JEWISH CONGRESS- SEEKS
SEGREGATION ELIMINATION
IN CALIFORNIA SCHOOLS
Brief Filed Against Segre-
CATION of Mexicans, Latins,
Negroes and other Minor
tiles in Orange County

LOS ANGELES-A legal attack
aimed at the elimination of segre-
cation of Mexicans, Negroes and
other minorities was launched here
by the American Jewish Congress
in a brief amicus curiae filed in
the United States Circuit Court Of
Appeals.
The case, Westminster School
Board vs.. Mendez, involves an ap-
peal by the local school authori-
ties of Orange County, California
from a Federal District Court ru
ling that segregating school chill
dren of Mexican of Latin descent
into separate schools is a violation
of the 18th Amendment.
The significance of the Ameri-
can Jewish Congress- brief rests
in its argument that segregation
per Sc, irrespective of the so called
ed equality Of the facilities invol-
we'd, is discriminatory and there
fore unconstitutional. Since 1895
so called Jim Grow segregation
laws, state enforced, have been UP
held where the facilities for segre-
gated groups are considered equal
to those provided others.

The Bell Tolls
(by Leonard iii. BeH)

In this postwar world of action and atomic ideas the time
has come for Negro institutions to revamp themselves and
really get down to the aIl-important task of serving and benz
efitting the great masses of the race.
The usual postwar trek of our people leaving the South
has begun and the majority of those who leave will settle inn
the large cities like Chicago, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, PhiladeL-
phia, New York, where many of them will fall easy prey to
INSCRIPTIONS employers, sex purveyors, cheap con men, and
all of the other evils that Turk in the city shadows to snare
the uninitiated. The youth will take the line of least resist
ance and swell the ranks of the vast army of juvenile deIin-
quents who even now are a problem to the officials of the
big cities. And the many illterates, povertyridden women
who meet with early disilusionment in employment and Iiv.

my business here" will revive the stigma Of racial immoral

Acts To Save
Wyatt Housing
Program

NEW YORK - The NAACP
added it's support to the rapidly
growing campaign action over
the tragic lack of housing. With
alarmingly increasing indications
that President Truman considers
scrapping Housing Expediter Wy
ats program for factory-built
homes in favor of his longtime
friend and advisor director George
Allen of the Reconstruction Fin
ance Corp. who bitterly opposes
the housing program, the NAACP
began modifying its forces for
what appears to be an impending
battle.
President Truman was in receipt
of a strong statement today.
which expressed the stand taken
by the Association. In a state
ment addressed to the Chief Ex-
ecutive, the NAACP declared. the
National Association for the Adj
yancement of Colored People is
deeply concerned with the tragic
lack of housing especially for Ne
gro veterans. This shortage is one
of the chief causes of such success
as organizations like the Columbi-
ans and Ku Klux Khan have had
to date. Situations facing Negro
veterans and others can only be
solved by continued price and ma
terials control and vigorous af-
firmative support by you of the
Wyatt veterans emergency hous-
ing program. We urge you to act
now to save housing program
from collapse and assure cooper
alton of all branches of govern
ment of national housing agency

NM. PAND|T, WALTER
WHITE SPEAK AT RALLY

NEW YORK. Making one of
the rare public appearances that
her duties as head of the Indian
delegation to the United Nations
permit Mrs. Vijaya L. Pandit. ia
Tented sister of the brilliant Java
harlal Nehru, spoke last Sunday
at the Golden Gate Ballroom here.
Sharing the platform with Mrs.
Pandit "a Walter White. The
meeting under the auspices of the
New York Branch NAACP, eli
NAKED the Gotham drive for 10,
600 new members.
Mrs. Pandit, acclaimed one of
her country's great leaders as
well as among the worlds truly
beautiful women. has recently
been making headlines because of
her frequent sharp clashes at
Lake Success, Long Island, where
the United Nations General AS
sembly Is converting, with General
Jan Christian SHUTS and other
members of South Africa which
arbitrarily demands annexation of
Southwest Africa, a source of
much mineral and material riches.
Her consistent championing of
the rights Of colored peoples in
general and of Indians specifically
has moulded a career of extreme
interest. Born into luxury forty
six years ago as a daughter of
one Of India's most powerful law
yers she nevertheless has devoted
her life to the arduous and some
times thankless task of seeking
midas freedom through work
with the Congress party. Twice in
1880 and again in 1882, she was
jailed by the British for her ac-
tivities. Yet in 1887 she emerged
as the first woman Cabinet min
lister when the Congress party
formed a government in the Uni
ted Provinces, and now she is the
first and only woman to head a
delegation to the United Nations
General Assembly. Last year she
made an extensive tour of the Uni
ted States pleading the cause of
Indian independence.

