Catholic Priest In
Fepc Radio Debate
With Dixiecrats

New Orleans--In a radio debate
with Louisiana's two leading Dixie
Gratis, Father Vincent J. O'Con-
nell urged the passage Of Fair
Employment Practices legsla-
ton as IAN effective cudgel against
racial discrimination in the South
Father OConnell, a Catholic pri-
est who heads the Catholic
Committee of the South, told the
radio audience that ITO deny any
man the right to a job is to deny
and defy Gods law"
He listed ten states and six cities
which have successfully adopted
FEPC legislation, pointing out that
"it is proven fact that acts of
discrimination can be checked by
law that has means of enforce
ment.'
1T is significant" Father O'Con-
nell said, chat Oregon, which
formerly had law without en-
forcement provisions, has adopted
a law providing enforcement pow
err"
In the open give and-take dis
cussion that followed the presen-
tation by the speakers of their pre-
pared statements, Father O'Con-
nell declared that he resented his
opponents advice mot to get into
these things" and stay out of "pur-
ely political matters"
The priest, who is professor Of
moral theology at the New Orleans
seminary, replied that racial dis
elimination is basically a moral
evil. .t

Southern States
Support Texas In
Sweat Case

Washington-The attorneys-gen-
eral of eleven southern states have
filed brief amicus curiae in
support Of the state of Texas in
the celebrated Sweat case. sched-
uled to be argued in the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People.
Taking issue with the conten-
ton of the NAACP that the en-
tire separate but equal doctrine
is unconstitutional, the brief states
that "the continued constitutional
thy of the separate system furn-
ishes an incentive TO southern
states TO provide more and better
schools, especially in higher edu-
cation, as the only way in which
separation can be maintained for
peace, harmony, and the general
welfare"
"The furnishing of equal educa-
tional privileges to all through
separate schools does not involve
discrimination" the brief states.
IF admittance to a separate
grade school or university for
whites is obtained by individual
Negroes because Of unequal facil-
tiles for their own race, 1t will
be understood by those who are
at fault ,.. Southern people know
that Negroes are entitled to
equal educational opportunities,
and they will share without con-
flict or resentment the result OF
any failure on their own part to
provide equality"
The theme of the brief Is that
anti-segregation ruling by the SUI
preme Court will result in the
complete breakdown of public ed
ucation in the south. Citing the
anticipation" of violence in E.
st. Louis, ILL.,, when segregation
was recently ended in the public
schools there, but not mentioning
the fact that no incident Of any
kind actually occurred, the brief
says: "The Southern States trust
that this Court will not strike
down their power to keep peace,
order, and support of their public
schools by maintaining equal sep
arate facilities. II the States are
shorn of this police power and
physical conflict takes place, as
in St Louis and Washington SWIM
ming pools, the States are left
with no alternative but to close
their schools to prevent violence"
A significant fact is that the
solidarity Of the previously solid
South" has apparently been crack
ed by the failure Of Alabama and
West Virginia to join in filing the
brief.

When Friends Fall Out
The Unusual Happens.

Because of trivial argument be
tween friends, continued until e.
motions reached the bursting
point, Alice Oliver, just 10, of 615
Hickory street, North Little Rock,
is dead, and her friend, Louise
Crumpton. of 1920 East Seventh
street, is in Jail fer investigation
about the killing.
Acquaintance of the two girls
told the following story:
According to them. the two girls
had been bosom companions for
more than a year. They visited
each other constantly and took
their amusement together. Trouble
began Thursday night when in the
midst of an argument about start
ing home, the Crumpton girl made
a remark which the other consi-
dered offensive. Alice therefore
made sharp retort. From then on
for the rest of the evening the as
soeiation Of the two held stormy
notes.
On Friday, the story ran, the
two were apparently reeonciled.
Louise visited Alice's home tested
with her, and played with her
Finally, they went out together as
formerly, with all differences APP
parently healed and forgotten. But
before the night had finished they
became involved in an argument
which led to tight in a Wash
ington street cafe. The two had TO
be separated and kept apart by
mutual friends.
On Saturday. they again seemed
reconciled, but during a session at
another cafe, the argument was re-
newed, Alice, it is said, ran from
the cafe and was pursued, caught.
