Madison Rayburn, an assistant Harris County attorney, argued that it is not the duty or respon sibility of Harris County to pro race the courthouse. In NAACP g alla a s v , e nine p depositions in officials of the N A federal court in connection with the organization’s legal battle to force immediate integration. of Dallas public schools. The . depositions are to become a part of the court record and trial of the case is set Nov. 14 with Federal Judge William Atwell presiding. Mrs. Earl Maughmer, Jr., James M. Delmar was a conservtitive holdover. Only liberals left on the board are Mrs. A. S. Vandervoort and Dr. W. W. Kemmerer, both of whom still have two years to serve. Since terms of those elected are for four years, barring unforeseen circumstances the conservatives are assured a majority until 1960. Federal officials told ‘reporters that the election of a conservative majority would probably lead to ourt action aimed at forcing integration. So long as liberals controlled the board some steps were being taken, toward eventual integration, but the conservatives are expected to stop all attempts to adjust the schools to the Supreme Court ruling. Those defeated, Board ,President Mrs. Olon Rogers and her running mates, E. Pliny Shaw, A. J. Tucker, and James B. Giles, had said that they considered the Supreme Court ruling on desegregation to be the “law of the land” and that Houston must take steps to comply. Conservatives pledged to work for continued segregation. for the “welfare of both races” and to block integration.
