must be determined by the law
yers most directly connected with
the case. 1t may or may not be
feasible depending on the pros
poets of winning the appeal, and
also on the prospects of obtaining
the money with which to carry out
the appeal. We hope a way out can
be found so that this will be pos
sible. The conduct of the bus driv-
er as testified by the witnesses
was most vulgar and provoking,
and such that a sensitive individ-
ual, handicapped by a previous
physical injury, like Hamlet,
could easily incur serious mental
complications.

The record of the NAACP
clearly shows that in the field
Of higher education II is OPP
posed 10 race segregation and
discrimination. II has made
and is making valiant fights
against these twin evils.
In the Gaines case, involv-
ing the question Of the adj

1888. the principle that where
a course is offered TO white
students in state school but
not 10 colored students in the
corresponding colored state
institution. the state is bound
10 furnish a colored student
within It's borders facilities
for such an education SUBJ

In the Ada Sipuel Fisher
case. involving the question
OF the admission of Mrs.

modification requires a
state 10 afford such facili-
ties az the time the colored
student makes application
and not compel the colored
student 10 wait months or
years for the establishment
of the desired course.
The NAACP is now en-
gagged in the Fisher case, in
a direct assault upon segre-
