Pr mar es Are E ections
On the 18th day of May, 194l, the

SEPARATE SCHOOLS
MAY BE MAINTAINED

The Court says the South may con-
tinue segregation in its system of edu-
cation as far as the Constitution is con-
cerned but Educational Opportunity
Must Be Equal
On December 1. 1898, the United States
Supreme Court ruled in the suit OF
Lloyd Gaines VS.. the State of Missouri
that a state must provide equal edu-
cational opportunities for all its youth
This decision was handed down in g
case appealed from the decision of the
Missouri State Courts involving a suit
seeking to force the University of Miss
ouri to admit Lloyd Gaines, Negro, t
the law department. The state court!
held that the law, making mandatory
separation of the races in schools, pro.
hibited the University from admit.
ing Negroes. The Supreme Court die
not base its opinion on the state segre
cation law. 1t held that if a state pro.
vides educationl opportunities for white
youth, the same opportunities must b.
provided for Negro youth. However
the decision specifically stated that i
any branch of work was not provided
white youth, the State did not have +,
proYide it for Negroes.

SUPREME COURT DECISION

Southern State and Federal District
Courts have been overruled with increas-
ing regularity during the past decade
The Supreme Court Of the United States
apparently is Inclining to favor citizens
rights as opposed to property rights and
sectional customs.
During the summer while the Court
rests, it is well to assemble these deci-
sions which affect directly the methods
which the South has used to solve its
race prob EN- and consider them as q
trend rather than as a final decision.

accommodations, but
Facil;t es In Travel Must Be Equal
On April Is, 1941, the Supreme Court
handed down a decision holding that
Negroes who travel on public carriers
must be furnished the same accommo-
dat ons as anyone else. The case invo-
we'd the ght of the Pullman Company
to fore Negro passenger to leave the
sleeping car and finish his trip in
Jim-crow day coach.
The Court held that the removal was
man fest a discrimination against
him in the course of his interstate
journey and admittedly that d.scrimi-
nation was based solely upon the fact
that he was a Negro. The question is
not a question of segregation but ore
of equality of treatment"
State Courts Are Admonished
In July, 1882, the United States Court
of Appeals, Maryland, set aside the
death sentence of Fuel Lee, Negro, and
ordered a new trial ON the grounds that
the prisoner was deprived of his con-
stitutional rights by reason that no Net
groes were on the trial jury. Several
other death sentences of Negroes were
appealed thereafter.
In April, 1895, the Supreme Court Of
the United States reversed the death
sentence in the famous Scottsboro case
and ordered new trials because Negroes
were Systematically excluded" from
grand juries and trial jUries.
Other cases from time to time have
been appealed on the same grounds with
reversal following each decision.
Grand Jury Service Is Upheld =
Indictments by grand juries precede
trials by jury so the-Supreme Court has
ruled that racial discrimination is uncon-
stituutional in service on grand Juries
In November, 194O direct decision
on grand jury service for Negroes was
handed down by the Supreme Court il
unanimous opinion on an appeal ORR
ginating in the Harris County, Texas
courts. The opinion reversing the Stats
Courts stated that rae al discrimination
had resulted in the exclusion of Negroes
from the grand jury which not only
violated the constitution but SIS at wal
with our basic concepts of democratic
society and a representative government.
Confession by Torture Is Inadmissib

