SENATOR HILL Sees NEED OF
FEDERAL EDUCATIONAL AID

BIRMINGHAM, Aug. 26 (ANP)
-Southerners who a few years ago
fought federal aid to education in
the south, fearful lest some strings
be attacked whereby Negroes might
get equal educational opportunities,
are coming around to the other
side.
Alabama's Sen. Lister M. Hill
told statewide radio audience last
week that the south is faced by
problems which can be solved only
with federal aid. Said he:
"The south today receives only
eight percent Of the national in
come, but must educate 80 per cent
of the nations children. We find
Gin the south) the lowest expendi-
ture per child (for education) in
the nation, with consequent loss
in skills and creative power for
both the south and the nation.
lizard figures and democratic
logic make clear that without fed
eral aid there cannot be equal edu-
cational opportunity for adequate
medical care and public health"
Sen. Hill emphasized that the
south is region of great potential
tiles and that agriculture like in
dustry, must reconvert by termin-
ating a part Of it's cotton produc-
tion and turning the land into
dairying and livestock uses, food,
feed and small grain crops.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Aug. 26
ANP)-The army thought the
man colored for he is stationed with
a Negro battalion at Fort Jackson.
The wife, corporal in the WACs,
also at Fort Jackson, assigned to
the post hospital, thought him col
ored and on May 81 the two were
married in the probate judges Of
flee here.
But Saturday, South Carolina
law was responsible for their deci-
sion to annul the marriage, papers
filed in Richland countys civil
court indicate. The Wac sets forth
in her petition, sworn to before T.
Pou Taylor, county solicitor, who
acted as notary public, that her
marriage is null and void as a mat
ter of law, for the reason that the
plaintiff is of the Negro race and
the defendant of the white race,
such marriage being repugnant to
the laws and public policy of South
Carolina"
An answer, filed along with the
complaint by her husband, Portu-
guese who is an army private, de-
clares he did not know state law
prevented his marriage on racial
grounds and that the marriage IL
cense had listed him as "colored."
He also requested annulment.

called here.

CHICAGO, Aug. 26 (ANP)-|
With only one dissenting vote, a
fair employment practice ordinance
drafted and introduced by the Chi
cago Civil Liberties committee was
adopted by the Chicago City coun-
cil Chicago becomes the first city
to enact such an ordinance. The
ordinance makes it misdemeanor
for an employer to refuse to employ
or for for union to refuse to ad-
nit any persons because of race,
creed, color or national origin.
The ordinance committed the
city of Chicago to a policy of non
discrimination in its own hiring
and requires contractors and SUBJ
contractors working for the city to
include in all contracts an agree
ment not to discriminate.
The Illinois House of Represen-
tatives passed state FEPC bill but
it was defeated in the senate by en-
ployer organization.
Ira Latimer, executive director
of the Chicago Civil Liberties Com
mittee, stated: "The new ordin-
ance is of the greatest importance
because of the multi-million dollars
public works project which Chicago
is planning to undertake in the
months and years just ahead.
'The city prosecutor will receive
complaints of violation of the or
dinance and prosecute these viola
tions in the municipal court. Public
officials in all city departments will
be held responsible for all employees
and contractors working under
their direction. The new ordinance
will have the support of the major
ity of public opinion and will be
therefore quite effective in ending
discrimination in e m p o y m n
against minority groups"
The new ordinance is as follows ::
'Section 1. Whereas, it is the
policy of the United States govern
ment in furtherance of the success
full winning of the peace to insure
the maximum participation Of all
available workers in production, re-
gardless of race, creed, color or ma
tional origin, in the firm belief that
the democratic way of life within
the nation can be defended success
