Arkansas Citizens
Sue For Better
Schools
BY Grace Donaldson

Deitt, Ark.-Stepping up the attack
to wipe out the policy of school boards
in maintaining inferior schools for
Negroes in Arkansas, a group of Ne
gro school patrons of Dewitt are seek
ing permanent injunction against
school officials, according to COM
plant filed in the u. S. District Court
Wednesday by W. Harold Flowers,
well-known Pin eBluff lawyer and
president of the Arkansas Confer
ence of Branches of the NAACP.
The petitioners are seeking to
have the school board to establish a
high school for their children, and
charge that a high school is main
tanned by the school district for white
only.
Eighteen Petitioners
The eighteen citizens who have be-
come parties to the historic action
are Frank Pitts, Isaiah Pitts. Moses
Pitts, E. D. Pitts, John Gibson, James
Brunson, o. H. Brunson, Nolan Hard
nett, Benjamin Strivers, Will Watson,
]. E. Wilson, Arthur Sims, E. G.
Stephenson, Freeman Virgins, Will
Howard, General Edmondson, Eek
iel Williams, and Robert Hobson
The complaint alleges that the De-
Witt School board maintains only an
eighth grade school for Negroes, and
further states that several students,
children of the parties to the action,
are now ready to attend high school,
but the district maintains a high
school only for whites and members
of all other races but Negro people.
Early in 194S more than three hun
dred white school patrons joined Ne
gro patrons in requesting the school
district to provide high school facili-
ties for Negroes in the town of De-
Witt.
The only effect the petition seems
to have had upon the school board has
been the moving of war surplus
material building on the campus site.
Going Elsewhere
Every effort was put forth by school
officials to encourage Negro patrons
to use the facilities afforded at near
by Emanuel School eight miles away
from Dewitt. No cooperation was re-
ceived and many of the patrons are
now sending their children to Fargo.
Pine Bluff and Stuttgart for hibh
school at an unnecessary expense.
Included among the signers of the
petition filed with the school board
was the former chairman, S. J. Shack
elford, and DR.. ]. B. Rasco
Originally citizens committee en-
ployed Mr. Flowers, and since that
time an active branch of the NAACP
has been formed. The two organiza-
lions are working together in raising
funds to prosecute the court action.
In statement made Immediately
after the suit was filed, Flowers de.
clared that We've just begun to
fight" Within a fortnight Statewide
action is expected to be modified in
an all out fight against inferior
schools for Negroes in Arkansas. &C

Arkansas NAACP.

Discrimination In
Washington, D. c.
BY REV. WILLIAM C. HERMAN

"A blistering report on segregation
in Washington, d. c. has been re-
leased by the National Committee
on Segregation in the Nations Cap
itol whose Membership includes such
prominent names As Mr. James B.
Carey, Judge Meier Steinbrick, Mr..
Walter P. Reuther, and Mr.. Walter
White. Chairman is DR.. George N.
Shuster, President of Hunter Col
lege.
The Committee reports that Neg
roes in Washington, D. G. are crowd
ed into the city's slums. They com
pose 20 PEI cent of Washington's
slum residents although they num-
Der but 80 per cent of its popula-
ton.
AS you might expect, bad living
conditions breed bad health con-
ditions. 8 per cent of the deaths
from tuberculosis in the Capitol are
among Negroes.
Job discrimination keeps Washing
toms Negro population poor, it hav-
ing been established by the Com
mittee that, apart from mental work,
job opportunities are for the most
part closed to them.
The Federal Government itself
bears some of the responsibility for
this deplorable state of affairs. For,
in spite of presidential executive
orders against job discrimination,
the Committee cites the State and
Justice Departments, the Federal
Reserve Board, the Federal Trade
Commission, and the Bureau of the
Budget as agencies which exclude
Negroes from all jobs except those
which white people refuse to take.
This is a glazing and shocking
practice 1t disregards American
principles. 1t is unjust. 1t doesn't
belong in this country. 1t is con-
trary to the law of God.
Monsignor Raymond J. Campion
of St. Peter Claver Church, Brook
Ign, New York, once stated the case
this way:
According to the natural moral
law every human person precisely
because he is human person, en-
joys the right, regardless of race
or color, to a recognition of his
equal dignity as a human person
with all other men
"To deny to any group its es-
sential rights as human beings is
to break the natural law. Break
ing the natural law is a crime. It
is a serious sin against God and
nature. 1t calls for condign punish
ment. No amount of sophistic ra-
tionalization can avoid or conceal
this fact"
We agree with that. Discrimina-
ton against anyone is a fragrant vio-
lation of the law of God regarding
the dignity of every mans human
nature. By every standard of Ameri-
canism, it is unpatriotic and it it
must be stopped.
But, while we are justly critical
of discriminatory practices in Wash
ingtOn, each of us may well make it
his personal business to look into
his own community's back yard and
see what goes on there - with a
view, of course, to taking whatever
action is necessary to insure and
protect the personal rights of free
Americans.

