Oklahoma Refuses To Accept High Court Edict

MY 1/NAA>S
 NORMAN, Okla. tP)-The only Negro ever to attempt to enroll in the University of Oklahoma since it was founded in 1892 was to try again Monday - bolstered this time by a U. s. Supreme Court de- cision.
 She is Mrs Ada Lois Sipuel Fisher, g, of Chickasha, Okla, graduate of Langston university, the states only institution of high CT education for Negroes.
 Denied admission when she first sought to enroll in the university's law school two years ago, she ap- pealed unsuccessfully to the state district court and state supreme court which upheld the states laws requiring racial segregation in the schools.
 The National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peo- pie carried the case to the U. S. Supreme court which last Mon day ruled that the state must make equal education facilities" available to Negroes as promptly as they are for white students.
 OKLAHOMA CITY (P) - The legal battle of a 23-year-old Me- gro woman to enroll in the Uni versity of Oklahoma law school yesterday was headed back to the United States Supreme Court, which only last week directed the state to establish equal law school facilities for Negroes and whites.
 A Negro school of law estab- lished here in a surprise move Monday by the Oklahoma state regents for higher education was branded by Negro leaders as a Jim Crow law school"
 At a mass meeting here, attend ed by some 600 Negroes, James E. Stewart, president of the local chapter of the National Associa- tionfor the Advancement of Col ored People, said the associations attorneys will go back to the Su- preme Court to contend that some unit of the state govern ment is in contempt" of the courts ruling
 Mrs. Ada Lois Sipuel Fisher, the Negro seeking admission to the university's law school, will not attempt to enroll in the newly created law school but will stand on her application for enrolment at the state university, Roscoe Dunjee, editor of Negro news paper here and a national direc- tor in the NAACP, said.
 An honor graduate of Langston university, Mrs. Fisher first sought to enroll in the state uni versity law school two years ago. Denied admission because of the states laws requiring separate schools for Negroes, she appealed to the state courts and finally to the U. s. Supreme Court.

OBSERVATIONS
BY Mack C.. Nance
American Negro Void Of
Leadership

American Negroes, as of date;
have failed, dismally, to develop
such able, outstanding, alert and
valiant leadership as that of,
Gandhi, of India; Abdel-Krim, of
Morocco; Sao-Shwe-Thaik, of Bur-
ma and Ngoc-Danh, of Indo-China.
These leaders are and have made
personnel sacrifices in favor of
their humble followers instead of
robbing them. Negro leadership or
rather misleadership; past and
present; are of the begging, cring-
ing, hat in hand appeasing, COM
promising and 'yauZa boss type Of
human cross word puzzles. Among
our so-called inteligensia; such as
educators, public speakers, writer's,
columnists etc., we note; those who
act, speak and write, in terms suit
able to and for the sole purpose
of being called good darkies' by
the Peglers, RankinS and other
hate garages in our midst. Under
our senile, fossilized, idotic skin
down type of leadership: we (the
Negro) have degenerated into a
group of very poor copyist and
following the vile leadership of
the most unGodly races upon the
face of the earth. Through this,
our group have lost the most
precious gift of God to man, and
that is: originality, realism and
initiative. The Negro of today and

U. 5. COMMISSiONERS
 MAY GET PAY RAISE

Delegate BaIt.etts bill to increase from $,30o0 to $5,Co0 the net fees which United States Commissioners in Alaska may retain as annual com pensation has been reported favor ably to the Senate by the Senate Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs. The measure, H. R. 3973, passed the House last July 21.
 The present limitation of $3,000 has been in existence since 1900. At the present time the increase in compensation would affect six Uni ted States Commissioners in AL aska, namely, those at Nome, Fair banks, Anchorage, Seward, Juneau and Ketchikan.
 Delegate Bartlett still hopes that Congress will act favorably on his measure to place commissioners in the Territory on salary basis, thus benefiting considerable more United States Commissioners than does H. R. 3973.

 The bedrock on which the scholarly activities of university founded" said pr. Conant, 'is a charter of free inquiry without this you have institution of advanced education technical school military college for example but you do have a university The nation has a right to demand of
 it's educational institutions that the teachers dealing with controversial subjects shall be fearless seekers of the truth and careful scholars rather than pro- pagandists But granted honesty sincerity and ability, there must be tolerance of wide diversity of opinion Indeed, this diversity of opinion is not only basic for the welfare Of universities but for that of the entire Nation For in a democracy with traditions, only those reasoned convictions which emerge from diversity of opinion lead to that unity and na- tional solidarity essential for the welfare of our country"
 If the universities of the country are to retain such charter of free inquiry they will have to be resolute against enormous pressure from those who confuse loyalty with conformity The period in which we live says Dr. Conant can perhaps best be de- scribed armed truce' This and the divided world it occasions "are phenomena particularly ob- noxious to academic men because inevitably they inhbit the interchange of ideas and personnel among universities. But consequence which might be still disastrous universities in his judgment is an interference with their freedom as result of panic.

