welfare and the best interests of

Reference to Family Ties.
The act, she added, also provides
that a child's family ties should be
strengthened wherever possible
and that when the child is re-
moved from his own family. he
should be given the custody. care
and discipline as nearly as possible
equivalent to that which should
have been given by his parents.
Judge Cockrill took cognizance
of court circle discussion of re-
ports of her harsh treatment OF
juvenile offenders when she issued
"a statement Saturday night de-
claring that where the social
facts indicate that it is possible
in terms OF security to the COM
munity for the child's adjustment
to be achieved while living in his
own home, it is my belief that it
should be attempted"
Judge Cockrill insisted, however,
that a difference of opinion over
the philosophy of dealing with
juvenile offenders was not the
basis for the designations. She
had said previously that it was
a question of administrative diff
ferences.
No Longer Bound by Word.
Judge Cockrill said today she
was advised in a telegram from
Miss Clary and Miss Fagrie that

Segregation
Continued From First Page

threw out Mr.. Henderson's COM
plant. They held that the table
arrangement did not result in un-
just discrimination. They also
stated that racial segregation of
interstate passengers is not for
hidden by the Constitution, the
Interstate Commerce Act or any
other law, so long as there is no
real inequality of treatment.
Justice Unit Opposes ICC.
The Supreme Court agreed last
November to review the Hender-
son case Early in this term the
Justice Department submitted a
brief in support of Mr.. Hender-
sons plea. The department was
in the unique position of opposing
another, Government agency, the
1CC. 1t asserted that the dining
car regulation was invalid both
under the constitution and the
Interstate Commerce Act and that
the ICC lacked power to approve
such a segregation system.
Justice Department spokesmen
asked the court last April to hand
down ruling that would prohibit
racial segregation by any public
agency.
Much of their attack. as we'll as
that of attorneys for Mr.. Hender-
son, centered on a Supreme Court
decision of 1896 in the case of
Plessy vs.. Ferguson. That decision
upheld a Louisiana law requiring
separate but equal railroad facili-
ties for Negro passengers. The
separate but equal" doctrine, now
found in many other communities
and activities, has been based
principally on that decision.
Hobbs Appears in Opposition.
Another unusual feature of the
arguments last April was the ap-
.pearance of Representative Hobbs,
Democrat. of Alabama, in opposi-
tion to the Justice Department.
Mr.. Hobbs told the court that he
spoke at the request of several
fellow members of the House Ju.
dietary Committee.
ITO adopt the contention of
Henderson would be the kiss of
death and render operation of the
railway impossible, he contended.
Fourteen times the House has
voted against anti-segregation pro-
posals. The Constitution granted
complete and exclusive power to
Congress to regulate interstate
commerce. In the exercise of that
power Congress has repeatedly re-
fused to require more than the
rules in question indicate"
The case. he said, should be
treated ION the principles of
existing law and not on philo-
sophical grounds or on political
evangelism"
