LDF MOVES TO HEAD OFF 

GOVERNMENT DELAY IN 

GEORGIA SCHOOL 

INTEGRATION 

ATLANTA, GEORGIA--Fearing that 360,000 black students in Georgia 

schools will not be, “adequately represented," by the U.S. Depart- 

ment of Justice, LDF attorneys intervened in U.S. District Court 
here in their behalf. 

Negro, "views will remain unheard in the event the United 

States determines to allow such delay," as was recently granted 

in Mississippi, attorneys of the NAACP Legal Defense and Education- 
al Fund, Inc. (LDF) assert. 

The motion to intervene was filed Tuesday, September 2. 

The LDF and Georgia Negroes, “oppose the granting of any 

further delays in implementing unitary school systems in Georgia," 
the court was told. 

, 
At present, the case consists of the United States of America, 

as plaintiff, versus the State of Georgia, the Georgia State 

Board of Education, and State Superintendent of Schools. 

The LDF argues that neither it nor Georgia Negroes have any 

present control, “in law or in fact, over the course of the 

litigation except insofar as the Attorney General or his represen- 

tatives choose to hear...." 

LDF cooperating attorneys Peter E. Rindskopf and Howard 

Moore, Jr., of 8594 Hunter Street, N.W., Atlanta, filed the LDF 
motion. 

They are backed up by LDF staff attorney Norman Chachkin in 
LDF New York City headquarters.

NOTE: Please bear in mind that the LDF is a completely separate 

and distinct organization even though we were established by the 

NAACP and those initials are retained in our name. Our correct 

designation is NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc., 
frequently shortened to LDF.
