Judge Warning Finds Living
With Own Race Difficult

CHARLESTON. S. c. = (ANPH
The white world around Judge J
Waites Waring has almost com.
pletely isolated itself from the fed
eral jurist because of his stand on
civil rights for Negroes. White
neighbors shun both the jurist
and his wife.
There is bitter resentment against
the Warnings because of the Judges
ruling against the lily white primary
which gave South Carolina Negroes
Tor the first time, the right to vote
In the Democratic primaries. Dixie
Gratis also are angry over the pro-
Negro speeches the judge and his
wife have been making recently.
The 69-year-old judge and his
Yankee wife have no standing with
Dlxlecrats in any part of the south.
However, outside the south a small
liberal group which is growing,
nails the judge and his wife as lib
eFal and courageous leaders who de-
serve the support and plaudits of
all Negroes and progressive Whites.
Neither Judge Waring nor his
wife has advocated social mixing
or lnterracial marriage, but both
have indicted that they have no OBJ
lection to either relationship where
the parties concerned are in favor
of it..
I am not advocating any law TO
make any race associate with an
other. That is for the Individual to
decide. All 1 want is to abolish
legal bars to association" the
Judge has said.
Judge Waring believes that any
person entitled to civil rights ought
not to have to wait indefinitely to
get them. "Gradualism is a false
god," the jurist says, adding that
the only way to meet an issue Of
race relations is to meet it head on"
Some newspapers took advantage
of Judge Warnings reference to-
force as necessary to gain civil
rights for Negroes in a talk he made
recently in Richmond, Va. The jur-

Negroes Rackets Too

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - (ANP) -
Investigation following the recent
assassination of political boss Chas.
Binaggio has brought out that this
is one more city where Italians have
taken over the policy racket from
Negroes.
1t was disclosed here that Binag-
gio and others muscled in on old
time operators several years ago,
and took over so per cent Of the
profits from policy, which is operat-
ed on sneak basis here.
The Italians have taken over poll
cy in New York, in most southern
cities, in Cleveland, and st. Louis.
Chicago is one of the few major
cities where Negroes stu are re-
putedly in control of the operations.
It is said that much political pres
tige in that city is based on the un-
stable racket.

Virginia Rushes To
Equalize' Schools To
Avoid NAACP Suits

RICHMOND, Va. - (ANP) - The
drive for equalization of public
school facilities in Virginia for
White and Negro children sponsored
by the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People is
paying off. Many counties are
planning substantial improvements
for Negro schools.
In most cases, however, a dis
proportionate amount of funds is
being allocated for improvements in
White schools. In such cases, the
NAACP is going to ask for equal
facilities. If the school boards fail
to comply, court action will be insti-
tuted to compel equalization.
Sensing the almost failure to con-
test NAACP suits a number of
school boards have recently made
plans to improve Negro schools.

legal force as represented in court
orders compelling equalization of
educational facilities for both races
and other like court rulings smash
ing racial bias in American life.
Since thai talk was misinterpre-
tated Judge Warning has explained
that force doesn't mean soldiers
and bayonets. 1t means orders sign
by the President and the courts.
Il have observed, the judge said
recently, that if yoI throw the
races together by such force and Gre
ate status that is right, they will
come to accept it and be proud of it.
People learn TO live by law. and
learn to like it, the Jurist said in
