Sweat is employed as postal
carrier in Houston, Tex. He be-
came interested in law after he
got what he considered a bad deal
when he first passed his test fol
postal clerk but was given a job
as a carrier instead.
In the second big case, Elmer
Henderson is seeking permission to
eat freely without any discrimina-
ton while travelling on trains. His
suit has been pending much longer
than Sweatt's.
1t dates back to May II, 1912
when as a member of the Federal
Fair Employment Practices Com
mission he could not get a table
in the dining car on a train from
Washington, D. c., to Birmingham
He could not even get served at a
jimcrow table hid by curtains.
Henderson's case now has one
government agency fighting an
other in the final disposition of
the case. The Supreme Court has
taken it as an appeal from a de-
cision of the Interstate Commerce
Commission fighting for Hender
son against the ICC which upholds
the jimcrow doctrine.
Backing by Henderson is the
Justice Department with Atty,
Gen. J. Howard McGrath present
ing a brief in person.
Probably the most active agent
in both cases has been the NAACP
which has taken the case for both
men who have been fighting for
years for their rights as citizens
of this nation.

Among Us 7 eens

NO MIDDLE WAY-Teens are
well settled on the progress of the
long bob. At any rate. the weekly
haircut is a thing Of the past for
many of us. Despite all we have
ever said these past months on
the convenience and chic of the
short cut. and that we would
never, never, grow long tresses
again, many of us are busily en-
couraging our head skeins to
stretch out again to shoulder
length. But there's no happy me-
dium. We either want to look
very sheared and shorn, or we
want the long, languid droop of
swooping silk. So while it's
growing out" we encourage it by
swirled curls to stay close to the
head. in a camoufage imitation
of the short bob. When it does
get longer we're very neat about
it, brushing 1t straight back and
behind the ears and fastening it
back with barrette, rubber band,
or ribbon. The center part is good
with this new style.
X X " Il
SPORT STYLE EYEGLASSES
The wearing Of optics doesn't
keep teens from playing basket
ball. They fasten the glasses
firmly behind their ears with hit
tie strips of adhesive tape. Others
use frames with perforations in
the ear hooks-through which
they string worthy rubber bands,
ribbon, or twine. to be tied to-
gether at the back Of the head.
CHICKENHEAD-This is cruel
term which Teens apply to one an
other in an effort to correct pos
ture. It means you stand up
straight. but lead with your head
like a chicken. We have to try to
put our head on our shoulders
where it belongs! A good way to
pretend somebody is pulling you
straight up by the hair on the top
of your head, so you have to
stretch up and almost walk on tip
toes to avoid saying "Ouch"
The Leaning Tower" posture is
another mistaken Teen favorite.
It's that 45-degree angle forward
which makes a Teen look as If he
or she's going to fall any minute.
When you walk this way, you may
think you're getting somewhere in
a hurry, but really you're not!

Makes Progress In
Race Relations
By Albion L. Foster

EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill. (ANP)
Progress in race relations is being
made in East st. Louis = not be-
cause of any particular "change
of heart on the part of white citi-
zens who adhered to a Jim crow
policy in the past, but rather be-
cause of the aggressiveness on the
part of Negroes themselves aided
by a small number of liberal
whites.
Last year when a suit was filed
which would have deprived the
local board of education of much
needed school funds, the board de-
cided that jim crow schools were
undesirable and Immediately abol-
ished them. At the time, it was
predicted that there would be
racial clashes. Nothing happened,
except that a few die-hards kept
their children away from school
two or three days.
| Now it is not an uncommon
sight to see white and colored
children playing together in per-
feet harmony on some school
grounds. 1t is said some Negroes
fought against integrated schools
and discouraged their children
from going to white schools,
they had to pass them in order to
reach the ones they had previous
ly attended. 1t is also reported
that some white children, planning
to register at colored schols, were
discouraged by Negroes.

never become a claw" is the opin-
ion of keen students Of political
minds as they see the FEPC be-
coming the football for both part
les neither actually scoring with
it.
Like it's predecessors, the anti
lynch bill, which has never passed
the legislative bodies but has been
banged back and forth for a
quarter Of a century, FEPC pro-
misses to stick around a long, long
time in the eyes of one particular
observer in congress-, who pre-
fers to remain unnamed.
However, he recalls a statement
issued nearly Is years ago by an
outstanding Republican when his
opinion was sought on the anti
lynch bill. He said that if the bill
was passed, then the lobbyists
and proponents of it" would have
to look for other jobs.
FEPC makes goou campaign
fodder : = pro and con. With the
pros, it is a bait for the so-called
Negro vote and support of the
party in power. For the ants, it
is equally powerful to send them
back to congress from the die
hard states of the south where any
thing anti Negro is a vote getter.
Democrats are rejoicing over
the recent Supreme court rulings
on segregation in railway dining
cars and in schools. The total
number of Negroes affected by
the passage Of a strong fair en-
ployment law. Thousands of Ne
groes who travel do not know
what a dining car is for. The maj
ority Of them couldn't pay the
tariffs even if they wanted to eat
in the diner. They still cling to
the old shoe-box fried chicken
lunches and buy the cheap, stale
wares from the train butcher.
As for the graduate colleges of
the south, the number of Neg
roes who would seek admission is
so small, it's is unreasonable in
percentages. But work : every
body has to have a job Of some
kind and a ruling in this direction
would benefit the masses and not
the classes.
Democrats and Republicans both
know the arguments here and they
know that they can put up with
the small number of Negroes who
eat in diners and the even small
er number who will be doctors,
lawyers and engineers.
Yet the victory is not without
merits. The supreme court was
cagey enough not to enter the
wider field Of segregation, side
stepping that issue. Had this been
gone into that separate but
equal thing : : the howl from the
