Repealed Columbia, Feb. 8—A state sen ator declared today that “we are not going to submit to the unlaw ful dictates of the Supreme Court,” but intend to keep sepa rate schools tor White and Ne groes. Sen. Rembert Dennis of Berk ley made the assertion m support of a bill to repeal the state’s com pulsory school attendance law.

Legislature Columbia, Feb. 5—The General Assembly is slowly and painfully coming to grips with the school segregation problem. Members of the .legislature realize more every day just how difficult the task of pereserving the state’s traditional segregat ed public school system is going to be. The Senate this week began debate on the five bills recom mended by the Gressette Com mittee after extensive study of the problem presented by the Supreme Court’s May 17 decision. The proposals were billed by the committee as intended only to “clarify” present law and to in crease “the efficiency of admin istration." In recommending the measures to the legislature, the committee pointed out that the Supreme Court has not yet handed down a decree implementing its decision, and said for that reason it is still “not ready to suggest an overall and final plan for meeting the problems which may be created was urged that the law had never oee nstrictly enforced (for ex ample, it technically forbids at tendance at private or parodual schools), and its punitive sections are not necessary to insure school attendance. At the same time a companion bill increased the importance of the so-called “visiting teachers” preclude their repeal and the re storation of the original laws.” Two other senators, Walkae of York and Baskin of Lae, asked for more time to study the pro posals and to consult with educa tional authorities in their home counties. They also proposed an alter nate measure to allow the State Board of Education to suspend the compulsory attendance lav/ if any county where it determines that enforcement might “cause whose job is to persuade par- social unrest or breaches of the ents to send their children to! peace, disturb the tranquility of school and to help solve problems 1 any neighborhood, or be detri- such as lack of money, clothes, mental to the health and welfare shoes and books, which are re-! of the people, or be not in the defeat Senators Wallace and Baa- kin withdrew their amendment temporarily, but gave notice that it or one similar would be offered when the stendance repeal bill is considered for the last time next week.

The resolution went back to the Senate for consideration of the amendment. As passed by the Senate, the resolution would have given the state insurance commissioner au thority to suspend licenses of companies “failing to settle with property owners on a fair, im partial and equitable basis or us ing unfair methods in perfecting settlements.” The House amendment elimi nated that provision. The insur ance commissioner now only would be authorized to investi gate the situation and instruct companies to settle losses on a “fair, impartial and equitable basis with expense to policyhold ers.” BiU Not lUcallod The House refused by an over whelming voice vote to recall from the Ways and Means Com mittee a county option liquor sales bill.
