Washington AP reports an HEW official says a new policy does not weaken desegregation rules. Leon Panetta, head of the Civil Rights Office, states the 1969 70 target dates remain and districts cannot renegotiate plans. Misinterpretations of relaxing deadlines are rejected.
Civil rights leaders condemn the move to ease deadlines for desegregation while some southern lawmakers praise it and school officials express confusion. HEW Secretary Finch and Attorney General Mitchell say districts may gain time for bona fide educational and administrative delays, with 440 districts needing to progress or face funding risks. Panetta notes approved parts of a clarifying letter to districts, maintaining overall desegregation goals for 1969 70.
