Brovo. Archbishop Ritter

That part of the American people which believes in prog
toward full democracy happy over the great display
of courage and conviction shown last Sunday by Roman
Catholic Archbishop Joseph +. Ritter of st. Louis.
Several weeks ago the high churchman had astOunded
Jim Crow ST. Louis with an edct ordering Negro high school
students admitted to previously alwhte schools He did
this because the schools which had served the Negro Catholics
badly overcrowded and could not accommodate the
youngsters seeking high school training.
There usual a loud howl from few parents of
the white children and protest organized and money
subscribed to employ attorneys to fight the admission of the
Negro students.
Bishop Ritter remained adamant and refused to be
coeced cowed into changing his ruling despite the pres
In ringing pastoral letter he advised the professors to
examine Catholicism and learn that it did not countenance
racial discrimination. He also warned that ne would brook
interference with his plans
The recacrant members of his church doubt had the
support of thousands of Protestant St. Lousans who per-
haps felt that the Archbshop demolition of school Jim Grow
threatened the oumoded system of separate public schools
in the Mound City.
Preate Ritter was no gutter. When parish members
threatened injunction proceedings he calmly though Vgor
ous threatened accommodation of any church member who
participated in such an effort.
When the st. Louis Archbishop stood up with manful
spirit against the misguided parents he struck blow for
decency democracy Christianity and the Catholic church
which was heard around the earth.

can select his own course of train
ing or study and pursue it as he
sees fit until he has used up all
his training benefits, but in the case
of disabled veteran the VA pre-
scribes his course Of study until
it considers him "rehabilitated."
The former training officer de-
clares that in the case of the dis
abled veteran, the VA should
prescribe a course for him which
will include study until the vet
eran attains his doctors degree
in other words, give him the best
possible tools that can be given in
order to enable him to compete
against other teachers for a job.
Only then, he claims, is he rehabih-
tated.
He charges that in the case of
many colored veterans this is not
being done but that many VA
advisers are taking the position
that the veteran is rehabilitated
when he is able to begin teaching
and that since he is qualified to
begin teaching when he earns his
bachelors degree the VA, except
in unusual cases, will not prescribe
him a course of study beyond that
point under Public Law l6.
When this was brought to the at
tention of the VA here, officials
scoffed at the idea of discrimination
and said all vets in such a case
would ordinarily be stopped at the
bachelor level because they would
be considered rehabilitated.
They further pointed out that il
the veteran wanted to continue his
training and get his masters OF
doctors degree he could very easily
do 80 by applying for the additional
training due him under the CT Bill

or a total of about $78 a month.
The difference of approximately
$27 a month means a hell of a lot
to a disabled person going to
school, the x-training officer en-
phasized.
He advises colored disabled
veterans to insist that their VA
counsellors draw up their train
ing programs so that they will be
trained to the very top of what
ever profession they enter and
urges that they hold out that pro-
gram be lined up under Public Law

Dear Joe
CLEAR AS MUD
BY JAMES l. HICKS

When is veteran rehabiltated?
That question has been raised in
Washington and since it involves
money as well as training it has
produced some rather interesting
answers.
The Veterans Administration
says veteran is rehabilitated
when his productivity is restored"
That sounds like u good answer
until you run into a specific case
and then the answer becomes about
as clear as mud.
A CASE IN POINT
A former training officer for the
Veterans Administration says that
often in the case Of disabled colored
veterans the VA counsellors do not
certify them for enough training
in order TO assure their rehabilita-
ton. He contends that a disabled
veteran training for a teachers job
should be given all the training
which he is eligible for up to and
including his doctors degree.
He cites an example:
Suppose a veteran had completed
three years of college training to-
ward a degree in education with
a view toward becoming a teacher
and became disabled after four
years service.
Under Public Law l6, he is eligi'
BILE for vocational rehabilitation as
disabled veteran, and based or
his period Of service, he is also eli
gible for IS months of training un'

On Cafe Incident

Editor:
| have received threats that !
would be framed" if | did not
withdraw my liquor license applica-
ton filed July IA, for one which
was revoked on June 81.
The unprovoked and senseless
fingernail file (Times said "knife")
attack which occurred in my cafe
Friday night was no doubt part
of the carrying out of the threats.
The nature Of the attack clearly
showed this.
T he assailant approached tn e
lunch counter (Times said "bOOth")
and asked a patron Erred Frazier,
81, 2808 Tenth st. So.), Whats
your story?"
What's yours, fellow" was
FraZier's return query. (Times
said Frazier told the man to mind
his own business.) Whereupon the
assailant took out a fingernail file
(Times said a knife) and quickly
drew the blunt weapon across the
patrons throat, cutting the skin,
then fled, showing that he was in
full possession Of his senses and
that the attack had been planned
in advance.
Working in cooperation with the
police, | questioned all who had
seen the assailant, and was able to
determine his name and address.
With this information, the police
arrested him. But the assailant has
refused to talk or explain his
action.
The threats and the uncivilized
attack are a preserving to force me
to give up my civil rights or be
driven out of business, to intimidate
Negro people so they will be kept
in their place." and to confuse the
general public as to the real is