Brown Presented
4-H Plague

DR.. Roscoe G. Brown, senior
health specialist of the U. s.
Public Health Service, was pre-
sented All citation plaque last
week for outstanding service by
the Nations 100000 colored Ale
club boys and girls.
Presentation was made at the
U. S. Department of Agriculture
by DR.. Erwin H. Shinn, field
agent of All work in the South
ern States and Puerto Rico.
Three All representatives and a
score of agricultural officials
were present for the ceremony.
In making the presentation, DR..
Ehinn said that perhaps Booker
T. Washington and DR.. Brown
have done more than any other
individuals in our country to pro-
mote health improvement condi-
tons for rural and urban colored
Americans. He pointed out that
Booker T. Washington founded
National Health Week 35 years
ago and that its annual observ-
ance has been continued largely
through the efforts of DR.. Brown
who had devoted the greater part
of his life to public health work.
The All field agent said that
DR.. Brown gave up a lucrative
dental practice in Richmond, Va,
in 1915 in order to devote his
full time to public health ser
vice.
In relating National Negro
Health Week to All programs,
DR.. Shinn said that every color
ed 4-H'er knows the value of this
observance which stimulates
cleanup, paint-up and health
check-up campaigns in almost
every rural community. He said
phases of this observance pro-
mote better diets, better homes,
screening of windows and doors,
construction of sanitary toilets
and destruction of the breeding
places of rate, flies and mosqui-
toes.
Our extension agents encour-
age All club boys and girls to
take part in those and other
health improvement activities,''

DR.. Brown is one of the first
three colored Americans to be
awarded a All plaque. The other
two are: David w. Kellum, Bud
Billiken clud director of the Chi
cago Defender and Frank Sugar

who has been playing the piano
since he was three years old.
They received their plaques last
August during the first Regional
Al club encampment at South
ern University, Baton Rouge, La.
DR.. Brown was unable to be
present at that time.
The plaque is made of bronze
and is framed in mahogany. 1t
reads: Citation for outstanding
service to 4-H".
Among those present for the
presentation ceremony were: As
sistant Directors of Extension
Service Walter H. Conway and

Beauty Hints
BY Nine Temple
YOUR EXPRESSION

If you want to look your best,
achieve social distinction, and, win
friendship and love, remember this:
There is something more import
ant than your apparel, something
beyond the splendor of dress; some
thing that goes out beyond your
physical coverings; it is your ex-
preston. So. be wise, and never for
get to wear your most pleasing face
when you go to conquest. The ex-
preston goes further than the eye,
it penetrates to the heart of the
observer. Wear your best one.

It's a known fact that Lena has

prominent teachers both in Holly
wood and in New York. She was
also former chorus girl, getting
her start at the Cotton Club here.
But MGM has never allowed her
skirts to go up or to have her
legs photographed. For the fact re-
mains, Lena not only hasn't the tai
ent for dancing, she hasn't the gift
of gorgeous gains. But she can still
stop show by just sitting on the
sofa and looking pretty. She doesn't
even have to walk and certainly
not dance! Who looks at leg, any
