-UNS)-Four Negro law stu
dents seeking admittance to the
university of North Carolina Law
School were refused in decision
handed down yesterday by Judge
Johnson j. Hayes, of the North
Carolina Superior middle district
court.
Judge Hayes stated in his decis-
ion that the law school at. the
North Carolina College for Negroes
was equal and in some cases super
Tor to the law school at the Uni
versity.
He compared the size of the
schools North Carolina College
has but % students, while the Uni
versity has 300 and stated that
the plaintiff had, in many cases
better opportunity to use library
books and had less trained
teaching staff.
Answering charges that the
Negroes would not gain as much
prestige from their present law
school as they would from the Uni
versity, the Judge stated that they
would gain nothing in business
contacts since most of their clients
would be from the Negro race.
A similar ruling in. case involv-
ing the University of Texas was
handed down last year.

That compliment was paid to

has been keeping an eye on the
unit since it was first committed
into action over a month ago in
Korea.
The unit is one of two Negro

lest part of the divisions artillery
force. It's job is to give general
support to the entire division.
For more than a month the unit
has been pounding the Reds along
the bloody Naktong river route
and the standard it has set is a
challenge to member units of the
division.
The booming blast from one of
its big weapons can reach out and
strike the enemy 10 miles. away
with a 95-pound projectile.
At the time of this writing the
battalion has had only four COM
bat casualties, two of which were
ambush incidents.
In the words of Maj. Edwin
Clapp, Sheridan, Wyo., battalion
executive officer: "The battalion
has done everything it has been
asked to do, so therefore we sus-

In day and night bombardments
on enemy positions, the unit has
destroyed or damaged bridges,

positions and various vehicles rang

But the Red troops themselves
have saught most of the lethal
blow. In one terrorizing attack.
when the enemy tried to cross the

turned on six of its guns and after
40 minutes the river was Uttered
with Communist dead. One report
