University’s New Trial Motion Not Likely To Prevent Negroes From Registering This Fall
A motion for a new trial in a case about denying Negroes admission to the University of Alabama to register this fall appears unlikely to stop enforcement. Judge Hobart Grooms last May issued an injunction barring denial of admittance based on race, with two Birmingham Negro women as plaintiffs. If denied, the ruling could be appealed to the Fifth Circuit, possibly hearing in Montgomery. The legislature meanwhile passed a school placement bill to maintain segregation, giving local boards authority to limit where pupils may attend white schools.
