JAU-ADC Halls T.. s. Decision
On Restrictive Covenants

milestone in the progress of all
minority groups toward attain
ment of their civil rights objective.
The JACL, it was recalled, had en-
tered a friend-of -thc-court brief in
the four Negro covenants cases
which were argued last January
and upon which decisions were ar
rived at last May 8. It was pointed
out that the JACL had gone even
further by urging the Supreme
Court in separate brief to review
two California cases, involving Anne
ricans of Chinese and Korean
ancestry, as illustrations of how the
enforcement of racial deeds affect
minorities other than those of Ne
gro birth.
Although those two Call1ornia
cases were not argued before the
court, the tribunals attention was
called to these litigations. The ia
CT brief was also cited by one of
the counsel in the Negro cases to
demonstrate how covenants are
used against World War II veterans
because of their race or color. The
arguments of the JACL stressed the
pernicious effects of these housing
agreements and the hurt caused by
the courts upholding these res
trictive pacts.
The brief said that while one
of the reasons often advanced by
the military for the evacuation
is that the Japanese lived by them
selves i'm "clannish Little TOkyOs,"
the increasing resent by white
owners to put property Under COW
enants had more than ever be-
for forced the Japanese to Little
TokyOize" themselves. The Little
TOkyos would not have reappear-
ed had not potent and power
full force worked against it. That
force was the race restrictive
covenant" the JACL brief declar-
ed
The fours cases decided last May
8 involved only Negroes, but the
rulings we're broad enough to in
clude all minorities who are sub
jected to the determinations Great
ed by these privste racial contracts.

TOP COURT
BACKS RULING
ON COVENANTS

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 12-
The United States Supreme Court
last Monday issued two specific
orders to support its ruling of last
week that racial covenants cannot
be enforced.
The high tribunal directed the
California supreme court to recon-
slider rulings which upheld evic-
ton of D. Amer and Vim Kim, of
Korean and Chinese descent, from
a Los Angeles area reserved for
"Caucasians".
1t also fatty reversed an Ohio
supreme court order requiring
trustees of the Monroe Avenue

vacate covenanted property they
had acquired.

PARIS, Nov. 15.-Canada de-
manded today that the United
Nations order Jews and Arabs to
negotiate an immediate armistice
in Palestine.
Gen. A. G. L. McNaughton offered
a new resolution to the Security
Council following closely suggestions
of Acting Mediator Ralph Bunche
The Canadian draft calls the Pal
estine situation a threat to peace.
It said an armistice is necessary

a final settlement.
The resolution called on the Jews
and Arabs to negotiate either dl-
rectly or through DR.. Bunche to set
up permanent armistice demarca-
ton lines. 1t asked for withdrawal
and reduction of Israeli and Arab
troops to maintain the armistice.
United States Shows Interest.
Informed circles said the United
States has shown great interest in
the original Bunche proposal to
replace the truce with an armistice.
These sources said American dele
CATION members talked with Israeli
and some Arab delegates.
The Generals Assembly 58-nation
Political Committee spent its first
half hour arguing whether to begin
debate on political questions in Pal
estine.
Gen. McNaughton, in the lima
ton Security Council, said he con-
ferred with Belgium and France.
He is known also to have consulted
the United States and Britain. The
Council invited representatives OF
Israel, Egypt and Lebanon to the
meeting.
Faris Ely Khouri of Syria told the
Council the Jews got arms and
munitions from various places in
violation of the truce. He said the
Jews now have four destroyers in

KINGSTON. N. Y, Nov. 15,-A
State Supreme Court justice today
upheld as constitutional the prac-
tice in New York of releasisg public
school children from classes for
religious training.
Justice Roscoe v. Ellsworth held
that the States released time
programs cannot be CONDEMNED
upon a finding that they are in aid
of religion
He dismissed as failing to show
facts sufficient for a cause of action
a petition of Joseph Lewis Of North
Salem, N. Y, president of the Free

asked that the States released time
system be halted.
Justice Ellsworth said that
United States Supreme Court de-
cision of last March seems clearly
to hold that released time IS con-
stitutional unless characterized by
elements rendering it otherwise
and that the New York system Il

Work on Ships Diverted
To Nova Scotiu Port
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-City
and union officials began con-
ferences today in an effort to
settle a waterfront strike which
has paralyzed the East Coasts
big ports and which spread today
to Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Il am going to give the Mayor
the picture up to date" said Joseph
P. Ryan, president of the AFL In
ternational Longshoremen's Associ-

The ODwyer-Ryan talks-insti-
tuted after the Mayor few home
from an interrupted California va
cation-is concerned particularly
with the 15,000-odd longshoremen
in the port of New York. 1t was
expected, however. that any settle
ment reached also would end the
six-day -old strike in other East
Coast ports.
Spread of the stoppage to Hall
fax meant closing that port to trans
Atlantic liners diverted there since
the East Coast walkout began.
j. j. Campbell, president OF the
Halifax Longshoremen's Association,
AFL, announced that the ports 1000
stevedores have ceased to work on
diverted vessels.

said.
Mr.. Campbell added, however. that
the dock workers had decided to
finish work on the liner Mauretania
and were considering doing the same
on three other diverted ships.

But, Mr.. Campbell said, I'VE will
handle no more diverted ships. We
do intend to continue to handle all
ships regularly scheduled to call at
