Memorable Acceptance
On the rostrum. he gave an
acceptance speech which was
memorable in many ways, not
just for its eloquence. It proved
that he has a long way to go as
a chest-thumper. Many a pre-
cinct leader was sure he was
suffering from some sort of con-
vention battle fatigue when he
thought he heard Gov. Steven

election than mislead the peo-

said.

vide a new and refreshing note
in political annals.
Gen. Eisenhower, even though
he stayed out of sight of the
voters for long enough to
hearten his old-fashioned op-
ponents, did show a lively zest
for the proceedings. once he
brought himself to say yes.
Overnight, almost, he was trans
formed into an eager beaver.
Gov. Stevenson, until just re-
Gently, showed about as much
fight as Ferdinand the Bull.
Since March Gen. Eisenhower
has exhibited an unexpected
penchant for the harmless ex-
pletive and boyish enthusiasm.
Told of the New Hampshire re-
turns. he said: "Any American
who is honored by so many
other Americans considering
him for the presidency should
be proud. or, by golly. he Is no
American"
Gov. Stevenson. the very
antithesiS of the "gee-whiz"
man, has run to the devoutly ex-
pressed dread. the Mortified
hyperbole. At every promise of
success, he groaned in anguish.
Everybody from his unacknowl-
edged campaign workers to the
President felt the back of his
unwilling hand.
The week of the convention
he told reporters glumly he

Chief Executive would support

tional candidate wild with joy

joinders. II am flattered but un-
happy" he said.
In direct contrast, Gen.
Eisenhower showed a disposition
to go along with any one who
seemed anxious to go along with
him. On June 6, hearing that
Senator Taft was willing to split
the disputed Texas delegation,
he replied, Gee, that sounds
good" Later he amended his
whole point Of view of contested
delegates, but the original re-
mark, in all its bubbling flavor,
still stands on the record.
By the time he got to the
convention platform, Gen.
Eisenhower was obviously rar-
ing to go. He urged his party to
"join up" for a great cru
sade" that would sweep the
Democrats out of Office.
Apparently not braced by this
martial opposition, Gov. Ste
venson was still dragging his

He's already tried that once.

Last year the department lost

WASHINGTON u.
OPENS ALL
DIVISIONS TO
NEGROES

ST. LOUIS, Mo. - (ANP) -
All qualified Negro students now
will be admitted to all depart
mentS of Washington university.
This announcement last week
was told to principals of local
Negro high schools here. The uni
versity previously admitted COL
ored students only to the gradu-
ate schools.
The decision to open all de-
partments to Negroes was approv-
ed by the board of directors. The
various principals of schools af-
fected by the decision were call
ed to a meeting and informed of
the change in policy.
For the past year much discus
sion has centered on the admission
of Negroes to all branches of the
university. The first colored stu
dents to be admitted to the school
were enrolled in the School of
Medicine in June, 1947.
After admission to the School
of Medicine, colored students
were accepted in the graduate
division of the School of Social
Work in December, 1947. The
next year Negroes were admitted
to the graduate school of Arts
and Sciences, and in 1949 to
other graduate schools.
One of the leading organiza-
tions to support the admission of
colored students to all branches
of the university was Student
Life, campus newspaper, which
carried a series of editorials on
the issue in March, 1851.
In commenting on the univer-
Sity's decision to open all depart
mentS to Negro students, Arthur
H. Compton, chancellor of the
university, said in part:
This extension of the admiS-
sion of Negroes to undergraduate
courses of Washington university
follows five years of successful
experience with enrolment of
NEGROES in its graduate division.
''The action in opening the uni
Versity's facilities in all of its di-
visions to Negroes is in accord
with its desire that the education
that it supplies shall be most eff
fec,ive in building society suit
ed to the needs of free men and
women.
Both students and faculty have
assured the administration that
undergraduate Negro students
will be given the same cordial
welcome that has been extended
to Negroes as graduate students.

ing on complaint filed by Miss

The order prohibits the rail-
road from using a car-card sys-
tenn of assigning passengers to
cars in Illinois in a manner
which segregates passengers on
the basis of race or color of such
passengers"
Miss Johnson first filed her
complaint in March II, 1851, 1t
was amended on June 6, 1851.
In her complaint, she said that
she bought a ticket on coach

She complained that she was
physically denied entrance to
other coaches. On the basis of
this action, she filed her COM
plant charging racial discrimi-
nation.
On July 5, 1851, the ICC gave
the NAACP the right to intervene
in behalf of Mis- johnson. Her
trial was held from June 20, 1851
