Pool Integration Suit Dismissed in Texas
In Jefferson Texas a suit to require a court order allowing Negroes to use the Marshall swimming pool was dismissed by U S District Court Judge Lamar Cecil of Beaumont. The grounds cited were that the city sold the pool to private interests in October after a citywide vote approved the sale. Cecil noted the pool’s location inside a city park does not matter since the city no longer owns or controls it.
