the University of Alabama wants
the courts to order school ON
Gals to return her to the classes
from which she was expelled.
An attorney for Autherine
Lucy yesterday asked Judge H.
Hobart Grooms Of Federal Dis
Itrict Court at Birmingham, Ala,
ito override her expulsion Febru-
airy 20 by the university's board
Iof trustees.
Judge Grooms said a hearing
date would be set later.
The 26-year-old former school
teacher was expelled only a few
hours after Judge Grooms had
ordered her re-admitted to the
university as a student by March
Is. At the time of this order.
Miss Lucy was under suspension
for her own safety and the
safety of others" after three days
of rioting on the campus. She
had entered the university
February /.
Texas Shift Possible
Whether Miss buoy actually
will seek to return too>the uni
lversity, however, was becieuded
by a television interview in New
York last night. Miss Lucy said
in the interview that she may
live in Texas after her marriage
to a divinity student and that the
University of Texas would be IAN
appropriate place" to continue
her studies.
She said no date had been set
for her marriage to Hugh L.
Foster, but that they probably
would live at Powell. Tex.
Her interviewer asked if she
thought she could enter the Uni
versity of Texas without Great
ing a STIR" and the former Ala
bama coed replied Il would hope
so"
Lists Many Invitations
She said at an earlier press
conference that she had received
offers of scholarships from 10
colleges in the United States and
five from abroad. Encourage
ment came last night from the
University of Texas when the
student assembly adopted res
Iolution welcoming" Negroes to
the school.
The resolution came soon after
officials at the university an
nounced that housing owned
and operated by the school will
continue on a segregated basis.
| Miss Lucy was expelled from
the University of Alabama on
the grounds that she made I'M
proved charges against univer-
sity officials.
Her move to have her expul-
sion set aside by Federal court
order came on a day marked by
numerous other developments on
the South's far-flung battlefront
against indignation.
Mississippi Breakdown Due
In Mississippi, another bulwark
against indignation. moves were
suggested that would cripple the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People.
The potential weapons are
three bills awaiting action by the
State Legislature. No date has
been set for a vote, but political
observers expect the bills to come
Iup within the next two weeks.
The bills would:
/. Establish a subversive &C
tivities control commission COM
posed of the Governor, attorney
general and secretary of state to
declare persons and organiza-
lions subversive.
2. Declare subversive those
persons and organizations seek
ing to change Mississippi's laws
| by "force, violence, intimidation
or oppression"
8. Require the NAACP to pub
lish it's membership and con-
tribution' lists or pay State in
come taxes.
Under the bills. subversives
would be forbidden to run for or
hold public Office or hold State,
county. municipal or district job.
Among those who would be hit
are Negro teachers, Gov. J. p.
Coleman recently signed into law
a bill requiring prospective teach
ers to list all organizations to
which they belonged during the
past five years as a prerequisite
of employment.
