MARYLAND UNIV.
LOSES FIGHT TO
EXCLUDE: NEGRO

BALTIMORE The University
Of Maryland lost its fight to ex-
clude Negroes from its halls Tues
day when Judge Eugene O'Dunne
of the Baltimore Supreme Court
ordered that a colored student be
admitted to the University next
September.
The verdict is believed to settle
the case instituted by Donald
Gaines Murray, Amherst gradu-
ate, who sought to enter the law
school here.
DIR. Raymond A. Pearson, presi-
dent of the University, indicated
that regardless of the outcome of
the case, he would still refuse Ne
groes admittance. Representatives
of the university and the Attorney
Generals office did not say wheth-
er they would appeal the decision,
N.A.A.C.P. lawyers, led by DR..
Charles H. Houston, special coun-
sci for the organization, defend
ed Mr.. Murrays plea for writ
of mandamus, requiring the upi
versity to accept and pass upon
his entrance qualifications.
Reports indicate that the state
will appeal the case, but Charles
t. LeViness, 3rd. white, assistant
attorney general, would not COM
init himself on the question.
Hopes For Success
At the conclusion of the case,
however, Mr.. Leviness said, Il
wish to be quoted as saying that
hope Mr.. Murray leads the class
in the law school and graduates
as valedictorian.
He made this statement while
shaking hands with the Amherst
graduate.
Judge O'Dunne indicated that
he would require Murray to be
admitted in spite of any appeal
that might be made.
Attorneys for Murray said that
two Negroes have attended the
school before. The late Harry
Cummins, widely known member
of the Maryland bar, and w. Ash
by Hawkins, of Baltimore. Haw-
kins attended for two years and
then was asked to leave before he
completed his course, This was be-
fore the state took over the school
in 1920.

JOE LOUIS


FOR THE FIRST TIME since
Jack johnson held sway, a worth
while Negro heavyweight looms as
a champion. IN Joe Louis, the
Brown Bomber. the colored race
has an athlete in a high position
they are not ashamed Of Previous
to this most Of the colored boxers
have been the type that white and
most colored followers Of fisticuffs
have hated.
The antics Of Jack Johnson and
the futile Glowing Of George Cod
frey were discreditable.
But in Joe Louis we have q young
fellow, seriors. Intelligent, and a.
bove ali, gentleman. He has as
many white friends as he has col
ored. He is managed exclusively
BY colored men. They are i1itslli-
gent and are well known for their
race loyalty. All Of them are menu
bers Of the Ellks and the National
Association for the Advancement
Of colored People. Joe attributes
his Success to good advice Of his
mother. And rightly so; for It
seems that she has had much to
do with Joe's training Not about
how to fight but to be honest, lead
q clean life and be a gentleman.
If Joe Louis wins the worlds hea-
vyweight championship you may
be sure he win not do anything to
discredit his race

GOV. EARLE SIGNS
EQUAL RIGHTS BILL

HARRISBURG, Pa. ~ AMP
Despite the pleas and protests OF
hotel and restaurant operators
throughout the state, Governor

nolds Equal Rights Bill, thereby
enacting it into a law.

public institution which refuses to
serve or otherwise discriminates
against any citizen Of the State e

Immediately following the in
PRODUCTION of the bill in the House
of Representatives the Pennsyl-
vania Hotel Association got busy
and members Of the house were
swamped with petitions, urging the

support of Republican and Demo-
cratic members.

Congressman Arthur w. Mitchell,
tDem., Ill) advised Ids listeners
to go South where the water is
deeper and the fish more plentiful. +"
In urging the graduates to go
into the Southland. the Illinois
Congressman said:
IF you would write your name
indelibly on the pages of history,
then you must lose yourself in
service to mankind Eighty per
cent of our population is in the
South needing help and guidance. .
One Ate Orange PeeIs
The Congressman retold his
story of walking sixty-six miles
from his Alabama home to enter
Tuskegee Institute. He stated that
while on his way hunger forced
him to pick up orange peels from
the road after they had been
trampled by horses hoofs or crush
ed by wagon wheels.
Mr.. Mitchell asserted that he
took these peels to nearby springs,
washed them, and used them for
food When he arrived at Tuske-
gee, the legislator stated, he need
ed two dollars to matT;culate. Co
ing to a nearby hotel, he was able
to earn the two dollars by work.
ing two days.
DR. Washington. then head of
the institution, asked him how he
had earned the money, it Yves re-
lated, when he returned. Learning
that he had earned 1t waiting
table, Congressman Mitchell said
that DR.. Washington told him to
keep the two dollars, I'll put it
up for you. When a boy has an
ambition like that for an educa-
ton, I'll pay his two dollars for
him"
Censures Weldon johnson
The Congressman also took &C.
casion to criticise a recent publica-
ton by DR.. James Weldon John

Johnson's book" he said, land the
fatal weakness in that book and
in any life is that God was left
out. Nowhere in DR.. Johnson's
book does he say that to succeed
man must trust in God"
Stressing struggles and discour-
agements incidental to youth, Mr.
Mitchell admonished the graduates
to seek God for a place to serve.
Concluding, the legislator said
that the group must use people
who do rot want to be used. He
declared that the whites had used
the colored group throughout the
years and that now it was time
for the latter to use the whites.

Jesse Owens Takes Four Firsts IN
National Inter Collegiate Title Meet

EDWARDS FIELD, Berkeley
One man can't beat whole uni
versity, as was demonstrated here
when the great unbeaten Southern
California track and field team adj
ded the National Collegiate char1-
pionship to their list of titles Sat
urday afternoon, but Jesse Owens.
the great colored runner from o.
hio State, demonstrated to the
satisfaction of 10000 assembled
customers, that he is the greatest
individual performer in the world.
Capturing four first places. the
1O0-yard dash, the 2O0-yard dash,
the broad jump and the low hurd-
les, this unassuming colored boy
all by himself scored 40 points and
cinehed second place for his team.
Only a wind which at times meas
ured ten miles an hour and which
hit the runners squarely in the
face, kept the Ohio flyer from set
ting a flock of new records in adj
dition to setting a new individual
scoring mark.
Great Performance
They may make better athletes
than young Mr.. Owens, but they
haven't as yet unveiled them to
the public eye, for this young phe-
nomenon, never seeming to force
himself to the limit of his blind
ing speed, was beating the finest
college athletes in the United
States and doing it under condi-
tions which were far from favor
able.
And, when the racing was ali

bit Of afternoon tea, or something
of equal consequence, the entire
20 600 spectators were still seated
at Edward Field stadium waiting
for this astonishing young man to
take a couple of cracks at the
worlds broad jump record. This
was his privilege as the winner of
the event. He couldn't do it on his
first try so he took advantage of
his running start to just keep on
going to the dressing rooms and
thereby avoid the crush of back
slappers and autograph hounds.
Breeze Slows Owens
The breeze slowed him, but it
didn't keep him from demonstrate

shooting away from his marks like
