Dixie's Best Legal Minds Working
OvertimetoThwartSupremeCourt
Birmingham. vi». — some
at tlu- bent legal uiiiiiix in
i-» deep South, atone with
state legal departmrnts down
this wa). are working ovrrtinw
trying to figure out Hon to
defy tile l\ S, Supreme ronrt
anil nuke it legal.
Some states, not involved in
the NAACP suit, have lieen
worrying whether filing briefs
wtNild malie tliein parties to the
suit.
Aftea healed legal debates in
North Carolina as to whether
the state's entry into tlw ease
as a friend of the rourt would
make it party to the pending
rases and thus subject to any
direr! derree made by the
rourt. North Carolina's Gov.
I instead and Atty. Gen. Harry
MrMullln issued a joint an-
nouncement last week derhiring

too, must have a starting point.—From Poor Richard's
Almanac. Benjamin Franklin said, "Save and Have."

that McMullia would tile a
brief.
Three lawyer*, member* at
the governor's segregation ad-
visory committee, have not de-
cided whether McMulliu or a
member of the committee wlU
appear In person to present
North Carolina's position.
Also In the air was just whit
the state's position will be.
In Tennessee, where au an-
nouncement was made earlier
that the state would present
a brief advocating gradual de-
segregation on a grade-hy-
graile basis. It looks like state
officials will pass up lite op-
portunity to air tlieir views be-
fore the high rourt.
Gov. Frank Clement said last
week the stale had only pro-
tected its right to submit a
brief by stating its intention
of doing so.
State officials indicated Ten-
nessee nu) not submit a brief
for these reasons:
1. Ureal school boards enjoy
virtual autonomy, and » plan
suggested by the state might'
not hate approval of local au-
thorities.
!. Main local authorities ap-
parently prefer tile stale sub-
mit no brief.
3. Some officials believe fil-
ing a brief might be considered
to place the state directly under
the court's jurisdiction in the
case thereby reducing the time
limit It might have for effecting
desegregation.
Meanwhile. Arkansas' Atty.
Gen. T. .1. Gentry agreed to a
request from llie state hoard
of eduration to file a friend
of the court brief—a step which
would directly involve Arkan-
sas for tile first time in the
May 17 Supreme court ruling.
The hoard made tlie requevt
after receiving petitions from
30 school districts ill Fast Ar-
kansas which are more direetly
affected by the decision because
of large Negro ixipulalioiis.
Since briefs are due by Oct.
1, Gentry will lie forced to
ask for extension of time.
The decision to file was brought
to a he;.d by recent petitions
for i in til e d i a t e integration
filed with 1.3 school boards by
the Arkansas Conference of
NAACP branches.
