= i, ~. WASHINGTON~The Supreme Court séaglag told the
City of New Orleans to stop discriminating against Negroes
in tax-supported parks and playgrounds.

The Court gave emphasis to its action by affirming an
appellate court decision, rather than choosing the more

customary course of merely refusing to review the case.

The court rebuffed efforts of
the New Orleans City Park Improvement Association, a municipal corporation, to bar Negroes
from using the city park.~ The
park includes golf links, tennis
courts, picnic grounds, boating,
and other recreational facilities.

The court did this by affirming a decision of the United
States Court ~of Appeals in New
Orleans. The appellate court has
upheld the issuance of an injunc
tion by the United States District
Court in New Orleans that gave
Negroes the use of the park
facilitiees.
Prior Decisions

In its decision, the appellate
court noted that the courts had
decided that the refusal of city
and state officials to make publicly. supported - facilities available on a non-segregated basis
to Negroes deprived them on
equal protection under the laws.

The appellate court remarked
that. the question had been decided ~in| too many cases for us
