Tory legislators were this week search
ing for means to nullify the recent
supreme Court ruling that Negroes
must be admitted to the University OF
Missouri law school unless equal facil-
tiles are offered at Lincoln University
state institution for Negroes.
Lloyd Gaines, the youth who carried
the fight to the Supreme Court, has
already announced his intention of en-
tering the law school following the re-
cent high court decision. He has been
assured the support of many organiza-
tons and of the white student body OF
the university in his fight to be enroll
ed.
Unwilling to go even to the extent
of providing law department at
Lincoln University, the Tories said
that establishment of law school at
Lincoln would lead to a demand for
instruction in several other fields not
now available to Negroes in Missouri"
