To which nine out of every ten

Throughout the tour, l have
run into only one unpaid prose-
lyte who was genuinely in ia
vor of Dewey. Reason: He has
been Investigated in the royalty

OF course, met a lot of gloom.
In Chicago and Pittsburgh it was
thick enough to cut with a dull
razor blade. Not that Negro vot-
erS weren't in the Truman col
umn, but they just believed that
Dewey was in.
However, it is highly prob
able that the Negro vote in I'LL
nOis, Indiana, Missouri, Ohio,
and Pennsylvania may assure
the election of Truman.
1t is generally believed now
that HIST will carry the entire
south, except possibly Virginia
With some $40 southern votes IN

pick up another 100 in the north
and west. This would assure vic
tory with a small margin.
But win or lose, the Negro feels
that his vote for Truman is a
cinch to promote the best inter
est of Negroes. Even if the presi-
dent does not win, their vote for
him will be an important token
of our appreciation for his civil
rights stand, and it will prove
that Negroes stand by their real
friends.
Also, Negro voters know that

BY GEORGE GREGORY


DETROIT CAMP - The Ne
gro vote in the pivotal states may
assure victory for Truman.
That Negroes throughout the
north are going to turn in big
vote for the first president to
champion civil rights is no longer
debatable. The only question now
is the weight that vote will carry
in determining the election out
come.
A few weeks ago my boss, the
director of AMP, gave me the
rowing assignment Of sampling
Negro opinion in the big cities on
the presidential candidates. Leav-
ing Chicago three weeks ago, l
have visited St. Paul, Kansas
City, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Co
lumbus, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia,
New York, Cleveland, Indianapo-
lis, and this city, Detroit Every
where, the Negro in the streets,
the little man, who appreciates
Truman's courageous stand on
civil rights more than he knows
how to express it in words, is
pulling with all his heart for
HIST.
During this jaunt, l have talked
with well over 200 Negroes in all
walks of life-leaders and labor
ers. And | have heard more than
a score express themselves on
the presidential issue in forums.
Also, have heard the hearty ap-
plause of thousands of pro-Tru-
man speakers. | haven't the
slightest doubt that eight Negro
voters out of ten will cast their
ballots for President Truman.
Now l make no pretenSe that
my poll results are infaIlible.
My sample was small and my
technique unOrthOdOx, but be-
lieve l have senSed how the
vast majority Of Negroes feel
today.
In making the study, l didn't
follow the pollsters' usual pattern
of asking the interviewer how he
would vote if he were casting his
ballot now Instead, l made IT
very informal. First, l asked the
intervlewee how to get to John
r street or something of the sort.
Then | talked with him or her
about the weather. Finally, |
said rather casually, Everybody
is talking about the election"
The interviewer, usually then
asked me how l thought It would
come out. My answer was al

tainly clear" she said, that I
would not obtain a legal educa-
ton" in this school.
A petition to rectify the situa-
ton was denied by the supreme
court because the question Of es-
tablishing such a school was not
presented in the original case.
Despite subsequent testimony by
legal experts that the special
school was inadequate, her adj
mission to the university was
again denied in August, she said.
Refuting opinions that "disas-
ter" would result from lifting Of
discrimination regulations, Sum-
merfield cited the successful ex-
periences at the state universities
in Maryland and West Virginia.
He said, Beyond financial and
educational consideration, the sys-
tenn of educational segregation in
the south is degrading and OBJ
structs the progress Of civil rights.
| am certain that education is one
field in which we are occasionally
prone to do things which might
make other nations question our
sincerity in protesting democratic
ideals"
With a positive tone of aSsur-
ance the young white Texan said,
Many Texans still find ways to
rationalize their preiudices, but
the university students on a
whole are ready for admission Of
Negoes to the University Of Texas.
A constitutional amendment or a
court decision would permit IT,"
he explained.
Texas Can't Afford Separate
Schools
TO be consistent in its separate
but equal policy" Summerfield
asserted that the state must e.
tablish schools of medicine, den
tistry, pharmacy, mining. engi-
neering, library science. social
work and adequate graduate
work for Negroes. Even Texas"
he added, "a phenomenally rich
state, cannot afford" such a pro-
gram, but nothing less would
meet the legal requirements"

Summerfield, who spoke after
Mrs. Ada Lois Sipuel Fisher in a
discussion of equal educational
opportunities, said the unsucess-
full attempt Of Herman Marion
Sweat, a Houston Negro, to enter
the university law school in l946
focused attention on educational
segregation in his state. No one
can deny that inequalities exist
between the university's law
school and the law school for Ne
groes which holds classes in a
basement" he said.
Will Be An Old Woman
Mrs. Fisher, who has been re-
peatedly denied admission to the
law school of Oklahoma univer-
sity because of Segregation against
Negroes, told the forum that it
seems she would be an old woman
before she could become a lawyer.
Her case has recently been ap-
pealed to the state supreme court
and will probably have to be TAX
en- to the United States supreme
court for a third time.
Prior to reviewing a brief his
tory of her attempts TO enter the
Oklahoma University law school,
the Langston University graduate
said, Il am not able to tell you
what | have done, but only able
to tell you what | have been I'M
able TO do. My decision to study
law and the "a months attempt to
enter the university law school
was tantamount TO a fight against
segregation"
She said she applied for admis-
sion in the law school on Jan. IS,
1916. University officials, she re-
called, admitted that | was quail
flied in every respect except one:
am a Negro. On being refused I
decided that | could not and
would not let the matter drop"
She said the United States Su-
preme court ordered the state to
provide her with legal education
in accordance with the equal-pro-
lection clause of the 18th amend
ment. The results she said was
a special school whipped up over
night for me" in the state capitol
