 order of May 1960, providing for a start of desegregation at

It is further apparent that the pupil assignment procedures used

are inadequate to eliminate segregation from the system generally, 

and that they merely effect a token desegregation, leaving the 

basic pattern of racial assignments unchanged. 

It is furthex submitted that should the Court determine 

that the defendants' present assignment practices are invalid as 

a permanent arrangement, that the Court should not approve them
