Lawyer Reveals
Federal Bar
Association Bias

New York-George Crockett.
one of the defense counsel in the
trial of the eleven Communist Par
ty leaders in Foley Square last
year, revealed this week that the
Federal Bar Association had re-
jected him for membership in 1912
because they made practise of
barring Negro candidates.
He revealed this in a comment
on United States Solicitor Gener-
al Philip Perlman's speech be-
fore the Federal Bar Associations
Convention on April oath. In that
speech the Solicitor General sug-
gested that lawyers representing
national and political minorities
and unions be disbarred.
Mr.. Crockett said, "The Solicit
tor General would have done bet
ter to inquire into the Jimcrow
organization he was addressing.
He might have asked them why,
when an Assistant United States
Attorney General recommended
for membership in the Federal
Bar Association, a member of the
Bar of the United States Supreme
Court and Senior Attorney of the
United States Department of La
Dor, the candidate was rejected
solely because he was Negro.
Il was that candidate in 1912
Solicitor General Perlman's
suggestion before the Federal Bar
Association places his stamp of APP
prevail on that organizations Jim
crow lilywhite policy"
The Lawyers Defense Commit
tee added, If Solicitor General
Perlman had any reservations re-
specting democracy and equality
and the Sixth Amendment when
he took his cath of office, he did
not inform the American people
of that fact. His proposals, if
carried through, would leave mil
lions of persons who. because they
were members of national or poll
teal minority groups, or members
Of trade unions or groups of eiti-
zens organized to seek lower rem
tails or who expressed themselves
in favor of outlawing atomic wea-
pons without counsel in court.

ed TO assist the branches in spon-
sorship of the convention.

The heads of these institutions
are often chosen, not for their
ability as educators or administra-
tors. but depending upon how well
grounded they are in the particu-
lar faith which they represent,
and how many donations and con-
tributions they can secure for the
school, said Judge Rowland.
Although the jurist is not in "a
greement with all the forms Of
federal aid, however he makes
it clear that if there is to be fed
eral aid to anything, it would be-
gin with education.
I'VE accept aid of all kinds
from the federal government with
out any conjunction of conscience
aind yet many of us do not want
federal aid to education" said the
Judge.
Judge Rowland reviewed some
of the reasons for Americas be-
lief in separation of church and
state, and continued.
1T is sufficient to say that each
denomination is looking out for its
particular school. and there is GER
tainly no equality in some of these
schools"
Judge Rowland charged that all
denominations are guilty of block
ing legislation in the last congress
for aid to education. And their
very actions with regard to this
bill only goes to show that they
would put their UNCONVENTIONAL
interests above the welfare of this
nation.
