Brewer appeals after desegregation ruling blocks hearings

Governor Albert Brewer criticized a federal court for denying Alabama officials a hearing on a new desegregation order. He asked the three judge panel to reconsider, challenging the move that threatened to bar 19 school systems from using freedom of choice without showing cause. Brewer and State School Superintendent Ernest Stone had sought modification of the Aug. 28 decree that linked faculty desegregation to school closures. The ruling came without a hearing, and Brewer vowed to pursue every constitutional right in court.
