BY NAACP IN FLORIDA
RAIL CASE

New York, N. Y-Stating that
Mrs. Marta Mae Watkins, of ny
City, was a passenger in inter
state commerce and therefore not
subject to local regulations con-
Corning the separation of the ra-
ces in jim crow states, the MAJ
CP. through its legal department
announced it would appeal the con
viction last week.
Mrs. Watkins was enroute from
New York City to West Palm
Beach, Florida, and was riding in
a reserved Seat in one of the Goa
ches of the Atlantic Coast Lines
Champion When authorities asked
her to move to the '~colored section
of the train she refused to do so.
At Jacksonville, Florida Mrs.
Watkins was taken off the train
for allegedly violating the jim
crow law and isorderly conduct.
Local NAACP representatives Sc
cured her release from jail and
furnished counsel for defense. AT
the train no disorderly conduct
was shown except her refusal to
move to the colored Section II
was further contended that since
she was an interstate passenger,
she was not subject to local race
separation laws. She was convict.
ed and fined SIS on each charge.
The appeal is expected to come ur
, in June.

FIRST NEGRO APPOINTED
TO NY BOARD OF
HIGHER EDUCATION

New York-(C)-The appoint
ment Of Rev. John Coleman, Brook
lyn Negro Catholic to the Board
of Higher Education was highly
welcomed in some circles and the
other circles appeared not to be
pleased. By appointing DR. Cole
man, who has had a distinguished
career in interracial affairs. May
or O'Dwyer is being congratulated
for placing the 1st Negro on the
board which governs the c~ity-own-
ed colleges. On the other hand,
since a vacancy vas left on the
Board of Higher Education which
is a much larger and more pow
erful board than the secondary
school machinery, many Negroes
feel we should have had an APP
pointment on the Board of Educa-
ton.
However, Mayor O'Dwyer has
given out the information that he
felt it a necessity to appoint a
Catholic to fill the vacancy on
the Board of. Education since the
position was formerly occupied by
a Catholic, Daniel P. Higgins, who
resigned last December. Mean
while, many circles are exclaim-
ing that they never heard of DR..
Coleman. Why couldn't a more
outstanding personality have been
appointed as DR.. Claiming H. To-
bias?
DR.. Coleman was sworn in on
Tuesday, March 5th, and his term
will last through Juna 80, 1852.
Barring unforeseen accidents, there
will be no more vacancies until in
1852.

submitted a petition for clemency
in behalf of Ernest Stewart now

intent to kill upon a white super

for acquittal. At the court martial
no proof was offered that Stewart
had fired at his superior officer.
The Petition emphasized the gross
errors of law committed by the
court and it alleged that Stewart
