New Orleans Desegregation Faces Resurgent Pressure
In New Orleans and across 11 parishes, desegregation proceeds with about 1300 Black students at 54 formerly all-white Catholic and public schools attending without major incidents. Desegregation attendance rose to 15,775 by Oct 1 from 13,656 in Sept, while public schools report a net drop of 426 pupils. Opposition persists via private school growth and protest meetings led by segregation figures, including Leander Perez Sr. and excommunicated clergy, though open demonstrations have faded.

Church excommunication debate and New Orleans school vote
Mrs Gaillot has written letters to Archbishops Rummel Cody and Pope John XXXII demanding reasons for her excommunication. The election saw two moderates, Louis J. Riecke Sr. and Lloyd Rittiner, win a slim majority over opponents backed by the Citizens Council who accuse them of aiding federal desegregation. Superintendent Walker says desegregation proceeds as ordered, with three public school grades desegregated this year and plans to desegregate remaining grades under the court mandate.
