15 and respect the Court - - far from true and judicial supremacy has been cherished and en- couraged by our greatest statesmen -- Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln and FDR all took it on. Phillips says Congress should deprive the Sup. Court of note appellate review of legislation and "end the current tyranny of the unelected Federal tribunals. " DESEGREGATION All nets noted that an HEW survey shows the number and percentage of blacks attending all- Negro schools in the south has for the first time fallen below northern schools. In 11 southern states, 9. 2% are enrolled in all-black schools, compared to 11. 2% in 32 northern and western states and 24. 2% in border states HEW's Richardson says Admin. has a "documented record of solid performance" in fulfillment of legal and educational mandate. Chancellor said that some believe the report was released to offset criticism of Admin. policy. He noted that HEW's Pottinger spoke on the difficulty of desegregating Northern schools. On film Pottinger explained difficulties of de facto segregation but added that Admin is not shrinking under the difficulty but rather is devoting more $ and effort to resolve the problem. But ABC presented a different portion of the Pottinger news conference. Geer over film of Pottinger said that since some felt the Admin did not approve of the Richmond consolidation the reporters asked him about it. He gave no comment at first but then said that while consolidation is not the only method available it is perhaps the best. Also it would be a mistake to think that because of consolidation all other methods of desegregation will be dropped. Pottinger explained that these were personal reactions and not necessarily policy statements. Geer said Pottinger is the first Admin figure to comment, but if he was speak- ing only for himself perhaps something else will be forthcoming Wires quote Pottinger as
