Workers Earnings Continue
To Decline

Washington, DC. = Seasonal de-
clines in industrial activity and the
effects of the steel strike brought
average weekly earnings for the 11.2
million production workers in the Ma
tons manufacturing establishments
down to $54.45 in mid-November,
75c below the October level, accord
ing to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The earnings decline was largely
due to a shortening of the work-week
by half an hour to an average of 1872
hours, BIS stated. Hourly earnings
showed little change over the month.

Much Federal Money Spent On HEALTH

velopment of clinic and nursing SER
vies.
Federal funds expended for control
of venereal disease in Montana
amounted to 500, 900 in the fiscal year
1949.
Under the Hospital Survey and
Construction Act of 1916, Montana
received $4,000 during the year for
surveying its needs for hospitals and
health centers and for the construc-
ton of hospitals. This represents only
funds actually paid over during the
fiscal year by the Federal Govern
ment; not the total amount allotted
to the state for hospital survey and
construction.
Consultation services and technical
aid to the state in various phases of
its hospital program were also furn-
ished by the Public Health Service.
In the fields of cancer and men
tai health, grants in the amount of
$4,000 were made for cancer control
and $4,000 for mental health ac-
tivities.
In addition to grants given directly
to the state, one research grant
a total of $4,000 was
made to universities, hospitals and
other research institutions in Mon
tana. Teaching Partnerships and fell
lowships awarded in the state amount
ed to $4,000. This money was for re-
search in the causes and methods of |
of the diseases of man,
including cancer, infectious diseases,
diseases of old age, malnutrition,
and the effects of various industrial
processes and environ

VOLTFU WANTS BRANNAN
PLAN ENACTED
Wolf Point, Montana
January 6, 1850

| JANUARY ., lJ0U
| Be it resolved that we the men,
bers of Volt local Farmers Union do
request our members in Congress to
work increasingly for a permanent
farm program along the lines of the
Brannan Plan, or a similar plan as
suggested by the National Farmers
Union.
We are against flexing programs,
be they go, 70, 80, or 80 per cent
We are for 100 per cent of parity,
and against wage cut for farmers.
We are for our rightful share of the
national income.
This in our opinion is the only way
to avoid bad depression, which is
already on in farm buying.
We are not frightened about get
ting subsidy or being regimented,
knowing full well that many large
business interests have been subsidiz-
ed for many years, such as the ship
ping interests, aviation, newspapers,
oil interests and many others.
In view of the above facts stated,
we urge immediate passage of truly
worthwhile farm program.-JULIUS
CESS, pres; MRS. BEN THOMP-
SON, secretary.

Sasscer Attacks Cut
In Annapolis Quota;
SAYS Il Weakens Nav,
by the Asseciesed Press

The Navy notified Congress
yesterday that as an economy
measure it plans to cut down on
the number of midshipmen train
ing at the Naval Academy at An
napolis.
Representative Sasscer. Demo-
crat. of Maryland. whose district
includes Annapolis. promptly crit
icized the move as a step toward
weakening our Navy" He fired a
letter to Navy Secretary Matthews
urging that the decision be re-
considered. Mr.. SaSscer said the
cut was hard to reconcile with
Defense Department appeals to
Congress for extension Of the
Draft Act.
Vice Admiral j. w. Roper. chief
of Navy personnel. sent a memo
randum to all Senators and Rep
resentatives notifying them of
Gllc IllUfe.
Admiral Roper said that begin
ming with the class of 1855. which
enters the academy In June. 1851,
the Navy will reduce from five to
four the number of Annapolis ap-
pointments each member of Con-
gress may make.
He said living quarters at the
academy are designed for also
midshipmen. but about 3.400 are
now ION board" and the total is
expected to reach 3,700 by Oc-
tober Of this year.
Admiral Roper said that along
with the cut in congressional ap-
pointments there would be "a
corresponding reduction in other
quotas"
However, he said there will be
no reduction in the Presidents
right to make rs academy ap-
pointments from among the sons
of officers and enlisted men of the
Regular Army. Navy and Marine
Corps.
Admiral Roper said that instead
Of asking Congress for an esti-
mated $2s million to expand the
academy's facilities Gin these
times of essential retrenchment, :"
it was decided to cut the size of
the academy's brigade of future
officers.

