EXPRESS Better
Conduct Campaign

The Daily EXPRESS has been
carrying OF a better conduct cam
paign in the past weeks. About a
week ago we had a long article
which was very pointed and for
which we have been receiving
much favorable comment.
1t seems that some improvement
has been noticed by several OBJ
servers since we intensified our
campaign. But the improvement
has not gone nearly as far as it
must go. 1t is particularly Inn
portant at this time that we make
a special effort to behave re
properly in public.
One of the unfortunate factors
in being a minority group is that
members of that group are MADE
to undergo hardships OF an extra
ordinary character. The Negro
people are the greatest sufferers
Of minority group oppression. It
is sometimes asked why Negroes
so much time pointing
this fact out. "Look at the rosy
side of things" is often the sug-
gestion Of our friends.
This is a very tempting sugges-
ton, but it is so often the case

Charges Of discrimination in
the use of the municiple controlled
swimming pool in the village of
Oxford, Ohio have been filed in
the Common Pleas Court of
Judge Fred c.. Kramer in Hamil-

E. Simmons and James H. Niece,
attorneys the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Col
ored People in the fight are seek
ing a temporary injunction against
the Village Council for it's al
legged discrimination against the
use Of the pool by Negroes resid-
ing in the Village. Simmons, the
senior partner of the law firm
contends the property on which
the pool was built was decided to
the village by six persons in 1884
and that the donors entered q
clause in the deed specifying that
the property be used for "park or
playground purposes only by per
sons of the white or Caucasian
race" The injunction according
to Simmons, will be sought on the
basis Of a Supreme Court ruling
which says there is nothing to
prevent individuals from making
such an agreement, but says the
militant leader, no court can en-
force the carrying out of such an
agreement. Simmons points out

that Oxford's council is a legisla-
tive body and has no right to rule
whether the clause is enforceable.
An important item in the suit
is the financing Of the pool at
the time of it's building. The mon
ey used in the construction came
from a bond issue and funds of
the WPA Simmons said. There
fore the pool is public property
and as such should be opened TO
anyone Breaking the deed, he
further argues, does not give the
donors the right to reclaim The

be forced by the injunction to set
aside the clause. A hea cing OH

Wednesday at $3.50 am before
