Jack Greenberg, chiel legal counsel for the NAACP, admitt ed at the organizatioiT's state convention here last week that it was the ''most significant” ruling obtained since the 1994 decision outlawing segregation^ He said he expected the rul ing to have a “tremendous ef fect" on states in this region from Maryland to South Caro- lina. The Fourth Circuit embraces most of this territory. However, Greenberg, like most of the other attorneya in volved in the case, declined to comment further when ques tioned about the decision follow ing the convention meeting. He said he would need time to read the court's decision. Attorney William A. Marsh, of Durham, also one of the at torneys in the case, told the Durham daily press last week "we are of course happy over the decision, but we would need to wait until we study it to comment further.” Marsh's senrtimeat was echoed by the other {irincipals In the ca^e.
