Rights Bloc Plans Boston Court Fight
Civil rights groups vow a new assault on de facto segregation in Boston public schools. A suit against the Boston School Committee and the formation of PUSH to end the School Hoax were outlined at a Blue Hill Center meeting led by James Farmer of CORE. NAACP officials say the suit will be filed within 30 days, citing a Springfield precedent. Also noted, federal auditors say NASA could have saved 1.9 million by buying two Substations instead of leasing.

It cites South era patterns of discrimination in extension, FMHA, Soil Conservation, and ASCS programs, neglecting Negro farmers and restricting opportunity. It urges President Johnson to press Secretary Freeman to end discrimination and grant Negroes full access to policy and benefits.
