Move to Upset Order in Lucy Case Rejected
The Supreme Court rejected a bid by the University of Alabama to upset a lower court order forcing admission of Autherine Lucy, a Negro coed, amid the Tuscaloosa controversy. The action clarifies federal schools must admit qualified Black students without delay, while broader effects on her plans for re admission remain unclear. The court also declined to reconsider sedition jurisdiction, denied Anastasia naturalization reversal, denied farmers’ wheat measures halt, and sped up proceedings against the Communist control case.

Sidney Hatkin, 40, will return in a non sensitive statistical analyst post after a 14 month security case.
