was docketed but before its con

were not of themselves violative of
the fourteenth amendment. The
court below also found therThr ed
ucational facilities afforded by ap
pellees for Negro pupils are not
equal to those provided for White
children. The District Court did not
issue an injunction abolishing,
cial distinctions as prayed by ap
pellants, but did order appellees to
proceed at once to furnish educa

to those furnished White pupils. In

conclusion of those proceedings,

It is so ordered.
Mr. Justice Black and Mr. Jus-
Douglas dissent to vacation of
the judgment of the District Court

that the additional facts contained
