Georgia Defiance to Court Ends By End of Segregation
Washington reports the Georgia fight with the Supreme Court over ending segregation remains unresolved as Governor Talmadge faces a potential clash with federal authority. The court sets a deadline for ending segregation and invites states to argue terms of a decree in October. Possible paths include Georgia defying the ruling, risking contempt and jail, or eventual federal enforcement steps. The piece recalls historic U S clashes over Cherokee territory and Georgia’s prior refusals, noting John Marshall’s decisions and enforcement questions.