mitted to eat at the same time in
the cafeteria as other students, al
though here again he is assigned
to a special table.
1t is said that the separations i'm
posed by the State IN this case are
in form merely nominal. McLaurin
uses the same classroom, library and
cafeteria as students Of other races:
there is no indication that the seats
to which he Is assigned in these
rooms have any disadvantage Of
location. He may wait in line in
the cafeteria and there stand and
talk with his fellow students, but
while he eats he must remain apart.
These restrictions were obviously
imposed in order to comply, as
nearly as could be, with the statu-
tory requirement of Oklahoma. But
they signify that the State, in ad-
ministering the facilities it affords
for professional and graduate study,
sets McLaurin apart from the other
students. The result Is that appel
liant is handicapped in his pursuit of
effective graduate instruction. Such
restrictions impair and inhibit his
ability to study, to engage in dis
Icussions and exchange views with
other students, and. in general, to
learn his profession.
Need for Leaders Grows.
Our society grows increasingly
complex, and our need for trained
leaders increases correspondingly
Appellants case represents, perhaps,
the epitome of that need, for he is
attempting to obtain an advanced
degree in education, to become, by
definition, a leader and trainer of
others. Those who will come under
his guidance and influence must be
directly affected by the education
he receives. Their own education
and development will necessarily
suffer to the extent that his train
ing Is unequal to that Of his class
mates. State-imposed restrictions
which produce such inequalities
cannot be sustained.
1t may be argued that appellant
will be in no better position when
these restrictions are removed, for
he may still be set apart by his
fellow students. This we think ir-
relevant. There is a vast difference
"a constitutional difference - be-
tween restrictions imposed by the
State which prohibits the intellec-
tual commingling of students, and
the refusal of individuals to COM
mingle where the State presents no
such bar.
The removal of the State restric-
tions will not necessarily abate in
dividual and group predictions,
prejudices and choices. But at the
very least, the State will not be
depriving appellant of the oppor-
tunity to secure acceptance by his
fellow students on his own merits.
We conclude that the conditions
under which this appellant is re-
quired to receive his education de-
prive him of his personal and pres
ent right to the equal protection
of the laws. :. We hold that under
these circumstances the Fourteenth
Amendment precludes differences in
treatment by the State based upon
race. Appellant, having been admit
teP to State-supported graduate
school, must receive the same treat
ment at the hands of the State as
students of other races.

it as soon as it does for applicants
of any other group" That case
did not present the issue whether
a State might not satisfy the equal
protection clause of the Fourteenth
Amendment by establishing a sepa-
rate law school for Negroes" -.
Hughes Decision Cited.
In Missouri ex rel. Gaines v. Can
ada, 305 United States 337, 351
1888, the court, speaking through
Chief Justice Hughes, declared that
Sc. petitioners right was a personal
one. 1t was as an individual that
he was entitled to the equal protec-
ton Of the laws, and the State was
bound to furnish him within its
borders facilities for legal education
substantially equal to those the
State there afforded for persons of
the white race, whether or not other
Negroes sought the same opportu-
nity." These are the only cases in
this court which present the issue
Of the constitutional validity of race
distinctions in State-supported grad
uate and professional education.
In accordance with these cases,
petitioner may claim his full con-
stitutional right: legal education
equivalent to that offered by the
State to students of other races.
Such education is not available to
him in separate law school as
offered by the State.
We cannot, therefore, agree with
respondents that the doctrine of
Plessy v. Ferguson, 1896, re-
quireS affirmance of the Judgment
below. Nor need we reach petit
toners contention that PleSsy v.
Ferguson should be re-examined in
the light of contemporary knowl-
edge respecting the purposes of the
Fourteenth Amendment and the
effects of racial segregation.
We hold that the Equal Protec-
ton Clause of the Fourteenth
Amendment requires that petitioner
be admitted to the University of
Texas Law School. The judgment
is reversed and the cause is re-
manded for proceedings not incon-
sistent with this opinion.
