instructed Attorney Chavis and Crowdus to seek court authority to compel the school officials to enroll the children in the grade school nearest their home under the provision of the 1949 School Law. The children meanwhile were kept at home, a circumstance which prompted school officials to retaliate by the issuance of a charge of truancy against the Boone children which is still pending although the children are attending the colored schools, the attorneys said. During the one day of trial last October attorneys Chavis and Crowdus produced witnesses including the principals of the invci/ed colored and white schools whose testimony tended to show that Schools 64 and 19. located on the Southside were all-Negro, although both were situated in districts in which the population was mixed. JUDGE BRENNAN continued the hearings before the school authorities had a chance to answer the charge of deliberately continuing i a pattern of segregation. Attorneys for the complainant raid they were prepared to show that the present plan of the school board to rebuild School 64 is in ; line with its policy of continuing | segregation in the Southside section despite Indiana law. They cited a number of instances in their petition to the high court I in which they had sought to have!
the trial continued but Judge Brennan refused to set a date, finally announcing he would not resume hearings until the U.S. Supreme Court had announced its eagerly awaited decision in pending cases involving school segregation in South Carolina, Virginia, Delaware. Kansas, and the District of Columbia. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People which presented the various cases as a mass test case before the Supreme Court, is hoping for a sweeping decision that will outlaw racial segregation in the public schools of America. Many Hoosiers are under the impression Indiana had already done so when its 1949 Antisegregation Law was enacted.
