Three Of Louisiana's anti
deSeereg CATION laws, written short
" after the high courts decisions,
havet been declared unconStitu-
tional in the courts. One was a
constitutional amendment de-
signed to continue segregation
under the States police powers.
Another was a pupil-assignment
plan that provided no criteria for
assignments. The third was a law
requiring all applicants to State
colleges to present certificates of
good character signed by their
high school principals and district
school superintendents. cat the
same time, provision was made for
firing any school employee who
performs ANY act" promoting
integration in public schools or
State colleges.)
The State has suspended its
compulsory school attendance law,
and the legislature has adopted
an interposition resolution. School
employees who advocate integra-
ton may be fired. Another law
requires white and Negro students
to be taught only by teachers of
their own race. Other laws are
designed to make it impossible
to bring segregation suits against
the State school or park systems.
The State also requires segre-
gated waiting rooms for intra-
ssate passengers on public car
riers. In 1856. interracial athletic
events were outlawed.

amended to permit the legiSla-

all members of the State educa-

motive here was to give to anyone
who might ever be a defendant
in an indignation case immuniza-
ton against lawsuits by putting
them in the same classification
as State judges.
In a package of constitutional
amendments, the legislature was
given authority to close, deny

Still Apart

There has been nothing, how
ever, in the exchange of mes
Sages to indicate any major
softening OF either sides position.
The Soviet notes still insisted
that talks must be held on the
basis of the status quo in Europe,
which means that the division
of Germany and the Communist
rule of the nations of Eastern
and Central Europe must be &C
copied by the West. In addition,
the Soviet proposals that Ameri-
can overseas bases be abandoned.
that troops be withdrawn from
Europe. and that an outright ban
be effected on nuclear weapons
have not been modified.
And on the American side. Mr..
Dulles is continuing to insist
that Germany be reunited on the
basis of free elections and that
the peoples of the satellite ma
tons be allowed to choose their
own form of government. Obvi-
ously, the conditions of each side
is unacceptable to the other. But
dip ON a is are undiScouraged.
Russia's Mr.. Khrushchev has
called for small things first" in
his first the appetizer. then the
soup, then the main course" re-
marks a few weeks ago. Now Mr..
Eisenhower takes much the same
view. at least by implication.
Out of the cautious commune
cations between the Soviet Union
and the West a clearer picture is
beginning to take shape. Its out
lines now seem to suggest that

Of any school where Federal troops
are used in an attempt to enforce
desegregation.
Florida school officials have
been authorized TO ignore teach-s
ers' contracts that are in effect,
regardless of the individual teach
er's qualifications. This permits
the dropping of Negro teachers.

provided emergency authority to
put down violence, authorizes the
