Attorney Claims Court Violating Rights Of Whites ALEXANDRIA, La. Attorney Walter Suthqn Jr. of New Orleans says the U.S. Supreme series of racial decisions the constitutional rights of white persons. Suthon told the final session of the seventh annual Conference of Local Bar Association Saturday the violat'ons occurred because justices relied on sociological concepts instead of legislative enactments.

He said the equalizer applied by the court in interracial issues allow white children amusement or education under circumstances they or their parents prefer, but demands integration where Negro children and their parents are not content with separate facilities. The attorney said an amazing contrast exists between the apparent concern over the danger of intangible injury to Ne- fire prevention even have a girl friend yet. gro children by segregated: schools compared with the apparent lack of concern over possible injury to white children from the effects of enforced racial integration. In integration cases involving amusement facilities, Suthon said, the court apparently considers the only choice entitled to white persons is between doing without the', facilities or else sharing them on! an integrated basis with Negroes. Suthon said the 14th Amend-; ment to the U.S.

Constitution, re-j puted basis for the series of high court decisions on interracial issues, was illegally placed into the Constitution.
