“We have not vet seen the
court's opinion. However, wp
will give it careful studv mith
view to probable anneal to the
U. S. Supreme court.”
Judge Tohn J Parker of the
Fourth U. S. District Court of
Anneals and District Judge Geo.
Bell Timmerman voted for the
statu* quo in southern schools,
and District Judge J. Watie*
Waring, the man who opened
the South Carolina primaries
to Negro voters, dissented.
In a 21-page dissenting opin¬
ion, Waring declared that the
time to get rid of jimcroi
schools is now. He declared that
the- time cfor students to study 1
at mixed schools is not at the
graduate level in college, but
at the beginning level of ele¬
mentary and high schools.
that all of the legal guide-posts
expref testimony, comhon sense
and reason point unerringly to
the conclusion that the system
of segregation in education
adopted and practiced in the
state of South Carolina must
go and must go now.”
In the majority decision
Judges Parker and Timmerman
stated:
“There can be no question but
where separate schools are
maintained for Negroes and
wliites, the educational facili¬
ties and opportunities afforded
by them must be equal.
“We think, however, that seg¬
regation of the races in the
nubile schools, so long as equal-
'tv of rights is preserved, is a
matter of legislative policy for
the several states, with which
'he federal courts are power¬
less to interfere . . .

al matters is esfcential to the

Judge Waring supported tlmir
contentions with a lengthy
statement. Pertinent points he
made include the following’
‘ Segregation is an evil that
must be eradicated . . . the place
to stop it is in the first grade
and not in "raduote colleges .
“The nation’s hige®t courts
have stricken down segregation

declared unequivocally that seg¬
regation is not enualitv . . .
Previous cases have onlv . .

Departing from a prepared
address, Mr. Wilkins also at-
| tacked as "untruth" charges in
| an Atlanta Constitution edl-
torial that the NAACP has
i helped to distort the true pie-
I tore o fracial conditions in the
South.
The welcome to the conven-
tlon was delivered b ' Mayor
Hn^tsfield.
gal action was announced by
T'umtrood Marshall, chief conn-
sel for the association, who
indicated that tht< - phase will
receive a priority almost equal¬
ing that given cases
segregation in education.
Previously, the NAACP has
'•ue-essfullv fought segregation
in transportation on the
state level.
Mr Marshall said that the
new cases, still in the planning
stage, will be filed under
visions of the Fourtee ith
Amendment. Thev will attack
both stale constitutions
local ordinances, he said.
The legal conference, a part
of the opening program of
NAACP convention meeting
here, was attended bv 40 NA¬
ACP lawvers. It confirmed that
an appeal of the Clarendon
S. C, segregation ease will be
made ' immediately'’ and laid
groundwork for a battery of
suits nationally.
Marshall also predicted that
a suit against the Atlanta
Board of Education will be
heard “before the fall,” .and
that action on the application
of Atlanta Negro Horace Ward
for admission to the University
of Georgia Law School will be
entered in Federal Court before
fhool opens
In the latter case, he said,,
Negroes will attempt to exhaust |
all administrative remedies. He
said that the application, al-
ready denied by the registrar
of the University, must be
officially rejected by the chan-
cc v or and Board of Regents
The Negro attornpv scoffed
at provisions of a 1951 Georgia
appropriations bill which, would
withdraw public funds from;
the University system If a Ne-
ero Is admitted. He compared
the move to the South Carolina
white primary law which was
declared unconstitutional on
the grounds that it was a “eal-
ciliated effort by the state to
give awav its governmental
functions.”

The convention broke up into
dNcussion panels today, the
chief of which was the one on
civil rights legislation. Walter
White, executive secretary of
the NAACP, told the group that
the filibustering tactics of a
"stubborn Southern minority”
is “dangerous to democracy it-
self.”
He charged that Republicans,
including Senators Taft (Ohio)
and Wherry (Neb.), were “play-
ing alone” with the Southern
bloc in the efforts to scuttle
civil rights legislation,
