To Follow In
Decision Wake
By AL KUETTNER
ATLANTA, May 18 (U.R)—Dixie
| segregationists formed battlelines
| Tuesday in an effort to preserve
the South's traditional color bar-
riers despite the Supreme Court's
historic decision that segregation
in the public schools in unconsti-
tutional.
The high tribunal issued its long-
awaited document Monday. It
came after months of deliberating
an issue regarded as the most vital
affecting one region since Abraham
Lincoln's Emancipation Proclama-
: tion.
The Supreme Court scheduled
further arguments for next fall on
vital issues connected with its
unanimious decision and affected
, states were invited to submit addi-
tional briefs in the cases. Only
I after that will enforcement ma-
chinery be drafted.
Thus, Negro and white students
will not be going to school togeth-
er in large areas of Dixie for per-
! haps many more years.
Reaction Tempered
The possibility of the long delay
i tempered reaetioan mong white
southerners which ranged from ap-
peals for calm to blunt warnings
that no court decision can over-
? throw segregation in the South.
Most Dixie congressional dele-
gations were highly critical. Sen.
James O. Eastland of Mississippi
: said "the South will not abide by
th's legislative decision by a po-
litical court."
One of the biggest surprises of
the decision was that it was unani-
