use their names in the titles Of
their organizations, such as the
Jewish welfare groups, the Polish
American groups and etc ="

MONDAY.
In series Of maneuvers, which
included taking over the school
board by force, and defiance Of the
orders Of Federal Judge ]. Skelly
Wright, the governor and the legis-
lature have inflamed the segrega-
ZIONIST lunatic fringe which would
rather see the citys schools closed
than admit Negro children to prev
iously white schools.
Another white group which b
not as vocal but more numerous
led by New Orleans Mayor della
Sepps Morrison accepted the
token Indignation Monday insti-
tuted by the school board rather
than see the city's schools closed.
Egged ON by the legislatures ac-
tons and the connivance Of the
governor, white students left the

Tuesday to roam the city shouting
segregationist slogans, and insults

girls who are the first to be in

1t Is understood that the De-
partment Of Justice has despatched
200 agents to the city to uphold
the Federal court rulings. The
ZONES of Negro families whose chill

city police and FBI protection.
White Citizens Councils have
organized mothers groups to pic
ket the schools and prevent white
children who would normally be in
the two schoolR Frantz and Nc
Donough elementary schools, from
entering the buildings.
The School Superintendent James
Redmond has countered with the
statement that students who alb
sent themselves from school win
be dealth with under the city's tru-
ancy law which can be used against
both students and their parents.
Almost every statement issued
by the legislature and the gov
ernOr seems TO be designed to
encourage defiance Of the court
and the New Orleans school
board.
A nationally known radio and
TV commentator said Monday
night that the political overtones
are In evidence. Gov. Davis was
opposed In the recent state cleo
tons by Mayor Morrison and are
political antagonists.
Davis won the state election by
campaigning in the heavily Pro-
testant rural areas claiming that
Morrison, a Catholic, was an in
tegrationist, cooperating in the
tearing down of white suprem-
acy," in the state.
Though Morrison denied the
Davis charge it was the race In

These were in Memphis, Atlanta,

voted for Nixon as a protest
against Southern Democratic re-
