(COntlnued FROM rage -
the requested refusal would be
based on the fact that South Caro-
lima has one of two accredited law
schools for Negroes in the Coun-
try. Ten Negro applicants to the
University of Delaware having
been rejected because of their
race, asked a court order last
week to force the school to admit
them Immediately. The Louisiana
Bar Association of New Orleans,
swore in the first graduates of
the separate and equal law
school for Negroes at Southern
University last week at the New
Civil Court House. The Univer-
sity of Maryland's Board of Reg
entS indicated last week they may
appeal to the u. S. Supreme Court
a state ruling opening the Univer-
sity's School of Medicine to a
young Negro student. The Mary
land Court of Appeals ruled re-
Gently that to send any student
out of the state to obtain an edu-
cation available at the university
would violate said students con-
stitutional rights. A resolution
was passed last week by the Texas
State Democratic Executive Com
mittee at meeting in Austin,
declaring that no Democrat shall
be excluded from any party func-
tions in the future because of race
or color. Alabama's State Legis-
lators have voted unanimously to
ignore the recent Supreme Court
rulings; Ditto "Humon" Talmadge
OF Georgia. Are you surprised? ?
John S. Chase of Austin, and Hor-
ace Heath of Waco, Texas, be-
came the first race students to
enter the University of Texas
Graduate School, following the
recent U. S. Supreme Courts de-
ciSion against segregation in u. S.
higher education. Last week at
San Francisco, a new precedent in
Methodist history was established
when Bishop Alexander Preston
Shaw, of Baltimore, presided over
the Southern California-Arizona
Annual Conference on the Red
lands University campus. The
Rev. A. L. Davis, was reelected
president of the Ideal Missionary
Baptist and Educational associa-
ton of the State of Louisiana last
week in the closing program of
the 18th annual session held at
Greater Mt. Zion Baptist Church
or New Orleans. President Tru-
man has been invited to address
the National Negro Business
League at its golden anniversary
meeting to be held at Tuskegee
Institute Aug. 80 through Septem-
Der 1St. The President was unable
to comit himself at this time but
expressed hope that he could ac-
cept the invitation and would at
tend the meeting if he could.
Chairman June P. Wooten of the
Pulaski County Democratic Com
mittee, refused the Rev. ]. H. Cat
lin, a Negro minister of Little
Rock, Ark, a place on the ballot,
when he sought to run for alder
man in Little Rock; on the sole
ground and because he is a Negro.
Negroes have been voting in the
Arkansas Democratic primaries
for a good many years and the
number has been steadily increas-
ing. Obviously, party rules which
permit man to vote without re-
striction and bar him from run
ming for office are highly incon-
Sistent. Attorneys for the Rev.
have announced that they will
take this case to court. Mrs. Eve
lyn Jordan of New York City, and
a part time employee at Lincoln
Hospital in Harlem, who, on
March 3Oth, kidnapped nine-day
old Chaneta Holden from a Lin
coin Hospital incubator, has been
committed to Matteawan State
Hospital for the Criminal Insane.
The infant had been given up for
dead by the authorities. However,
on April Oath, police found Chan
eta alive and thdiving in home
made incubator in Mrs. Jordan's
midtown hotel room.
Armisteal Scott Pride, dean of
the Lincoln (Mo) School of Jour-
nalism, was awarded a Doctor of
Philosophy degree at the gradua-
ton exercises of Northwestern
