Arizona Council For Civic Unity
Asks End Of Public School And
Other Segregation Against Negroes


segregation of students in public
schools was sought last Monday by
the Arizona Council of Civic Unity.
The council appealed for support
of it's fight against segregation
through pamphlets sent to civic
leaders throughout the state.
The proposed legislation forbids
segregation of pupils on basis of
race, color, creed and national ORR
gin in any public school.
Referring to tn 18th Amendment
to the u. S. Constitution which
forbids any state from denying any
person within its jurisdiction equal
potection of the laws, and citing
1916 decision by the u. S. Supreme
Court which forbade California
from segregating Mexican elemen-
tary students, the council suggests:
"It would appear that the choice
which Arizonas citizens have is to
sit by while the u. S. Supreme
Court strikes the segregation laws
from the books, or to have the
satisfaction of voluntarily repeal
ing these laws"
In it's pamphlet the council Rd-
mitted it had not made complete
survey of segregation practices and
their effcts, but claimed rather
that it was offering only rough
outline of the state situation.
DR.. Fred C. Holmes, Phoenix,
president of the ACCU, said their
report was to indicate that the
Implications of a segregated school
system are costly. "But the council
believes the social COST" continued
DR.. Holmes, measured by the op-
portunitieS denied to children and
the MISUNDERSTANDING which keep
groups and individuals apart, is
infinitely greater"
The council praised the action
taken last year by the Arizona
Supreme Court which granted %
Indians the right to vote. It then
intimated the court precedent
morally demanded the repeal OF
the states only discriminatory
laws-school segregation and inter-
racial marriage laws.
While more cattle-rustlers than
Negroes have been lynched within
the boundaries of the state, the
council insisted Arizona generally
stands with the South in its at
titude toward Negroes.
Phoenix parochial schools and
Prescott public schools were men
toned in the pamphlet as trench
ant examples of non-segregation
working with success. In contrast
to these it cited the Casa Grande
Negro elmentary school which
has II books in its library and one
teacher for it's 81 pupils.

CERDAN, LA M0TTA WEIGH IN AGAIN;
 TO FIGHT TONIGHT
By JACK HAND

DETROIT, June 16--tR--To avoid the threat of an international box ing incident, both middleweight champion Marcel Cerdan of French Morocco and challenger Jake La Motta of New York's Bronx will weigh in again at 10:30 a m. (Est) today for tonight's once postponed title bout at Briggs stadium
 The weat h CT m a n promised partly cloudy, weather but none of the rain that caused the post ponement yesterday
 Long after the Michigan State Boxing Commission first ruled that no new weigh-in was necessary, the two managers got together and agreed to let their boys step on the scales second time. They made up" only after hours of wrangling into the early morning.
 Jo Longman, the excitable Pari- sian manager of Cerdan, talked atout an international incident" and the danger of losing the title to light heavyweight when it appeared that Jake and Marcel would not have to weigh in after the postponement.
 La Motta hit 1892 yesterday neon and it was agreed he would have trouble getting under the 160-pound class limit again today. For that matter, Cerdan, too, will have difficulty although he got in comfortably at 158 yesterday. Both ate well, thinking no second weigh in would be necessary.
 Cerdan remains the favorite but the to 8 price may melt as much az two points by ringtime.
