NEGRO STUDENTS NOT OBLIGED
TO ACCEPT OUT-0F-STATE AID
FOR COURSES Offered In
WHITE SCHOOLS OF STATE
COURTS SAYS EDUCATION MUST
BE EQUAL WITHIN THE STATE

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, April 23.-
The State of Maryland cannot re-
quire a colored student to accept
la scholarship at an out-of- state
institution for courses offered to
white students within the state,
the Maryland Court Of Appeals
ruled last Friday.
1t reversed a decision of Chief
Judge w. Conwell Smith of the
Baltimore City Court in the case
of Miss Esther McCready of Bal
timore, and ordered the issuance
Of a writ Of mandamus to compel
her admission to the University
of Maryland School of Nursing.
In handing down its decision.
the Maryland Court of Appeals
followed the decision of the United
States Supreme Court in two cases
the Lloyd Gaines case and the
Ada Lois Sipuel Fisher case.
The Supreme Court ruled in
the Gaines case that the State of
Missouri could not require Gaines
to attend an out-of-state school
to obtain a legal education while
it offered such education to white
students but that the State had
to admit Gaines to the University
of Missouri School of Law or pro-
vide separate equal training for
him within the State.
In the Fisher Sipuel case, the
high tribunal supplemented its de-
cision in the Gaines case by hold
ing that the State of Oklahoma
had to afford Mrs. Fisher legal
education offered at a state insti-
tuition at the same time as it af-
forded such education to white
students.
The Maryland court quoted at
length from the opinion Of the
late Chief Justice Charles E.
Hughes in the Gaines case, and
quoted in it's entirety an order of
the Supreme Court in the Fisher

Perry Howard To
Direct Campaign

JACKSON, Miss, April "a
(DSN) = The Regular Republican
Party Organization of Mississippi,
headed by Perry w. Howard, Ma
tional Republican Committeeman
for the state, beaten to the wire
under a new law enacted by the
recent state legislature by their
arch opponents, the Lilly White
Republicans headed by Ex-Gover-
nor George L. Sheldon of Ne
braska, now a resident of the state,
is seeking $4,000 with which to
combat the new law.
Under the new law which makes
it illegal for more than one group
to bear the name of a National
Political Party. The Regular Re-
publican Organization of the state
was outlawed when the Lilly White
Organization beat them to the
wire and registered under the new
law.
The new law, a proposition of the
Dixiecrats was said by its pro-
ponents to have been enacted for

LOCAL REAL estate MEN
FACING INCREASING Difficulty
IN OBTAINING PROPERTY FOR
BUILDING NEGRO HOMES
Present Negro Population Of City
Being Hemmed In Of All Sides
lnjunctiOns Stopping Construction
In Negro NeighbOrhOOds

JACKSON, Miss, April pa
(DSN)-The growth and develop
ment of the city of Jackson into
one of the South's principal and
most beautiful cities is seen as
being definitely handicapped and
particularly as far as concerns
its Negro population, by a growing
number of restrictive covenants, a
device written or unwritten to
prevent the sale of property to,
or for the use of persons on ac-
count of race, color or religion,
a device held illegal by the United
States Supreme Court.
In the face of the increasing
number Of restrictive covenants,
according to well informer sources,
local real estate men, with a grow
ing demand from Negroes seeking
home ownership, are facing more
and more difficulties in obtaining
property for building Negro homes.
According to well informed
sources, an organization with
money both for construction and
financing, has been seeking the
property on which to build a Ne
gro subdivision for several weeks
but has been met everywhere with
the statement, "We don't want no
Negroes to own any property
around here" This is reported
to have taken place in practically
every instance regarding undevel-
oped lands in southwest, west,
and northwest Jackson, both inside
and beyond the city limits.
In all of these cases the prop
erty in question is in an area al
ready partially developed or all
most surrounded by Negro resi-
dental areas.
Real estate men acquainted with
the present development regard
ing the obtaining of property for
construction Of Negro homes,
either for sale or for rent, see the
present Negro population, with
residential areas only in the south
west, west, and northwest, as be-

Kentucky College
Drops Bar Against
Negro Students

BEREA, KY, April 19.-Berea
college of Kentucky this week
opened its doors to Negro students
to all courses in the school, both
graduate and undergraduate.
Thus Berea college became the
first college in the South since
the turn Of the century to open
to Negro students on the same
basis as whites. BY taking this
action Berea returned to the pol
icy it maintained so well from
the end of the Civil War until
1904 when the Kentucky day law
banned mixed schools in the state.
The Berea board of trustees
voted last Friday, April IA, to ac-
cept qualified Negro" students
from the Appalachian Mountain
region. Their action was made
possible because of the recent
amendment Of the day law earlier
this year. This amendment al
lows Negroes and whites to at
tend classes together on a college
level both in graduate and under
graduate courses.
Under the new law boards OF
trustees of various colleges in
Kentucky would have to approve
the admission of Negroes first
The University of Louisville is
thinking of discussing the admis.
sion of Negroes.

tee legislative director, this week
conferred with Sen. Scott d. Lucas,

gore. ID, w. W about the Walter
Resolution.
He urged Sen. Lucas, Senate Ma
iority Leader, to press for an early
cal Of the calendar SO the Walter
Resolution may come up for consid-
Grafton.
Sen. Kilgore is Senate sponsor of
the resolution. MaSaoka reviewed
with him prospects for its passage
if. as anticipated the calendar does
come up this week. Masaoka said
the possibilities of passage are
good.
Sen. Kilgore signed the Senate
Judiciary Committee report of the
use-approved Resolution last year
which reported favorably on the
measure to remove race as bar
to naturalization.
That report said, in part: THE
Judiciary committee has carefully
considered the background of these
people from the standpoint of ASST
initiation and is satisfied that the
evidence of their fitness to become
citizens of the United States is over
whelming. Many of the aliens en-
braced in the Joint Resolution are
parents of native-born citizens Of
the japanese race who served in oul
armed forces during the war.
The committee is of the opinion
the resolution should be enacted.

After discussions on the bill, Ma

Now the Appropriations Com
mittee has further proposed to
reduce the japanese evacuation
claims funds to $4,000, 900 of which
only S25O.0O0 may be spent for ad-
ministrative purposes.
What this means is that the pro-
gram could drag out for Is or 20
years for lack of funds -. Neither
economy nor justice will be served
by dragging out this program for
many more years.
Rep. Hand said that Il subscribe
to what he (Masaokal says. I hope
the House will provide the proper
amount to do full justice While
there are billions in this (Appro-

there is another thing, Mr. Speaker,
that this great country can never

which supported the principle argu-
ments made by Masaoka for an in
crease in funds
Among other things. The Post OBJ
