Vote Against Segregation
Not Binding on Locals
Ry the Assoc,o,ed Press

RICHMOND, Va. May 24.-An
anti-segregation resolution passed
by the Virginia State Federation
of Labor is not binding on local
unions, VSFL President Jack S.
Smith said last night.
Mr.. Smith said the resolution
doesn't necessarily place a man
date on those locals that have
segregated charters. It requests
cooperation with the policy of
the VSLF."
He explained that the VSLF has
both segregated and non-segre-
gated locals, even though it is
unSegregated on q Statewide
basis.
Among the locals which have
both Negro and white members
are plasterers, cement workers
electricians, tobacco workers
longShoremen and laborers.

To Help Calm Iran Crisis

LONDON, May rs (R.-British

Korean President Syngman Rhee

Gen. Van Fleet baked at the
request. He said that an csti-

still operating behind United Ma

sufficiently screened to determine
whether they could be trusted.
Mr.. Rhee then took his cast
to Gen. Ridgway, who backec

A spokesman for the Korean

: Virginia Will Defend
School Segregation
Cases, Almond Says
By the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, May 25.-All
resources of the Virginia attorney
generals Office will be mustered
in defense of the State constitu-
tons provisions requiring segrega-
in public schools, Attorney Gen
eral j. Lindsay Almond, jr., said
yesterday.
The State, he emphasized. will
intervene to resist a suit filed in
Federal court here seeking to
force acceptance of Negro chill
dren in the white high schools
of Prince Edward County.
The State also will intervene in
"any other attack" on the con-
stitution's requirement Mr.. AL
mond said.
State Policy Under Attack.
It will be the first time the COM
monwealth has taken a direct
hand in any of the recent court
battles over public elementary or
high school facilities for Negroes.
Earlier cases in this field of htiga-
ton all have hinged on the issue
of discrimination, or lack of equal
facilities, without challenging the
State constitution on segregation.
The State therefore has taken the
attitude that it was up to the in
dividual city or county to handle
its own local case.
This time, State policy on segre-
cation itself is directly attacked.
Counsel for colored school patrons
have asked for a judgment to re-
strain the Prince Edward School
Board from enforcing sections of
the Virginia constitution and the
Virginia code which require Sepa-
rate schools. In so doing, they
seek to have the constitutional
provision discarded.
Precedent for State.
Attorney Spottswood w. Robin
son. III, who filed the suit with a
plea for three-judge Federal
court to decide the constitutional
issue, said 1--WE hope that a favor
able decision from the court will
be effective throughout Virginia.
That's why the State. which is
not a party to the original suit
will go into the case.
In effect, the suit charges thai
Prince Edward County has dis
criminated against Negroes by
providing school facilities inferior
to those for whites. And it asserts
the only effective way to end this
discrimination is to admit Negro
and white pupils to the same
schools.

valid because they were without
the scope of the powers delegated
lit by Congress.
He said that in 1889 the Su-
Ipreme Court held an act Of the
Legislative Assembly invalid and
expressed this opinion:
But as the repository Of the
Legislative power Of the United
States, Congress in creating the
District of Columbia a body cor
lporate for municipal purposes
could only authorize it to exercise
municipal powers and this is all
that Congress attempted to do
Judge Hood said in his dissent:
while the distinction between
general legislation and police OF
municipal regulation is not al
ways clear, it seems rather obvious
to me that the legislation here ir
question was civil rights legisla-
tion, rising to higher plane OF
dignity than mere regulation o1
restaurants and other places o1
public entertainment.
Rights Rather Than Regulation
"The many cases, both Fedora
and State, dealing with civil rights
legislation, make 1t plain that
such legislation concerns itseli
with rights rather than regula-
ton, although such rights may be
guaranteed or enforced through
regulation"
Judge Hood said he could fine
no case cited upholding the en-.
actment of civil rights legislation
by municipal ordinance. He
concluded:
"If, as I read the cases, the
legislative assembly was limited
in its legislative power to the
enactment of police and municipal
regulations, and if, as I believe
the enactment in question cannot
be properly classified as such
then it follows that such enact.
ments were ineffective. Reaching
this conclusion, find it unneces.
Sary to discuss other points raised
in the case"
Cases Based on Two Laws.
One of the four parts Of the
complaint the District govern
ment filed against Thompson's
Restaurant in the test case was
based on the 1872 law. Three
were based on the 1873 law.

Judge Myers in quashing the
count brought under the 1872 law
since two judges agreed that legis.
llation was dead. Judge Myers wa
reversed on the other three. how

1873 law was still valid.

The District Government de-
cided to make test case Of the
issue after Mr.. West informed the
Commissioners he could find nc
evidence that the laws had been
repealed. The District filed the

rant, accordingly.

H. Myers ruled last July that the

the restaurant.
29-Page Decision.
The Municipal Court of Ap-
peals decided, 2 to /, that the 1878
law was still in effect in a COM
plicated 29-page decision which
contained opinions from each o1
the three judges. -.
Chief Judge Nathan Cayton held
that both the act of 1872 and
1873 were still valid. Judge Brice
Clagett said the 1873 act had re.
pealed the 1872 act but the 1878
statue was valid still. Both agreed
that the Legislative Assembly hao
the right to pass the acts and thai
they were valid when passed.
Judge Andrew Hood said botl
the act of 1872 and 1873 wer'
invalid when enacted, since th'
assembly did not have that muol
power delegated to it from Con
greSs.
Attorney Ringgold Hart, repre-

declared Immediately tina ap

GRASSROOTS
Lack Of Positive Platform Has Defeated the COP

of national policies. The Republican
barfy offered them no platform, leap-
ing it up TO The candidates to propose
their own platforms.
The candidates had no platforms,
or at least could not enunciate them.
So again the Republicans failed for
lack of a constructive party plat
form, statement OF principles for
which the voters we're so avidly
waiting.
To return a bit farther back to
the campaign between Roosevelt
for his first term and Herbert Hoov-
er for reelection, that campaign for
the Republicans was conducted by
the Republican old guard senator's,
such as Jim Watson, Reed Smoot,
George Moses, and others.
They had not been able to use
Hoover and preferred to deal with
Democrat, rather than Hoover
with a second term. They said so,
and admitted that their interest in
the campaign was only reelection
OF themselves. They deliberately
worked against Herbert Hoover.
They succeeded in defeating both
Hoover and themselves.
In the election for membership in

Republicans secured a majority in

tronage for Republicans were the
alluring prospects that provided pay
for the millions of Democratic job
holders.
But with the meaningless word
unity the only thing talked about,
President Truman beat the Republi-
cans to the punch, and he was given
Democratic congress that the Re-
publican 80th congress had paid for
with its refusal to limit bureaucratic
appropriations.
And SO it has been for 20 years
the so-called leaders of the Re-
publican party have been responsi-
BILE for its defeat, either deliberately
planned or brought about by lack
of definite and meaningful pro-
gram.
Their profuse condemnation of
the opposition has not been effec-
tive, nor will it be.
Has the Republican party ceased
to function as a party?
Are its candidates all on their
own, with each one supplying the
principles he thinks best; have the
party leaders ceased to lead in any
thing other than vitriolic opposition
to what others propose?
Can the party, as such, no longer
enunciate policies and principles?
Under such conditions, the party
has ceased to be of value to the
nation. 1t is time it gave way to
some political group that can and
will.
We need two functioning parties.
