TUSKEGEE, Ala., Dec. 30 - Tuskegee Institute suggested to-day that persons of different races would get along better without laws to govern race relations in the United States.
It applauded the Supreme court's decision outlawing segregation in public schools as a hopeful step because it "allows the individual freedom to work out race relations rather than legally denying or restricting freedom in their being worked out."
The observation came in the first annual survey of racial problems, which will replace the lynching report that served for many years as the famed Negro school's barometer of race relations.
L. H. Foster, president, abandoned the lynching survey last year because he said it no longer served as an accurate index of racial progress.
The first report in the new series concerns "the legal definition of the Negro's status as the framework within which patterns of race relations are worked out."
