Segregation and Occupational Tax Bills Expected in Alabama Legislature
Montgomery Alabama lawmakers prepare for a 1957 session kickoff with two major topics on the docket. Rep Charles W McKay Jr pushes a segregation bill banning interracial participation in sports and public facilities while Rep A K Callahan proposes two occupational license tax amendments statewide. McKay seeks to extend interposition against Supreme Court school orders, and Callahan vows a retroactive fix to negate Montgomery s 1 income tax. Senate and House committees hold brief sessions awaiting formal hearings and next meetings.
