Title: At New Orleans rally.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-31772 AT NEW ORLEANS RALLY NEW ORLEANS -- When Rep. William E. Miller of New York, Republican nominee for Vice President arrived in New Orleans to address Louisiana Democrats for Goldwater, Leander Perez (right) was a member of the greeting committee. Mr. Perez, a county Democratic boss, was excommunicated in 1962 or actively opposing integration of Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of New Orleans. Mr. Millers is a Catholic and a Congressman who supported the Civil Rights Act. Political observers pointed out that Republicans had played down the support of Mr. Perez, and that the segregationist leader had been refused a meeting with Sen. Barry Goldwater. Such controls, they said, did not exist in a meeting featuring Mr. Miller planned by Democrats. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (W-NY-10E-64-W)

Title: Blast damages integrated school.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-29795 BLAST DAMAGES INTEGRATED SCHOOL BURAS, La. -- Our Lady of Good Harbor elementary school at Buras, La., which was boycotted last year by white pupils when it was integrated, has been heavily damaged by an explosion and fire. The parish pastor, Father Christopher Schneider, O.F.M., inspects the damage which shattered hopes for the school to be reopened this September. Investigators found three five-gallon gasoline cans on the roof of the school. One can still contained gasoline. A burned path about 50 feet long to the school indicated a fuse had been set and then lighted. Archbishop John P. Cody of New Orleans termed the blast “an outrage that must be deplored by every right-thinking person.” Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (NS-NO-8E-63-RB)
