SECOND BARBER BROTHERKILLE NAUTON ISt1A
Second Suit Filed
As Federal judge
Promise Early
Decision In Ark.
Equal School Cast

Little Rock, Ark, June IA
"Can the Dewitt Special School
District No. 1 provide GA rated
school facilities for white chill
dren within the district, and
which has only &C" rating?"
This question is now before the
United States Court upon the
completion of the testimonye in
a two day trial last week which
revealed gross inequalities in
educational opportunities and fa-
cilities for Negro children at
Dewitt.
Federal Judge Harry J. Lem
ley indicated that decision
would be rendered in time for
the school to revise is budget for
the 1949-50 school year as he
granted eight lays for the filing of
briefs by Harold Flowers, Pine
Bluff attorney, representing eigh-
teen Dewitt school patrons who
filed suit in January, and A. F.
House, Little Rock attorney, wdo
represents the Dewitt School
Board. -
SUPT. EXAMINED
For more than two hours, Mr..
Flowers cross questioned R. w.
Brotherton, superintendent of De-
Witt Public Schools. The ex-
animation revealed that despite
the request for improved educa-
tional facilities and particularly
for the establishment of a higd
school at Dewitt, the school
district has increased the valua-
ton of white school facilities by
more than one hundred thousand
dollars, while spending approx
imately twenty-six hundred dol
lars in moving a war surplus
building to the Dewitt Key
School an elementary facility for
Negroes.
Brotherton testified under con-
tinued questioning by Mr.. Flow
ers that ten wing schools
maintained throughout the dis
trict for white children that n
those schools wwhere grades one
through six were provided that
transportation of children in the
seventh and eighth grades to the
100000 Dewitt elementary school
is made by the School Board. No
transportation of any grade
school Negro children has ever
been effected despite the fact
that the district has three wing
school for Negroes.
Testifying for themselves as
plaintiffs were: E. D. Pitts, Ben
jamin F. Strivers, E. G.. Stevver-
son, James Brunson, John Clip
son and Isiah Pitts.

directors inCenter and Hickory
