Serials Dept supreme 1 11 11 0 -WASHINGTON .? The Supreme Court Tues day wiped out state and local laws requiring seg regation on buses. It did so by affirming a decision of a special three-judge U. S. District Court in Montgomery, Ala. That court ruled that enforced segregation of whites and Negroes on Montgomery buses vi olated the Federal Constitution's guarantees of due process and equal protection of law. UNANIMOUS In a brief unanimous order, the Supreme Court cited its 1954 decision against segregation in pub lic schools. It also cited subsequent decisions outlawing segregation in public parks and play grounds and on public golf links. As it has done in .several segregation cases since its basic school decision, the high court acted without listening to any argument. Except for citing three segregation-banning decisions, all the court said was: 'The motion to affirm is granted and the judg ment is affirmed." . Negroes in Montgomery have conducted a long boycott of city buses as a protest against segre gation. One of the things they resorted to was operation of a car pool to carry those who used to use the buses. . A state court at Montgomery is now consider ing the city's attempt to halt the car pool as illegal. The court continued its hearing Tuesday THE WORLD NEWS H Bftllfr 7 FROM RADIO.

Coleman said his state -would continue to segregate Ne groes and whiles on public conveyances, despite the Supreme Court drdr. "Our attitude : about the decision will be the same as about ;tbe school segregation cases," Coleman said. Mississippi's public schools, like many others in the South, are still segregated. In the bus segregation case, Montgomery's board of commissioners and the Alabama Public Service Commission appealed from the ruling of the' three-judge court voiding state and local bus segregation laws. . The lower court, dividing 2-1, said "There is now no rational basis upon which the separate but equal doctrine can be validly applied to public transportation within the City of Montgomery." And it said "The application of that doctrine can not be justified as a proper execution of state police power." The two judges in the majority said they agreed with a decision of the Fourth U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond that '"the separate but equal doctrine can no longer be safely followed as a correct statement of Jhe law." The separate but equal doctrine, now dead for all practical purposes, was laid down by the Su preme Court in a transportation case in ICfwJ known 'as Plessy vs. Ferguson. . . ... . : - . - I - m .. ; 1 WEATHER Generally fair and warmer.
