Survivors include her husband, three sons, Willie Farley of Yorktown, John Farley of Modesto, Howard Farley of Dyess; two daughters, Mrs. W.

Farley ATLANTA UP The telephone rang far into the night after Gov Herman Talmadge commented on the U. S. Supreme Court decision striking down public school segregation. He had said that Georgia people "cannot and will not accept a bald political decree which overturns their accepted pattern life." Many hecklers telephoned from distant places. eWarily, Talmadge finally turned over the phone answering to his wife: those Yankees the governor isn't here.

Tell them he's busy reviewing troops." REACTION (Cor.tinued from Page 1) to decide, not the federal government. Though some others expressed the opinion that this is just another case of the North trying to force something on the South. One person held the view that some educators have expressed. That is that the Negro teaching profession would be hurt if the ruling is put into effect all over the South. Most of those who were opposed to a single school system m8- intained that the state of Arkansas should do all possible, within the law, to block enforcement of the court ruling.

A few felt that the result of the of decision private will be widespread growth eventually public schools will be used almost entirely by Negroes only. Only one person forsaw much posibility of major trouble developing. One interesting note is found in the attitude of five high school students questioned on the matter. all five said they had no objections to going to school with negroes. While this small sampling of views cannot be considered too accurately, the fact that they were unanimous in their opinions indicates that probably there would be little opposition among students to a single school system.

Two teachers questioned also had no objection to teaching Negroes. One man who declined use of his name, fairly well expressed what appears to be the closest thing to the general opinion held in Blytheville as the limited survey conducted could reveal. Said he: "If it's rushed into, there will be private schools. had to come sometime, but it's too early to do it now.

The committee resumes closeddoor deliberations today on President Eisenhower's housing program and on proposals to strengthen the present law against any more housing abuses such as those uncovered last month just before a shakeup in the top echelon of the Federal Housing Administration. Referring to the home repair situation, Capehart said: "We will continue this program but not without giving lending institutions full responsibility for seeing that their loans are used for legitimate home repairs." At present, private lenders are assured of full government ment without any obligation to try to collect on defaulted loans. Capehart told newsmen he expects the committee to adopt a new provision which would make banks and other private lenders shoulder part of the risk of making home repair loans. INDOCHINA (Continued from Page 1) Asis are progressing nicely. French Premier Joseph Laniel has been conferring with U.

S. Ambassador C. Douglas Dillon in Paris. Laniel is expected to present 8 concrete proposition for American intervention in Indochina as a basis for further consideration by American leaders. The wrangle over withdrawal of troops from Laos and Cambodia delayed detailed discussions on the other major French demand, withdrawal of all troops in Viet Nam to zones to be agreed on at Geneve.

Wants Separate Consideration Bidault insists that Laos and Cambodia must be considered separately. He contends a civil war exists in Viet Nam, but that the other two Indochina states have been invaded by the Communistled Vietminh. Informed quarters said the Communists rejected Bidauit's demand that the "invaders" be withdrawn. They were reported to have countered with their earlier proposals that the Communist "governments" of Laos and Cambodia be consulted on any settlement. The Western Powers already have taken a firm stand against consulting with these "resistance" regimes, which they say are only roving gangs.

Meanwhile, it was disclosed that the French have dropped their objections to negotiating directly with Vietminh representatives here on evacuating French Union wounded from captured Dien Bien Phu and have named a mission for this purpose.

Officials of the Foreign Operations Administration, giving economic aid to the Vietnamese, said their jeeps, station wagons and ambulances are "being fired at all the time" by the Communist-led rebels.

Two Jeeps were destroyed this week, one blown up by a Vietminh mine, the other by fire from Vietminh ambushers.

McCarthy contended this testimony by Adams raised a question A8 to whether administration higher-ups authority away from Secretary Stevens after the Jan. 21 meeting.

Eisenhower wAs asked for comment ou McCarthy's contention. He replied he thought Stevens would take care of that question completely. Then Eisenhower was asked If administration -ups did take authority from Stevens at the Jan. 21 meeting. His reply: Nothing that was brought the meeting could intimate such thing.

Didn't Remember The President was asked also if he was aware the Jan. 21 conference was being held. He said he could not go into that--and, in fact, that he didn't exactly remember. Eisenhower's order forbade Army Counselor John G. Adams, who was on the witness stand at that time.
