Alabama Judge Opposes Busing for Desegregation
Federal District Judge Frank M. Johnson Jr., in Montgomery, says busing to achieve racial balance is not authorized by the 14th Amendment. He notes many Alabama schools already desegregated without massive busing and that neighborhood concepts drive school assignments. He emphasizes his rulings stem from constitution and Brown, not politics, and cites long-standing practices before Wallace or national figures voiced concern.
