South sees easing of worst race crisis in the South
Atlanta reports a hopeful shift as white and Negro leaders claim the South has passed its peak in the segregation struggle. Police Chief Laurie Pritchett of Albany cites compliance with the Civil Rights Act and rising biracial cooperation. Observers note voluntary desegregation in many districts and reduced demonstrations, with Mississippi seen as the main potential flashpoint.
