RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 2.-The
University of Virginia says that
until and unless State racial seq
regation policy is changed an
otherwise qualified Negro cannot
be admitted as a graduate law
student.
Answering petition by Negro
seeking a Federal court injunction
to prevent the university from
denying to members of his race
admission as graduate law stu
dents, the school said yesterday
is was bound to refuse Negroes
under law and policy as set forth
both in the State constitution and
in statute.
The plaintiff, Gregory Hayes
Swanson of Martinsville, was
denied entry to the law school by
the board of visitors on July IA.
He filed his injunction request in
Federal District Court in Char
lottesville on August 9.
Agent of the State.
Answering the petition, univer-
sity officials contended that as
agents of the State they must
abide bl State policy and can
neither disregard nor change it.
They admit that Mr.. Swanson
is fully qualified to take graduate
work at the law school, except
for his race.
But, they add. until State ra-
cial policy is changed or modi-
fled by legislation or declared un-
constitutional by a court of COM
petent jurisdiction, the uniVer-
sity cannot admit him.
The university's answer seeks
to narrow the grounds of the case
to Negro citizens of Virginia de-
string admission as graduate law
students. Mr.. Swanson had men
toned "all other Negro citizens
of Virginia similarly situated,
in his petition.
The university said that the
State already had provided sepa-
rate educational facilities for Ne
groes, corresponding to some di-

visions of the University of Vir-

other facilities might be pro-
vided for Negroes who might seek
admission in university divisions
for which there are now no cor
responding facilities for Negroes.
Only otherwise qualified Negro
citizens seeking admission to the
law school on a graduate basis,
the university said, are "simi-
larly situated"

Truman Forbids Loan
To Spain as He Signs
Big Supply Measure
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

President Truman has signed a
giant $35,554. .600,425 Government
money bill and served notice he
will not now permit a loan to
Spain which the bill says shall
be made.
Mr.. Truman, penning his sig
nature to the bill yesterday, said
in a statement that this Gov
eminent will lend money to
Franco Spain when that will
serve the interests Of the United
States In the conduct of foreign
relations.
The Spanish loan provision
wasn't the only thing he didn' t
like about the bill, which carries
funds to operate most Of the Gov
ernment during the year which
started July l.
Economy Rider Protested.
He termed "unwise and dan
gerous" a requirement that the
administration reduce spending
for non-defense purposes by at
least $3.50 million.
This unusual provision rep
resents failure by the Congress
to exercise its proper RESPONSE
bility for enacting appropriations
to conduct the Government S
business" the President said.
He promised. however. that If
reductions under the amount
voted by Congress can be made
without impairing essential serv-
ices. II shall make them" He
added:
In effect. the bill requires the
executive branch to revise the
judgment of the Congress on indi-
vidual programs to meet an over
all arbitrary reduction"
May Impound Spanish Fund.
His comment about the loan to
Spain presumably Is the forerun-
ner Of a formal order impounding
the 62,500.00 voted by Congress
for that purpose.
The President has in the past
tied up funds which Congress
voted for such purposes as expan-
sion Of the Air Force. His author
ity to do so has not been seriously
challenged.
Mr.. Truman said he regarded
the Spanish loan provision as an
authorization. over and above au-
thority now in existence, rather
than "as directive, which would
be unconstitutional"
Spain is not. and has not been,
foreclosed from borrowing money
from this Government" he added,
saying such loans will be made
whenever mutually advantageous
arrangements can be made"
The bill is the first in modern
history which attempted to lump
all regular Government funds in
one package. Now another $16.7
billion emergency bill to meet in
creased defense needs is pending.

Historians Want Story Of
Negro Taught In School

ATLANTA - (ANP) - Meet
ing in Atlanta for it's 35th annual
conference last week, the Assoc
iation for the Study of Negro Life
and History urged more study of
Negro history in American schools
and elected officers.
Elected to office were the fol-
lowing incumbents: DR.. Rayford
w. Logan, director of research;
Mrs. Mary Mcleod Bethune,
president and L. r. Mehlinger,
secretary-treasurer.
The administration promised to
carry on the work started by the
late Carter G.. Woodson, most
famed of all Negro historians and
founder of the association.
Highlights of the meeting was
the demand by several speakers
for the teaching of Negro history
in more American schools
throughout the nation. DR.. R. o.
Johnson of Morris Brown college
keynoted this tune when he said:
1--WE must face the fact that
most people of the United States
are not familiar with the Negroes
contribution to the social heri-
tage which is ours as Americans.
Rather they are victims of
deliberate and vicious effort of
long duration to distort the facts
in order to prevent not only
Whites from accepting the Negro
as person and as an equal but
also to keep the Negro from re-
garding himself as an equal of
other people. Although this cam
paign has been successful, Ne
groes have individually and COL
lectively been able to refute
through their own achievements
the theory of inequality.
"This together with the general
awakening of the masses of Ne
groes and the fact that the out
side world has selected the Negro
as the barometer of the reality of
practical democracy in the Unit
ed States, creates the psychologist
cal readiness among the American
people for a new approach to the
Negro and the part which he has
PLAYED in the building of our So
cial heritage and the part which
he can and should play in the
future"
Universities should be encourage
ed to develop negro studies
In a report, DR.. L. D. Reddick
and c. A. Bacote, history profess
sors. Atlanta university, declared:

eral, especially the larger ones,

"This will mean tn employment
of more Negro scholars in so-call-
ed White colleges. This recon-
mendation, however, does not rest
upon the assumption that only a
Negro scholar is qualified to pro-
mote or pursue Negro studies. The
term Negro studies refers to a
subject area, not to the skin color
of the scholar"
