Segregation In Schools Up Endangers U S Public Schools
Attorney General Brownell told the Supreme Court it has full authority to outlaw racial segregation in public schools. He warned that a ruling against segregation would trigger national consequences, require revising school laws in 17 states and the District of Columbia, and that final arguments begin December 7 with a decision possible before next summer. Rep. Gathings challenged the administration, arguing Congress holds legislative power over education and that federal intrusion into state schooling is improper. Thanksgiving Homecoming features guests of Mr. and Mrs. Louis A. Von Till Sr. from across the country, with a long guest list including Eileen Barry, Lewis Von Till, and others visiting near Frederick.
