Appeal In u. Of Missouri
Case Set For November

ST. LOUIS. Mo.-The usual de-
lay of Approximately two years in
cases appealed to the Missouri su-
preme court will be avoided in the
University of Missouri case and a
hearing viii probably be heard in
November, it was announced here
by Sidney r. Redmond, NAACP
attorney for Lloyd L. Gaines.
Gaines. who is seeking to enter
the law school Of the University
of Missouri, lost the first round IN
a legal battle July "a when Judge
Walter M. Dinwiddie ruled in Col
umbia that the University of Mis-
SOUR could not admit a Negro stu
dent.
Judge Dinwiddie upheld the con-
tention of six lawyers for the uni
versity who maintain that the state
had a right to separate Negroes
and whites in schools; that it was
illegal for Negroes and whites to
attend the same schools and con-
trary to the Missouri constitution.
that a Negro could force Lincoln
university (the co1ore d state
school) to open a law school; an5
that a scholarship fund provided
by the state for out-of-state study
by Negro students provides equal
ity of education between the races.
Mr.. Redmond and Charles H.
Houston, of the New York staff
of the NAACP, argued that there
was no equality of education where
the state provides graduate and
professional training for whites al
the University of Missouri and
makes no provision for graduate
and professional training for Ne
groes; that the scholarship func
did not provide equal education
and could not be regarded as an
adequate substitute for graduate
and professional training ia the
state; that the provision IN the
Missouri constitution operating in
this instance was contrary to the
14tii amendment to the u. S. con-
stitution and therefore of no eff
feet.
In an almost identical case in
Maryland last year the NAACP
won its suit in the lower court and
also in the state supreme court.
The situation is practically the
same because Maryland has a state
school for Negroes without gradu-
aIe or professional training. Mary
land also provides limited amount

Instantly" for a defense of Mad,
rid.
After first denying insurgent
claims of the capture Of Maqueda
and Santa Olalla, the radical gov.
eminent later admitted a battle
had taken place beyond both cities
on the road to Madrid, tacitly
confirming the overnight insur-
gent claims of victory.
Joint Call Issued
simultaneously the government,
through the Socialist, Communist,
Left Republican and Republican
parties, issued a joint manifesto
calling the loyalists to arms i'm
mediately to beat back the insur-
gent onslaught. 1t read:
"The rebels are fighting deS-
perately to reach Madrid, but
Madrid will be their grave. They
shall not pass.
"StrOnger than their artillery
and stronger than their planes
is the fighting heart of the
people defending their freedom
and their daily bread. At this
crucial moment we are all
united in a steel front against
which Fascism cannot prevail"
The manifesto reported loyal
list victory at Santa Cruz del
Ratenar, a town about 10 miles
beyond Maqueda toward Madrid.
Column Routed
At this town, the government
announced, loyalists routed a
column of Moors and Legionnaires
after three hours fighting, the in
surgents Fleeing toward Santa
Olalla."
This was the first admission the
insurgents had even reached Santa
Olalla, much less Maqueda, which
they must have passed through to
get to Santa Cruz.
Despite the between-the-lineS
revelations, Gen. Juan Asensio, in
charge of all operations in the
Madrid area, announced along
with the Santa Cruz report that
''the situation was much i'm
proved"

In Busiest Time of
Convention

Homage to the man who did
more than anyone else to create
the United States was paid today
by the soldiers who fought for the
man who did more than anyone
else to preserve the Union.
The occasion was the reverent
visit Of about 500 members of the
Grand Army of the Republic, at
tending their last national encamp-
ment here, to the grave of George
Washington at Mount Vernon.
Themselves the object of adula-
ton for the past three days, the
white-haired heroes of 1861, who
flocked to the call of Abraham
Lincoln, paid their respects to the
First President as one gallant war
r1or to another.
500 Make Trip
Leaving their headquarters in
the Mayflower Hotel shortly after
l p. m, the 500 members left about
400 comrades behind them as they
boarded BUSES for the trip down
the Mount Vernon Memorial Boule-
ward. They also toured Arlington
National Cemetery, with those who
were able walking about the hal
lowed grounds where so many Of
their fellow soldiers lie buried.
They came here as conquering
heroes in 1865. They have come
here at other times since then.
during the II years of their or
ganization'S existence. But the
present encampment is to be the
last of such national meetings,
and the veterans are making the
most Of it.
Their program for today began
with a meeting of the credentials
committee at $50 a. m, during
which those who are not con-
nected with the committee be-
gan to gather once more in the
lobby of the Mayflower to talk
over 1.-THE old days" and receive
the homage Of younger men and
women who have been attracted
to the spot.
Many visitors
Besides the many persons at
tached to the five G.. A. R. aux.
iliaries which are also meeting
here, men and women from all
walks of life have been dropping
into the Mayflower to see the old
soldiers. 1t is not unusual, hotel
attaches say, for strangers to ap-
proach a blue-clad veteran and
ask him to spin yarns about the
"War."
The auxiliarieS will join with
the G. A. R. in staging the faith
ers' and daughters banquet at
the Hotel Washington at 6 p. m.
The auxiliaries are the Woman's
Relief Corps, the Ladies of the
G. A. R., the Daughters of Union
Veterans, the Sons of Union Vet
