Written Brief
Filed in Durham
County Case
Court efforts to descgrcRale lo
cal schools stretched to the couii
ty this week when attorneys for
some 61 Negro students filed s
brief supporting the students' nio
tion for preliminary injunction in
the case prohibiting immediate
segregation of the raccs in the
county system.
The document was filed in tne
clerk's office of the United Stati's
District Court early this week and
came two weeks after parents oi
the students entered the original
cnmplainl against the Durliam
County Board of Education.
The brief filed this week con
tends that “certain policies” oi
the Durham County Board of Edu
cation discriminate ag.iinst Ne
groes “by the direct or indirect
consideration of race In the as
tignment and reassignment of pu
pils and faculty to the public
schools of Durham County.” -
It is asserted in the brief tha'
the plaintiffs have made “reason
able efforts to commuQicate with
the defendants their dissatisfac
tion with the present racial segra
gation in the public schools of
Durham County. They have 'not
sought to utilize the provisions of
the North Carolina Pupil Assign
ment law inasmuch as this would be
useless because of the defendants’
policy of maintaining segregatnl
schools.”
Attorneys said that the _reason
the parents are requesting a pro
limlnary injunction in the case
is tliat it la likely the matt^c^muid
be tried and ruled upon prior lo

This is.cne of the findings of
the first psychiatric study_of th
effects of desegregation on parti
cipating Negro and white student'
in the South.
The study, which has been in
prijcess years, 'was con
ducted bjKDr. Robert Coles, a psy
chiatrist of Atlanta, Ga. A sum
mary report, titled Tlie DescRre
gation of Southern Schools: A Psy
chlatricr Study, was published today
by the Southern Regional Council
and the Anti-Defamation League
of B'nai B’rith.
The study deals primarily with
six and seven year old elementary
school students in New Orleans
and If! and 17 year old high scnoul
students in Atlanta. Supplemen
tary evaluation were also made ir
desegregated schools in Charlotte
Asheville, and Burnsville, North
