Desegregation Motion Slowed in Eight Louisiana Parishes
U.S. District Judge E Gordon West ordered a continuance of desegregation motions until November 4 in eight Louisiana parishes. The NAACP and the Justice Department urged speedups to the freedom of choice plan, while West emphasized the delay was not intended to stall action but to see if the plan can work. He questioned his authority to alter orders from the Fifth Circuit and the impact of recent Supreme Court decisions.
