Segregation Ruling Expected Before Court Recess
Washington Chief Justice Warren said the Supreme Court will rule on how and when to end school segregation before the summer recess. He noted the court’s May 17 1954 ruling that racial segregation in public schools violates the Constitution and that May 31 is targeted for the final opinion, though adjournment dates may shift. Warren urged reducing district court backlogs and called for better pay for federal probation officers.
