Lotham, Md. The "die-hards" of Maryland were told in no uncertain terms, by W. Giles Parker, assistant attorney general of Maryland, who addressed a mass meeting of white PTA that "sooner or later, there will be no segregation in the public schools in Maryland".
Mr. Parker, who was introduced as a good democrat, said, "The Supreme law of the land has spoken. Ways must be found to preserve our public schools and the law and order. Flouting the law is hardly a desirable action".
The attorney general did state that he feels that the individual counties should be allowed to determine when all schools should be opened to all children. We do not think the Supreme Court should decree immediate integration. We do believe that the Court should allow for gradual adjustment.
