LDF attorneys today announced plans to file motions for 

further relief in 15 Georgia school cases in an effort to 

speed school integration. The attorneys acted after gaining 

a victory in the case of Anson Graves v. the Walton Count 

Board of Education. The U.S. District Court in Macon ruled 

late yesterday that attendance area lines should be used in 
m rather F A ? assigning students EHX than freedom of choice. This is the 

first such ruling in the state of Georgia.
