ON THE MATTER OF A NEGRO LAW SCHOOL
IN MISSISSIPPI

It's still highly debotobIe question as to whether
public opinion follows Judicial decision whether not
Judiciol decision follows public opinion Whatever ones
conclusions in the moter it appears now that both public
opinion and Judicial decision fovors much improvement
in higher education for Negroes in Mississippi
In the recent South Carolina the United District
Court while denying the plea of Negro enter the Low
school of the stote, did only condition that law
school be provided for Negroes of the stote
In line with this and less recent decisions, other
states of the deep south have oreody mode great steps
in providing higher education for Negro citizens In this
respect Lousono, Texos, North CoroIno have already
provided opportunity for the Negroes TO study low.
Thot higher education for Negroes in Mississippi is
vastly unequal point to obvious TO be matter of con-
tenton here Mississippi provides law school for white
students
Young Negroes in Mississippi wont, need and ore en-
titled TO be ube to study law we'll those of other so
They won't need and entitled to other opportunities
for higher education being provided for Negroes in
other southern states
Tokng the South Corono case and less recent cases
in states of the deep south it is apparent that public
opinion and Judicial decision fovors this view and Me-
groes Mississippi ought be forced to 90 into court
TO hove this view recognized in the state

most important, that the three

the American legations, in those
countries where the population is
predominantly colored.
Seeing is believing. One living
picture of people of different rae

than million words by an Am

A friend of mine who resides
in Calcutt, India, writes that she
like many others in many parts
of the world, is interested in what
the colored American really fac
es in America, but finds employ
ees of United States consulates
and embassies cooperative in pro-
vidfng such information depending
on the section of the United Stat
es from which they come.
For instance, she reports that
she finds clerks from the North
more inclined to cooperate in Civ
ing honest - go - goodness in
formation than those fro nthe
Southern part of the United Stat
es. She writes that a Yankee girl
clerk provided her with a book by
the late Benjamin. Brawley, but
that ane has to be very careful
in the way interest is manifested
in the plight of the colored Amer
lean to get the desired cooperat-
ion.

Intelligent citizens everywhere, seeing the need to

1t seems thot the right of the Negro to vote in South
Democratic Primories for Judicial opinion con-
cerned, should be now settled issue, and leaders of
Southern political though and opinion now best
served Democracy in the South, Democracy in America,
and World Democracy, by extending political encourage

In a resolution passed at the
last session of a two day meeting
here, the conferences board of re-
representatives. also expressed the
hope that other Southern States
balanced now in controversy abb
out voting legislation will abide
by the spirit of the South Carolina
decision.
Charges of communism, leveled
at the Conference by the House
Committee on Un-American Act
ivities, were denied last Friday by
DR.. Clark Foreman, president of
tie conference.
Following an all-day meeting
of the directors strictly adj
n1inistrative matters of no inter
est to the pubic" DR.. Foreman
said the conference was a group
to further Roosevelt Principals"
in the South.
The conference was recently
branded by the House Un-Amer-
lean Activities Committee as
Communist Front" organization.
DR.. Foreman said the charges
were made by the House Commit
tee without benefit of hearing
which the conference had request
ed repeatedly.
THE conference" DR.. Foreman
said, sis not Communist front.
1t stands for Roosevelt ideals and
is trying to carry on the tradit-
ions of the New Deal in the South.
"The group Of representatives
from 10 Southern States is con-
cerned with the problems of bull
ding a prosperous and more de-
mocratic life for all Southerners
and especially in raising the liv-
ing standards in health, education,
and housing"
DR.. James A Dombrowski, Me-
thodist minister of the gvroup,
said that conference committees
have now been organized in Vir-
ginia, North Carolina, Geargh,
Louisiana, Arkansas,
Tennessee, and the District of Col
u9nbia.
Announcement was made last
Friday night that James H. Shell
ton, Jr., a senior at Virginia I'm ,
ION University, has received
Cabot Trust Fellowship award
upon the recommendation of the
conference to wark on a study
of colored people in the political
life of Virginia.
Among the nineteen directors y
who attended the session were:l
DR.. Fronk P. Graham, president
of the University of North Car |,
DINA and honorary president of !,

to all parts of the world on an
integrated functioning basis.
Nothing in the world would pro
mote confidence in democracy more
than to have capable colorel Of
ficers and employees integrated
into our Legations all over the
world to sell Americ alto the small
Ter nations and darker peoples of
the world on the basis of the OPP
Grafton of the democracy way of
life as it affects the lives and
welfare of the minorities within
the United States.
If an open and fairminded color
ed American can look at America
and see hope for the colored peo-
pie of America, he can show that
hope to other darker people of
the world better than anyone else.
1t is upon such hope peace can be
built. None other. Absolutely none
other.
Faith is the one indispensable
foundation which must lie under
meath any structure if that sturc-
ture is to stand the storms, trials
and tribulations incident to the
building of betteh men and women
for a good one world.
In spite of all the food and mon
ey given to the destitute peoples
of the world; in spite of all the
protestations of America it is
striving for world democracy, the
feeling grows that it wants control
of the world by white men on the
basis of their being white alone.
More could be accomplished by
migrating capable, loyal colored
Americans on the basis of their
merit int oall our global operations
than by all the food, bombs on
those peoples. who in spite of
everything will not submit to a
way of life which permits anoth-
err to have his cake and eat it
to-.
Much of the hope for a better
world order based on justice to
all men, on a man to man basis,
depends upon the extent to which
our State Department makes it
self an agency just as much con-
cerned about humanity as a whole
as it is about trade expansion and
property rights of American alb
road, many of whom may be alb
road for the purpose of exploiting
the peoples and resources of 9TH
or lands for selfish purposes.
The attitude of America toward
colored Americans is indicative OF
what colored peoples all over the
world may expect as the KIND OF
one world these one world build
ers have in mind. The rest OF the
world must realize the futility of
making the goo dneighbor policy
actually work when it is built on
foundation minus the leavening
cornerstone of an integrated white
and colored setup.
There can be no peace in wor-
Id dominated by blacks. There can
be no peace in world dominated
by whites. Each must be part of |
that which is the master of his fate
and the captain of his soul, par
Elephants in a good neighbor pol
icy which is good for something |
. something that spells one for
all and all for one.

given over to police activities.
The report also calls for rear
rangement OF various police de-
partments. 1t would establish uni
form men into two bureaus, one
a regular uniformed body and the
ether soley to handle traffic. A
lieutenant would command each
group.
Those two departments would
work on two alternate shifts IN
stead o. on the present three
shifts. Those two shifts plus the
records bureau, which also would
be under a lieutenant, all would
come under the command or a
captain.
The detective bureau would op-
crate in two shifts. Each shnt
would be under d sergeant. Ine
entire bureau would be command
ed by a captain.
Increased police personnel also
was asked. The force would be IN
creased from Y men TO 10 per-
sons. Wage increases also were
suggested for all bit uniformed
officers whose pay would remain
at 5000 monthly.
Morgan's report also suggested
censorship OF all police news.
The CORNER FB1 agent in the
report declared that all intorma-
ton concerning a case should be
held strictly confidential unless
the police chief feels that it il
proper to give it to the public

The report also spoke OF I'm

officers. It recommended that a

Another recommendation would
prohibit drinking and gambling at
