Overseas Highway which might
be destroyed by natural or

tain inequality in public func-
tions," the brief states.
Pointing out that examination
of the pattern of segregation laws
reveals plainly that they are de-
signed not TO prevent all contact
between the races but to prevent
contact on the basis of equality,
the brief cites number of segre-
cation laws in which Negroes are
allowed to use facilities set apar;
for whites so long as they do so
in the capacity of servants or are
otherwise clearly inferior in status.
Those who insist on the caste
system In our society freely ano

somehow there is also an acomp-
aneln@ communication that the Ne
gro is inferior and is to remain so. -

The brief also argues that seq
reeation causes harmful effects to
Negro children. Citing sulve,
OF professional sociologists, an
thropologists and psychologists
conducted by the American Jewish
congress, in which 90% of the
responding experts stated that en-
forced segregation has detrimental
psychological effects on segrepat-
ed groups even though equal ia
cllltles are provided, the brief de-
clares that "phychic injury ALWAYS
accompanies segregation" and
tnat AS between a system which
imposes such penalties and one
which does not, there can be no
talk of equality"
Equality is impossible in a
segregated school system" the an
gument concludes. "'The inferior
status in which it freezes the Ne
groes and the harmful effects
which it has on them are the direct
results of the fact that the state
lends Its power, resources and aus
thorlty to the caste system
segregation is unconstitutional be-
cause, invoking the full coerciv,

Eisenhower is supposed to have sold
his stock in the ATTEMPT to cover
up.
1t is being said that Eisenhower
got funds to make this investment
from the proceeds of the sale Of
his book.
The facts on the deal by which
the General got nearly half a mil
lion dollars involve. the name of
Wall Streeter Joseph E. Davies,
former United States Ambassador
to Russia. Davies is said to have
acted as Eisenhower's financial adj
wiser in the deal with the book
publishers. Receiving an estimat-
ed $75O,0OO for his book, Eisen-
hower's normal income tax would
have been 1876 percent payment to
the Government, in the amount Of
S566,630. His own share would have
been 1888, $40. Instead, by the capt.
tai gains deal, Eisenhower got
1852, 800 and the Government was
paid $187, 800 in tax.
AS a five-star General of the
Armies, Eisenhower's salary was
$l8,761 a year. Added to this was
his Columbia University salary Of
$685. a year. With an estimated
income from this boot, receipts
placed at $22, 800, the Generals an
nual income was close to SGT, 900.

the Negro and white schools are

races and discriminates against

Segregation i'm the schools, the
brief declares, originated in ths
