U S Desegregation push faces Senate questions
Assistant Attorney General Jerris Leonard urged full enforcement of school desegregation, stating racially segregated classes and segregated accommodations are unlawful. Senators Mondale and Bayh criticized narrow enforcement and pressed for faster, quality integrated education in the South. Leonard insisted the department enforces current law and cannot set racial balance as a goal without new statutes.
