Justice Black in a short statement said he had denied a request for speeded up actin, after consulting with all other members of the Supreme Court.

The high tribunal last Tuesday in a brief order affirmed a decision by a special three-judge U.S. district court in Montgomery, Ala., that such segregation violates the constitution.

This Supreme Court action specifically struck down an Alabama state law and a Montgomery City Ordinance that requires separation of the races.

SPEED UP PARLEY CALLED

Meanwhile, Atty. Gen. Brownell today called a conference to plan a course of action for federal authorities in the South under the Supreme Court decree striking down racial segregation on buses.

CITY LINES WAIT ON INJUNCTION

CHICAGO (AP) - An official of National City Lines said today that operation of segregated buses in Montgomery, Ala., probably will continue, despite a U.S. Supreme Court ruling last week, until a state court injunction against non-segregated operation is lifted.

Ben Franklin, vice president of National City Lines, which operates the Montgomery City Lines, Inc. said the company is required to maintain separate seating arrangements for Negroes and whites under a state court order issued after non-segregated operation was attempted last spring.

The U.S. Supreme Court decision holding segregation on buses unconstitutional is subject to a 25-day delay in legal effect pending a possible move for rehearing.

"We must operate under standing judicial orders directed to us," Franklin said. "That means the state injunction remains in force until further direct order by the U.S. district court."

The injunction directing Montgomery City Lines Inc., to continue enforcing city and state segregation laws was issued by Circuit Judge Walter B. Jones at the request of city authorities.

Jones wasn't available for comment today, but he said last Friday that he hadn't been asked to dissolve the injunction.

The judge declined to say what action he will take if such a request is made, but he commented that he wouldn't have to act until he is officially notified of the Supreme Court's integration decision.

Summoned to a meeting here Dec. 10, were the 34 U.S. district attorneys stationed in 14 southern states.

Brownwell said in a circular letter to them the conference "will consider and decide upon measures most appropriate to secure observance of the United States constitution and laws by carriers and all others who may hereafter require segregation of white and colored passengers on common carriers."

The attorney general instructed the Southern prosecutors to bring with them copies of any local or state law in effect in their district relating to racial segregation.

Brownell said that in view of the Supreme Court decision of Nov. 13 invalidating Alabama and Montgomery, Ala., statutes on the subject that "it is now clear that any such law, statute, ordinance or regulation must be regarded a dead letter."

14 STATES INVOLVED

The conference here involves district attorneys in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.

Of the segregation statutes, Brownell asserted:

"It is also clear that the enforcement or observance of any such discriminatory measure by any common carrier of passengers will constitute in the future and in the light of the unmistakable declaration of the federal courts a willful deprivation by the carrier of the constitutional right, privileges and immunities of those discriminated against and a crime against the United States. Anyone who commands, induces, procures, counsels, aids or abets the carrier in the commission of any such crime is equally guilty." After the Supreme Court decision Montgomery city authorities announced they would employ "every legal means available" to continue separate seating arrangements for white and Negro passengers on buses in that city. City officials said this policy was based upon preserving public safety and promoting order in the city.
