INTEGRATION IN SCHOOLS
Louisiana Laws Over-ruled (NJt. Press Association—copyright) NEW ORLEANS, November 30. Federal judges today smashed Louisiana’s legal blocks to school integration, but screaming, running housewives kept up their stubborn blockade. The crowds around two Integrated New Orleans public schools grew. Tension mounted as police escorted one mother and her child into one of them, the William Frantz School. The boycott of the integrated schools, tightened, leaving the four six-year-old negro girls virtually in segregation for the third day this week. Only two white girls attended William Frantz, and none attended McDonogh the other integrated school. Under this public tension, a panel of three Federal judges in New Orleans stood firm, ordering integration to proceed as decreed by United States District Court. In so doing, the judges smashed the barrier of "interposition”— the legal device under which a State places its sovereignty between the Federal Government and the people. This morning a police squad accompanied Mrs James Gabrielle and her daughter to the William Frantz School The child entered the building and the mother left, still under police guard.
