Sen Birch Bayh (D.Ind.) said yesterday in a campaign speech at Boston University that he favors forced busing to achieve school desegregation.
Speaking before about 300 people, Bayh said, "What we really want is equal education opportunities for all and if this requires busing then busing must be kept."
"The mayor recognizes that Garrity is doing what he is required to do, but he finds the judge's preconceptions about the practicability of busing hard to take," Gleason said.
Gleason said White feels that Garrity has not given consideration to the mayor's jobs of running the city, and that Garrity has had too much faith in the competence of school department officials to implement his busing orders.
The Phase Two desegregation plan orders city officials to implements and finance city-wide busing of secondary school students to achieve a greater racial balance in the Boston area schools.
