Judge's ruling opens door to halting desegregation efforts
In New Orleans U S District Judge Frank B Filis Jr ruled Tulane a private university and not bound to admit Negroes. Attorney John P Nelson argued the decision could enable subtler forms of racial discrimination in higher education and vowed an appeal to the 5th Circuit. Tulane says it would admit Black students if legally permissible.
