This action of the Supreme
Court prevents attorneys for the
State of Louisiana from filing
written briefs and presenting oral
argument in the case. The State
had appealed from the decision on
the ground that the Supreme
Courts decisions in the cases of
G. w. McLaurin, involving racial
segregation at the University of
Oklahoma, and Heman Marion
Sweat, involving the admission of
colored students to the law school
at the University of Texas, had
been misinterpreted by the Dis
trict Court.
In brief memorandum the Su-
preme Court announced that the
motion to affirm was granted
"and the judgment is affirmed"
on the basis of it's decisions in
the Sweat and McLaurin cases,
which means that Wilson and all
other qualified colored applicants
must be admitted to the law
school at LSU on basis of equal
ity with other students.
Wilson sued in the District
Court at Baton Rouge last Sept.
13 to enjoin the Board of Super
visors and administrative officers
of LSU from enforcing an order
barring colored applicants from
enrolment in the law school at
LSU.
The special three-judge Federal
court on October 80 granted pre-
liminary injunction, holding that
Wilson and all other qualified
colored persons "are entitled to
educational advantages and op-
portunities available with the
state, at the same time, upon the
same terms and substantially equal
to those which the state provides
and makes available to other per-
sons"
There was no dispute as to the
facts. Wilson was admittedly quail
iffed. He applied for admission
during the period other students
were applying for the 195O-51

Compromife Civil Rights Bill Introduced
Eleven Southern Senators Offers
Resolution OutIowing Poll Tax Law

WASHINGTON, DC. (NNPA)-
The first of the Southern COM
promises on civil rights legislation
! was introduced in the Senate last
Thursday when Senator Spessard
L. Holland, Democrat, of Florida,
on behalf of himself and eleven
other Southern Senators offered
joint resolution proposing an
amendment to the Constitution
outlawing payment of poll tax
as a prerequisite for voting in
Federal elections.
Sponsoring the resolution with
Senator Holland are Senators
George A. Smathers of Florida,
Walter F. George of Georgia, Clyde
R. Hoey of North Carolina, Willis
Smith of North Carolina, Harry
F. Byrd, of Virginia, A. Willis
Robertson of Virginia, Herbert r.
O'Connor of Maryland, Allen J.
Ellender and Russell B. Long of
Louisiana, and John l.. Mcclellan
and j. William Fulbright of Ar
kansas.
In offering the resolution Sen
ator Holland told the Senate that
it's sponsors desired speedy SUBJ
mission of the proposed amend
ment by the congress to the states
for ratification. They believe that
three-fourths of the state will
speedily ratify it, If it is SUBJ
mitted, he said.
Only six states now require pay
ment of a poll tax as a prerequi-
site for voting. They are Alabama,
Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee,
Texas and Virginia. South Caro-
lima repealed its poll-tax law by
adoption at the November general
election of a constitutional amend
ment proposed by the 1850 state
legislature. The South Carolina
Legislature, now in session, must
approve the action of the voters.
Senator Holland declared that
the poll tax requirement has been
accorded far greater Importance
than it deserves. He asserted that
it imposed only a small "econ-
omic" obstacle" to voting.
Because the poll tax has been
so widely discussed and is gen.
orally regarded as an undemo-
cratic handicap on colored citi-
zens, Senator Holland said, the

WASHINGTON R-The United

today opened the way for Italy
to rearm on a large scale. In de-

opposition, they waived World War

State Department stated that SO
far as the United States is con-
