Alabama Buses Roll On Holiday Schedule After One Incident
In Montgomery white and Negro passengers adjust to desegregated seating on a cartailed holiday schedule.

The attack followed a car warning to stop riding buses, marking the most serious racial disturbance since a federal order banning segregation took effect. A white bus passenger witnessed part of the assault. In Birmingham, a pro integration Negro group plans a quick challenge to the city’s segregation laws after a City Commission meeting.
