PUBLIC SCHOOLS OPEN IN WAKE OF COUKT DECISION Columbia, August 21 — Public schools in South Carolina open this session after the historic May IT U. S. Supreme Court decision that race segregation in them is unconstitutional. That decision mey_jnean that the state’s traditional separate schools for white and Negro pu pils are on the way out. As yet, however, the Supreme court has not indicated wben segregation in the schools shall be ended. This a question ex pected to be answered this fall. Pending the additional action by the court, state school author ities will operate as they have in the past. There has been no court order to change tWe status qifo. Therefore, the separate schools will open as , usual in every school district in the state. On the other hand, the Na tional Association for the Ad vancement of Colored People hv called for an end to segregated schools this year in line with the spirit of the court decision. The state NAACP chapter has announced, however, that R will wait until its annual meeting at Spartanburg, Oct 15-17, before deciding on any plans to push for Negro admission to white schools during the 195^55 school year. Still, it’s quite possible that in dividual Negroes may seek to en ter white schools when they open. In such instances, it’s almost certain they will be turned away and told to go to their own schools. They will be reminded that the State Constitution for bids mixing of the races in public education and requires separate schools. Nothing the Supreme Court has done so far has super seded that constitutional pro vision. Negroes denied admission af ter applying on the basis of the court decision may, of course, seek redress in the federal courts. This would take time, however, and any such suits probably would have to wait, anyway, on the forthcoming Su preme Court directive. It may be that individual Ne groes and the NAACP will rec ognize the facts of tlje situation and wait for the courj to act again. At the present time, there are several pending petitions by which Negroes seek either an of the requirment for a public school system. This emendfhent, first proposed by Gw. Brynes, was approved overwhelmingly in the 1962 general election. It was ratified by the 1964 General Assembly. If YOU DOMT READ THE CHRONICLE YOU DOMT GET THE HEWS end to separate schools or admis sion to white schools on the ground that school facilities for them are not equal to those for whites. All of these petitions, several of which have been re jected by the trustees of the school districts concerned, are backed by the NAACP. These petitions could, in the end, become the basis for court action similar to the now famous Clarendon County suit contest ing the. validity of segregated schools. The Negroes’ appeal in that case from a lower court decision that segregation was constitu tional so long as facilities were equal was one on which the court acted when it held that segrega tion Viplates the federal consti- tution’s 14th amendment. It’s possible that Negroes will bring other court actions. The Supreme Court’s final action will apply only to the Clarendon case in this state and the school authorities in the court will be the only ones directed to end segregation. The effect, however, would be that every school district would be expected to comply with the] court’s order. Quick steps could' be taken to extend the order to apply individually or generally. The problem of how to keep the public school system and at the same time continue to main tain seperate schools will be up to the 1955' General Assembly. It easily will be the greatest problem faced by any legislature in generations. The state is committed to try to retain its separate schools. Whether this can be done in the face of the court decision and coming decree, time alone can tell. A 15-member legislative and governor’s committee is at work on the problem, but so far has come up with nothing more than preliminary recommend a t i o n s that schools operate in the com ing session as they have in the past. The committee said no long- range recommendations can be made until after the Supreme Courts’ order is sutdies. It will be necessary to know what the order directs before attempting to chart ty course for the state to follow, the committee added. A preliminary and precaution ary step was this year’s elimina tion from the state constitution PenneyS ALWAYS F I k S 1 QUALITY REPEAT ON TWO SELLOUTS! > \ ...Just Received...
