Parents Told To Keep Children Home In Louisiana Integration Tension
Louisiana lawmakers urged white parents to keep children from two integrated New Orleans schools amid a power struggle with the federal government. A proposed impeachment of federal judge J. Skelly Wright, who ordered the integration, was discussed as a 12 day special session adjourned in Baton Rouge. A 30 day session was set by Gov. Jimmie Davis after a 1ary closed session. Both houses approved a resolution urging attendance by Louisiana’s congressional delegation to halt federal intervention. About 10,000 white pupils stayed away from city schools on Tuesday amid rowdy demonstrations and 11 arrests.
