ASSOCIATED Negro Press Foreign

PARIS -(ANP)-I have just re-
turned from London where Amer

world youth conference joined with
youths from "a countries to de-
nounce war and world Imperialism.
There were 81 delegates from the
United States.
The five American Negro dele

Youth congress with headquarters
at Birmingham, Ala; Oliver Stokes,
Baptist Education association;
Gloster Culrent, Detroit NAACP
branch; Alexander Mapp, Columbus,
o., national Urban league and
Russell O n S, intercollegiate

The youths discovered that war
is huge calamity which shocks
mankind out OF his apathy and
complacency. A picture against i'm
perialism was partly supplied by
Miss Cooper, who served on "The

Va. Jim Crow

Appeal Allowed
By Chief Justice
Harlan F. Stone

WASHINGTON. D. c. = At last
clear case to test the Jim Grow
travel laws Of southern states
which segregate interstate passen-
gers on interstate carriers is before
the United States Supreme Court.
+ Chi-f Justice Harlan F.. Stone on
Nov. l9 signed an order allow
ing the appeal of Irene Morgan
from TIE tsEr' ,ment Of the Supreme
Cor iirginia affirming her
violation of the jim
Civ rtation statute of Vir-
ginia. The ase came up on direct
appeal instead of petition for writ
of certiorari because the appeal
challenged the constitutionality of
the statute in Virginia.
Irene Morgan, on July 16, 1914
was a passenger on Greyhound
bus from Closter county, Virginia,
to Baltimore, Md. When the bus
arrived in Salude, Va, the defend
ant was requested to move back to
the rear of the bus. She was arrest

WRIT OF ERROR

Her case was promptly appealed
to the Supreme Court of Virginia
on writ of error, and on June 6.
1945, her conviction was affirmed
by that court which held that the
Virginia statute was constitutional
and applied to interstate as well
as local passengers. A motion for
rehearing was promptly filed and
was denied by the Supreme Court
in September, 1915.
The United States Supreme
Court, in the case Of HALL VS. DE
CUR, in 1877, held that the local
statute in Louisiana prohibiting
segregation Of passengers did not
apply to interstate passengers. The
only other cases to reach the high
est court since that time have been
cases on the question of the equal
ity of provisions for segregation o.
passengers. The Irene Morgan case
is the first which clearly challen-
ges the validity of segregation sta
tutes as applied to passengers in in
terState commerce and on inter-
state carriers.
NAACP lawyers representing Miss
Morgan are Judge William H. Has
tie, chairman of the national legal
committee, Leon A. Ransom a n d
Spottswood w. Robinson, III, mem
bers of the national legal COM
mittee, ana Thurgood Marshall, N.

We're just asking: but is it
really expected of the produc-

war wages and yet pay postwar
prices?
No, she'll never make it. The
two-minute whistle has long
blown. But here she comes, all
out of breath. She might, tho,
at that. Hey, there goes the
