Plessy VS. Ferguson, decided in
1896.
The Federal Government, said
Mr.. McGrath, is convinced that the
separate but equal" phrase was
contradiction in terms, consti-
tutlonal anachronism, which a half
century of history has shown to be
an unwarranted departure from
the Constitutional principle that
all Americans, regardless of race,
or color, or religion, or national
origin stands equal in the light of
the law"
Mr.. McGrath argued that segre-
gated facilities 'are not and can
never be equal in any full sense OF
the word" and that enforced sepa-
ration of people, based on race, i'm
plies that all members Of that race
are in some way inferior to mem
bers of all other races.
ut seems to me, and it is the
position of the Government" said
Mr.. McGrath that few things
could be more invidious, few more
humiliating," than to say publicly
that members of one race cannot
associate with members Of another
race
"Just faint of Negro blood OF
ancestry is all that is necessary to

Rousf Duck Dinner
A Treof But No Trick

"Roast Duck" may be featured on
many a high-priced menu in some
of the nations swankiest restaurants,
but to the Backlot Farmer, ducks
can be lot of profitable fun as well
as q delightful dinner.
Duck growing, as commercial
project, is centered around Long
Island, where the ducks acquired
their nickname, but farm ducks are
raised all over the country in small
focks, as few as a dozen being prac-
tical, particularly for the Backlot
Farmers.
The White Pekin Duck has proven
itself on commercial duck farms and
it's type and appearance seem TO best
meet the requirements for the mar
ket. All of which makes the White
Pekin duck a good breed for the
farmer raising only a few for home
use.
The Pekins are hardy and do not
fly; they lay well and mature rapid
ly in confinement. Besides this, they
have white feathers which bring
premium on the market, the sale of
which represents another profit fac
tor from the duck project. irrespec-
tive how small it might be-
When the ducks are to 10 weeks
old, selection may be made of the
choicest birds for breeders, to keep
the flock expanding. At this age,
the ducks are ready for the market,
having reached the approximate
peak of growth.
On the Purina Research Farm, 1t
was found that ducks may be sue
cessfully raised on dry ground, but
when it is convenient, small con-
crete pool is usually provided for
swimming SO the ducks may wash
themselves and keep cleaner and
more comfortable.
Ducks grow rapidly and soon
crowd their quarters. For this reason,
it is we'll to determine how much
space is available, before the Back
lot Farmer starts his flock.
The ducks should be permitted to
get outdoors when they are two
weeks old, providing, of course, the
weather is pleasant. During warm
weather. shade should also be pro-
yided.

decide the case on tina basis and
not take up the Constitutional ques-
ton.
Mr.. Perlman told Justice Frank
furter that he was arguing that
the regulation of the railroad vio-
lates both the Interstate Commerce
Act and the Constitution.
"This regulation is belt drawn
through the country-a belt on
one side of which a colored man
cannot sit down with a white man,
Mr. Perlman said.
The Solicitor General said the
decision in the Plessy VS. Ferguson
case had never been analysed and
reexamined by the court and sug-
gested that the time has come for
that to be done.
"That opinion should be over
ruled" Mr.. Perlman declared.
every citizen of this country is
entitled to the same privileges, and
not separate, no matter what his
race"
Belford V. Lawson, attorney for
Mr.. Henderson, told the court that
the argument of the Attorney Gen
eral and the Solicitor General was
'very encouraging to those of us
who have lived so long under the
iron heel of the proconsul of jim
| Crow"
Directing attention to an exhibit
of roped off table, filed in the
case, Mr.. Lawson said the rope
was "a remnant of slavery and it
is a badge of inferiority by rea-
son Of any construction of the
Negro"
Justice Robert H. Jackson asked
Mr.. Lawson whether there was any
legislative history of the Four
teenth Amendment showing wheth-
er the Congress had the question
of racial segregation in mind al
the time.
Mr.. Lawson replied that there

Justice Frankfurter told Mr.
Lawson that his argument brought
the Henderson case within the
courts ruling in the case of former
Representative Arthur w. Mitchell

race was an invasion or a funda.

longed to no caste, who were out
casts. These were originally the
aboriginal people already living in
India when the land was first set
tied by the Aryan and other races.
The caste system made it impos-
sible to absorb these people and so
they were pushed away from So
ciety and eventually they were
made sweepers, scavengers and
gravediggers or whatever else
might be regarded as the most
mental positions.
+ The untouchables were not per-
mitted to walk through many of the
regular streets in India and were
not allowed to enter the temples
and if Hindu even touched a
member of this group he was be-
lieved to have become polluted and
had to be given a ceremonial wash
ing before he could again enter his
own house.
Il can state to you positively"
Father D'SouZa continued, chat the
change in this attitude began be-
cause of the Christian challenge,
because of the teaching of equality
of all men in the Gospel of Christ
The Church extended hope to
the untouchables for the first time
and large numbers of them entered
the Christian Church"
AS a result, he said, reform
movements began among the Hin
dus. And then, with the political
reawakening of India, the people
began to look at themselves with
the eyes of Europeans and Ameri-
cans as a subject country and tic
wish to break away from England
But to do this, it was necessary to
present a position Of solidarity and
to make it possible for these &C
million formerly degraded persons
to tell the English that they had
trust in their own people and ir
their ability to rule. Thus, the up.
per classes began breaking down
the barriers and approaching the
untouchables for the first time.
Mahatma Gandhi, the speaker
said, did more than any other single
person to abolish the class of un.
touchables. Despite his frailness
he conducted a raging campaign
across the length and breadth OF
India, telling the people that THEN
treatment of the untouchables
whom he called the children of God
was a crime and that the people
deserved to be without their free
dom for another 1000 years because
of it.

Democrat of Alabama, member
of the House Judiciary Committee,
who was given 80 minutes in which
to present oral argument, argued
that none of the lawyers in the
case nor Mr.. Henderson had any
right to be before the Court. He
charged that "both the Big Berthas
of the Department of Justice" were
fighting a coordinate branch of the
Government in that the Constitu-
ton gave Congress the sole right
to regulate interstate travel.

eff the order of the Interstate
Commerce Commission is upheld in
this case" he said, 81 believe
serious blow would be struck at
our free institution, which our
democracy so proudly proclaims,
and the last hope may well have
vanished that under our constitu-
tional system humans may be
treated with equality based upon
human dignity"
Mr.. McGrath said which ever
way the decision goes, the rule the
court declares will stand as ''rule
authorized and enforced by the
Federal Government"
Mr.. Perlman told the court that
no proper inference can be drawn
from a study made by the rail
roads showing that only a small
percentage of the travellers avail
ing themselves Of dining car SER
vice was colored.
Such a tabulation, he argued,
was no indication of how many
colored persons would want dining
car service if they could be serv-
ed ''in the same atmosphere and
under the same conditions" as
white persons.
He called an exhibit showing the
partition used to segregate color
ed persons from white persons in
the dining car "a starting illustra-
ton of practices which are carried
on in violation of the Constitu-
ton"
The Solicitor General emphasiz-
ed that the Interstate Commerce
Act makes it unlawful fer any rail
roaVto subject any person "to any
undue or unreasonable prejudice
or disadvantage in any respect
whatsoever.
