NAACP in Virginia
Halls Court Decision
On Arlington School

The Virginia State Conference,
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People, yes
terday hailed q ruling of the 4th
Circuit Court Of Appeals in the
Arlington school discrimination
case.
The organization declared at
Richmond that it received word
Of the decision with deep pleas
ure."
In an opinion by Judge Morris
A. Soper. the appellate court de-
clared Arlington fails to provide
Negro pupils with educational op-
portunities provided whites. The
court said the county therefore is
guilty of discriminating because
OF race.
The Appeals Court thus re-
versed decision of last Decem-
Der by Federal Judge Albert v.
Bryan, sitting in the District Court
at Alexandria.
The NAACP declared the new
decision marks another forward
step in the quest of minorities for
freedom from racial discrimina-
ton in the public educational pro-
ceSSes of Virginia"
The organization was quoted by
the Associated Press as saying
that Negro citizens long have lin
dulged" school authorities in many
areas without obtaining equaliza-
ton of school facilities.
It said 1t intends to fulfill
pledges to continue efforts for
equalization until "all racial dis
elimination in any public school
unit has been eradicated, and by
immediate suit in all areas where
no other satisfactory alternative
Is presented"
Leon A. Ransom, Washington
lawyer who helped prosecute the
suit against Arlington, said the
ultimate goal is abolition of seq
regation.

London Cubbies Strike
For Bigger Slice of Fare
By the Associoted Press

LONDON, June 2.-Taxicabs
were scarce in London today as
1000 hack drivers went on strike
to enforce demands for q bigger
slice Of fares.
About 1900 cabs operated by
owner-drivers were not affected
by the strike but virtually all
union members refused to work.
Taxi fares went up one-third
yesterday and the drivers said
they had less business and smaller
tips. London cabbies receive no
salaries and in the past have re-
tanned one-third of the fares plus
tips. They are striking to get q

Text of Appeals Court Opinion on Arlington Schools

ence to the elective card from Dun
bar or the elective card handed the
teacher in June, 1949.
He verified the fact that neither
Latin nor chemistry would be given
the pupil in the 1949-l950 session.
1t seems abundantly clear that
the school had noticed that the
student desired Latin in 1949-1s50.
and that it was refused, although
1t was given at that time to white
pupils.
julius Brevard attended Arm
strong Technical High School in
the District of Columbia during the
l948-49 session and enrolled at Hoff-
Boston in September, 1s49 be-
cause of the rate of tuition at
Armstrong.
He testified that he had taken a
course in auto mechanics while at
Armstrong which included drafting
and blueprint reading, but an exam
ination of his transcript from that
school fails to disclose any credits
for auto mechanics. +
However, it Is not denied that he
requested Of the principal at Hoff-
man Boston on September s, 1949,
the first day of the term, course
in auto mechanics and that he was
told that such a course would not
be offered at Hoffman Boston dur
ing that term. Two days later he
appeared as q witness in the instant
case and reaffirmed his desire to
take the course.
Opinion by Trial Court.
It was held by the trial court
that the course was not seriously
pressed by Brevard because the re-
quest was made to the principal
while he was on his way to his
office and he had no opportunity to
discuss the matter with the student
so as to give final decision.
We do not think that it can be
said that the course was refused
because of the casual manner in
which it was presented.
The true reason undoubtedly was
that no course in auto mechanics
could be taught at Hoffman Boston
because of the lack of suitable IA
cilities and equipment for instruc-
tions in this course.
White students desiring the
course were not required to make q
previous application for it.
A sufficient showing has been
made by Peggy Council and Julius
Brevard to justify further proceed
ings on their behalf in the District
Court.
The Judgment Of the District
Court Is reversed and the case Is
remanded for further proceedings.
Reversed and remanded.

Hoffman-Boston Is unsatisfactory
and it seems that she has since
married and withdrawn from the
school. So far as she is concerned
the controversy is at an end.
Upon graduating from junior nigh
school, Peggy Council attended
Dunbar High School in Washington
for the second semester of the 1947-
48 session for which Arlington
County paid her tuition; but in
September, 1949, after the county
discontinued payment of tuition, she
entered Hoffman Boston. Her testi-
mony was, In effect, as follows:
Prior to leaving Dunbar, she had
been advised that two years OF
Latin and some chemistry are pre-
requisites for a college nursing
course which she intended to take
after completion of high school, and
although she had not taken any
Latin at Dunbar, she expected to
do so during her last year.
Filled Out Elective Sheet.
Accordingly, she requested Latin
on an elective sheet which she filled
out while at Dunbar and which was
forwarded to Hoffman-Boston when
she transferred to that school in
September, 1913. While at Hoffman
Boston in May, 1949, she filled out
another elective sheet, which she
delivered personally to the principal
This card did not mention Latin be-
cause she was under the impression
that Latin would not be offered at
the 1949 fall term at Hoffman
Boston, but upon learning that it
would be offered, she submitted an
other elective card to her teacher
in June of 1949 upon which she re-
Quested Latin.
After transferring to Hoffman
Boston she was told by the princi-
pal that she could receive one and
one-half years of Latin prior to
her graduation and that he would
see that she would be allowed to
take the remaining one-half year
in Washington without much ex-
pense to her parents.
None Of this testimony was denied
by the principal Of Hoffman, Boston
who testified for the defendants. He
merely produced the elective card
Of May. 1949. and made no refer

