THOMSEN, Chief Judge.
In this class action filed on May 1, 1964, Negro plaintiffs seek an injunction restraining defendants, the Board of Education of Harford County and the Superintendent of Schools, from: (A) refusing to adopt and implement a plan providing for the elimination of segregated schools in Harford County by September 1964, rather than in four steps ending September 1967, as proposed by defendants; (B) discriminating on the basis of race in hiring new teachers; and (C) continuing to assign Negro teachers exclusively to Negro schools solely on the basis of race.
