Says Deep South De
Unlikely In Forseeab
PHILADELPHIA? Desegregat- (Coi

seems unlikely in the foreseeable j lou
future, according to the current is- anc
- sue of The Saturday Evening Post. | ?
The observation is made b yinio
John Bartlow Martin in the first jme
of five articles entitled "The Deep'ly
South Says Never." stn
Martin, who recently won a third pre
Benjamin Franklin Award for dis- jthe
tinguished reporting, says that the awi
first reaction to the Court's ruling \ I
was that desegregation seemed in- exj
evitable and not far off. Coi
"At that time, the South was mo
? I
divided, perplexed, resigned," he 'in '
comments. "Today the Solid South 'ga>
is a fact, and its resistance to de- "
segregation is franitic." tell
Martin's report tells that an im- wh
