High Court to Rule Whether
Lower Courts Can Enforce
Covenants by IniunctiOns

IN all four cases.
Other arguments urged by the
st. Louis Civil Liberties Union
may be summarized as follows:
O The Missouri Supreme Court
misinterpreted and misapplied fed
cral cases relating to civil rights.
In the case of Corrigan VS.. Buckley,
which arose in the District of
Columbia. the United States Su-
preme Court decided only that
restrictive covenants in themselves
are not unconstitutional and that
the question of whether the lower
courts had deprived Helen Curtis
Jordan and Irene Corrigan of their
liberty and property without due
process Of law was not before the
court.
O The Missouri Supreme Court
did not rely on Buckley vs.. Corri-
gan hut concluded that it was
obliged to enforce the covenant by
the constitutional guarantees. both
federal and state. that all persons
shall have access to the courts.
But the constitutional provision
respecting access to the courts
merely secures to citizens Of one
state the right to resort to the
courts of another equal to the citi-
zens Of the latter state.
O The Missouri Supreme Court
failed to recognize that the action
of a state court in enforcing re-
strictive covenants by injunction or
any other means is indisputable
state action.
o The United States Supreme
Court has repeatedly ruled that
lower court decisions can he state
action IN violation Of the Four
teenth Amendment.
o Since enforcement of a re-
Strictive covenant by state court
. is state action within the purview
I of the Fourteenth Amendment, it
/ is such state action as is forbidden
by that amendment.
The case of Buchanan VS..
Marley is cited. In that case the
supreme Court held invalid a
/ Louisville (kentucky) ordinance
providing that if Il majority of
the residents of a city block we're
white, the entire block would be
white. and vice versa.
Restrictive covenants. >ystemat,
lcally employed to hold colcreC
people in rundown, over populated
areas, accomplish the same pur,
poses rs coming ordinances. except
that when covenants are used tn,
situation cannot be corrected hv {
vote Of the people.
1t appears logical that if a stat,
cannot restrict the equal right o.
colored people TO own and occur,
property, private individuals Shout,
not he allowed to do so by judicia
enforcement of restrictive cove
/ nants, regardless of their right L
make such agreements.

will be very much If the Supreme Court rules against
them the lot of the Negro will not be very much improved
because of the ruling alone But greater opportunity will
be insured not only for Negroes but for all Americans to

BY Louis Lautier

The basic issue IN the tour
racial restrictive covenant
cases which the United States
Supreme Court has agreed to
review-and which will be
rgued in December - is
whether the courts should enforce
such agreements by injunctions.
A number of other issues are
raised, but if the Supreme Court
should hold that judicial enforce
ment of such covenants is state
action forbidden by the due process
clause of the Fourteenth Amend
ment the makers Of such agree
ments would be without remedy.
The St. Louis Civil Liberties
union filed brief, as amicus curiae,
in support Of the petition for a
review of the decision of the Mis-
souri, Supreme Court in the case of
Mr.. and Mrs. J. d. Shelley and
Josephine Fitzgerald against Mr..
and Mrs. Louis Kraemer, in which IA
number of issues are discussed.
The Shelleys on Aug. II. 1915,
purchased for $3.50 piece of
property on Labadie Ave. in ST.
Louis. The property was COW
cred by a restrictive covenant
providing that the premises shall
not be occupied by any person
not Of the Caucasian race"
The Kraemers applied for an in
junction in the state courts against
the Shelleys' occupancy and de
manded that title be Invested OF
them. The Circuit Court of St
Louis held the covenant invalid, but
the Missouri Supreme Court re
versed the decision, holding that the
restrictions violated neither tn,
state nor federal constitution, MOI
any federal statute.
In its opinion the Missouri Su
preme Court said:
The chancellor found the Ne
gro population in st. Louis has
greatly expanded in recent years.
and now numbers in excess Of
100. 900; and that some of the
sections in which Negroes live
are OVercrow ded, which is detri-
mental to their moral and ply

to the entire community. Thei
correction should Strikingly cha
lenge both governmental an
private leadership. 1t is tragic tina
such conditions seem to hav

written and said on the subjet

This statement was interprete
by the St. Louis Civil Libertit
Union as belief on the part {
the Missouri Court that racii
restrictive covenants are again,

