NEW ORLEANS (UPI) A Federal court knocked the props from under the state's segregation fight Wednesday, but shrieking housewives menaced a minister and a meter reader's wife who won't take their white daughters out of an inte grated school. A three -judge Federal Court struck away one of the last legal hopes of segre gationalists after two ele mentary schools opened on an integrated basis for the eighth day. It ruled unconstitutional the theory of interposition which means a state need not neces sarily obey the Supreme Court and threw out 17 state segre gation laws and five resolutions. Denies Motion It also denied a school board motion to end integration and enjoined practically every offi cial in Louisiana from interfer ing with integration. Word of the ruling only served to further infuriate "the cheer-leaders," as police call the nucleus of about 40 women who are trying to enforce a white student boycott at the two ele mentary schools.
