Damages Sought For
Lynch Victims Kin

COLUMBIA, S. c., Oct. G.
The Supreme Court of South Caro-
lima has been asked to uphold a
lower court decision holding Green
vile County in that state liable
for damages in the lynching of
Willie Earle in 1947.
The lower court decision, APP
pealed by the county on October
4, was supported by brief filed
by NAACP lawyers Harold R.
Boulware of this city and Frank
lin H. Williams and Constance
Baker Motley of the National Of
flee legal staff on behalf of Mrs.
Tessie Earle, mother of the lynch
victim.
The NAACP, seeking to recover
damages for Mrs. Earle under
South Carolina law, filed suit early
in the year against Pickens and
Greenville counties. The court
held that only Greenville county
was liable as that was the county
in which the death by lynching
took place. The suit against Pick
ems County was dismissed on the
ground that the victim was merely
taken from Jail in that county.

Richardson as the tenth of Cannon Theological Semi

to unite the present world We must enlarge our hori
zon TO include all and TO give full measure of equality
and justice to all. The churches and the ministers
have to- long flirted with that little lady called tact
fulness instead of facing the crucial issues of racial
discrimination segregation and economic injustice But
until Christian people and the Christian church Join
hands and march together to justice shall continue
to loose prestige at home and abroad"
Strong ringing words these, coming from the
lips of great bishop perhaps the most powerful voice
in all Professionalism today because he has been forth
right IN these vital issues. Bishop Oman did not mnce
his words He did not choose his group. He spoke un-
fhnchlngy to southern Negroes and whites alike. He
told them to get their house in order on the race issue
And he warned the North waste no time in pointing
the accusing finger at the sins of the South for similar
sins are being committed by them and there is need

0 dear. There is lot of work
to be done for peace A shift
in studies from SCIENCE to what
schools call the HUMANITIES
PHILOSOPHY which now embraces
psychology; history; the classics;
and all studies that were priced
before the era of science which be-
gan around a hundred years ago,
is the main thing that is now un-
derway.
Perhaps the schools will find
Menippus, and the art of John
Dryden as a satirist will be COM
pretended, and dear William
Wordsworth will come at last into
his own, along with Edmund Hus-
serl. You see lot of the work
for peace has already been begun
and is waiting on library shelves
for the seeing eye and understand
ing mind that heretofore has CEN
tered its attention on SCIENCE to
bring it into its own.
The rest of us can turn our at

work wonders.
