Rehearing Denied April 23, 1963.

Jack H. Young, Jackson, Miss., Robert L. Carter, Maria L. Marcus, Barbara A. Morris, New York City, for appellants.

Thomas H. Watkins, E. W. Stennett, Jackson, Miss., for appellees.

Before HUTCHESON and GEWIN, Circuit Judges, and HANNAY, District Judge.

PER CURIAM.

Upon a careful review of the record, we find ourselves in agreement with the conclusions reached by the trial court. Brown v. Board of Trustees of La Grange Ind. Sch. Dist., 5 Cir., 1951, 187 F.2d 20; Clark et al. v. Thompson et al., D.C., 206 F.Supp. 539.

The judgment is
