On behalf of the parents, Mrs.
Constance Baker Motley of the
NAACP legal department, pre-
sented a petition signed by IS
parents to the Hampstead board
on September IS. The petition
urged the board to abolish the
policy and custom of assigning
colored pupils to the Prospect
Street School, to revise It's pTaG-
tice of limiting the number OF
colored pupils attending other
city schools, to abandon its re-
Gently adopted permanent
school district lines, and to as-
sign pupils of the Prospect
school among tn other schools
Of the city.
At the September 18th meet
ing, attended by more than 200

stead, the board refused to act
upon the petition. Two days
later the board voted to affirm
Its prior decision upholding the

meant more to the colored citi-

combined. His record Of colored

for the scheduled drive for Civil
Rights legislation. During the
current political campaign the
Civil Rights issue will be in the
forefront of discussion. Gov.
Dever has issued a proclamation
declaring October 1928 Civil
Rights Week. By that time the
Civil Rights local movement now
underway should have gathered
such momentum and force as to
insure strong demonstration of
the demand for the enactment
by Congress of the Civil Rights
measures submitted to it by
President Truman.
All the speakers eloquently re-
ferred to Mayor Curley and the
late William M. Trotter as ex-
emplary fighters for civic rights.

There was something of the boy
in Frank Murphy-to the very end.
He loved praise, hated criticism
and was always little worried as
to what kind of Supreme Court
Justice he would be. He shouldn't
have been, for l am sure that some
of Franks dissents will stand up
as he SO ardently hoped-along-
side the ringing defenses of free
dom written by Holmes. More i'm

be known as one Of our great

1t made no difference whether
that man was a Filipino, con-
vioted japanese war criminal, a
labor leader, the father of Nazi
saboteur, a member of Jehovah's
Witnesses which bitterly criticized
his own Catholic Church, or a
neWspaperman who had criticized
him. If the man was losing his
civil right, Frank Murphy fought
for him-no matter what the odds

TOUGH ATTORNEY GENERAL

Yet, while Murphy was the great
champion of the man who had
been wronged, he was also one of
the toughest attorney generals ever
to preside over the Justice Depart
ment
Murphy became Attorney General
in January, 1899, and Immediately
launched the biggest political clean
up this country has ever seen. U.
S. Judge Martin T. Manton, of the
Second Circuit Court in New York
had been getting away with graft
for years. Many people knew this,
but other attorney generals had
let it pass.
Manton was a Catholic Murphy
was a Catholic. But Manton end
ed up in jail just the same.
In Louisiana, this column had
exposed shocking graft by the old
Huey Long gang. Frank Murphy
took the columns, with supporting
afiidayits, called grand jury, flew
to New Orleans himself, and in rec
ord time convicted Gov. Richard
Leche. the Democratic National
Committeeman, the head of OPA,
the president Of the State Uni
versity, and several others.

FRANKFURTER HIS ENEMY

Ironically, when Frank Murphy
went up to the Supreme Court to
be sworn in, he asked Felix Frank
furter to accompany him. Muir
ply had recommended Frankfurt
er's court appointment to the White
House, and they were close friends.
But in short time, however,
they were bitter enemies. Frank
furter's scathing sarcasm hurt Muir
ply, and they scarcely spoke. Muir
ply was also bitter against BRAIN
truster Tom Corcoran, once his
closest friend, but who he felt had
conspired to block his prosecution
of city bosses.
AT first Frank wasn't too happy
on the court. This was especially
true during the war, when he hat
ed to be sitting in the clustered
courtroom with the greatest battle
in history being waged around
him. Several times he offered his
services TO Roosevelt, several times
he told me that FDR had discussed
making him Secretary of War.
For political-unity reasons, Henry
L. Stimson was made Secretary Of
War instead, and Frank Murphy.
resigning himself to the quiet of
the Supreme Court, settled down to
work on being a great Justice.
Frank knew for some time that
he was sick, knew that he might
die. And, loving life as he did, he
fought off death. He fought it off
partly by telling himself and his
friends how fine he felt.
The last time I saw him. only a
few weeks ago. he flexed his BIZ
neps and said: They say I'm sick.
But feel that muscle. They can't
keep a man like me down"
And Frank was right. For

Tooth and Claw
enterprise
christian Science Monitor

(Christan Science Monltor)
We wonder why Soviet propaganda hasn't MADE
of the number of teeth false that get knocked
out in the New York subway rush--that rugged form
of free enterprise in which every slave OF capitalism
must fend for himself whether he wear overalls OF
conservative Wall Street plaid
One hundred sets of these dentures we're sofa
at auction at Brooklyn Manhattan Transit station
the other day. 1t is hardly possible that these were
left menacingly seats in the hope OF reserVmg
space for friends getting at the next stop ana
then forgotten. So possible deduction is that the
gentle teachings of Karl Marx have not had maxi
mum effect on American subway riders.
But Moscow has missed this, so far. Strange,
too when teeth have figured prominently in past
phases of propaganda for social reform There Is,
for example that historic bit of stone carving which
shows cows head thanked by two enormous molars,
and which puts into amusing hieroglyphic British
reormers contention that every farmer should own
COW and two achers" The example, to be is not
too helpful to propagandists for coectivism But it

stairs" in order to protect the Dem
ocratic bosses. I have a personal
reason for believing this was true.
However. it should also be noted
that with the death of Justice
Pierce Butler, a Catholic, in No
vember, 1889, Roosevelt wanted a
Catholic to take his place. Like
wise, it was true that FDR's fair
haired boy, Robert H. Jackson was
being groomed for the Presidency,
and the White House wanted the
Justice Department spotlight to
play on him.
I am convinced, however. that the
first factor-calling Murphy off the
heels of the bigcity bosses-was
the most important. And here is
my reason for thinking so.
BY this time-early in l940-most
of the LOUISIANA scandals had been
cleaned up, and a grand jury was
considering the indictment of May
or Robert Maestri CT New orleans
on hot Gil charge. Suddenly,
chief prosecutor o. John Rogge was
called out of the jury room to ans
wer the telephone from Washing
ton. Returning to the jury room,
he suspended the grand jury pro-
ceedings.
Learning of this mysterious move,
l went to Frank Murphy and ask
ed for an explanation. Murphy
told the truth. Mayor Maestri was
not to be indicted, he said. He had
received orders from the White
House.
That was 1940-a Presidential
year. In order to get the nominal
ton, FDR needed the support of
the big-city bosses, and in Louisi-
ana the only man who could de-
liver the delegation was Mayor
Maestri.

that Puget Sound salmon industry
operators had "flatly rejected a

prices.

terday afternoon and far into the
night" He said the operators re-
lection of the new union proposal
was received this morning.
The prolonged deadlock has
blocked the start of Puget Sound

season opened this week.
Cummings said the unions new
proposal was for the negotiating
committee to recommend that the
membership accept the operators
offer of 20 cents a pound on sock
eyes if the industry would pay II
cents for pinks. The operators
have offered only 10 cents for
pinks.
The union originally asked 25
cents for sockeyes and IL for pinks.

ALASKA'S FUTURE GOOD

The Ketchikan News says Gil Skinner says Alaska
has good future. Then the News bears out the same
views bv saving that Alaska always has had a good
future.
Its great open spaces, varied resources, freedom
of action and lure have attracted the most hardy
people.
It's future is assured despite gripping bureau
directves.
It's future will even outlive the political mess that
the Gruenng machine has cooked up.
One of the things to beware of is the ambition
