Justices Rap
‘Public Fund’
Segregations
WASHINGTON — Jf)— The Su-
preme Court Monday seemingly
sounded the death knell for racial
segregation tn all places supported
by public funtls
In separate unanimous actions
the court affirmed a decision hold-
ing racial segregation illegal In
public parks and playgrounds and
ordered Negroes admitted to pub-
lic golf courses
This in effect swept away what-
ever remained of the historic "sep-
arate but equal" doctrine as ap-
plied to tax-supported facilities
The major blow to that doctrine
of course came in the court's
unaminous decision in May 1954
holding segregation in public
schools unconstitutional
It-Wnrd Decision
Until then the "separate hut eq-
ual’ doctrine originally laid down
In 1899 had largely governed the
legality of segregation in tax-supported
facilities It meant that seg-
regation was permissible when
separate hut equal facilities such
as schools were provided fur dif-
ferent races
Using only 11 words the high
court affirmed a decision by the
If S Court of ApMals in Rich-
mond Va that segregation in
public parks and playgrounds Is
Illegal All the court said was: "Tiie
motion to affirm is granted and
the judgement Is affirmed"
Isiwer Courts Revised
The Richmond tribunal had said
the seiwrato but equal doctrine for
white and Negroes waa dead
The Supreme Court took only 58

Ike Will Leave
Hospital F riday
DENVER— (—President Eisenhower will leave the
hospital for Washington Friday— but two of his doctors said
Monday it will be “late January or February” before he can
decide on trying for a second term
Dr Paul Dudley White and MaJ
Gen Howard M Snvder told
M Snyder told a
news conference Eisenhower's
mending heart must be "exposed
to considerably more strain" be-
fore the President can decide on his
"physical future and whole life”
That did not rule out the possi-
bility that Eisenhower already may
have made up his mind on seek-
ing or foregoing another four years
in the White House But White
and Snyder said the President had
given them no inkling on that
Condition Improved
White the eminent Boston heart
specialist Snyder Eisenhower's
personal pnvsi'cian and other doc- j
tors who have liecn attending the J
President since his Sept 24 heart
attack appeared at the news con-
ference after thorough lengthy ex-
aminations of the chief executive
Sunday and Monday
However hazy the jwilitical future
might be White said that he had
only good news again" on Eisen-
hower's physical condition at this
point And he added
We have all myself included
decided that Friday in the morn-
ing Nov 11 will lie the time for
his takeoff here So he will arrive
in Washington in the afternoon”
Then he said the President
plans to go on to his farm at Get-
tysburg Pa next Monday to cele-
brate Mrs Eisenhower's 59tli birth-
day Political Future Hazy
To a question whether he would
run again if he “were in the Presi-
dent’s shoes" White replied that
I haven't enough information
yet”
”1 would want to know how I
would face the problems of the
next few months" he said “I
might have made up my mind al-
ready” “Do you think he has?” a report-
er Inquired
"I don’t know” White answered
Work Needed
In response to a similar ques-
tion Snyder replied:
"He hasn't voiced it to me 1
haven't heard hint voice it to any-
one" At one point White gave a mea-
sure of support to the idea that
Eisenhower may recover suffici-
ently to feel physically able to seek
a second term At another he
dashed a hit of cold water on it
"By and large” he said “a car-
diac ‘patient nut only usually can
work hut he should work
"Complete invalidism from heart
disease is uncommon Idleness
breeds unhappiness and Is bad for
the health”
But as for applying that general-
ization to Elsenhower the heart
expert remarked:
"The President Is in a unique
situation at least so far as my
experience goes since lie Is the
first president of the USA that
I have examined with coronary
thrombosis
"I have no precedent on which
to base cither adequate advice or
predictions
"Many of my patients have
worked hard for years after recov-
ery from coronary thrombosis like
his hut they were not presidents
of the USA
