Segregationists contest tax hike after defeats
In Baton Rouge and New Orleans, segregationist leaders waver over pressing for a new House vote on a 28 million sales tax hike to aid segregated schools after defeats in both the Legislature and federal courts. The 2 to 3 percent statewide levy for eight months in 1961 won 65 votes to six, short of two thirds. Gov Jimmie H. Davis backed the measure to fund aid for private schools. A three judge federal panel cited Lt Gov C C Aycock and two state officials for contempt, ordering banks to honor checks for the Orleans Parish School Board as Aycock, House Speaker Thomas Jewell and State Education Supt Shelby M Jackson were cited for withholding salaries. Fairfield Brice Haney, 25, died from a brain concussion after falling from a pickup bumper while it pushed a stalled car. Eugene Hoage was driving the truck, his mother’s car was being moved, and Haney stood on the bumper to watch.
