Outdoor Toilet
Reduction Told

Residents in the area north of
the Big Four shops who early in
June were ordered to take steps
within 30 days to climate their
outdoor toilets have cooperated
with the city for the most part,
an official said today.
"A dozen or so already have
completed their indoor toilets
since we sent out the notices,
Alderman p. j. Rebman. chairman
of the health committee of the
city council, told The Courier.
"They seem to be doing fine.
Several of them called me and
asked that we give them little
more time, and we are willing TO
90 along on that" he added.
Residents in the northwest por-
ton of tht city who were not in
the area included in the June mail
ing list have manifested an inter
est in getting something done a
bout unsanitary conditions, Reb-
man disclosed.
urbana city officials, working
closely with Champaign Urbana
public health district officers, have
been making quiet plans for "go-
ing after" the northwest Urbana
area next.
Rebman said the health district
has taken over the inspection of
homes in the Big Four shop area
City ordinances give health dis
trict inspectors backing in enforc-
ing their regulations.
The council took action to force
a showdown in the northeast part
Of town after the majority of the

make connections to a sanitary
sewer line put in by the city about

property owners.
Harry Minard. health district in
spector, has inaugurated periodic

NAACP PROTESTS BIAS
BY CABLE COMPANY

New York, June Is. = A second
protest against apparent racial
discrimination by the American
Chain and Cable CO., Inc, was
made this week by Franklin II.
Williams, assistant special counsel
of the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People.
Prompted by letter which came
to his attention, in which a sale
manager of the company indicat-
ed TO a distributor that two pro-
spective customers in the Bronx
We're both colored people" and
suggested that the distributor
/ give them price on the erected

| Williams wrote the company :
general manager.
In response to a reply from the
company's vice president, stating
that the company disapproves OF
racial discrimination and that thu
racial reference was purely
general statement for identified
ton" the NAACP attorney wrote
1T hardly seems necessary T.
mention the race of potentia

ST. LOUIS DAILY RAPS
ALABAMA FOR DEFYING
COURTS EDUCATION RULING

What kind of figure does the
Alabama Legislature think it pre-
SCENTS before the country when il
defies the Supreme Courts deci-
sions against education segregat-
ed education of Negro students in
tax-supported universities ?
1t is not only generally-known
but notorious fact that when
segregated education is provided
for Negroes it is inferior to the.
education provided for whites,
even when as is often the case
in the South and in other parts
of the nation--the latter is not
of very high order. In Alabama
IN the latest year for which the
figures are available the per capt.
Ia expenditure for Negro pupils
was less than one-third the amount
of expenditure for white pupils.
When the legislator at Mont
gomery say, therefore, that "the
way of life of the Southern people"
depends on segregation in all the
schools, they are saying in effect
that their way of life would be
threatened by giving Negroes as
good an education as is given to
whites. Can anyone actually re-
spect a way of life based on
degrading the minds of one arbi-
trarily-selected element of the
population?
We commend to the Legislature
of Alabama the words of Robert
Charles Winthrop:
Slavery is but half abolished,
emancipation is but half complet-
ed, while millions of freemen are
left without education. Justice to
them, the welfare of the states
in which they live, the safety of
the whole republic, the dignity of
the elective franchise-all alike
demand that the still remaining
bonds Of ignorance shall be I'M
loosed and broken, and the minds
as well as the bodies of the eman-
cipation 60 free"