A DELICATE SUBJECT

A group of paralyzed married
veterans in Veterans administra-
ton hospitals has asked the VA
to set up clinic in which veterans
unable to have children Of their
wives through normal intercourse
may produce test tube" babies
through means of artificial insemi-

The VA has turned the proposal
down on the grounds that the prob
lem does not come within the scope
Of its hospital care and treatment
program and that in conducting
such a clinic it would become in
volved in social, religious and legal
questions.
Instead the VA has agreed to
set up a project which will study

FrancesCatti's Violin Recital
Is One of Seasons Best
By Alice Eversmon

Zinc Francescatti, in his violin
recital last night, filed Constitution
Hall with some of the most beauti-
full sound ever to ring through the
auditorium. 1t was playing that
grew in eloquence, rather than
diminished, as the program went
along and yet hardly touched on
the inexhaustible resources of the
artist. For the eminent French vio-
linist has a vitality that permeates
everything he does and puts him
in a class by himself. His collabo-
rator at the piano was Artur Bal
sam, whose performance was OF the
virtuoso order throughout.
It would seem, when listening to
Francescatti, that the violin play
ing of the last years has become
oyer-refined and SO lost, in a meas
ure, its Identification with the hu-
man emotions it should convey. This
does not mean to say that Fran
cescatti's playing is not refined in
the accepted meaning of the WORD,
but rather that it radiates so much
life as to make some other styles
appear anemic. 1t is full blooded,
pulsing and richly toned.
He did rot have the sized audience
he deserved. This may be due to
the fact that, in sense, he is a
newcomer although he has appeared
here several times. He is v1ollnlst
who can revel in the beauty of tone
he possesses, as he did in the un-
accompanied Bach "Chaconne" for
instance, and yet dazzle with the
impeccable f1uency of his technique.
The "Chaconne" is his number, for
he has the elevated studiness neces-
sary to give it's noble structure b)dy
while dashing off its taxing pas
sages with consummate ease.
The only violinist to have possibly
inherited the Paganiri tradition,
since his father studied with Paga-
minis only pupil, he has security
and brilliance just a little differ
ent from other virtuosi. They
we're given display in his own ar
rangement of Paganini's Il Palpiti." :"
based on the air from RosSini's
opera "Tancredi. These variations
contain many of the technical dis
coveries which Pajanini guarded 50
iealously that few of his works, i'll
cluding Il Palpiti," were published
during his lifetime. The absolute
purity of Francescatti's intonation
in all bravura effects and the con-
centrated firmness of his tone with
it's ringing quality, varied not one
iota in the performance of this vir-
tuoso work and OF the equally
difficult "Tzigane" by Ravel earlier
in the program.

less sympathetically contrived for
the violin than Kreisler's "Scherzo-
Caprice" for the instrument alone,
his Caprice Viennois" and Tam
bourin Chinois." These familiar
numbers Francescatti played superb
ly and with more artistic polish
than is ordinarily accorded them.
But every work on the list was
played impressively, the strong and
supple bow arm and fleet, firm fin
gers directed by a musical intelli-
gsnce of high, artistic standards

The second half of the recita.
gave more expansion in style to the
artist than did the opening number
Faure's Sonata in A major, op. 49,
1t bears the authentic Faure stamp
of graceful flowing line, of serene
rather sad mood and of interesting
if not astounding invention. Re-
volving within a set boundary as it
does, it puts limitations on the ex-
pressiveness of the instrument eX-
cept in the Allegro Vivace. Com
pared with the sonatas from COM
posers following Faure, its lack
of vigor is apparent although there
are places of excellent writing for
the string instrument and splendid
ones for the piano.

of Faure, was fitting sequence to
