Court Rebuffs Mix Attempt At Barksdale
Washington UPI The Supreme Court for the second time rebuffed a government contention that acceptance of federal education grants in impacted areas makes desegregation mandatory. The case involves Bossier Parish Louisiana where the school board has received over 3 million dollars in construction and improvement funds since 1950. Children of federal workers from Barksdale Air Force Base and Bossier Base attend classes. The court let stand a 1964 Fifth Circuit ruling that the remedy was withholding future funds. The department has since filed a Civil Rights Act suit on behalf of all Negro students in the parish, the first use of the act to end school segregation.
