Washington, Feb. 2l--When OIL
man Ed Pauley decided to step into
the political ring to slug 1t out with
Harold L. 1ckes, Big Ed apparently
was matching himself with the
master political battler.
Ickes has scored verbal kayos
on opponents ranging from two-bit
Chicago mobsters to personal FRIENDS
of the late resident Roosevelt
Ickes got his first taste OF pup
lie scrapping in Chicago where he
lived most of his life. He acted as
sort of a second" in this fray.
AS a result of several threats to
police official by gangsters, the
official had had his home guard
ed. A young immigrant boy hap
pened to be walking by and the
guards shot and killed him, APP
parently with no other provocation
than suspicion.
Won Fight
The late great humanitarian,
Jane Adams, of Hull House fame,
protested and appealed to city off,
Gals to investigate. Her plea was
ignored. But Ickes, then strug-
Cling lawyer, threw writs, court
orders and charges around so fast
the whole Windy City was reused
to fever pitch in defense OF the
dead immigrant boy. Result: Re-
signation of the police official.
With every weapon at his dis
posal Ickes fought Chicago's COL
orful Mayor Big Bill Thompson
He had a big hand in Thompson's
defeat at the polls when he sup

DAVIS RULING
At the hearings last October at
Macon, Georgia federal District
Judge T. Hoyt Davis, held that for
40 years the Democratic Party had
successfully excluded Negroes from
participation in the primary elec-
tionS; that the custom and prac-
tice was violative of a federally Sc
cured right under the 18th, l4th
and 18th constitutional amendments
and that henceforth, Negroes must
be permitted to vote in primary
elections. In addition to the vote
ruling, Judge Davis also awarded
Rev. King cash damages of $1C0
plus interest from date of the de-
cision. The New Orleans Appellate
Court sustained Judge Davis ruling
and enlarged it to include all elec-
lions, federal, state and municipal.

The State Primary Election Laws

right of Negroes to vote in the
so-called White Democratic Phi

ed the basis of the Mississippi
White Democratic Primary and
the denial to Negro citizens of the
right to vote in the state.
In order to the defeat the OBJ
yious decision of the United States

states where Negroes are denied
the right to vote have set out to
abolish completely the Election
Laws of the state. At the begin

Quitting Seen
As Result OF
Longtime Feud
Follows Lead Of
DIR. Numa Adams In
Leaving Position

WASHINGTON (ANP)--- The
dramatic resignation last week OF
DR.. John w. LaWlgh, dean of
Howard University's medical
school, will become effective af-
ter April 9th,, unless the trustee
board rules he must remain at his
post until the end of the current
school term, or around July l,
DR.. Lawlafl's resignation is re-
ported to have elimaxed a long
smouldering feud within he
schools administration over the
question of putting into effect SAL
ary adjustments made last fall by
university trustees. His clash with
DR.. Mordecai johnson, Howards
president, on the salary issue at
that time is said to have lead to
split between them.
INCREASE IGNORED

(Chicago) chief is reported to
have told DR.. Johnson to find
new head for the medical school
when the university's president
repeatedly ignored his recommen-
dations for increased teacher SAL
aries in his department. Nom

a bitter struggle last fall by forc-
ing university officials to recog-
nize the CIO United Federal work
ers of America as bargaining
agent for them
DIR. Lawlah is said 70 consider
the deanship Of Howard medical
school largely administrative,
which takes too much OF his time
from the medical field. His reslg-
nation stated he would like to de-
vote more time to teaching, re-
search and to take care OF his
practice. He is reported to have
begun planning to open an ex-
tensive Office where he can prac-
tive x-ray following his bitter
clash with DR.. johnson.

His new offices are slated to

now under construction, which
will be occupied mainly by physi-
