State Law Tells Neqro
To Ask Segregation,
Supreme Court Told

The Supreme Court had under
advisement today plea to outlaw
State law described as requiring
a colored person "to ask that he be
segregated" in getting higher edu-
cation.
That summary of an Oklahoma
statute was offered in oral argument
yesterday by Thurgood Marshall,
counsel for Miss Ada Lois Sipuel,
a Negro girl, who claimed she was
denied admission to the University
of Oklahoma Law School.
Dean Maurice H. Merrill Of the
law school and Assistant Attorney
General Fred Hansen Of Oklahoma
informed the court the State con-
stitution and statutes ban Negroes
from white schools but assure sepa-
rate but equal educational facilities
for both races"
They said they felt sure the State
Board of Regents for Higher Edu-
action would have acted with rea-
sonable promptness in establishing
law school elsewhere for Miss
Sipuel if she had applied for it.
Such facilities might have been
set up at Langston University, an
Oklahoma institution for Negro
students, but 1--WE believe Miss Sipuel
would rather 60 to white school"
Mr.. Hanson declared.
Mr.. Marshall, New York Negro
attorney who will take part in oral
arguments before the Supreme
Court next week. on the racial re-
strictive property covenant issue,
concluded yesterdays argument by
declaring:
1.-THE State Of Oklahoma pitches
it's whole case on the proposition
that the petitioner should have
written letter of request and then
should have waited for a separate
law school to be setup. We hold
that the State of Oklahoma is
bound by the Fourteenth Amend
ment to the United States Consti-
tuition not only to provide equality
of education for Miss Sipuel but
to admit her to the University Of
Oklahoma Law School,"
The American Civil Liberties
Union intervened in the case yes
terday as a friend of the court"
A brief supporting Miss Sipuel's
position was filed by Arthur Garfield
Hays, general counsel Of the civil
liberties group, and was supported
by Prof. Walter Gelhorn Of Columbia
University Law School and Osmond
K. Fraenkel of the New York bar.

 Work 10 Siari Tomorrow;

Tomorrow is work day at the Eagle River scout camp, About 25 men have volunteered 10 go out in the morning and spend the day getting the camp in shape, accord ing to Jud Whittier Boy Scout camping chairman
 Last night a volunteer crew loaded tent floors and cots on the barge and tonight Sea Scouts, with their skipper Darrell Naish will make a midnight run to Eagle River with the scow.
 The barge will be ready to un- load any time after ' o'clock to- morrow morning, Whittier reports, and men are asked to go 10 the camp as early as possible. Work to be done includes unloading of the barge and setting up of tent floors, patching of roofs and screens, gen. cral cleanup of the stove and kit chen. and digging of a latrine pit.
 Saturdays crew will complete as much of this work as possible, the chairman said, with more men go- ing out Sunday to finish up. Bert McDowel, chairman for the Girl Scout committee, is furnishing coffee to the volunteer workers, each of whom should take his own lunch and cup.
 Picks and shovels are oeing sent out on the barge tonight, and it will not be necessary for anyone to take more.
