peals here approved a stairstep
plan of integration for public
schools at Dallas, Tex.

grade each year until all IL
grades have been desegregated.

Samuel I. Rosenberg. to appeal
the decision to the United
States Supreme Court.
The school board wants a
final affirmation of the decision

remainder Of the term. The
loan would be repaid with State
school revenues which the
