Texas Rejects Plea
The efforts of Heman Marion
Sweat to gain admission to the
law school of the University of
Texas were rejected by the state
Supreme Court, which refused to
grant writ Of error on Septem-
Der 90
Both the trial court and the
Circuit Court Of Appeals in Texas
have denied the NAACP's conten-
ton that the segregation laws of
Texas are invalid and that the
law school set up by Texas for
Negro students is unequal. Both
courts have refused to order the
University of Texas to admit
Sweat to its law school.
NAACP attorneys have indicat-
ed that a re-argument of the pet
ition for a writ of error before
the Supreme Court of Texas
would be sought but that if the
writ is denied at that time, the
case would then be headed for
the United States Supreme Court,

that spoke "eloquently" of his at
titude toward Negroes. He talked
briefly with the group about his
civil rights proposals and other
measures vital to the welfare Of
all Americans. According to
Payne, Mr.. Truman expressed re
greet that the pressure of time pro-
hibited a more prolonged discus
sion of the campaign issues with
the delegation.
Upon the arrival of the Presi-
dents special in Bakersfield, Cal
ifornia, it was met by a large
delegation of Negroes. Payne a
lighted an told them: There are
many of us who are old-fashion-
ed enough to believe the greatest
phenomena is the creation of man
in the image of his Maker which
makes the dignity of every hui
man being sacred"
He said that no one realizes
this more fully than President
Truman, who supports this belief
IN his constant and unreserved
struggle for the rights of all men.
He reminded his audience that
this struggle has turned from the
President the support of some
Americans who now seek to
cause his defeat. He urged finan-
cial support for the President
campaign and stated. Truman
fully realizes that he can be vic
torious in the coming election
only with the support of Negroes.
1t is our task to see to it that he
gets this support"
As official campaign fund rails
err for the National Committe on
the West Coast, Payne reported
that the San Francisco and Oak
land area made campaign contri-
buttons in excess of $4,000 for the
Truman reelection campaign on
the day he initiated his financial
drive. He said this excellent
showing came about largely as a

students to attend the same school
or to be taught together could not
be used to deny admission of G.
w. McLaurin to the graduate
school of the University of Okla
homa.
Mr. McLaurin, a retired pro-
fessor of Langston University,
Oklahoma, applied for graduate
work leading to doctor of philo-
sophy degree in January of this
year He was denied admission
solely because of his race and
color.
In August, NAACP lawyers fill
ed an action in the federal court
in Oklahoma City seeking a de-
claratory judgment and an in
junction alleging that the segre-
cation statutes of Oklahoma were
unconstitutional as in violation of
the l4th Amendment to the U. S.
Constitution because they depriv-
ed Mr.. McLaurin of the type of
education offered to white stu
dents by the State of Oklahoma.
A preliminary hearing was held
on August % and the case was
taken under advisement by the
court. The decision of the court
/ rendered through U. S. Circuit
Judge Murrah, made a declara-
ton Of law that 'the state is UNI
der the constitutional duty to pro-
vide this plaintiff with the educa-
ton he seeks as soon as it does
for applicants of any OF er
group Judge Murrah speaking
for the entire court also stated:
The Court further holds that in
so far as the statutes Of the State
of Oklahoma drawn in issue here
deny or deprive this plaintiff of
admission to the University of
Oklahoma for the purpose of pur-
suing the course he seeks to pur-
sue there, they are unconstitu-
tional and void"
However. the court, while de-
claring the law, refused to grant
an injunction which would COM
pei the admission of McLaurin,
leaving the matter up to the State
of Oklahoma. The court retained
jurisdiction of the case with full
power to act and provided that
either party may apply for fur
ther relief consistent with the
pleadings in the case
Mr. McLaurin and the NAACP
attorneys representing him, Mr.
Marshall and Amos Hall of Tul-
sa, Oklahoma, Immediately de-
clared their intention to return
to the University of Oklahoma
and to insist that McLaurin be
admitted Immediately If he is
not admitted, further proceedings
viii be started to enforce the de-
claration of law issued by the
Court and to compel his admiss-
ion this semester, Mr. Marshall
said.
