Supreme Court To
Hear 0kIa.Texas
Educational Cases

Oklahoma City--An appeal to
the United States Supreme Court
from a federal three judge court
decision unfolding segregation of
G. w. McLaurin at the University
of Oklahoma was filed here this
week. The case will be argued in
the Supreme Court in the Spring
of this year.
McLaurin was admitted to the
University's graduate school on
completely segregated basis on
October 10, as a result of a fed
eral court decision ruling rhe
states segregation laws nconsti-
tutional insofar as they prohibited
enrolment of Negroes in the Uni
versity for courses not otherwise
available in state supported inst
tutions. The same court later fail
ed to grant an injunction restrain
ing the University from seating
McLaurin in an anteroom and
otherwise segregating him from,
white students at the institution
maintaining that the State is COM
plying with the Fourteenth A
mendment in providing HIM "e-
quail facilities.
A writ of certiorari in the case
of Heman Marion Sweat, who
was denied admission to the Uni
versity of Texas law school solely
because he is Negro, will be
sought from the U. S. Supreme
Court, and attorneys anticipate
that review of this case before
the highest court will probably be
simultaneous with argumen. OF
the McLaurin appeal. A third
higher education case, that of the
denial of admission of Mrs. Ada
Lois Sipuel Fisher to the Univer-
sity of Oklahoma law school, is
again pending before the Supreme
Court Of Oklahoma and may be
argued before the u. S. Supreme
Court at. approximately the same
time as the cases of McLa min and
Sweat.

Pine Bluff-The Pine Bluff N
AACP voted to consider a pro-
posal to surrender its charter be-
cause of the immediate need for
the localization of interest in the
solving of local problems if unity
is not obtained in NAACP acti-
Vities in Arkansas, in resolu-
ton adopted Sunday evening at
the Merrill High School Auditor
ium.
The resolution was presented
by Wiley A. Branton, well known
civic and political leader, and was
adopted by the branch with only
two dissenting votes cast. Incens-
ed over the recent action of the
National Office Of the association
in converting a special session of
the Arkansas Conference of
Branches, to be held at Hot
Springs, January 20, the group
requested that Arkansas withdraw
from the Southwest Region until
such time as it has sufficient uni
ty to meet its monetary obliga-
tions which are now in default.
Flowers Deolores DiscCrd,

In an imprisoned plea, Harold
Flowers, local lawyer and presi-
dent of the state organization ana

our action we do not propose to
give comfort to those who oppose
first class citizenship for Negroes
in Arkansas; but we must revamp
our course of social action to
bring into full play our organiza-
tional resources to the solving oil
local problems.

In direct discord with his flock,

drawn up by the Board of Stew

Following the announcement by
the parson that the self-styled
prophet would be in "consecra.

church met Sunday afternoon and
emphatically denounced the pro-

The congregation feels that the

could be spent much more benefit

The members feel that the pas
tor is doing disservice to Chris
tianity, their church, and the COM
munity in catering to this kind
of a fake. They contend that the
salary of the pastor is ample to
make it unnecessary for him to
stoop to practice so humiliating

sponsibilities before its mission
was fully accomplished.
To-day there are many who
would like to take over" Dr.
Neumann said. MANY who are
pushing to the front, willing to
thrust the Zionist movement
aside and consign it to oblivion.
To them we say Not so fast, good
friends. It is well to bear In
mind that the State of Israel is
the product of a half century OF
unremitting toll and struggle and
organized Zionist effort. Israel
is the child of the Zionist move
ment, born of its travail. The
welfare of the infant child will
continue to be a Zionist response
bility. The time has not yet
come for rehabilitation and re-
taxation. The very opposite is
true. If there were no Zionist
movement in existence, this
would be the time to create it"
This is the immediate program
of the ZOA. Specifically, we
learn from reliable sources near
to the executive, that concerted
effort will be made to strengthen
the economic institutions of the
ZOA particularly the Israel Eco
nomic Corporation and private
investments in Israel under the
auspices of the ZOA. The slogan
of the campaign will be nom
interference in the internal affairs
of the American Zionists by any
outside power, even if it comes
from Tel Aviv, and a re-assertion
of the independence of American
Zionism. DR.. Silver has evidently
eliminated himself from the con-
didacy for the next Presidency of
the ZOA and the chances of the
much more conservative Mr..
Daniel S. Frisch seem to be soar

Is Eyed

A councilman Wednesday as.
serted that Pasco's fire losses
this year were not caused by
any lack of support for the fire
department by the council.
He said that the fire depart.
ment this year, and nearly every
year, had received virtually all
the money which it had asked.
This year about the only thing
eliminated from the request was
$4,000 for an aerial ladder
truck, which the councilman,
who declined to permit use OF
his name, said was not needed
at present. . 49,
He said the state fire inspec.
tor had not found a need for
additional equipment SO there
was no reason to believe other.
wise than that the city'S present
equipment is adequate.

Sugar Firm
Eyes Area

Possibilities Of growing sugar
beets in the Tri-City area are
being studied by the Utah and
Idaho Sugar Co., which has a
processing plant at Toppenish.
The Herald learned Friday.
Company officials were In the
area last week discussing plans
for planting some "test" fields
next year. They reported that
sugar beets had proven an ex.
cellent crop in the upper Yakima
valley and in the Walla Walla
area.
However, they feared the
winds common to this area In
the spring might blow the com.
paratively bulky, but light, su.
gar beet seeds from the ground.
The officials reported that
crops in the Walla Walla and
Toppenish areas last year yield.
ed 10 tons to the acre. Price
was about $13 q ton.
However, many yields up to
80 tons per acre were reported.
The officials said farmers In
the Roza project, near Prosser,
were being encouraged to plant
small acreages Of sugar beets
next year. They were confident
that the beets would do well in
that area.
