Moreover, the Utah...

This same Legislature last fall appointed a recess committee on education to spend the summer seeking legal means for evading the court decision before actual implementation of the decision is ordered. Other Southern legislative groups have appointed similar bodies to explore methods of legally putting off what the court clearly intended as its ultimate purpose. Intelligent men are working on these plans and it is unrealistic to believe that...
