Endorses New Negro

Richmond. Va. Oct. 81 (C)-The

editorial Saturday captioned "Negro
High School Assured" said: "Sen-
ator Byrd's telegram, announcing
that the Public Works Administra-

which authorities here had been

"The federal allotment will total

we're pressure on Armstrong, the
only Negro high school at present
in the city. Which. for years, has
worked in double shifts in order to
accommodate the overflow of pupils.
This building was designed for
| 400 students; the enrolment now
is approximately 1900. Such a sit
uation is fair NEITHER to the Negro
boys and girls, who are due ade-
quate educational facilities. nor to
the educational authorities who
must resort to this make-shift ex-
pedient.
"The building will be designed
to accommodate 1,160 students. AS
a new departure in educational ia
c%ilities provided for Negro pupils,
it will provide space for vocation
al training. This is regarded by
school authorities as very import
ant. A large percentage of both
white and colored students are not
equipped temperamentally, or 9TH
erwise. to pursue cultural courses.
Any attempt to force them is a
waste Of time and energy. It is far
better for all parties concerned to

is assured, meeting, perhaps, the

tional system. all those who have
worked increasingly to this end de-

S. ID, McGill, a nationally
known Negro lawyer, threw a
bombshell into the packed court
room when he announced that
the failure Of the judge in the
first trial of the boys to pro
vide adequate defense counsel
for them, was a direct viola
ton of their constitutional
rights, and that the defendants
therefore had reasonable basis
for an appeal before the high

versal by that body. Recent de-
eisions in similar cases indicat-
ed the latter, MeGill said later.
The decision of the Jackson
vile attorney, who has been
the chief force in the fight to
free the four men since 1898,
was based on the fact that in
the first case the defense attor-
neys were not appointed until
one day before the trial, and no
steps were taken to prepare a
"eel fight for their freedom.

marked by a lack of the hos
