To facilitate the hearing and the disposition of 

this appez.. ithe District Court is requested, after such 

evidentiary hearings as may be necessary, to make supplemental 

act respecting the general issue of busing and 

the effect of its order with respect 1O the number of pupils 

transported, the number of buses required, thelr availability. 

and the additional capital and operating costs of transporta- 

rict Court is requeste ed, if possible, to 

file a supplemental order Or memorandum, including such 

findings of fact, by March 20, 1970. | 

This appeal 1s accelerated. The hearing of the 

appeal will be scheduled in the Court OL Appeals in Ric hmond, 

virginia, on April 9, 1976, and the att orneys for all 

parties are directed to file their briefs in the office of 

iy 

the Clerk of the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit 

not later than Tuesdav, April 7, 1970. 

gince it appears that the appeal cannot be heard 

and determined prior | to April 1, /1970, the date for imple- 

| 
/ 

mentation of the first phase of the order of the District 

court, and since the court of Appeals 1s presently unable 

- 

to appraise, in the absence OX +he requested additional 

findings of fact, the impact of the busing requirements, 

IT IS NOW ORDERED +hat the order of the District 

court dated February 5. 1970 be, and it hereby is, stayed