Committee
Justice Dept. A c
Alarmed by New Intimidation Techniques

NEW YORK-Alarmed by the
gradual and sinister development
of what seems to be a new tech
nique of racial intimidation by
Southern law enforcement officers
who seemingly have no fear of
federal Intervention, the committee
on administration of the NAACP
issued a stiff reminder to Atty.
Gen. Tom Clark in Washington
today. Atty. Gen. Clark, whose de-
partment of Justice is charged

cies fail to do so, has only recent

duction of a heretofore closely
guarded brief. Prepared by NAA
CP legal counsel, assisted by DOW
erful liberals with years of top
level Washington experience, this
brief is expected to provide a sem
sational legal basis for the expul-
sion of the violently anti-Negro
anti-Semitic Mississippi demago-
que, when the hearings get under
way in Mississippi on Monday.
Atty. Charles H. Houston. of Wa
shington, D. c., will represent the
NAACP during the hearings.
Atty. Houston, in Washington
today, declared that it would pro
badly require special permission
from the special committee in
charge of the hearings before the
lethal brief, which he considers a
most comprehensive one in terms
of legal and other pressing ele-
ments, a be presented. In his
opinion, the NAACP brief will
provide the most practical basis
for the Senate's right to act in
the unseating of Bilbo. Mr.. Hou-
ston, is expected to remain in Miss
at least one week and perhaps
two. In addition to the brief. he
will carry a substantial amount of
photostatic material which he ex-
poets to aid materially in the
action.
Supporting the major role which
the NAACP legal staff is expec-
ted to play in the historic hear
ings, NAACP branches in Mississ-
ippi have courageously planned
to provide Negro witnesses whose
testimony may prove to be da-
maging to the Mississippi Sena-
tors denial to charges Of intimi-
dating Negro voters.
Walter White, NAACP Execu-
tive Secretary, although optimist-
ic over Atty. Houston's chances
Of being heard during the hear
ings, disclosed the contents of a
letter from Senator Allen J. ELL
ender. Louisiana Democrat which
was in answer to the, NAACP's
request to actively participate. In
his letter to the NAACP head.

from a resolution introduced by a
Republican, Senator Bourke B.

resolution stated, :" further. that

may answer complaints or offer
statements or testimony to citi-
zens of the State Of Mississippi.
which is the situs of this COM
plant. ]"
1t is expected that Senator Bilbo
will attempt to rush the hearings
in an effort to eliminate testimony
from a large number of witness
es. Attempts will also undoubted-
ly be made to exclude recent ma
terial contained in articles expo
sing Bilbo in The Saturday Even
ing Post, Golfers and other peri
odicals and radio broadcasts.

The ability to look into the flu
ture has been one of mans great
est desires. Today, probably more
than ever before in the history
of the world, all of us are deeply
concerned about what is to come.
Our objective is the attainment
of a real, lasting peace in which
there will be assurance of full
justice and protection of all peo-
ples from oppression1 Such an
objective is worthy of any sacri-
flee. We have not yet obtained
that objective. There still remains
much to be done.
During the war we heard much
about the urgent need for full par
ticipation by all people in some
part of the fight. The pressure of
a national emergency ripped a
way the mantle of hypocrisy that
cloaked many shabby spots on the
foundation garment of American
democracy.
In these postwar years, and in
the immediate years to come. the
stake of the minority is a large
one. To achieve it, there must be
nc let down in the fight for equal.
ity and indignation.
Industry today is poised on the
Threshold of "a vastly expanded
domain. To the progress it had al
ready made has now been added
new processes and products, most
of them evolved during the war.
The labor movement today has
reached dimensions greater than
ever before. Labor in the United
States is the very essence of our
democracy. This does not mean
that labor has no faults within
its own movement. We all know
that such do exist. Labor is also
aware of them. But if these de-
ficiencies r to be corrected, the
job must be done with the help
of everybody involved. Most GER
tainly minorities are involved in
the labor movement.
The key to the future lies. too,
in political activity. Under our
form of government I'VE the peo-
pie" have the sole right to decide
which course the nation must
follow. 1t is up to all of us who
look forward honestly 20 an endu-
rable peace to work now for that
future.
Through use of our political
power we can pass a FEPC bill in
Washington. We car establish
firmly such principles as may be
necessary to protect our economy
and stabilize our industrial life.
Most of all. we can clean house
of those who have lost the vision
of a dynamic, progressive Amer
lea in which men and women shall
have equal social treatment, an
equal chance in life. An America
of self respecting working men
and women free of bias and ex-
