lack of education of Negro leaders
in the South" declared Mrs. Chau-
ncey L. Waddell, White, Riverdale
chairman of the greater New York
women's committee of the United
Negro College Fund, Inc, here
last week. Mrs. Waddell was MAX
ing a plea for northern financial
aid to Negro schools in the South.
Pointing out that the present
situation among Negro schools in
the South demands a rebirth of
interest in Negro education by
Northern peoples, she said, that
the majority of Negro students
are unable to pay more than a
third of the usual tuition charges
of standard colleges and that Ne
gro institutions have difficulty in
collecting tuition fees of 500 to
5000 a year.

Marshall Hits
IF arce Of Georgia
Justice

New York - The sharp con-
trast which exists in the opera
ton of justice for Negro and
white citizens in the State of Ca,
was pointed up by Thurgood Mar
shall, special counsel for the Ma
tional Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People, in
a statement commenting on the
speedy acquittal this week of
William L. Howell, a white Ca,
charged with the lynching of Rob-
ert Mallard, Toombs County Neg
70.
Comparing Howell's acquittal
with the Georgia justice" which
last year convicted Mrs. Rosa
Lee Ingram in the selfdefense
Staying of a white neighbor, Mr..
Marshall stated: "These two cas-
es taken together completely re-
flute any possible argument for
leaving the question of enforce
ment of Negroes rights to 'Geor-
gle Justice If there be any doubt
in anyone's mind, he needs only
to look to the most recent
actions of Governor Talmadge in
his determination to reestablish
the poll tax in Georgia and to
enact registration laws which
will disfranchise most of the
Negroes in Georgia."
Stressing the fact that the N.
AACP will continue with renew
ed intensity it's drive for enact
ment of a federal anti--lynching
law, Mr.. Marshall asserted that
the indictment of members of
mobs followed by their prompt
release by puries has zone pur-
pose only - to furnish the bas-
is for the fallacious argument
that the South is solving it's
own problems.

She pointed out however, that
since the number of colleges es-

she suggested that schools be sell

Polio piidenlies
Cost Millions

The 1949 March of Dimes is the
nations most urgent campaign.
Last summers devasting epide-
mic cost the National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis and its
chapters millions of dollars.
Infantile paralysis is one of the
most expensive diseases to fight
in it's acute stage and in after
care. Last year 403 chapters in
AZ states exhausted their funds
and appealed to National Head
quarters TO Resistance from the
epidemic emergency fund. These
appeals drained the National Foun-
dation's $4,O0O,OOO emergency
fund completely.
More than 100000 was spent
in North Carolina by the National
Foundation, in addition to costs
paid by the chapters from theeir
pooled treasury. Texas and Calf
ornia's highest incidence in history
required vast sums.
Prior to October 80, Idaho re-
ceived $508,655.51 and Ohio re-
ceived $3O3,312.4o. Nine states
received more that $1,000,000, be-
