    Statement by James M. Nabrit, III, Associate Counsel 
NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. 
January 14, 1970 

We understand today's Supreme Court opinion to mean that it 
is no longer proper to wait until next September to carry out 
desegregation and school districts must act during this school 
year to effect integration. 

The LDF will take prompt action in the lower courts to 
insure that the Supreme Court's mandate is carried out in our 
eleven school districts involved XHXYMXNAa in today's order 
and will take similar action in a large number of our 217 
school cases in the South.