intimidation and torture the Supreme
Court has held unconstitutional all YER

SALARIES MUST BE EQUAL

In November, 1889, the United States
District Court of Maryland handed down
an opinion in which the board of edu-
cation of Anne Arudel County is d.
rected to institute non-discriminatory
pay scale for white and Negro teachers.
Following less than a year after the
Supreme Court ruling on higher edu-
cation for Negroes in states maintaining
a biracial system of education, this Fee
deral court decision opens up another
field of discrimination on the basis CT
race in the South's educational system
In setting out the reasons for the de-
cis.on, the court destroyed one of the
South's most ingenius memods of dis
elimination based on statutes:
The controlling question in the
case, however, is not whether the
statutes are unconstitutional on their
face, but wheth r in their practical
application they constitute an I'M
constitutional discrimination on &C.
count of race and color prejudi-
cial to the plaintiff"
The Court continues:
"The crucial question in the case
is whether the very substantial diff
ferential between the white and col
| ored teachers of Anne Arundel
County is due to discrimination on
account of race or color.
I find as fact from the testimony
! it iS."
The court does not undertake 10
specify the amount of the salaries TO
be paid to white or eolored teachers but
| the Court enjoins the board of educa-
!, ton of Anne Arundel County 'from
discrimination in salaries on account od
Trace or color"

Correctx Error I'm List
OF Rulers OF Iraq.
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
I was pleased to receive through your
columns the information regarding the
recent coup d'etat in Iraq, We were
amazed, however. that you seemed not
to know that King Feisel I died in
Geneva in 1888. He was succeeded by
his son Ghazi who was killed in an
automobile accident in the spring OF
1899. The present sovereign is the boy
King Feisel II, son of the late King
GhaZi.
To understand the present situation
in Iraq one must realize that for six
years prior to the present regency a
very young ruler was on the throne
trying t. unity the many various re-
Igious and racial groups which COM
prise the population of the country Of
Iraq.

Accepts Secretary Of Agriculture
Wickard's Invitation


To the Editor Of The Star:
"Its high time Nation got excited
about war, Wickard says" Is the cap
tion of serious subject in The Star for
April a.
Well, I've been very excited all along,
but thought the Nation was in safe
hands and that would try to keep
. calm and help all I could in any way
indicated.
But if everything devolves upon the
people of the country, meaning the citi-
zens, to whom, by the way, the President,
too, is looking for leadership, pray tell
who is at the head, directing?
The President goes on his usual "vaca-
tions" while all business seems to be un-
finished business; Congress seems to be
either dead, or paralyzed by its respon-
sibilities, while no one seems able either
to placate or coerce the labor leaders or
workmen.
The President started in, in his first
term, ito listen to every one who seemed
to have an idea to try out" according
to Mrs. Roosevelt. And now it appears
that he is in the hands of his friends" !"
who have observed that he is not leading,

But I do think it is a little too much
to expect the public" in the middle

Persons who purchase birds find they
turn themselves into veritable alarm
clocks.
You can't fool bird, except by cover
ing his cage with a dark cloth. This
sort of "blackout" has been in style with
canary bird owners for long time, but
if you could ask the birds what they
think of it they would say it is all wrong.
Suppose all the songbirds were to act
along the lines Of the starlirgs, that is,
nest on houses.
That would be considerable of nuis-
ance, too.
But the birds don't, as a rule. They
take mostly to the trees and shrubs and
vines on fences, to old dead trees with
holes in them, or fence posts.
Just few species tend to occupy vines
directly on porches
Wrens have been known to nest in the
sleeves of an old coat left on a porch.
Sometimes birds will enter a house, in
search of food. In the main, however,
they stick closely to the outdoors When
bird gets indoors, it is usually as un-
comfortable TO the homeoWner as to the
bird. Old superstitions make men
shrink from the entrance of bird. Just
why this is so we do not know, but we
have no doubt that Sir John Frazier, in
his Golden Bough," gives an explana-
ton. Probably the bird is confused with
the soul.
II birds sang all night it wouldn't be q
welcome concert TO many human lis
teners.
AS it is. only the mockingbird insists
on this right.
He, in the night, Is not unpleasant, but
all the birds going it together all night
long would be quite another matter.
And if the birds few into our windows
and snatched food off the dining room
table, or out of the kitchen or pantry
That would be something. too! As it is

Bird idiosyncracies, in other words

Robins and cardinals are the chic.

Are they able to see themselves il
streams, and do they peck at their owl
reflections there, and if they do, do they
! fall in?
1t is an interesting question, whether
other species have more sense, anc
therefore do not fight their own ref1ec,
tions. or whether they lack somethins
of the spirit of the robins and cardinals
Neither species is particularly bel
