LEGISLATURE Makes
Equal Pay for Louisiana
Teachers Final

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. %. CA
NP)-A federal court decision
plus action b ythe state legisla-
ture made the equalization of the
pay of colored and white teach
ers in Louisiana final last week
after three years of court action.
Federal Judge Herbert w.
Christenberry granted a perma-
nent injunction against the JEFF
ferson Parish school board declar-
ing that the boards practicing of
discrimination in the pay Of Ne
gro teachers was unconstitutional.
He ruled that paying colored
teachers less money merely be-
cause of race, creed or color vio-
lated the 18th amendment.
His decision settled at last a
case brought up originally by Mrs.
Eula Mae Lee of the Kinner school
faculty here. Mrs. Moore com
planned that white teachers with
the same qualifications and edu-
cation that she had received more
money.
Although she won her case, the
parish raised salaries of colored
teachers and fired Mrs. Moore.
She filed suit again for back pay
and her job. She finally has won
both her job and back pay plus
equal pay for teachers to be put
into practice by September, 1949.
In the meantime the state leg
islature passed a law equalizing
the pay of all teachers in the state
regardless of race, creed or color,
and appropriated funds to put the
law into action.
The state board of education
issued orders to all parishes that
salaries will be capitalized for all
teachers up to $4,000 a year.
With the courts, the state leg
islature and the state board of
education all acting, all parishes
are expected to comply with or
ders and help thousands of Negro

OElhOll Aug. 20. (A1NI =
The importation of four truck
loads of Negro laborers from
Georgia here at $35 a head was
reported here last week.
Fresh from the welfare rolls of
Georgia, PIP Negroes including
% single women took a three day
ride packed in vans to Michigan
where they had been told that they
would get jobs paying them Sc
to SIP a day.
Angry about the whole affair,
James Moore, director of Michigan
employment service, ordered the
trucker, Clyde Thompson of Sa-
vannah, to take the workers back.
Although the refugees had been
in Michigan only a week, Thomp-
son has been able to round up
only Al men for the return trip.
He a find none of the single
women. He said most of the men
found things in Michigan much
better than in Georgia.
Conditions under which the mi
grants travelled as we'll as those
met here in Michigan were de-
scribed as very insanitary by DR..
R. L. Loftin, health officer of
Bay county.
He said that the Negroes were
herded into the trucks living on
straw with no lights, water or
sanitary facilities. They cooked
their food in pots and pans
brought from Georgia.
Men, boys and the women were
assigned to three farm camps in
Bay county including a pig barn.
On the road to Michigan the two
doors to each van were clicked
from the outside, and two peep
holes provided the only fresh air.
In the meantime nobody seems
to agree on how much Thompson
is being paid for the colored
workers. Welfare Director Grover
G. Slime of Saginaw county, said
he learned that Thompson was
paid $35 for each person deliv-
cred. Thompson said nothing.
Thompson's contract was with
the Bayview Food Products COM
pany Of Linwood in Bay county.
The Bayvibew company in turn is
supposed to supply the workers to
the farmers in the harvest OF
pickle cucumbers.
F. j. Janicke of the BayvieW
firm said that all information
should come from Thompson.

Der of Company *, 505th Air

commended recently for his ex-

by held recently in the Ken
tueky-Tennessee area.
During the maneuver, Oden and
Private Charles W. Kelly of Padu-
cab. Kentucky, also a member of
Company *, succeeded in CAP
turing an enemy Mig tank.
The action took place on D-Day
following a mass drop by mem
bers of the 82nd Airborne Divis-
ion and spearheaded by the 3rd
battalion, 505th Airborne Infantry
Regiment.
Oden and Kelly were members
OF a scouting team which was
given the task of collecting in
formation regarding the strength
and location OF the enemy. During
the mission, they came upon an
MIG" tank bearing the markings
OF the enemy or "Aggressor
Force and the tank crew sleep
ing ten yards away; Oden and
Kelly mounted the tank and
drove it to the vicinity of friend
ly forces. The members of the
crew had to walk two miles to
their organization.
While attending the Airborne

the history of the school to
achieve this distinction. A pennant
