THURGOOD MARSHALL conrmveo “because he has always been away so much, their home life in the apartment in Harlem meant a lot to him. For months the doctor kept his wife’s illness a secret from Marshall. When he learn~ % it he was so shocked that he almost collapsed. The last six \_~ before she died he stayed with her continuously, rarely leaving the apartment and refusing to see his closest friends. After the funeral Marshall drove himself harder than ever. In spite of his occasional bragging and his flip manner, he is humble about his work. “I’m convinced someone else could do this job better,” he says. When Negro parents in Clarendon County, S.C. came up to him during the first school trial and thanked him pro- uselv for taking on their troubles, he seemed embarrassed and would only say, in private practice much more than the $15,000 he gets from N.A.A.C.P., but his friends would be surprised if he quit.

Our counsel is ready. willing and able.” The task of deciding whether or not the decision is being obeyed will } be in in the hands 0! of the federal district courts, tight where Charlie Houston and Thurgood Marshall always wanted it to be.” This means that w sherever there is continued segregation in schools Marshall and and the N-A.A.C.P. will be there to sue for redress. Some of these cases certainly will be appealed, and so will have to go on to the highest tribunal. As Thurgood Marshall left the Supreme. Court building last_week, he squared his shoulders and said, | “We're gonna be back.”* ee READY TO JUMP wherever next segregation case calls him, Marshall perches on table in New York office and goes over plans with N.A.A.C.P. experts.
