Conmunistic. He tells us that Truman's civil

that legislation to protect Negroes lie
from southern mob is Communistic He
tells us that to allow Negroes and whites to
go to school together and ride together and
to eat together in the south is Communis-
tic. The white man tells us that all these
things are Conmunistic, and their prac-

Now, if the white man is right in his

What Does This Thing Call Education Do?

a teacher and former pupil met after
several years of separation. After the ex-
change of greetings and amenities usual to
such an OCCASION the teacher asked about
the pupils interest in further education. The
former pupil, young woman in her twen-
ties, professed an interest but had to confess
little activity The teachers parting words
We're well there's hope as long as you're
not thirty-five.'
We believe that there is good bit of over
emphasis on school training. Quite a few
people think that school education is in
dispensable to success and quote extensive
statistics of school trained people who have
succeeded in life. These statistics are of
little value because it is not clear that sue
cess in school is the CAUSE of success in
life. In fact there is justifiable suspicion
that success in school and success in life are
not related as cause and effect, but are both
effects of the same cause. 1t takes the same
sort Of person to succeed in life that sue
ceeds in school. In the majority of instances,
the college graduate who succeeds in life
would prabably achieve no less notable sue
cess if he never attended school, The history
of our country filled with the names of men
who succeeded, even in professions without
much of school background Our own time
and city bare similar testimony. Ninth
street has number of successful men who
have never finished college, and the history
of Ninth street business disclose some out
standing failures of college graduates.
1t is true that the school is a short and

can make his preparation either inside or
outside of school. The school only becomes
a necessity where the law lays down rule

A boy in college when asked what he in
tended to do in life replied that he wanted
to become a postman. When he was told
that his standing of advanced freshman was
far above the school requirements, he was
astonshed. A good eighth grade student can
pass the examination. What is necessary is
certain information and mentality, whether
acquired in school or out. 1t is a common

La Federal Judges
Misinferprefe U.S..
Court Decision

WASHINGTON, D. C. (NNPA)
The special three-judge Federal
District Court at Baton Rouge,
Louisiana, misinterpreted the deci-
sions of the United States Su-
preme Court in the Texas and
Oklahoma cases involving segre-
cation in state-supported profes-
sion and. graduate schools, Louis
lana State University is contending
in seeking to have vacated an
order to admit Roy Wilson to it's
Law Department.
Attorneys for LSU, in their
brief in opposition to motion to
dismiss the petition for review
of the case or affirm the judgment
of the District Court, did not
point out how the courts opinion
in the Sweat and McLaurin cases
had been misinterpreted but it
simply stated that reading of the
District Court opinion would show
the misinterpretation.
The District Court on November
80 granted an injunction restrain
ing LSU from denying Wilson or
any other colored person similarly
situated admission to its Law De-
partment.
LSU Immediately noted an ap-
peal but it's motion for a stay
of execution of the Judgment was
denied, and Wilson was enrolled
in the Law Department.
One of the errors in the District
Court judgment, LSU contends, is
in the finding that the State of
Louisiana does not afford colored
persons educational advantages
equal or substantially equal to
those that they would receive il

Lives and Property
profetfed Equally
lin Air-Afomit Attack

WASHINGTON, D. c. (NNPA)
In an air-atomic attack, the lives
and property of all Americans will
be protected equally, Millard F.
Caldwell, Federal Civil Defense Ad-
ministrator, declared last Friday.
Mr.. Caldwell, former Governor
Of Florida, is presently serving as
the head of the agency set up by
| executive order. Legislation to es-
tablish an adequate defense pro-
gram is just about ready for the
signature of the President.
The bill establishes a Federal
Civil Defense Administration, to
be headed by an Administrator ap-
pointed from civilian life by and
with the advice and consent of
the Senate.
AS soon as Mr.. Truman signs
the measure, it is expected that
he will nominate Mr.. Caldwell for
the post.
The National Association for the
| Advancement of Colored People
has announced that it will oppose
confirmation of the Floridian be-
cause of his sponsorship of the
compact of fourteen Southern
states to set up a regional educa-
ton program.
In letters to number of Sen
ators, Clarence Mitchell, head of
the Washington Bureau of the
NAACP, said the association be-
lieved that, in time of crisis,
Governor Caldwell, if he follows
his past record, will put his belief
in racial segregation above the
safety and welfare of American
minority groups.
In an exclusive interview last
Friday, Governor Caldwell express
sed a diametrically opposite view
emphasizing that he would favor
no one group over another but
would treat all as Americans.
While he has never made capital
of the fact, Governor Caldwell
said, he thinks the people of Flor
ida and the states around Florida
know that colored people have
never had a better friend than
he has been to them.
After he became Governor of
Florida, he inaugurated an educa-
tional program which completely
revolutionized the status of col
ored people in education in that
state, he stated.
"They (colored people) were
given the recognition which, by
their own merits, they deserved"
Mr.. Caldwell said. Their salaries
were greatly increased and the
teaching conditions were improved
I, as rapid as we could improve
them.
"We did more for Florida A.
and M. College in four years than
had been done during the entire
history of the school. We put on
the campus perhaps the finest
hospital in the State of Florida
and generally brought about an
understanding of the whole prob
lem and an acceptance by the
people of Florida the principles
