Supreme Court Orders Start On Integration Consider Decision * A Compromise On Race Integration WASHINGTON (INS)—The su pre me court today ordered lower courts to require “a prompt and reasonable start” toward integration of racially segregated publie schools. Lt was a middle ground decision, pretty much along the lines that had been suggested by the justice department, but without any fixed deadlines. The decision was considered a compromise between Negro partit loners’ demand for “forthwith" desegregation and the argument of southern spokesmen that local courts should be allowed to decide when and how integration should be carried out in light of local conditions. The unanimous decision, handed down by Chief Justice Earl Warren, was brief—only a little more than four pages. The decision said: 1 “While giving weight to these public and private considerations, the courts will require that the defendants make a prompt and reasonable start toward full compliance with our May 17, 1954, ruling. “Once such a start hag been made, the courts may find that additional time is necessary to carry out the ruling in an effective manner. “The burden rests upon the defendants to establish that such time is necessary in the public interest and is consistent with good faith compliance at the earliest practicable date.” The court noted that “these cases aroee under different local conditions and their disposition will involve a variety of local problems.” CHICAGO (INS) — Excise tax collectors of the 48 states who received . increased revenues each year since the end of World War 11, report that in 1954 collections leveled off on all but motor fuel. The Federation of Tax Administrators reports that the states had received yearly boosts from sales, tobacco and distilled spirits taxes until last year. ■ I »>.♦** D
