that public schools must be

coupled with q similar federal
court ruling on the same day that
the law closing schools in Norfolk
and elsewhere violates the United
States Constitution, throws the en-
tire issue Of Indignation right back
into legislative halls.
I'm q very real sense" writes
Ralph McGill, editor Of the At
lanta Constitution, "Jan. 10, 1859,
must be placed beside May "a,
1854, as a date Of major import
ance in the long ordeal Of resist
ance to the courts decree declar-
ing that public schools could not
discriminate between qualified cit
liens in admission"
The Arkansas Gazette Of Little
Rock, Ark, notes that it was a
Virginian court which "said that
the state did have to maintain
public schools"
Significantly" the Gazette add
ed, "Gov. J. Lindsay Almond greet
ed the news that his program was
wrecked with an expression Of
faith in the ability and judg-
ment" of the court.
"The significance Of this for Ar
kansas is that the provisions of
the Virginia Constitution are very
like those of our own against
which similar school closing laws
will have to be measured"
The Gazette adds that "the pre-
cedents in the Little Rock case,
plus the new one from Virginia,
seem to say plainly that we must
maintain a universal, that is, a
statewide, public school system, or
none at all, and they define a
public school as one supported by
public funds"
While the Virginia state court
ruling does not directly affect an
Immigration legislation in other
states, it will have considerable in
fluence. The rest of the Old South
has looked to Virginia to lead in
the battle to keep the public
schools segregated. The decision

them by surprise.
Scoutmaster Herber Jackson told
police some 5000 in damage was
done to his car by the rock-tossing
white boys. Tires were damaged,
the tenders bent and windows
smashed.
The violence was the first in the
city since several federal court or
ders went into effect last year.
The City park was integrated a
month ago by federal court orders.
Police said they would continue
their search for the offenders.
They said they suspected many of

no doubt will lead to Wholesale re-
appraisal Of legislative steps
throughout the South.
Mr.. McGill, commenting on the
Virginia decision, wrote:
"In the aftermath Of the vir-
ginia action, the people Of the
South might well ask themselves
if they will continue to follow ex-
tremist advice"
Political leaders throughout the
South are still wary and generally
decline to 60 on public record on
the effects of the most recent
court decisions. Gov. Orval Faubus
of Arkansas said the Virginia rul-
ings were irrelevant and he renew
ed his confidence in the eonstitu-
tionality Of his own local-option,
private-school plan.
A Mississippi political leader,
who refused to be quoted by name,
said:
"This means closing all Of our
public schools. The sentiment in
Mississippi is so hot against mix
ing the races that we will close
all public schools, If necessary"
Mississippi has laws to permit
statewide or selective school clos
ings. ..
Georgia reacted by speeding up
legislative action on bills to give
the Governor power to close
schools.
Texas, which also has selective
school = closing statutes on t h o
books, showed little public reac-
ton. The states politicians ap-
peared ready to wait on action by
their own Texas courts.
Some Texas legal experts saw
in the Virginia decisions an in
dication that southern states would
have to turn to finding legal means
of gradual Indignation that would
avoid as much violent trouble As
possible and at the same time sat
isfy the Supreme Court order to
desegregate with "all deliberate
speed"
Many Texans also see in this
a possible way out Of the wise

the Lone Star State faced by fed
eral orders on the one side and
threats of state penalties on the
other.

For Norfolk it was the first

sistance law.
