With an estimated . 767 school districts in twelve states opening with some degree of iategratioiT, it is the first time sime the 1964 Supreme Court decision outlawing segregation in public education that the southern Khoois opened without a single reported iacl^DBt »f violence. a It is reported ^at fourtefn new districts In seven so«fth*m states enrolled ^^ro childrpn in white elementary schools fer the first tlnM. This -does net include Hpuston, Texas which has the largest segregated school system in the cwmtry, and where several Negro children were en rolled for the first time. All districts remained segregat ed in Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and Sotith Carolina. Thurgood Marshall, Pirector- Counsel of the IJf. A- A. C. P. Le- gal Defense aqd Eklticational Fupd, pointed out that tl)e highlight of this year’s legal victories in thy organization’s cootf^ued offorts to speed up school di^segregatlon was reflected in the refusal of. the Supreme Court two weeks agp to grant delays requested in three separate cases to authorities in New Orleans, Ifouston and Dela ware. COURT REFUSAL VITAL Marshall stated; “The refusal of the Supreme Court to grant the request is sign ificant because it iridieates that a point, arrived at which litigating must stop and bona fide' desegre gation must commence. The law is clear that the courts will, not ountenance litigation merely for the- sake of delay.” HOUSTON RULING The ruling in the Houston case is of particular significance.^ Mr. Marshall explained. Until the; timi? of the decision Houston Wm the largest segregated district ^ the u a "sham” and palpable fraud”, rullqg that where school boards do not present plans courts will in- -stitute desegr^tioa tlieir own and demand'compliance with the Constitution. The New Orleans case cante be fore the Supreme Court as a re sult of an order by a United States District Court to put into effect a year-by-year stair-step in tegration plan in September, starting wfUi the first grade. The school authorities appealed the or- derw, but a United States Appeals Court refused to interfere. Upon request, the District Court gave the school board until November 14 to effecutuate the plan. La. ASKS POSTPONEMENT Thp state Attorney General then asked the United States Supreme Court permission to put off inte gration. Legal Defense attorneys for the Negro children > also peti tioned the Supreme Court. They asked that the November stay or der be vacated and that integra- 'tion begin immediately. The Court refused to postpone desegregation beyond the November 14 date se( by the District Court. In Delaware the Court of Ap peals reversed a District Court rul ,ing which gave all school districts south of Wilmington twelve years to desegregate and demanded that complete desegre gation. be In effect by 1961. The Court also ordered that the named plaintiffs in the case be admitted immediately. The State Board ask ed the United States Supreme Court for a postponement of these orders, which was denied. BUSIEST SUMMER Marshall revealed that this past summer was the busiest Le gal Defense Fund attorneys ever experienced. Forty school cases alone were filed in thirteen states and the Supreme Court. Many briefs were written and filed in defense of students arrested in the sit-in demonstrations and other segregation cases. He said a separ ate report will soon be made on the liit-in protest cases. country.
