Apr. 24, 1963 - Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy said tonight that neither politics nor a defiant Governor George C. Wallace would deter enforcement of Federal Court desegregation orders.

The Attorney General flew to Montgomery late this afternoon for the first in a series of conferences with U.S. attorneys and other Federal officials in Alabama, South Carolina, and Georgia.
