The city has provided the Ne
gro population with swimming

1t is fed by pumps, under the

ton as to whether the city would
have to admit Negroes to Barton's
Springs pool to swim with the
whites, under Judge Moore's de-
mand of equal pool facilities.
Still further, the University of
Texas, supported by public funds
with Negroes knocking at its door,
operates two pools, one for men
and the other for women students
If Negroes are admitted to the
University by court orders. en-
trance to the two pools might
