Washington, d C.-The United
States Supreme Court last week
was requested to review the de-
cisiop of the Supreme Court OF
Oklahoma affirming the decision
of the lower court in refusing W
issue a writ of mandamus COM
pelIng the admission OF a quar-
fled Negro to the law school oil
abe University of Oklahoma.
On January 10, 1916, Ada Lois
.SipueI. a graduate of Langstoh
University in Oklahoma applied
for admission to the law school OIL
Inc University of Oklahoma. her
.annlication was refused solely be-
cause of her race or color. Prior
40 the trial of the case, on July
@. 1916, an agreed statement OF
facts was filed whereby the state
of Oklahoma admitted that Miss
.Sipuel possessed all of the aca-
.demic and moral qualifications
for admission but was refused be-
cause of the laws of Oklahoma
requiring segregated schools. The
agreed statement also admitted
that unless Miss Sipuel received
her law training within the state
of Oklahoma she would be seri-
-ously handicapped in the practice
of law. The state of Oklahoma
had mol made any provision for
legal training for Negroes within
the state. but relied on alleged
out of state scholarships and the
fact that Miss Sipuel had not re-
quested them to establish Jim
Grow law school.
The writ of mandamus was re-
fused by the Judge of the District
Court of Cleveland County, Okla
homa, on July 9, 1916; motion for
a new trial was denied on July
"a, 1916 and the case was appealed
to the Supreme Court of Oklaho-
ma.
That court on April 30, l947,
affirmed the judgment of the low
er court The petition to the Uni
ted States Supreme Court request
ing a witt of certiorari to review
che decision of the Supreme Court
of Oklahoma contends that there
is no material difference whatso-
ever In either the law or the
facts between this case and the

Suspension In
Pistol Play

Memphis, Tenn.-The Board
of Education melted out a 80
day suspension last week to
A. J. Hayes, principal of a Ne
gro High School for the acct
dental shooting of student in
the school building.
Mr.. Hayes said he fired his
pistol into a stair landing floor
to frighten student providers in
a classroom. The providers es-
capped but the bullet slightly
wounded a student bystander.
The suspension was handed
down because Mr.. Hayes fired
the pistol on school property.
1T should be pointed out"
the School Board said "That
the principals and teachers of
schools are not authorized to
have or to carry guns around
school property.
such practice is not con-
ducive to good discipline and
sound. sane public policy. II
should not be tolerated under
any condition. If and when pro-
lection is needed, the police
department should be called.

STUDENTS
Win STRIKE

Removal of restrictions against
the girls and boys mingling on
the campus also figured in the
settlement, as did recommended
ton by the trustees that joint
committee representing students
and faculty members work out
plan for a student governing body.
Mason said the board directed
Dean Scott to make public his
reason for resigning. Settlement
of any confusion that seems to
result from any influence than
students can not be depended on,
the dean was quoted as his reas-
on, Il would hardly feel we'll,
thinking that students are afraid
of me in my official position.
From President E. c. Mcleod
came a commentator for the
manner in which the students
conducted themselves during the
strike.
So the strike of near GOO stud
ents on the campus of Wiley Col
lege is over and students are
back in their classes. Unless it
had been settled as it was, some
shocking things were to be dis
closed that would have caused
somebody to run for hiding

John Phillips, parliamentary sec

"We are not opposing nationali-

see that the terms of the bill do
not cause any delay in providing
electricity to rural areas. There are
enormous shortages of materials
and labor. The responsibility for
carrying out the plan lies with the
electric companies and depends also
on the cooperation of the farmers.
But as to any political issue, the

Rural EIecirificatioI,
Speeded in Britain
Despite Shortages
BY TIE Assoeiofsd Press

LONDON, May 31.-In spite of
the recent critical shortage Of elec-
tric power and fears that it may
be even worse next winter, Great
Britain is developing a fiye-year
rural electrification program to
modernize 10000 farms.
Assurances have been given that
the Labor governments program
for natlonalizing electric power will
not interfere with the rural eIac-
trification scheme. This calls for
providing current for lighting and
labor-saving appliances to $4,000
farms in the first year. 1880 in
the second, $4,000 in the third. 30
GOO IN the fourth and $1,000 in the
fifth.
The total cost, to be borne by cleo
tr1c power companies and the farm
ers who are benefited, will be about.
S288,000,000. New rural extensions
will transmit 10000 horsepower
through 100000 miles of transmits
sion lines.
Production Is Aim.
Benlnd the program for bringing
electricity to Britains picturesque
but often primitive farm homes is
the need to stimulate agricultural
production. The shortage of farm
labor Is one of Britains most press
ing problems, and out-of-date liv-
Ing conditions In cottages that fire.
ouentiy are centuries old is said to
be keeping thousands of families
from the SOIL Greater efficiency in
1arm operation also is expected to
result from the introduction of cleo
tric power and appliances.
Although the plan requires the
cooperation of 10 government de-
partments, it will not cost the
taxpayers a penny. Power COM
panies will provide the transmits
sion lines and the farmers the
wiring and equipment in their homes
and barns.
To implement the project and
to meet so per cent postwar in

power, Britain is building % new
generating stations-part of an