THE MILLER CASE

It may be significant that the aboriginal rights claims have been dropped from consideration by the court in the Miller before the U S. District Court The motion for withdrawal was made by the Indian attorneys Of the Circuit Court stated in no uncertain terms that if aboriginal rights ever did exist they extingushed by the Treaty of Cession in 1867 and could reasonably be expected that the District Court would reaffrm this decision
 Nevertheless it would seem that the Indian at torneys by this action have lost confidence in their ability to establish the aboriginal rights theory, which has been nothing but bluff so far.

 In the first place. no single American government is authorized to decide just what is and is not covered by that Donation treaty. It's supposed to be decided by all of them. Secondly, Peron is not primarily interested in the Antarc- tic, as such, but in the Falkland (Malvina) Islands, to which Argen- tine probably has more valid claim than Great Britain. And, finally, the whole issue of disputed territorial claims is very touchy one throughout the hemisphere.

ImpressiOnist Bonnets
Cincinnati Enquirer)


 Women may not know it, but art is soon to go to their heads Recent fashion notes from Paris and London have it that the models in hats have been inspired by the paintings of Monet and Renor. The Monets they may be excited to know, are to be posed straight on the head and call for coiffre with bangs "All the Monet hats" says a New York Times style reporter Paris, tied by narrow velvet cord ing that passes down in back of the ears, criss- crosses and is then drawn around to the front and knotted under the chin
 The Renoirs, it seems runs to bonnets with shal- low-crowned brims and so on. Colors are to be gay and stripes rampant
 Words we have always felt, are inadequate to do full justice to fashions especially those in hats And photographs are always deceptive, for they always show models on whom the hats look well. The real value of hat is revealed only when it is worn by someone who should be found dead in it, and that includes most people who follow the styles instead o their reflections in the mirror.
 However any women who really is interested m knowing how she is going to look few months hence may profitaby examine the next Renoir painting she seesf she can find in which hats or any clothes at all-are being AS for Monet, he is a little more difficult, since most of his pictures give the impression of having been painted in the bottom of a well during dense fog.

U. $. PLAYS INTO PERON'S
 HANDS

Unfortunately, the U s. Govern ment once again has muffed the ball on an issue of vital importance to Western Hemisphere solidar- ity.
 This time the State Department has played into the hands of Ar gentina's willy Juan D. Peron Official statements supporting Britain in it's controversy with Argentina and Chile over the An tarctic, are just what the dictator wanted.
 It is no accident that this dis pute, involving the Falkland Is- lands and a large slice of the An tarctic, has come to a head just now. peron planned it that way for two specific reasons:
 | By appealing 10 the strong natioualistic pride of his country men, he hopes to divert public at tention t.om domestic problems and strengthen his partys position for the forthcoming Argentine Con gressional elections;
 ?. Peron also wants to become Americas s popular hero be- fore the Bogota Conference, sched- uled to open March 30.
 For both purposes. nothing could have suited him better than the llatuitous and wholly uncalled- fer statements which U. s. spokes- men have made on this question

PLAUSIBLE SOUTH AMERI-
 CAN CASE

Washington officials, well aware of all this, are operating on the erroneous theory that the best way to squelch such ambitions is to side against Argentina and Chile in their present controversy with Britain. However, it happens that both South American Republics have quite plausible case.
 British occupation of the Falk- land or Malvina Islands in 1883 was technically accomplished by force, although no shootings oc- cured. Royal Marines, which had just been withdrawn from Bue- nos Aires after the humiliating failure Of their attempt to take over that city simply expelled the handful of Argentine functionar- ies they found on the isolated Malvina Archipelago and moved in.
 England's pretext for that action was, and still is, based on the supposed cession Of the islands to King George III by Spain in 177l The Argentines, however, point out that no British attempt to occupy this territory was made until the latter sought to save face" fol- lowing the forced retreat from Buenos Aires. Furthermore, the Malvinas were mentioned in the treaty with Spain which ended Ar gentinas War of Independence and gave the new republic sovere-

ignty over the former River Plate viceroyalty
 As for the Antarctic areas now being disputed, Britain's only claim there is founded on some dubious letters of patent" filed away in 1907 and forgotten ever since. Both Argentina and Chile have established permanent bases in this region during recent years.
 The whole point is that the issue has serious political and military implications. A group of prom inent former Nazi sympathizers in half dozen Latin American countries has just formed a new organization called the 1bero-Am- erlcan Union Its avowed purpose is to promote Spanish American solidarity to oppose both contem-
