Wallace Defies Guidelines in School Integration Fight
Wallace denounces federal guidelines as illegal and voids any compliance pacts by city and county boards. He proposes state funds to reimburse local boards for lost federal money, and seeks to shield boards from federal Office of Education oversight by transferring authority to the governor and legislature. A special commission would enforce the law, with power to urge all means to preserve schools when threatened.

Ancient law on restitution for damaged property
Provisions state that a person who starts a fire causing damage must repay all losses. If one entrusts money or goods to another and they are stolen, the thief must repay double. If theft is unsolved, judges determine if property was mishandled and, if found guilty, double restitution applies. Borrowed items damaged in the borrower’s absence must be restored to the owner.
