Several indicated state laws against race mixing on transportation systems would have to be tested in separate court actions, and pending such tests, segregation would be continued on buses.

Gov. J. P. Coleman of Mississippi said that state would continue to separate the races on public conveyances despite the Supreme Court decision against segregation on Montgomery, Ala., buses.

"Our attitude about this decision," Coleman said, "will be the same as about the school segregation cases." He added that the Supreme Court ruling was based on an Alabama statute and that Mississippi's newly enacted laws to strengthen segregation "are not involved."

Georgia's Atty. Gen. Eugene Cook said the ruling does not directly affect any Georgia city but that it would set a precedent by which federal district courts would be bound. Gov. Marvin Griffin said Georgia would oppose by all legal means any effort to apply in his state a high court ruling aimed at banning bus segregation.

In Florida, Atty. Gen. Richard Ervin said bus segregation laws remain in effect in that state and must be enforced despite the Supreme Court ruling.

Sen. W. M. Rainach, chairman of the Louisiana Joint Legislative Committee on Segregation, said:

"I interpret the Supreme Court's new decision on bus segregation to mean the court plans to outlaw separate but equal facilities in every phase of our life. The original school segregation decision was not constitutional and this is just another unconstitutional decision by the same court."

Gov. George Bell Timmerman, South Carolina, Frank Clement, Tennessee and Luther Hodges, North Carolina, withheld comment.

Negroes have been boycotting buses in both Montgomery, Ala., and Tallahassee, Fla., in protest against segregation of the races. In Montgomery, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., one of the boycott leaders, said a mass meeting would be held tomorrow night to decide whether to call off the boycott there in view of the high court ruling. He said Negroes "unquestionably" will decide to end the boycott.
