A Salute To
NAACP Lawyers

Names of famous law cases
carve their nick in history ana III
memory. Less frequently, but OIL
ten, the names of judges make a
permanent impression on the pages
of time and recollection.
The infamous bred Scott de-
cision, rendered in 1857 and de-
livered by Chief Justice Roger b.
Taney of the United States Supre-
me Court, is illustrative of the
point. CroVey VS.. Townsend, IN
which the decision was rendered IN
1885 by Justice owen j. Roberts
memb n of the present Supreme
Court is another case in point.
But the lawyers who prepared
the cases, poured and sweated over
books and documents while dig
cling out" the law, wracked their
brains for the right words and
phrases. passed through the ordeal
of argument and matching of legal
wits. then waited impatiently and
prayerfully for the courts verdict
they are too soon forgotten.
NONE COULE SURPASS
Perhaps many other lawyers
could have done equally as good a
lob. but none-white, black, red
nor yellow-could have surpassed
the effort turned in by Thurgood
Marshall and william HASTE who
pied the case of Smith VS.. Albright
ct al.
We remember them now because
their legal, civic and national acti-
vities keep them in our current
pubic eye-and the case was argu-
ed only last November, re-argued
in January, and decided just last
week.
But ten years from now, only the
officers of the NAACP, the STU
dents at Howard Law School, a
few newspaper men with sharp
memories, and LOnnie Smith, the
complainant and appellant, will
remember the names of these two
men as being the brilliant lawyers
who won the historic, epoch-chang-
ing case out-lawing the exclusion
of Negroes from the primaries of
the Democratic party in TexaS-and
perhaps in the entire South.
They should never be forgotten!
I swell with pride each time l
relive the experience in memory
of those two stalwarts, giving the
lie to the race-inferority theories
of Hitler and Bilbo and Rankin,
belittling the objections of Rep.
May I'D of Kentucky to the truth
that many Negroes are superior to
many whites, as they argued the
