NEGRO TABLES HELD
VIOLATION OF Lee LAW

Washington, June 5 (Ap) The
supreme court today outlawed
segregation-of Negroes in railroad
dining ears.
By an 8 to 0 vote the high tri-
bunal declared such segregation Vi
olates section of the Interstate
Commerce act which prohibits
any undue or unreasonable preju-
dice" TO any person using the rail
roads.
Justice Harold Burton wrote the
courts opinion. Justice Tom Clark
took no part.
The court was expected to rule
on two other segregation eases
perhaps later in the day They in
volve segregation by state uniyer-
sites.
THE DINING CAR decision was
on an appeal by Elmer W Hender-
son, Washington Negro. While
serving as a field representative of
the Presidents committee on Fair
Employment practises NMx942 he
made a railroad trip to Birming-
ham. Henderson protested that he
was unable to get a meal on a
Southern Railway Go. diner.
Southern railroads later adopted
a policy Of setting aside a table
or two for Negroes in dining ears.
These tables arc separated from
others in the cars by partitions or
curtains. Henderson. however,
pressed his fight against any seq
regation He is now a director Of
the American Council Of Human
Rights.
Justice Burton said today "the
right TO be free from unreasonable
discrimination belongs to each
particular person.
WHERE A DINING CAR is
available to passengers holding
tickets emitting them to use it,
each such passenger is equally en-
titled to its facilities in accordance
with reasonable regulations.
Under the rules. only four Ne
gro passengers may be served at
The Illinois times., 1950-06-09

Birmingham, Ala -(Atlas)- The
State of Alabama is way down
on the bottom Of the list in the
percentage of potential voters.
and il has aroused some minor
concern among leaders the pri-
mary next fueaday.
There appears to be a lack Of
interest among the white voters
bat the Negroes are warmed up
for the occasion. and veteran white
neWsman predicted an increase Of
Negro voters. From now on, they
believe the potential Negro voter
is merely matter of deciding
just what the important issues in
the campaign and what benefit he
can derive thereupon
States Fighters have opposed
mass registration. and are decided
" against any law which would
outlaw the poll tax. Regardless
of these obstacles, the Negro vo-
ters are on the increase. and there
seems to be no limit to this in
crease
