Thomas McAfee Funeral Home is in charge. and of Ruling To Make Atlanta Speed Integration Asked ATLANTA (UPI) The Justice Department asked the Supreme Court today to require Atlanta to speed up school desegregation and the city was quickly joined by the state of Georgia in an all-out legal fight against the move.

The Supreme Court is expected to rule soon whether Atlanta, now in the fourth year of a stairstep desegregation plan, must not only speed up the plan, but integrate faculties and set up school attendance zones. The appeal before the high court asks that all Atlanta public schools be fully integrated by September 1965. Atlanta school officials were clearly angry over the Justice Department step. They maintained that the city had "bent over backward" to comply with federal court desegregation orders and now is being punished "because things are going SO well." The school board instructed its attorney, A. C.

(Pete) Latimer and a special assistant, Newell Edenfield, to go to Washington to prepare for the fight in the Supreme Court 1 to have the present school plan upheld. Attorney General Eugene Cook summoned a news confer- BAKER (Continued from Page One) lished a telephone interview in which he said, "They know me in Pickens and they're real fine I people." In the months that followed his under fire last Oct. influential resignations 600-a-year Senate post, Baker had refused to answer the phone or return newsmen's calls. Although he is still under the shadow of a possible contempt citation for refusing to testify, Baker said he hopes now "to enjoy life a little better." MILLIONAIRE The committee is investigating whether Baker, who claimed a net worth of over $2 million last year, engaged in activities that conflicted with his official duties or involved other improprieties while he was on the Senate payroll at $19,600 a year. Baker said he had been "touched" by a letter he received from a Greek minister in Charlottesville, who "complimented me for the courage to stand by my convictions." Baker said he hopes now "to enjoy life a little better." And cutting off the interview, he said "I'm working every day and I've got to go now." Baker told the Charlotte News that if he does seek public office, it will be in South Carolina.

And Pickens apparently wants the 36-year-old attorney. Said W. Earle Findley, the mayor of Pickens: 'The people in Pickens would accept Bobby very much. He's a native and we certainly would be glad to have him back in Other county political leaders, among them Rep. Harold D.

Breazeale of Pickens and county Democratic chairman D. C. Garrett of Pickens said they thought Baker would be welcome and that the people of Pickens "will stick with him." Baker has business interests in Pickens, including the Carolina Pipeline Blue Ridge Development the Pickens Bank, and Greenville Memorial Gardens in nearby Greenville, MIGHT RETURN About a year ago, before the Senate investigation began, Baker said he might return to' Pickens at the age of 50 and establish a law practice. He left Pickens when he was 14 to become a Senate page. Subsequently, he said, the practice of law and the South Carolina governorship became long-range goals.

He said he had no idea now when he might return to Pickens on a permanent basis. "I haven't he said. "No one knows what I'm going to do in the future." He did say he expects to visit Pickens soon but that his law practice and "raising five children keep me busy." The committee will resume public hearings at 9 o'clock Monday morning with testimony from another former Senate page boy, Boyd Ritchie, and Walter J. (Joe) Stewart, chief telephone page for the Democratic senators. Ritchie has said that Baker persuaded him to give up $50 of his salary each month and send it to Stewart after Stewart was called for military training.

Stewart, now back on his Senate job at a salary of about 300 a year, has declined to talk to newsmen. TREE SCHOOL OPENS ITHACA, N. Y. (UPI) The 1964 school for Christmas tree growers opened Friday at Cornell University. FUNERAL INVITATIONS The relatives and friends of Mr.

The Funeral Directors. ence and announced he had been directed by Gov. Carl Sanders to intervene as a friend the court on Atlanta's side of the case because of the justice department action. Cook said the state would prepare a brief outlining its position in the case and would "do all possible" to cooperate with Atlanta. It was the first time the state and city had joined forces in a major battle of this kind.

"In Atlanta there is no present obstacle to acceleration (of school desegregation) and the Atlanta school board has enjoyed three, years of experience the Justice Department said in its brief on the matter. It was signed by Solicitor General Archibald Cox a and U. S. Assistant Attorney General Burke Marshall, who is in charge of the department's Civil Rights Division. The Justice Department said effective implementation of the Supreme Court's school decision "is a matter of continuing national concern." It said the Atlanta case is of "unusual significance in that it is the first to involve broadly the merits of a school desegregation The Atlanta school plan was approved by U.
