Negro educators were almost
unanimous in expressing skep¬
about the projected plan
for regional education propos¬
ed at the Southern Governors’
conference last year. It look¬
ed like a way of side-stepping
the issue of foremost impor¬
tance at present, the admission
of Negro students into white
state universities. The NAACP
and like-minded groups have
had a long Ibtter fight and
were about to taste success
through Supreme court rulings
in their favor when the Re¬
gional Council for Education
was formed.

Times as recently as May 25
stated in an editorial, ‘‘Since
the regional plan was motivat¬
ed in a large degree by the Su¬
preme court rulings on equal
educational facilities for Ne¬
groes—the program Is likely to
perpetuate, or even Intensify