Makes Political History
IN WASHINGTON

IRON ANY YARDSTlCK, the
4 Democratic national committee
has set precedent and made po-
litical history as result of the
three-day Jefferson jubilee meet
ing in Chicago.
Whether the meetings and the
speech of President Truman will
bring additional votes into the
Democratic fold or not is beside
the point; what is to the point is
that a new method OF political
campaigning was inaugurated in
bringing the government to the
people," meeting them face to face
and answering their questions by
facts as the Democrats see the
facts.
There is every indication that
more of this kind of campaigning
win take the President and his
cabinet to other sections of the
country before the fall elections

South Against FEPC

Also one must recognize the
courage of Johnathan Daniels, the
Democratic committeeman from
North Carolina, who, amidst a sea
of opposition at the panel, had the
fortitude to stand up and declare
his state and other southern states
could not accept a compulsory
FEPC program.
Actually, the sentiment in
the northern cities such as Chi
cagO, Philadelphia and Detroit,
where the administration ex-
poets votes 10 pass the TEPC
legislation, is just as much op-
posed to any anti-segregatiOn
proposal as any s0utherners.
At this writing the only form of
FEPC which has a chance of get
ting through the senate is probably.
resolution stating that it is the
policy of the federal government
to ban any discrimination or segre-
cation because of race or creed,
with no teeth in the legislation
whatsoever. Southern Democrats
might accept such q resolution.

Housing Popular Issue

President Truman received his
greatest applause in Chicago on
two planks of his Fair Deal pro-
gram, namely, repeal of the Taft
Hartley act, and rent control and a
housing program for low and mid
die income groups. OF course
there will be no TIL repeal at this
session and neither will there likely
be housing measure. Even the
rent control feature hangs in the
balance. AS result the President
said he hopes the "obstructionists"
are removed by the time another
congress rolls around.

FEPC Will Fail

This reporter came away from
the Chicago meeting, after talking
to people in all walks of life, con-
vinced that the Presidents fair
employment practices commission
measure will never hurdle the OBJ
stacles in the congress. His entire
civil rights program was made the
special subject of a panel discus
sion with leaders from all sections
of the country participating. and
all speaking in favor of the pro-
gram.
The handwriting on the wall
marking the defeat of the
FEPC and an attempt by
Democratic leaders to appease
the southern opposition was
seen when Sen. Hubert Hum
phrey of Minnesota, prime pro-
pOnent of civil rights and
author of the now famous
take a walk" plank in the
Democratic platform in Phila-
delphia, paid high tribute to
his southern colleagues.
Said Senator Humphrey. in ef-
feet: We must recognize the sim
cerity and the consistency of our
southern friends who refused to
accept this plank in the Demo-
cratic platform. At least there is
no hypocrisy evident on their part.
The senator, however. could not
say the same thing for the Repub-
lcans in the senate. who also have
a civil rights plank in their own
platform.

Just Another Bureau

THERE is NOW being considered
= by senate committee a bill
introduced by Senator Kilgore,
Democrat, Virginia, that, if enacted
into law, would give us our first
actual entrance into English social
ism. 1t would nationalize the Amer
ican coal industry. create another
tremendously large government bu-
reau, and, in all probability. be but
first step in general socializa
ton program.
Because of the policies and
practices Of John Lewis and
his United Mine Workers in
creating coal shortages with an
ever increasing price Of fuel.
II would undoubtedly tempOrar-
lily be popular with large seq.
mert of the American people.
There Is no direct, but much
Indirect, evidence that Presi-
dent Truman is back of the Kill
gore bill. 1t Is not at all prob.
able that it will pass at this
session of congress, but II might
at a future session, unless there
Is a radical change in congress
siOnal sentiment following the
November elections and the
welfare state element in both
the senate and house Is sup
planted by a more cOnserva-
tive membership.
Such legislation would prove but
another of many million items of
the ever-continuing and growing
annual costs of excessive govern
ment. for which annual appropria-
tions would be called in the execu-
tive budget.
The owners of the coal mines
would probably not oppose such
move. as it would get them out of
precarious situation.
II would cost American taxpayers
far more to support the government
bureaucracy that naturalization of
coal would create than they could
possibly save in fuel purchases.
That bureaucracy would but add to
the large number of job-paid-for-
votes that is making ours one
party government.
We could reasonably expect
coal to be followed by transpOr-
tatiOn, communications, and
other utilities and industries.
1t would promote and subsiG:zzc
our advance into socialism as
happened in England. Let us
hope for more conservatives in
the S2nd and future congresses.
A congress that would give us the
naturalization of coal, would give
us the Truman-Brannan farm plan
and the nationaiization OF the ra..-
roads, telegraph and telephone and
other utility industries. America
does not want that brand of social
ism.
