high building instead of elemen-
tary school buildings.
EdgertOn DiSagreeS.
Judge E. Barrett Prettyman.
with Judge Bennett Champ Clark
concurring, wrote the opinion that
there was no evidence of discrimi-
nation against Negroes in assign
ing school buildings. The opinion
said the city offers equal educa-
tional opportunity for the two
races. It also declared that Con-
gress had right under the Con-
stitution to legislate a separate
school system for Negroes and
had done so for the District.
Judge Henry w. Edgerton dis
sented, contending that segrega-
ton in public schools is unconsti-
tutional. He declared that Negro
students here are denied better
schooling and given worse because
of their color" He contended that
collective equality cannot be OBJ
tanned without abolishing segrega-
ton"
No appeal was taken to the Su-
preme Court in that case. A new
test case, aimed directly at having
segregation held unconstitutional,
developed early last year in be-
half Of four Negro children who
had been denied admission to the
white Sousa Junior High School
in September. 1850.
District Court Judge Walter M.
Bastian dismissed the suit mainly
on the ground that it contained
no substantial Federal question.
An appeal is still pending in the
Court of Appeals.
Jurisdiction Tested.
Meanwhile, attorneys for the
Negro children and their parents
requested District Court to per-
NIT establishment of a three.
Judge court to consider constitu-
tionality of the segregation sys-
tenn. Judge Matthew F. MCGUIRE
denied the request. An appeal
was taken to the Supreme Court.
The high court, in an unsigned
opinion last December, noted that
petitions before Judge Mcclure
both raised a question as to
whether a three Judge court was
required in a suit to bar enforce
ment Of congressional enactments
affecting only the District.
The Supreme Court said it
would "await the views" of the
Court of Appeals on that question
before deciding whether the Su-
|preme Court has jurisdiction to
rule in a case of this kind, or
whether the fundamental issue
must first be ruled on by the Court
of Appeals.
The other case pending in Dis
trict Court was filed last February.
It sought admission of a Negro
girl, Vvonne Moses, to the Bu-
chanan School.
The suit contended that the
Webb School which the girl at
tended did not provide education
al facilities equal to those of
schools for whites. It also claimed
that segregation violates the Con-.
stitution. public policy and United
States treaty obligations under
| the United Nations.

Fairfax County's schools Still
haven't enough classrooms to g,
around.
A sos million building pro.
gram has helped some this year
but makeshift facilities still are
in use. Halliday shifts for many
children also testify to the con.
tinuing space shortage.
About 1,50O pupils are starting
the term on halliday schedules
officials hope new construction
will relieve this situation later.
Cafeterias, auditoriums. librar-
les. Quonset huts, churches, fire
halls and apartment buildings are
typical housing for temporary
classrooms. Rooms in some regu-
lar schools have had to be par
titioned.
Two brand new schools-West-
lawn and Bailey's-have just
opened. Seven new additions also
are helping out this term.
76 New Classrooms.
The additions include fou,
classrooms at Chesterbrook, seven
rooms at Oakton, seven rooms at
Holm Hall, IL rooms at Mount
Eagle, six rooms at Freedom Hill,
Is rooms at Graham road and
four rooms at Lorton. The new
buildings plus the additions make
a total of rs new classrooms this
year.
More relief is in sight. A 90
room school at Belleview and
seven-room schools at Woodley
Hills and Gum Springs are to be
finished sometime this fall.
Seven more brand-new schools
will be ready for occupancy later
in the school year. These are: /:
Springfield. eight rooms; West
more, eight rooms: Woodburn,
six rooms; Forestville, 10 rooms:
Herndon Colored. five rooms; Hap
py Valley. 10 rooms, and Herndon
High. 16 rooms.
Additions Under Way.
Additions that school officials
expect to be ready later this year
include: Mount Vernon High
School. nine classrooms, library,
cafeteria and auditorium: Dunn
Loring. three rooms; Fairfax Ele-
mentary, eight rooms; Weyanoke,
six rooms; Willston, eight rooms,
and Louise Archer. three rooms.
This sounds like a lot of new
space. But school officials say
it isn't enough. Completion of
all the current building projects,
plus several more about to start,
will provide only the number of
classrooms the county should have
had at the opening Of this school
year.
There isn't time to float a bond
issue and have the additional
buildings ready. Many of this
years conditions probably will
continue to exist.
In the meantime, Fairfax is
doing its best to compensate for
the crowded classrooms. Two
teachers are provided for the
double-Shift classes.

The House of Lords is a Mems
Business and Social Organization
1t was founded at Tougaloo Coli

The organization grew out of the
desire of a small group of Toug-

greater economic security for
men.
In 1948 the organization folded
up on Tougaloo's campus and left
as symbol of its existence a

sheriff's office.
For one reason or another the
multi-colored neon lights have been
out for months on the main sec
tons of the Gold Coast.
The newly elected Sheriff Holt
field is not new to the Sheriff Of
flee of Rankin County. Having
served as sheriff during the term
prior to the one which er.ded Mon
day night he is already plenty hep
to everything in Rankin County.
During his first term he forced
the Fannin Road operators to take
to-the bushes with their refresh
ments," while their games of
chance were operated with drawn
shades, and in silence behind clos
ed doors.
How long will the lights on the
Fannin Road remain out? Some
say it will be four years, but some
Fannin Road operators still cling
to some ray of hope.
The fame and reputation of the
Fannin Road, which is known from
coast to coast, as the saying goes,
is more justified than any COM
parable area frequented by Negroes
anywhere in the United States.
The Fannin Road is comprised
of an area of less than an eighth
of a mile on straight line.
1t was here that Joe Catchings,
perhaps it's famous operator, who
went broke after amazing for
tune during the war years, built
the fabulous playhouse, at a
cost. of an estimated $4,000 which
at the time of it's completion was
the most richly and beautifully
furnished Negro owned night clubs
In the entire nation. Joe Catching
its original owner is reported OPP
Grating a night club in Waukegan,
Illinois.
Along the road is located such
other famous spots as the Heat
Wave, Rocket Lounge, The Dip
Inn, Last Chance, Gladstone, and
the one time famous Stamp Broth
ers Hotel.
The Fannin Road not only grew
famous because of thes wide open
night spots, slot machines, and
high stake cards and dice games,
but because life itself was the
cheapest thing along the Fannin
Road.
During one year of the war time
spending it was estimated that the
killings from shooting and cutting
on the Fannin Road averaged a.
bout one per week.
Bill stamps, one OF the widely
known Stamps Brothers who pio-
neered in opening up the river was
one of it's victims.
In recent years most of the best
spots along the road, at one time
owned and operated by Negroes,
had come to be owned by white
people, but were still being run
by Negroe operators.

min Road Monday night and there
are indications that their going
out may turn out to be the end Of
a famous era and area in Missis-
sippi Negro night life and history.
