Atlanta Negro Teachers Win Equal Pay
Case
DecIaratory Judgement Ends Five Year
Old Suit
Judge Says Pay Based On Color And
Race Discriminatory

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. Is A
Fderal Court Judge ruleo here
today that the salaries paid Ne
gro teachers by the Atlanta Schol
Board are based on race and col
or and therefore discriminatory.
The ruling came on a five year
suit charging the school board
with salary inequalities based on
racial discrimination.
Federal Judge E. Marvin Under
wood said the Negro teacrers were
r'entitle0 to the relief sought.
"The court lisclaims any power
10 fix the salaries of the teachers"
the Judges opinion said. "That is
the right and within the province
of the 7Afo~dants. IRE court only
DEGREES that tn eSalaries may not
when so fixed, be discriminatory
of color or race.
'"The court realizes that a read
justment of salaries will be diff
ficult task and will require timd
and patience so that the injuctive
relief granted will be stayed a
reasonable tim to prunit compli-
ance by the defendants, Judge
Underwood said.
The following average monthly
saliries were listed:
Classification White Negro
High School
principals $34O. $24O.
Elementary
principals $254.15 -16753
High School
teachers -160.19 $112.38
The opinion said the average
years of education for White tea
cheers was 1885 and that of Ne
groes, 1857.
"The crucial question in this
"Is whether the very substantial
differential between the salaries
White teachers and the Colored
teachers represented by plain
tiff is due to discrimination on ac-
count of race and color. I find
that it is and that the ulaintiff
is entitled to the relief sought
for himself and the principals
and teachers he represents.
A 1eclaratory judgement and in
junction will be. entered, the decis-
ion reads, in accordance with these
findings:
The suit was instituted in 1910

US0, Recalled To

Prepares For
Peace-Tiinle Task
WITH SUPPORT OF NATIONS
COMMUNITY CHESTS,
FAMOUS WARTIME FRIEND
OF SERVICE MAN WILL
SERVE NEW ARMED
FORCES

New York Recalled to duty
within less than year following
its honorable discharge with a
notable recird for outstanding
time service to men Of all
races, the USO is now being reac-
tive and will march along shoulder
to shoulder with the young men
of the new peaecS-time Armed
Forces.
Again with the support of the
Nations, Community Chest, the
USO will render to TIL epersonnel
of the new military establish
ment the same friendly services
for comfort, recreation and NOR
al with distinguished it's career
during World War II, when it
was universally regarded as the
service mans "home away from
home.
In requesting and approving
the reorganiZatin of the USO to
provide the needs Of the great
ly expanded peace-time forcers,
Defense Secretary Forrestal said:
"The USO will serve vital Plies
ent need. 1t will also will serve as
a public reminder that even in
these difficult days the develop.
ment of our denfense plans will
traditional American policies. :"
Whereas, during the peak Of
its wartime activities the USO
conducted 3,035 operations, ex-
elusive Of camp shows, its new
assignment contemplates activities
which will be geared to the de-
veloping needs and the gradual
expansion of the Armed Ser
vices. At present the six national
agencies that formed the original
USO are conducting 105 operations
in 65 cities with the funds re-
manning after the liquidation of
the old USO. These include 62
clubs for service personel, Is
standard service units of the
Travellers Aid, 3 lounges where
military travel is heaviest, and
% agency offices specializing in
information and referral services.
There are also 2 operations in
and funds for 2 opera
lions in Guam.
Tt is expected that these oper-
atoms will continue in 1949 at
substantially the Same level. The
Navy will probably require only
some expansion of present facil-
tiles, while thee Army and the
Air Forces together viii re-es-
tablish and reopen in 1949 some so
camps requiring substantial club
services.
Utilization of this instrument
tality will obviate the necessity
of individual Embarrassing cam
paigns on behalf of the USO in
cities where 1t is included in the
Community Chest and will en-
able the public to support the new
USO through the once a year fed
Grated campaigns of the Commun
ity Chest.
