New York Cotton

by tne Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Moderate
price recessions under liquidation
and hedge selling marked slow trad
ing in cotton futures today. Scale
down trade buying was the principle
support.
Easiness was influenced partly by
the delay in announcement by the
FSCC on awards for approximately
10000 bales of spot cotton on which
bids were submitted last week.
Uncertainty over the administra-
tons price program also caused
traders to back away. Continued
mill demand for cotton was reported

CHICAGO, Jan. l5.-Oats led a

Buying of oats was associated with

good shipping sales strengthened
corn.

AGGIES PREPARE TO

BUTNER ELEVEN
By G.. A, IRWIN.
BY c. A. IRWIN.

After spending last week In
rest and light practice the snarl-
ing Bulldogs of A. and II. college
resumed heavy drills today in pre-
paration for its stiff fracas with
vaunted eleven from Camp But
ner, North Carolina. The prac-
tice began with a short session of
dummy blocking and tackling lat
er moving to punting drills with
Weaver, Bryant and Howell
booming them for SO, 60 and 10
yards at clip.
Having warmed the boys up,
Head Coach Charlie DeBerry or
dered the "bonnets" to be gotten,
and Il rough and tumble scriIn-
mage was In the offing. Special
emphasis was placed on pass de-
fense, since that seems to be the
Aggies one weak spot Having

eager and alert In their PAGES to-
day. Especially surprising and
gratifying was the play of Red,
the Jinx Howell, second string
quarterback, who galloped for
one touchdown, passed for anoth-
CIR, and continually dashed for
long runs against the first string
line all afternoon. This startling
performance interjected question
mark into the minds of ardent
Aggie followers as to who Will be
the starting quarterback come 2
p. m. Saturday
The Butner eleven looked very
impressive in It's win of last week,
displaying trlckery and power
plus accurate kicking. The fol-
lowing men bear watching In the
coming contest: Stagg Sergeant
John Hamilton, 262 pound tackle
from Wilberforce university; Ser
geant Sylvester Watkins, quarter
back from Russ college; 1t. Mel
vim Cade, former Morgan college
great, and 1t. Albert Briggs OF

The future outlook., 1943-10-23

Alabama there has been no de-
finite program. Gradually, how
ever, Negro teachers are being
paid more and In Jefferson
(Birmingham) county much pro-
gress has been made toward clos
ing the gap.
Ralph Il. Jones, Arkansas
state superintendent of education,
says local boards In about six
counties have undertaken equal
ization programs. A legal suit Is
pending against the Little Rock
school board.
j. S. Van Diver, Mississippi
state superintendent Of educa-
tion, reports that the dlfferential
has been slowly decreasing In his
state. White teachers in Mlssis-
sippl are paid an average of 500
n month for eight or nine months
and Negro teachers about 500 Il
month for six to eight months and
this, Van Diver says, Roughly
corresponds to the comparative
amount of training each group
has had"

CHARLOTTE. - Not In these
words, of course, but three years
ago the Supreme court said to the
south: you've got to pay Negro
school teachers of the same ex-
perience the same salary you pay
white teachers for the same
amount of work"
At the time the gap between
the pay Of white and Negro
teachers had already been mar
rowed over Il period of years. Yet
one estimate was that 1t would
take $25,000,000 annually to
achieve equalization.
Reaction ranged from speedy
voluntary agreements In some
communities to the attitude of one
state senator who grlmly com
mented: "If the Supreme court
does say that we must pay the
Negroes, how are they going to
make us do it?"
Since the Supreme court spoke.
what has been done toward equal
ization?
There are almost as many an
swers as there are states which
have separate schools for whites
and Negroes. But survey of
state education officials shows
that considerable strides have
been made.
The most has been done in the
richer states and In the border
states where the Negro popula-
tion Is proportlonately small aud
least In the deep south with its
heavy Negro populations.
Walter White, executive secre-
tary Of the National Association
for the Advancement Of Colored
People, says that the campaign
for teacher pay equalization has
now reached II of the 13 tradi-
tionally southern states and that

boards "have followed the man
dates Of the law as result OF
court action"
In others, however, he says, the
school boards have refused to
give In, and have taken different
types Of steps In an attempt to
circumvent the true meaning of
the 14th amendment. This, he
adds, has been done by rating
systems" and other methods.
"The next step in the cam
paign," White says, "is an attack
on these rating systems whereby
Negro teachers, for the most part,
are rated lower than white tench-
ers Of equivalent standing
The suit which reached the Su-
preme court was instituted in
Virginia. In November, 1889. II
Negro school teacher in Norfolk,
Melvin O. Aston, brought legal
action to compel the city to pay
him on the same scale as the
white teachers.
Parker Ovcrrules.
He lost his suit in district court
and appealed. Judge John j..
Parker, Of the United States cir
cult court of appeals, reversed the
lower court, with the comment:
This unequal pay) is as clear
q discrimination on the ground Of
race as could well be imagined
and falls squarely within the in
hibition of both the due process
and the equal protection clauses
OF the 18th amendment"
October 2S, 1910, the Supreme
court refused to review the case.
This gave the green light to the
National Association for the Adj
vancement Of Colored People
which had been wagins the fight
In the courts.
Since then, suits have been
filed in six states, and preliminary
steps for the filing Of suits have
been taken in four others.
