Catholic Group Moves To Bar Integration
In New Orleans a Catholic lawmakers group pressed plans to block integration of Louisiana Catholic schools despite Arch bishop Joseph Rummel's pastoral letter condemning segregation as morally wrong. The six page letter was read across 120 archdiocese churches and signals intent to end segregation in church and school facilities after a pending committee study. The archbishop gave no date though officials have cited a target of sometime after September 1956. Rep E W Gravelet Jr of Plaquemines Parish said the letter would have no effect on his group.
