Three Catholics Pledge To Push Race Fight
NEW ORLEANS. Three Roman Catholics excommunicated for opposing their archbishop's desegregation order vowed to continue their race battle.

Perez, a 71-year-old attorney and segregation spokesman, called the action a move to frighten parents of parochial school children. Ricau, executive secretary of the South Louisiana Citizens Council, called it an incredible injustice.
