AS School Segregation c ounseI

The present board never was
taken a stand on whether segre-
cation should or should not be
ended, or how fast. Nor has it
expressed any formal opinion on
its constitutionality.
Mr.. Sharpe, who was cited by
Mr.. Norman as the only present
board member who was in Office
at the time the segregation case
was begun in 1850, said he agrees
with the Districts stand that
segregation is compulsory. This
stand was presented to the court
last year-also without conSulta-
ton with the board.
The board president said he
does feel, however. that he and
his colleagues should have been
consulted on the present argu-
ment, which deals in part with
questions asked by the court on
the mechanics of carrying out
racial integration, if it should be
ordered.
Told About Brief.
Mr.. Sharpe said he was not
approached on the Districts
newest brief. except for tele-
phone call informing him it was
being printed. At that time, the
board president added, he told
Mr.. Norman he was willing to
abide by the latter's Judgment.

the brief, Mr.. Sharpe told re-

the court has power to declare

replied.
