Z the University Is not as hostile

demonstrated at a mass meeting
Cor the NAACP the night Of the
hearing. In Austin, when J. Frank
D0bie, professor at the University,
odd a crowd of several thousand
stuients and interested members
II the community, that II the state
does not set up a university equal
20 the University Of Texas, he was
in favor Of admitting Negroes to
the University Of. Texas. The
president Of the University's stu
dent body, a young veteran, said
group Of students were for
christianity, democracy, equality
and justice now" adding that he
wanted TO correct a false impress
sion. IF Negroes were admitted
20 the University Of Texas, they
would not be Stunned and outcast.
They would be my friends and
would have many friends among
other students.
In a telephone conversation with
Walter White, NAACP Executive
Secretary, a few moments after
court had adjourned, Thurgood
Marshall stated:
I'VE shall carry on this fight TO
provide adequate professional edu-
cation opportunities for Negroes
to a successful finish. II is APP
parent now that we are not alone
even in Texas. The courtroom was
packed with young white Texan
students of the University. who sat
cross-legged on the floors and

torneys in their fight for democ-
racy."

Texas Court Denies
Right of Citizen
To Attend School

AUSTIN, Tex, Dec. 24-State
NAACP action against the Board
Of Regents Of the University Of
Texas, 10 compel them 10 admi.
Heman Marion Sweat, a Negro
applicant. to their school Of law in
the absence Of a separate but
equal" law school for Negroes in
the state. was blocked today in
the District Court Of Travis Coun.
ty. in a surprising and unwar-
ranted order handed down by
Judge Roy c. Archer, Diminishing
the NAACPs petition for n writ
II mandamus.
On June II, Judge Archer had
entered an order giving the Uni
ysrsity Of Texas six months in
which to establish a law school
for Negroes, saying at that time,
that II such a school was not estab-
lished, the writ should be issued.
So bitterly has the State Of Texas
opposed the admission Of a Negro
into the heretofore all-white law
3chool that Attorney General
Grover Sellers himself appeared in
the crowded court to file q motion
Urging that the NAACP's petition
be dismissed, although no evidence
was introduced as to whether
Negro school was established or
would be established.
All that the Attorney Generals
motion contained was a resolution
by the Board Of Regents Of the
Texas A. & NJ. College, authorizing
the establishment Of a law school,
and stating that u law school for
Negroes would be established in
Houston. Tsxas--''that the Gov
ernor will be asked for a deficiency
appropriation to provide for the
cost Of any instructions"
NAACP Attorneys Contest
Motion
The Attorney Generals motion
was Immediately contested by Mr.,
Sweatt's attorneys, Thurgood
Marshall, NAACP Special Counsel,
W. J. Durham, James NJ. NAbrit,
Jr., c. Dunkley, and Robert l..
Carter, NAACP Assistant Coun-
sci, who argued that the only an
swer and justification for a Sepa-
rate law school for Negroes was
the actual establishment Of a sepa-
rate school completely equal, and
that, unless a school was actually
and in operation. the
writ Of mandamus should be is
sued, The Assistant Attorney Cen
eral insisted that they were going
to establish = separate law school,
which statement was backed up
by the Attorney General, who said
that he would fight until the end
Of the breath in his body to main
tain the system Of segregation"
The highly dsbatabls order is
sued by Judge Archer stated,
the Law school for legal
training substantially equivalent 60
that offered at the University Of
Texas has now been made avail
able to the relator =. land that)

LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY, the traditional
time of Republican celebration, has this year
been designated as the auSpiciOuS beginning
for the 1916 Republican drive to regain con-
troll of Congress.
The move was welcomed spontaneously by
Party organizations. At least Is states al
ready have announced programs for the Day
Responses to the suggestion sent out by
the National Committee headquarters indi-
cate that man, states will have at least one
Lincoln Day affair in each Congressional Dis
trlct. A numb. are planning places of honor
and special features for Young Republicans
and Veteran9. 80 Republican clubs are
Joining in 1oleheartedly and women's or
ganizations are far cut in front with special
meeting plans.
Chairman BroWnell said: An unpreced-
ented outpouring of Republicans and their
friends to various Party affairs on LincOlnS
Day would inspire the rank and file of our
Party with enthusiasm to redOuble their eff
forts until victory is ours in November"
National headquarters is already busy
with arrangements. Special brOadcasts, spe-
cial speakers, publicity and themes of the
campaign are included Ben Whtehurst,
speakers bureau chief, already has booked
several engagements and offers the bureaus
services for any gathering.
Emphasis is being placed on the district
and county meetings this year in order that
the celebration may serve as a real cam
pagn "kick-0ff" :"
With widespread indications that a ma
iority Of veterans have registered or will
register as Republicans for the fall cleo
tiOns and with the clean sweep Of all special
Congressional elections held in 1915 as a
gudepost, the early 1916 beginning is con-
sidered essential.

FOR ALONG TINE oil mon

FOR A LON(I LIME OH men nave sad
that rigid and artificial price policies to-
ward the oil industry were barrier to nor
NAL development. 1t has remained for Dep
uty Petroleum Administrators Ralph Davies
to jolt the Office Of Price Administration by
declaring that price ceilings ON oil products
are endangeling the industry and stating
that OIL supplies are large enough to warrant
Immediate removal of ceilings. He cited a
threatened keroSenSe shortage as an example
of how price ceilings may throw oil produc-
tiOn out of balance. The low price of kero-
Sene, he said, prompts companies to diminish
kerosene production in favor Of more profit
able gasoline production.
Looking farther into the future, Mr.. Da-
vies said the oil industry should be assured
of good price for crude oil at all times. The
price must be high enough, he said, that even
a small discovery will produce more than a
moderate" return. He pointed out that the
risks in oil investment are great and the re-
turns should be commensurate. When the
time comes that American oil production
needs protection from foreign oil producers,
he said, import duties should be established
high enough to assume a good crude price.
but not so high as to allow American oil COM
panieS to become Inefficient.
Mr. Davies remarks are refreshing in
their clarity and their SOundneSS. If such
policies were adopted by government toward
oil and other industries, our nation W0uld be
on its road to reconverSion and recovery
from war decentralization before we knew if
ONE OF THE PRINCIPAL TOPICS Of
conversation today is rec0nlcrSion and the

BY EDWARD W. BEATTIE

LippStadt, Germany, Sept. IT,. (UP)-From the town of Lippstadt down to the Rhine the Ruhr slopes gently over rolling, forested hills and titled valleys which at first glance look as though the land had always been at peace.
 Fields are well kept, the forests are thick and green and the hay stacks are fat and yellow. Every where from behind the hills forests of tall brick chimneys or spidery steel scaffolding mark the mine- shafts of the great Ruhr coalheld.
 The Autobahn down to the Rhine runs for a while, smooth and un- touched, the bridges intact and even the old road signs unscathed. Then come the bridges in long succession which the Germans blasted in 8 last effort of resistance.
 With the bridges come the wrecked cities which one poured coal and steel into the industries Of an entire continent.
 Today the Ruhr lies prostrate like giant racked with plague-and in almost exact proportion to its ills Germany and Europe suffer.
 Near this town-it was on the first of April, 1945, units of the American First and Ninth armies met in what General Dwight D. Eisenhower has called "the largest double envelopment in history" With the collapse of the Ruhr
