Suprom Court tp decide whether school authorities in Prince Edward County, Va., must reopen the , schools they "closed nearly five I years ago was hailed here this * week by the man who has fought the case for 13 years. NAACP General Counsel Ro bert L. Carter stated that the necessary result of a favorable decision by the Court “will be i a quickening- of the pace of change on the school desegrega tion front ... ' “If Prince Edward (County cannot succeed in defeating the right of Negro children to an unsegregated education, the in evitability of compliance with the May 17, 1954, Supreme Court decision will become mani fest throughWit the South,” he said.

The decision to settle the basic. constitutional aspects of the case thus bypasses the possibility of tnrttier lowei court oetion. “In view of the long delay," an un signed order slated, “anfl the importance of the questions pre sented," the Court invoked a Ifarely used power to decide cases before their final resolu tion in the Courts of Appeals. prwce Edward County was one of the original NAACP cases resulting in the Supreme Court decision of 1954.

Until this fall the 1,700 Negro school children in the district were without formal school training.
