Police Probe
Women Motive
In Shooting

Reginald Hopwood, 35 years old,
512 Carroll Ave-, who was shot
shortly before midnight Sunday,
June 2, in a st. Paul tavern, was
in such serious condition at Ancker
hospital Wednesday, that he was
unable to give police a coherent
account Of the cause Of the shoot
ing.
Meanwhile, police were holding
in custody Jimmy Smith, 513 W.
Central Ave-, who allegedly shot
Hopwood with a .38 caliber pistol
in Walkers tavern at Western and
Carroll, Sunday night. Although
detectives were seeking an uniden-
titled woman who may have been
the cause Of an argument leading
to the shooting, Smith had, up until
Tuesday, given no reason for walk
ing up to Hopwood in the tavern
and firing one bullet into his body.
After shooting Hopwood, who is
well known in the St. Paul COM
munity, Smith is said to have fed
from the tavern. Hopwood collaps-
ed to the floor.
Detectives cruising in a squad
car shortly after the shooting
spotted Smith at Western and
Rondo. As they leaped from the
car, the latter fed, and the de-
tectives fired three shots at him.
Later, police found Smith again
at Western and Rondo, this time
being beaten by members Of a large
crowd that had gathered. Accord
ing to reports, Smith had threaten
ed the crowd with his revolver.
Although Smith refused to give
a reason for the Hopwood shoot
ing, police, acting on information
obtained from other sources, were
seeking the woman,

In reversing the decision Of the
Virginia court, the Supreme Court
ruled that the Virginia segrega-
ton law imposed an undue burden
on interstate commerce.
Six judges agreed in principle
that the statute was invalid.
Justice Rutledge eOneurred in
the result. Separate eOncurring
opinions were written by Just
ice Hugo l. Black and Justice
Felix Frankfurter. The lone
dissenter was Justice Harold
H. Burton. Justice Robert H.
Jackson, who is the chief Ameri-
can prosecutor at the Nurem-
berg trials of war criminals,
took no part in the considera-
ton or decision Of the case.
The court adopted the principle
that state legislation is invalid If
it unduly burdens Commerce in
matters where uniformity is nee
essary-necessary in the consti-
tutional sense in accomplishing a
permitted purpose.
Applying this principle, Justice
Stanley F. Reed, who delivered the
courts opinion, said:
Change Necessary
"On appellants journey, the
statute required that she sit in
designated seats in Virginia.
Changes in seat designation might
be made at any time during the
journey when necessary or proper
for the comfort and convenience Of
passengers
This occurred in this instance.

Of placement Of Negro veterans.
SeabrOn said Tuesday: "A vet
eran may be interested In q par
ticular occupation, yet he may
not have the necessary aptitude
and ability to al the Job. The
Veterans Administration at

Reasonable Responsibility
"f a non-disabled veteran quail
ies for a job after he has been
tested, the Urban League Industrial
department will assume a reason

placing him in his work."
Seabron stated that the main
difference in the actual carrying
out Of the program, viii be that the
Veterans Administration assumes
direct responsibility for placing dis
abled veterans in jobs.

AS a result, Charles Blackburn

stranger that the wallet contained
$4,000 which he volunteered to
split il Mrs. Lewis would promise
not to tell anyone. He also said
that he needed a little money"

Was Told To Wait
Mrs. Lewis was told to go on
to a show and wait until pm,
when she would be contacted at
the new postoffice and given $700.
Before that time, Mrs. Lewis met
her sister, Myrtle Lewis, as she
was coming from work, and the
latter, after hearing the story, told
her she had been swindled.
One of the men is between 40 and
45 years old, five feet eleven inches
tall, with pimples on his skin. He
was wearing glasses, a blue suit,
gray hat, and black shoes. His
companion was very tall, thin, was
wearing a gray tweed suit, a gray
hat, and brown shoes.

tectives, issued warning Monday,
to all citizens about taking up with
strangers who accost them on the
street.
Anytime someone contacts you
and makes you believe you can get
something for nothing, get in touch
with the police Immediately"
Bernath also issued a warning
about picking up and drinking with
strangers in taverns and bars.
"It's dangerous to pick up
strangers in beer parlOrs and ia
verns. Every Sunday morning, the
police have at least half a dozen
cases involving people who have
picked up strangers, and ended up
losing their billfOlds."

To appraise the weight Of the
burden Of the Virginia statute on
interstate commerce, the court con-
sidered related statutes Of other
states as important in showing the
cumulative effects which make local
regulation impracticable.
Ten Demand JimcrO
AS argued by counsel for Mrs.
Morgan, the court pointed out that
eighteen states prohibit racial seq
regation on public carriers while
ten require separation on buses.
The Alabama jim-cro bus law ap-
plies specifically to interstate pas
sengers but excerpts interstate pas
sengers with through tickets from
non-jim GRO states.
After referring to the conflicting
definitions Of Negro and white
persons for purposes Of carrying
out bus Jim GRO laws, Justice Reed
said:
THE interferenees to inter-
state commerce which arise from
state regulations Of racial as
ISOLATION on interstate vehicles
has long been recognized. Such
regulation hampers freedom Of
choice in selecting aeeommOda-
ton. The recent changes in
transportation brought about by
the coming Of automobiles does
not seem Of great significance in
the problem. People Of all races
travel today more extensively
than in 1878 when this Court
first passed upon state regulation

across its boundaries, diverse
seating requirements for the
races in interstate journeys re-
suit.
"As there Is no federal act
dealing with the separation of
races in interstate transportation,
we must decide the validity of
this Virginia statute on the chal-
lenge that it interferes with com.
merce, as a matter of balance
between the exercise of the local
police power and the need for
national uniformity in the regu-
latiOns for interstate travel.
at seems clear to us that seat
ing arrangements for the differ
ent races in interstate motor
travel require a single, uniform
rule to promote and protect ma
tional travel. Consequently, we
hold the Virginia statute in con-
trOVersy invalid"
In affirming Mrs. Morgan's con
viction the Virginia Court Of Ap
peals said the statute was passed
in the exercise Of the states polict
power to avoid friction between thI
races. In commenting on this Jus,

had decided years ago shat &
