Four Month Probe Into Segregated Schools Opens
Washington UPI The House Education and Labor Committee launches a four month investigation into federal funds supporting segregated schools. Chairman Adam Powell says preliminary evidence shows money going to noncompliant schools from grade school to college. A special subcommittee will report by May 17, the eighth anniversary of the high court desegregation ruling. Powell insists the move is overdue and not a jab at Kennedy civil rights gains. He cites bills to desegregate by 1963 and to cut federal aid to segregated institutions. Action may come too late for full Congress this year.
