The Council said it was sending a resolution to the county school board inquiring what, plan of action has been formulated to carry out the U. S. Supreme Court's decree banning segregated schools.

The resolution pledged its backing to any move the county school authorities may take to carry out the supreme court's directive. County School Supt. Amos Godby said he hadnt seen a copy of the resolution, but that "when it is received it will be reviewed, studied and submit ted to the school board." A messenger from the Negro I organization delivered copies of the resolution to Tallahassee representatives of national news I services before it was given to I school authorities. No copy was sent to The Tallahassee Democrat. The Leon county school board has set up a' bi-racial advisory committee to study the Supreme Court's desegragation decree, but thus far has made no public report of its findings.

It has held no meetings recently. The Council's resolution said that Leon county's public schools for Negroes were "tangibly and intagibly unequal and inferior in every respect to those furnished for white children." And it said that "no perceptible progress toward compliance with the mandates" has been noted. The Leon county schools, like those of other counties in th. state, are operating under provision of the Florida's 1956 pupil assignment law. The law, enacted as a move to slow down integration by legal means, provides for assignment of pupils to schools for which they are best fitted.

No legal challenge of this 1958 law has been started in this county, but a suit is pending in Palm Beach county. The Inter Civic Council started its bus integration, move almost a year ago and began a boycott of city buses. The Council last Christmas eve called off the boycott and started "riding integrated." Subsequently the City Commission knocked out the segregated seatings provisions in the bus line's charter and enacted a seat assignment ordinance mod- eled after he PUP1'1 assignment law, A test of constitutionality of 1 the seat assignment ordinance is pending in Federal District Court.
