West Studies Milk Ruling
By District Commissioners

Corporation Counsel Vernon e.
West today Is studying whether
the Commissioners had legal au-
thority to permit milk to come
into the District from farms which
had not been inspected by Dis
trict health inspectors.
The Commissioners eight years
ago permitted milk to come into
the District from outside the
Washington milkshed because of
war shortages. but they have an
nounced that after June 80 milk
which comes from farms not in
spected by District authorities
cannot be sold.
Mr.. West said the question
never had been submitted to him
before, but that he believed the
Commissioners were without au-
thority to permit milk to. come
into the District from farms not
inspected by the Health Depart
ment.
Representative Smith, Demo-
crat. of Virginia, raised the legal
|ity question at Commissioners
hearing last week. Senator Gil
|lette, Democrat, of Iowa has called
a Congressional hearing for to-
morrow on various dairy problems
affecting the District, including
barriers to the Importation of milk

Associated Press Staff Writer

Fifty-four years ago the Su-
preme Court ruled. in effect that
segregation of Negroes by State
law is all right so long as they
get equal treatment with whites.
1T doesn't seem unreasonable. 2"
the court said.
Since then no Supreme Court
including the present one-has
tried to wipe out that ruling, at
least in one sweep.
In recent years the court cer-
tainly has been chipping away
at it, cutting down segregation
and allied matters a little here,
a little there, in such different
fields as education. travel, voting
and buying property.
In fact in the field of civil rights
for Negroes the court has gone a
lot further than Congress.
Before the Civil War, when
there was still slavery, the most
important Supreme Court deci-
sion on Negroes was given in 1857,
in the case of Dred Scott, Negro
slave.
His owner had taken him from
the slave State of Missouri into
the North. where slavery was for
bidden and then later back. to
Missouri YScott argned t1latshis
stay in the free North had made
| him free. So he sued for his
freedom. ' Ys@ s@'<7
The court gave an historic de-
cision: That Negroes were prop
erty.. not citizens df the United
States, and couldn't be citizens
even if they were freed. There
fore, not being citizen, a Negro
had no rights of citizens, includ-
ing the right to sue in Federal
court.
14th Amendment Is Key.
Then the war came. All slaves
were freed. And in 1868 the 14th
Amendment to the Constitution
was adopted, completely wiping
out the thinking of the Supreme
Court in the Dred Scott decision.
This amendment said all per-
sons born Or naturali2ed in the
United States are citizens and
no State can pass a law abridging
the privileges of a citizen or de-
prive him of equal protection of
the laws.

High Court Slowly Reversing
Old Decisions Against Negroes

(This 14th Amendment has
been a key in all the big, subse-
quent court decisions on Negroes,
particularly the part which guar
antees him equal protection Of the
laws.)
But slowly after this the South
ern States, full of former slaves,
began passing laws to segregate
Negroes from whites. In 1890
Louisiana passed law saying Ne
groes must be kept separate on
trains.
Did that violate the 14th
Amendment? The court had to
face it in 1896. It ruled that such
segregation law was not uncon-
stitutional.
Constitution Is Color Blind"
The Courts opinion said:
1--WE think the enforced separa-
ton of the races, as applied to
the internal commerce of the
State, neither abridges the i'm
munities of the colored man nor
denies him the equal protection
of the laws. within the meaning
of the 14th Amendment. -.
1--WE cannot say that a law
which authorizes or even requires
the separation of the two races
in public conyeyanceS is unrea-
sonable. 4. :" ~
L That was the majority opinion.
But one member Of the Court.
Justice John NJ. Harlan of Ken
lucky, disagreed very sharply and
said in his dissenting opinion:
"Our Constitution is color-blind
and neither knows nor tolerateS
classes among citizens =. in my
opinion the Judgment rendered
this day will, in time, prove to be
quite as pernicious as the decision
made by this tribunal in the Dred
Scott case.'
Since 1896 no court has ever
said the whole principle of segre-
CATION is wrong. It has simply
said that segregation or discrimi-
nation in this case or that one was
wrong. 1t has ruled on individual
cases in different fields, never on
the whole subject of segregation.
This week the court ruled that
the Southern Railroad must stop
segregating Negroes in dining cars
and that the University of Okla
homa must stop segregating one of
it's students, Negro.

Three Plans Endorsed
by AAA 10 Alleviate
Parking Problems

Three proposals to alleviate the
downtown parking problem here
were indorsed yesterday by the
District Advisory Board Of the
American Automobile Association.
At the same time, Congress was
urged to reinstate a provision for
81. .040. 800 in the District budget
for construction of a new bridge
over the Anacostia at East Capt.
tol street.
Both the parking and the bridge
proposals were contained in reso-
lutions adopted unanimously at
the boards final meeting of the
season In the Mayfiower Hotel.
Report of Committee.
To remedy the parking difficult
ties, the board indorsed the report
of its parking committee which
urged:
That the Commissioners lease
the site Of the Western Market,
Twenty-first and K streets NV
to private interests that would
build a new building to house the
market on the first floor and pro-
vide parking facilities on the up
Iper floors.
(The Commissioners yesterday
agreed ''in principle" to the West
ern Market proposal.)
That the Federal Government
take the necessary steps to regain
the parking plot behind the Dis
trict Building, Fourteenth street
and Pennsylvania avenue NV,
and construct facilities to provide
for both surface and underground
parking. The resolution urged that
the plot also be handicapped in
keeping with the Identification
plans suggested by the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission.
That the Civil Service Building,
which occupies the block between
Seventh and Ninth streets and F
and G streets NV, be sold to
private interests for construction
of building to be used for both
commercial and parking purposes.
The board first recommended this
action two years ago.
Would Reverse Ruling.
The resolution also urged the
Commissioners to seek a reversal
of a ruling by the Corporation
Counsel to permit parking wher-
ever possible in the downtown
area on space between "the build
ing line and the sidewalk" This,
the committee said, would provide
parking space for 600 cars in the
central business area.
The East Capitol street bridge
resolution was directed to the
Senate Appropriation subcommit-
tee on the District. It called at
tention to the fact that the House
subcommittee had deleted the
bridge provision from the budget
because the bridge had not then
been authorized by Congress
Since that time, however, The
bridge has been approved. II the
Senate would reinstate the ap-
preparation, it would be neces-
sary for the matter to go back Co
the House for concurrence.
