Parents Attempt To Overrule New Orleans Integration Rule By The Associated Press NEW ORLEANS—Angry white parents boycotted two integrated public schools Monday, condemning four Negro first graders to virtual segregation once again. “You’ve got the whole school to yourself now,” yelled a woman as three of the 6-year-old pioneers in Deep South school integration en tered McDonogh No. 19 school. Seven U. S. marshals ushered the trio into McDonogh and three others accompanied the Negro girl who went into William Frantz School. Hooting and jeering spectators numbered about 100 at McDonogh but only about 15 women were at William Frantz, the quietest school opening since integration began two weeks ago. A week’s holiday for the city’s 93,000 public school pupils wa tered down the heat of those who demonstrated violently week before Sast. Truancy and absence in the rest Of thei citys white schools dropped to nearly normal for a Monday. There was a 99.9 per cent boycott of William Frantz and McDonogh No. 19. Police cut down the number of men assigned to the two schools, but none counted the school crisis over. At McDonogh, a building nor mally bustling with 467 pupils, three Negro girls sat in their first-grade room with their white teacher. At William Frantz, where 571 pupils normally jostle and chatter, one Negro first-grade girl sat alone with her teacher. In Kinder garten, a white girl sat. In a high er grade, a second white girl stud ied. There were no more white pupils there. It was almost as if everyone were marking time—perhaps wait ing for a three-judge federal court to rule on motions to temporarily halt integration, and to abandon integration plans.
