MOTION TO INTERVENE AS DEFENDANT
The City of New Orleans, Victor H. Sehiro, Mayor of the
City of Hew Orleans, and Joseph I. Glarrusso, Superintendent
of rolice, New Orleans Police Department, move the Court for
an order pernitting them to intervene as a defendant in this
action, in order to assert the defenses set forth in thelr
proposed answer, a copy of whlch is attached, and for a motion
for a new trial, a copy of which is attached, for the following
reasons:
I.
The City of New Orleans, Victor H., Sechiro, Hayor of the
City of New Orleans, and, Joseph I. Glarrusso,; Superintendent
of Police, New Orleans Police Department, have formerly filed in
this matter an opposition to their being made a party defendant
as they were and are not empowered by law $0 give the complainants
and the intervenors the further relief and/or other injunctive
relief sought by the complainants and the intervenors from this
court.
2
That the opposition of your movers to being made a party
defendant by the complainants and intervenors was maintained by
this Court.
Je
That while any order of this Court for further relief
concerning the de-segregation of the publie schools of the
Parish of Orleans, would not directly bind your movers,
such an owder would do so indirectly and have a profund
affect on your movers.
4,
That such further relief as to the de-segreation of the
public school system would require extensive prepartion by the
City of New Orleans, particularly as to the poliging of the
public schools involved.
De
That such policing would require that the New Orleans Police
Department place its personnel on an additional hourly work week
basis, necessatating additional overwork time than the usual
work week hous of its personnel and thus require additional
outlays of monies.
6,
That your movers interest in the matter, particularly as
to the plans to be prepared by your movers and the costs of these
plans, required by any further de-segregation of the publle
school systeam of Hew Orleans, are facts which are familiar to
your movers, bub which nay not be otherwise presented to the Court
without this intervention.

according to the principle set out in BROWN of admitting pupils
to the public schools "on a racially non-diseriminatory basis with
all deliberate speed".
| III
That the order of this court dated May 16, 1960, is more in
line with the eircumstances existing in the City of New Orleans
than is the amending order which this court issued on April 3, 1962,
and that the original order of this court dated May 16, 1960, con-
forms elosely to similar orders entered by United States Distriet
Courts in the Fifth Circult concerning the desegregation of the
publie schools in conformity with the formula set out in BROWN.
Iv
That the judgment is eontrary to law in that 1t seeks to
compel the Orleans Parish School Board to comply with the order of
the court in BROWN to proceed to desegregate with due deliberate
speed in changing from a segregated to a desegregated publlie school
system and at the same time to comply with She principle of PLESSY
ve, FERGUSON to maintain a system of separate but equal facilities
until desegregation is accomplished.
