Court first ruled Negroes could not
be kept out of white public uni
versities unless the state could

Today, continues the magazine,

practice segregation have bowed to

says.
University of Oklahoma is credit

the most striking advances. 1t was

Supreme Court three years ago and
since then more than 100 Negro
students have been admitted. They

PULASKI, Va. (NNPA) = Two

death of DIR. Santa Cruz and Owen

year old colored girl.
Owen, released on $1,000 bond,

Simmons had been charged with
murder.
DIR. Santa Cruz was dead on ar

has been reliably reported that the
NAACP in the face of the recent
Supreme Court decision is aban-
doning support of salary equali-
cation suits and is now giving it's
support only to suits for the
equalization of school facilities.
The attitude towards the Bates
case however must not be taken
as evidence that Negroes have lost
interest in the effort to obtain
equal educational opportunities
for their children in Mississippi.
At the same time that the decision
of the New Orleans court brought
the Bates case to an end work was
started towards the filing of a
suit for the equalization Of Negro
and white school facilities.
Proponents of the new suit
pointed out that a suit for the
equalization of facilities would
arouse greater support from Ne
groes throughout the state. That
the plaintiff in such case would
be parents and not teachers whose
jobs are always put in jeopardy
by their action.
Of greatest Importance, how
ever, regarding suit for equal
ization of facilities is the fact that
such a suit considers the inequali-
ties in buildings, equipment, cur
riculum, transportation and teach
ers salaries.
The most important thing about
the equal facilities suit is the
fact that such suit will not be
faced with an unfavorable decision
of the United States Supreme
Court such as exists in regards
to the Bates case.

1t seems to me that must be-and it is
the only worthy of democratic socetyto exert
every possible effort to eliminate un-democratc prac

N. Y. Legislature
Gets Bill ToEnd
Segregation

ALBANY, N. Y. (ANP) A
bill giving the State Commission
Against Discrimination Board
powers to bar religious or racial
discrimination in theatres, resorts,
hotels, certain schools and other
places of public accommodation
was presented to the New York
legislature last week.
introduced by Sen. Frank j. Ma
honey of Manhattan and Assem-
blyman Bernard Austin of Kings.
the measure was drafted on con-
sultation with the American jew
ish Congress, the NAACP and
the Citizens Union. Should it
pass, it will give the Commission
Against Discrimination the same
powers in places of public accom-
mediation it now has in employ
ment.
A similar but not an identical
bill was brought before the legis-
lature last year but died in the
Senate Finance and Assembly Ju-
dietary committees. However, the
hew measure is said to have more
than fair chance of passing be-
cause an additional amount of sup
port was obtained this year be-
fore it was introduced.
Such law as the one proposed
is not new to the state of New
York for all the discriminatory
practices it would permit the com
mission to eliminate are barred
by existing state laws going back
to 1874 and embodied in Section
40 of the Civil Rights law
The most outstanding factor of
the proposed measure is the way
ut would go about enforcing the
law. Under the old law any vic
tim of discrimination in the pub
lie accommodation field may bring
suit for civil damages. The ex-
penses of court action have halted
many suits.

three, should forget personal am
bition and move out in favor of
the one candidate behind which the
whole Negro community might raj
ly. And in giving way, these candi-
dates should lend their influence
to the lone candidate.
1t will be recalled that Attorney
Oliver Hill Of Richmond was elect
ed to the council of his city about
two years ago. But in the last
Richmond city election he lost his
try and it may be attributed to the
fact that another ambitious Negro
entered the race. So Hill is not
there now.
To cite another instance, Negro
should have been elected to the
city council in Augusta, Georgia,
in the November elections, but at
the last moment another Negro,
brother of the race with some COM
munity status, was entered in the
election, it is believed, primarily to
split the vote.
Regardless, Oklahoma City and
Kansas City are headed in the
right direction. There are score
of other southern communities who
might follow suit for the good of
the whole. To name few, there
are Atlanta, Birmingham, New Or
leans, Little Rock, Houston, and
you can add to the list.
| can talk about Atlanta. There,
the Negro vote was responsible for
the election of a mayor. At least,
it is said, the mayor won by the
slight margin of 101 votes in an
election in which $4,000 Negroes
are believed to have voted - 5000
of whom gave their votes to the
elected-mayor.
Columbia, S. C. had a Negro
out for the city council in the last
city election. He didn't make it, but
you may bet that more than the
usual number of Negroes went to
the polls last November 2 because
this race candidates was on the
ballot in that South Carolina town,

TALE OF TWO CITIES
OTHERS TAKE NOTE

Detroit, Mich. - Two pieces of
news breaking recently are of par
ticular interest to me. They involve
Oklahoma City and Kansas City,
Missouri-therein lies tale of
two cities. | think other cities
should take note.
In Kansas City, Dowdal H.
Davis, the popular and dynamic
head of the Negro Newspaper
Publisher Association and general
manager of K. C. weekly has
been endorsed for the city coun-
Gil" If Davis wins, he will be the
first Negro to sit in the city coun-
Gil of Kansas City.
Farther west, in Oklahoma City,
reports are that not less than three
Negro candidates will try for the
city council from one election ward.
If either of these candidates is sue
cessful, he will be the first Negro
to win seat in the city council of
OKlanOma C1Cy.
Last November, | wrote column
from Oklahoma in which | express
ed the opinion that we could best

Negroes to the polls in local cleo
tions. Further, | expressed the be-
lief that the use of the ballot by
Negroes would be encouraged by
Negro candidates.

believe that more Negroes will
qualify and vote in the spring cleo
tons in both Oklahoma City and
Kansas City as result of the
Negro candidates that have offer
ed themselves for office. However,
| question the strategy Of three
Negroes trying for one post in
Oklahoma City.
The Black Dispatch, Of Oklahoma
City, wonderous editorially; ''Would
it not have been better to have
called a citizens meeting and place
the Negro community squarely be-
hind one candidate ?" There is
definite merit in the "question-put
position of The Black Dispatch.
If the Negro vote in Oklahoma
City is going to be split into in
effective parts, the Negro there
will not be able to place their
candidate in office. It is true that
three outstanding community per-
sonalities will be able to rally more
Negro votes, but what Oklahoma
City needs is a Negro city council
man.
Oklahoma City will not get a
Negro city councilman with three
guys battling for one post from
one ward. Fortunately the tale of
the other city is different. Davis
is the sole candidate - take note,
The Black Dispatch, he has the en-
dorsement of the Citizens Associa-
tion of Kansas Citv
The Oklahoma City tale is one in
which two candidates, if there are
