CONCLUSION

W herefore, for the foregoing reasons it is respectfully 
submitted that the judgment of the United States Court 
of Appeals should be reversed. The case should be re­
manded to the distiict court with instructions to conduct 
immediately a hearing on whether some other method of 
pupil assignment would, consistently with sound educa­
tional principles, sooner disestablish the dual system. If 
such be the case that court should order that the speedier 
method be employed by defendants.
