$500 Negroes Taking Graduate Study
Under ''Differentia| Scholarships"
Miss. Only Southern State Not Offering
Provision For Higher Education

More than 2,500 differential
scholarships" have been granted
by southern states, with the ex-
ception of Mississippi, to Negroes
seeking to continue their educa-
ton through graduate study lead
ing to a degree.
The plan of offering scholar
ships is the outgrowth of the u.
S. supreme court decision nine
years ago, holding it to be IL
legal for a state to provide edu-
cational opportunities on a GER
tain level to one racial group
and refuse another group the
same opportunities. Mississippi is
the only state which has not un-
dertaken the costly system or
"differential scholarship, none
tary grant which makes up the
difference it would cost in an out
of state school.
Some southern states had been
making awards to Negro students
for many years, but the general
practice was not entered into un-
til the Lloyd-Gaines university
of Missouri Law school case hit
the U. S. Supreme court in 1888.
Gaines had applied for admission
to the law school and was refus-
ed admission. He was referred to
one of the Negro colleges of the
state, which offered no law cour-
sc. A suit, brought against the
university registrar, ended UP in
the supreme court with ruling
that equal educational opportun-
ities must be provided for all
racial groups.
Missouri promptly set UP a
Negro law school in st. Louis,
a Graduate journalism shchool at
Loncoln university and appropri-
ated $4,000 year for differential
scholarships, basing the separate
system upon the courts conten-
tion that the states have right
to segregate by races, but they
must offer equal educational op-
portunities.
Other states followed in line.
Virginia and Kentucky had schol-
arship provisions in 1886, North
Carolina started in 1889, and Ten
nessee, which had been allocating
''indeterminate sums since 1887,
adopted the plan in 1941.
Some states designated qualifi-
ed Negro private colleges as re-
presentatives of state universities
in graduate work. Georgias uni

Atlanta Judge
Dismiss Case
Against Hiring
Negro Police

The legal attempt of G.. Her.
bert Yarn, white undertaken, to
halt the City at Atlanta from
hiring Negro policemen fizzled-
out Tuesday when Fulton Sup
erior Court Judge Bond Altman
sustained a demurrer filed by the
defense and, thereby, dismissed
the case.
The demurrer filed by City At
torney Jack Savage asked that
the suit be dismissed on the
grounds that the plaintiff had in
sufficient interest" and "had suf-
fered no damage" from the City
Council measure calling for hir-
ing of Negro policemen.
Judge Almand had held the case
under advisement since Tuesday
of last week.
Summarizing his opinion with
the curt expression, "It is sim
ply none of our business Judge
Almand outlined the following le-
gal principles as having controll-
ed the disposition of the case:
There is nothing in the char
ter or the general laws of this
state which authorizes this court
to approve or disapprove any pol

FARIsH STREET SATURDAY
BY PERCY GREEN

NIGHT Although its pretty
nearly true that whenever Aunt
Haggars chillum get together to
chew the fat over beer or two,
everybody has a whole lot of fun,
and as is the case with all the
good brothers that gather with
us in our favorite Ayenoo spot,
the subject don't usually call for
no whole lot of Sociology, Psy-
chology, and stuff out of books.
However in the case of one of the
brothers last Saturday night, we
had to agree that he talked the
kind of gospel that makes him
qualified to teach them subjects
whenever and wherever he gifts
ready. What make us come to
that conclusion was something the
good brother said about how
much Aunt Haggars Chilluns is
getting away from that ole time
family life that everybody used
to know and think so highly of
a few years ago. Now this bro
ther said that in them days the
man was the head of the house,
and he kept his place as the head
of the house mostly because he
did all the working and paid all
the bills, and brought all the
beans that was swallowed in
the house, and the women folks
was content to stay and cook the
beans and take care of the Chill
luns and the house that they liv-
ed in. But nowadays, said the good
brother, it cost so much to buy
beans and pay for the house,
and keep clothes on the chilluns,
most of the women have to get
out and help do all them things,
and since the women help do
them things, they don't feel like
the man is head no more, and
what's worse, there ain't no body
to look after the chilluns and
things is in a mess. The good
brother concluded by saying that
he Figured that if beans would
come down and women went back
to raising up family right,
things would be a whole lot bet
ter, but in the meantime if you
got woman that helping you
buy the beans and still recogn-
ICES you is the real head of the
house, then brother, She is a mi
ghty good woman, and YOU is

Race Students
Admission To
University Draws
Many Comments

When the University of Arkan-
sas let down the bars against
qualified Negro graduate stud
ents, which set a precedent in
the South, considerable comments
were made by Race Leaders and
Educators among our Race group.
Some Leaders congratulated the
action of the University Officials
most highly and others voiced re-
sentiment against the segregation
al set-up. 1t is the consensus of
opinion of some Religious and
Educational Leaders that the I'm
iversity's action is one step in
the right direction. The opposers
say there can be no equality of
education where segregation is
practiced. They say that they
believe the Herman Sweat case
of Texas, now pending before the
United States Supreme Court, will
be won on the grounds that you
cannot have equality of Education
and segregation too. Below are
comments of various outstanding
Race Leaders.

sas said they would admit quail
