Plans to revive States Rights Party in Louisiana move
Baton Rouge, La June 1 New steps to revive the dormant States Rights party were announced by Louisiana Democratic leader District Attorney Leander Perez citing Supreme Court rulings on tidelands and segregation as the push. A meeting to reorganize is planned after the legislative session ends, likely at Jackson Mass, the party birthplace of earlier dissident efforts against Truman. Perez helped push a resolution challenging the court's school desegregation ruling as part of this revival. Conservative southern leaders previously active in the States Rights movement were noted across several states.
