Atlanta Desegregation Effort Seen Reversing, Court Says
A federal Atlanta ruling found that housing patterns have reversed desegregation gains, declaring wholesale busing unworkable and warning Atlanta could become all black. Judges Smith and Henderson cited shifting neighborhoods, declining white enrollment, and the unchanged housing barrier as the core obstacles. The decision, appealed by the NAACP, challenges federal and state efforts to push broader integration.

PSU Report Says Pa Won’t Solve Slump For Long Time
Penn State analysts say Pennsylvania begins the second half of 1971 in economic doldrums and unlikely to improve soon. June unemployment and initial claims hit seven year highs, with 29 000 out of work.
