Joined the board June % from

Samuel w. Shelton, who had

Ipreme Court to turn down the
appeal.
But the school board. in It's
petition for review, contended
that the trial court had erred
repeatedly in its handling of
the case.
School board attorneys said
the court was wrong in decid-
ing that the voters had author
lied a bond issue for segregated
schools, in holding that segre-
gated school operation now is
illegal, and in ruling that the
proceeds of the bond sale would
be used for purpose other than
