ATTORNEYS GATHER TO DISCUSS BUS SEGREGATION LAWS
WASHINGTON (AP) - thirty-three U. S. District attorneys from 14 Southern and border states assemble here today to discuss what they should do about laws in those states requiring racial segregation on buses.
Atty. Gen. Brownell called the conference Nov. 19, a few days after the Supreme Court struck down as a violation of the 14th Amendment such segregation laws in the state of Alabama and the city of Montgomery.
Brownell said today's conference would consider and decide "upon measures most appropriate to secure observance of the Constitution and laws by carriers and all others who may hereafter require segregation of white and colored passengers on common carriers.
