THE MICHIGAN DA1X14'
Court of appeals
state to buy 150
LANSING (UPI) - The state
of Michigan has been ordered
to submit a plan for the
'speedy acquisition" of 150
school buses to be used in the
Detroit school integration pro-
gram.
The order issued yesterday
by the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of
Appeals in Cincinnati may have
improved chances that the
busing program will be started
this fall.
THE ATTORNEY GENER-
AL'S office must submit the pur-
chasing plan to the court next
Tuesday.
For the time being, however,
the question of who will pick up,
the. $2.4 million tab for the
buses remains unanswered.
Although . the state h a d
initially been ordered to pay for
the buses D e p u t y Attorney
General Stanley Steinborn said
it may now be possible to work
out an arrangement under
which the Detroit School
District could borrow the mon-
ey from the state.
THE APPEALS COURT order
handed down yesterday did not
specify where the money would
come from.
Attorney General Frank
Kelley said the court order
stipulated simply "that the pro-
cedure be consistent with state
and local fiscal procedures
while not financially disrupting
orders
buses
the Detroit school system."
U. S. District Judge Robert
DeMascia of Detroit had order-
ed the state, which is a defen-
dant in the desegregation case,
to pay for the buses. The ap-
peals court stayed that order
May 27.
KELLEY HAS CONTENDED
that the state should not be re-
quired to buy the buses because
it has not committed any acts
of segregation and that it could
not make such a purchase with-
out legislative approval.
The Detroit School Board has
claimed it cannot afford to buy
the buses.
DeMascio has been holding
hearings on various plans for
integrating the Detroit schools.
The U. S. Supreme Court sent
the case back to district court
after rejecting a plan that
would have involved cross-dis-
tricting busing with the sub-
urbs.
