required the railroads to pro-

used by both races a partition
was required to divide them.
No person could occupy seats
in coaches other than those

Plessy-of seven-eighths Cau-

1892, got a ticket on the East
Louisiana Railway from New
Orleans to Covington, La. He
took a seat in coach assigned
to whites. The conductor re-
quired him to vacate. He re-
fused. With the aid of police
man Plessy was elected and
imprisoned in a New Orleans

IN the ensuing Legal battle
Plessy contended he was en-

Judge John H. Ferguson of the
Criminal District Court for the
Parish Of Orleans. The Louisiana
Supreme Court held the law
constitutional. The case came
before the Supreme Court on
petition for writs of prohibition
and certiorari.
The Supreme Courts major
ity opinion was written by As
sociate Justice Henry Billings
Brown. It was a I'll decision,
because Associate Justice David
Josiah Brewer did not par
ticipate. The majority ruled
that the Louisiana law does not

itage and holds fast to the
principles of constitutional
liberty. But in the view of the
Constitution, in the eye of the
law, there is in this country
no superior, dominant, ruling
class of citizens. There is no
caste here. Our Constitution is
color blind. and neither knows

rights, all citizens are equal
before the law. The humblest is
the peer of the most powerful.
The law regards man as man,
and takes no account of his
surroundings or of his color
when his civil rights as guar
anteed by the supreme law of
the land are involved.
1T is therefore to be re-
gretted that this high tribunal,

the competency of the State
Legislatures in the exercise Of
their police power.
THE most common instance
Of this is connected with
the establishment of separate
schools for white and colored
children, which has been held
to be a valid exercise of the
legislative power even by courts
of States where the political
rights of the colored race have
been longest and most earnestly
enforced"
Laws Power Limited
The court pointedly disagreed
with the argument that social
prejudices may be overcome by
legislation and that equal rights
cannot be secured to the Negro
except by an enforced coming
ling Of the two races. IF the
two races are to meet upon terms
of social equality. it must be the
result Of natural affinities, a
mutual appreciation of each
others merits and a voluntary
consent of individuals" the
Supreme Court said.
Legislation is powerless to
eradicate racial instincts or to
abolish distinctions based upon
physical differences. and the at
tempt to do so can only result
in accentuating the difficulties
of the present situation.
IF the civil and political
rights of both races be equal.
one cannot be inferior to the
other civilly or politically. If
one race be inferior to the other
socially, the Constitution of the
United States cannot put them
upon the same plane"

Near East Studying New Highway Plan
By John c. Henry

The possibility that the old
camel caravan routes which still
criss-croSs the Arabian PENN
sula may some day be turned
into the backbone of a modern
highway network Is under dis
cussion in the Near East.
Sponsor of the plan, which
could have both commercial and
military Importance. is William
F. Moore, former president Of
the Arabian-American Oil Co.,
who is now an industrial con-
sultant in Beirut. The main
line of such a highway grid
would connect a coastal area on
the Persian Gulf with the Medi-
terranean Sea.
Mediterranean terminals, as a
beginning, would be at the Leb-
aneSe ports of Beirut and Tri-
poll, and the Syrian port Of
Latakia. The Turkish port of
Izmir. where a new SHAPE
headquarters for the area is now
being established, would not be
far away. The Syrian cities Of
HONS and Damascus would be
on the line, as would other in
terror points in Iraq. Connect
ing links could be run to Bagh-
dad and to Amman, capital city

terminals would be at BaSra,

Weeks News in Review

NATO treaty and the peace con-
tract with the Western allies.
The trouble at first was polit-
ical. Chancellor Konrad Ade-
nauer thought his coalition gov
ernment could muster a simple
majority of votes for ratifica-
tion in the lower house of
Parliament. His opposition,
however. said the treaties were
constitutional amendments and
must be approved by a two
thirds majority of both houses.
How the Court Works
The dispute went to the Con-
stitutional Court, the highest
German judicial body. The
court has "a judges. divided into
two "SenateS." each supposed
to handle different kinds of
cases. The first, so-called red"
Senate, is presumed to be anti
Adenauer. The second, or
"black" Senate. is presumed to
be pro-Adenauer.
Three requests to rule on the
treaties went to the court. The
first. by President Heuss. went
to the full court. The second,
by the opposition party, was
worded so that it went to the
red Senate. The third, sub
mitted last week by Adenauer.
was worded so that it would
go to the black Senate.
The Constitutional Court was
heading for a certain split.
Then the president of the
court announced that any opin-
ion Of the full court would over
rule any decision of either SEN
ate-made either before or after.
That jerked the rug from under
Adenauer's attempt to get a
favorable black-Senate decision,
as the full court is presumed to
be narrowly anti-Adenauer on
this issue.
So Adenauer induced Heuss to
withdraw his request for q rul-
ing and pressed for a quick de-
cision by the black Senate.
Opposition CIomor
Adenauer's opposition imme-
diately attacked him for tam
pering" with the high court and
demanded a vote of no-confi-
dence in parliament and imme-
diate national elections. Ade-
nauer's lieutenants limited the
court should be reformed.
It was difficult to see how the
German court could come to
any conclusion that would be
accepted now by the politicians.
The political and judicial dis
pute was undermining the pres
tige of both the court and the
Adenauer government. At best
the outcome will be a delay OF
ratification of the treaties and
an uncertainty over the legality
of the ratification.

If the Supreme Court bans
racial segregation in the public
schools. it will. in effect, over
turn a landmark case that has
stood for more than half a CEN
tury. the famed 1896 case of
Plessy VS.. Ferguson. It involved
a Louisiana train passenger Of
mixed blood who took a seat in
coach reserved for whites.
The court ruled that the State
of Louisiana had a right to keep
him out of that seat if it gave
him the same kind of seat in
a section reserved for Negroes.
That case set up the doctrine
OF separate but equal" facili-
ties for Negroes. And the doc
trine has been transported from
railroads into the school Sys-
TENS of a number of States of
the Union.
The epochal case Of Plessy
VS.. Ferguson has been literally
cited by both sides in briefs and
oral arguments before the
Supreme Court in the current
racial segregation school cases.
Some argue it is a bulwark
against striking down segrega-
ton il the schools. Others say
its doctrine is now outworn by
the march of events. For
Negroes have gained much in
the half century since this case
was decided. Racially restric-
tive land covenants aimed at
