Western Cadets Again Win

Western High Schools snappy
cadets done 1t again.
For the fifth consecutive year,
the blue uniformed cadets marched
away yesterday with top honors
in the annual battalion competi-
tions at Central High Stadium.
The winning unit is under the
command of Maj. Gary A. Phil
lips. 17-year-old senior, of 5165
Macarthur boulevard NV.
Maj. Phillips gave all credit for
Westerns winning battalion to
Col. George A. Hawkins, cadet in
Structor.
He hasn't had a loser since
the first year he trained West
ern cadets" Gary said" That
year he vowed his cadets would
never lose again."
Col. Hawkins began training
Western cadets in 1887. The next
year the school placed 4th and
5th and won first place for the
next four years. During the next
three years, while the colonel was
serving in the war, the school
didn't quite make it. The winning
streak began again in 1916.

Second place in yesterdays S
competition went to Woodrow

Plan Studied 10 Open
Wing al Sousa TO Cut
Pupil Load al KimbaII

School officials are considering
opening an elementary unit in the
new Sousa Junior High School to
provide more class space for grade
children in far Northeast Wash
ington.
School Supt. Hobart M. Corning
tomorrow will recommend to the
building and grounds committee
Of the Board of Education that
this move be made.
Following committee meetings
tomorrow. the Board of Education
will hold its first regular meeting
Of the month At $50 pm.
Sousa, opened last month, has
only about 500 students. The
building was designed for 1000.
BY putting about six elementary
classes in one wing of Sousa, re-
lief from crowding at the Kimball
Elementary School would be pro-
vided.
Although Kimball has no part
time classes, school officials de-
scribe 1t as "full to the doors. :"
Nearly 900 students are enrolled
there-slightly over the capacity
OF the building.
Another item to be recon-
mended by DR.. Corning to a
school board committee is that
they take the first steps toward
getting stadium at Coolidge
High School to replace the one TO
be lost to the white schools by
the approaching transfer of Gen.
trail High School to colored stu
dents from Cardozo.
DR.. Corning will ask the board
to institute action to get land ad-
joining Coolidge High School.
The land in question is District
land. under the jurisdiction of the
District Recreation Board.
The boards personnel commit
tee yesterday approved a proposal
by DR.. Corning that would lead
eventually to the assignment Of
two counselors to each junior and
senior high school in the city and
one at each vocational high
school.
Counselling Of students in study
habits, personal problems and job
training now is done by teachers
who have specialized in the work
They do not carry the title of
counsellor on the records, however.
The personnel committee also
discussed DR.. Corning's plan for
reorganizing the administrative
setup Of the elementary schools.
Action was deferred until further
studies on the effects of the
change are presented by DR.. Corn
ing.
The plan would reorganize the
system of divisional directors. At
present. a divisional director is
responsible for a geographical
group of elementary schools. Under
the new plan. he would be re-
sponsible for a certain field on a
city wide basis.

Justices Seek Details
On Oklahoma. Chance
In Glass Segregation

A change in the racial segrega-
ton setup at the University OF
Oklahoma became a major ques-
ton in the Supreme Court today
as the tribunal heard a further
attack on the practice of "separ-
ate but equal" school facilities for
Negroes and whites.
InSlstent questioning by Chief
Justice Vinson brought out that
the university now has a greatly
modified" form of segregation
G. w. McLaurin, Negro, origi-
nally complained to the courts
that he was Disseminated against
by being forced to sit in an anti
room while attending law school
classes with white students.
Robert L. Carter, an attorney
for Mr.. McLaurin, conceded that
the new arrangement allows Negro
students in the same classrooms
with whites and that "a Negroes
now attend University of Okla
homa classes.
Questioned on Details.
He explained, however, that
Negroes occupy separate rows of
desks. He contended that this
still amounts to racial discrimina-
ton that violates a constitutional
guarantee of equal protection for
all citizens
But Chief Justice Vinson wanted
to know "how are we to consider
this If the present situation does
not conform to the facts in the
original complaints?"
Justice Frankfurter also sharp
1y questioned Mr.. Carter for de-
tails about the university's present
arrangements for Negro students.
Justice Clark, who disqualified
himself yesterday in case in
volving racial segregation on rail-
road dining cars, took an active
part in the questioning today
about public education racial
segregation.
Treated Differently"
In answer to his questions about
the increase in the number of
Negro students at the University
of Oklahoma and the modified"
segregation in effect there, Mr..
Carter declared:
Mr.. Justice Clark, our main
objection is not confined to
whether Mr. McLaurin had to sit
in an anteroom. We object be-
cause Negroes at the University
OF Oklahoma are picked out and
treated differently because they
are colored. This is a denial of
equal treatment and violates the
18th amendment"
Later today the Supreme Court
was to hear arguments involving
the same basic issue of separate
but equal facilities in public edu-
cation. The case originated in
Texas where a Negro, Heman
Sweat, was refused admission to
the University of Texas Law
School. He previously had re-
fused to attend law classes in what
he regarded as an inadequate
State Law School established for
Negroes in Texas.

some consideration"
Judge Chestnut also asked
do you think these monies
were Christmas gifts, Mr.. Nc
Cullough?"
L don't know whether they
were Christmas gifts or Easter
gifts or what" said the lawyer.
Intent to Defraud Denied.
Judge Chestnut said he was re-
luctant to order the pre-sentence
investigation because he felt it
would shed no light of value to
the court. He added that about
all the probation officer could do
would be to talk to Sheriff's
friends and acquaintances, who
probably would report favorably
on him. Nevertheless. he author
lied the investigation.
Mr.. Mccullough then pleaded
that Sheriff had no intention of
defrauding the Government. He
said Sheriff simply was afraid to
report the money he had gotten.

sheriff expired in 1916, he became

As an observer for Mr.. Bowie to

County should take any legal ac-
ton. He had no comment after
the court session.
Matter for State Court.
Mr.. Ramsey told reporters after
court that any prosecution on the
angle of protection money would
be a matter for the State court
and was out of Federal court juris-
diction.
Does this constitute bribery?"
he was asked.
The prosecutor replied that a
bribe is paid to an official to do
or not to do something within his
power to do. Sheriff, he said,
lacked enforcing powers over
gamblers.
Deputy Attorney General J.
Edgar Harvey of Maryland said
he would not undertake at this
time to say what State charges
should be pressed, if any.
He said he was not certain
whether the Maryland law on
bribery is broad enough to cover
the matter but added that 1t
might come within the section
dealing with malfeasance in office.
Matter of Limitation.
With respect to malfeasance
however, Mr.. Harvey said there is
one-year statute Of limitations
provision. Since bribery is peni-
tentiary offense, there is no lin
itation on prosecution, he added
MIR. Harvey said that in Maryland
the statute of limitations does not
apply to any penitentiary offenses

TRUMAN'S ACTION

There was considerable re-

statement concerning the
state of affairs in Korea. Sc

the Presidents action as a cla-
rion call to the people of the

aggression and stand up for
ideals of human liberty. He
said the Presidents statement
is not selfish. The people Of the
US. are seeking the peace Of
the world; we are seeking the
preservation of the United Ma
tions. The statement is one of
firmness and clarity and ex-
presses the views of the Anne
rican people. We are not seek
ing war; we want only peace,
but we demand peace with
honor and integrity.
