on Race Segregation
Ordnance Of Louis
vile, KY.

Washington, Nov. 5-Compulsory
separation of the Negro and white ra-
ces in residential districts is a viola
ton of the constitution, the Supreme
Court held today in an unanimous
opinion, declaring invalid the serega-
ton ordnance of Louisville, Ky. The
measure which prohibited persons Of
either race moving into blocks in
which a majority of residents We're of
the opposite color is similar TO ord
nances now in effect in St Louis, Bal
timore. Richmond and many other
southern cities.
Such laws, the court declared. would
not prevent the amalgamation of the
races as was claimed by the Louis
willie authorities, or prevent race con-
flicts
The courts action was reversal of
the lower court, which held the ord
nance to be reasonable exercise OF
the state police powers.
