DR.. Corning's request for federal
aid to build more segregated
schools came a week after the Fed
Grafton of Civic Associations haC
called upon the senate appropria-
tons subcommittee to consider the
Indignation of schools in the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Col. Robert L. Pollard. chairman
of the committee on educational ac-
ton of the Federation, estimated
that $10,0O0,0OO to S15,OOO,OOC
might be saved yearly in an inte-
grated system.
He declared that the separate
school system in the District OF
Columbia is far from being equal
The Federation of Civic Asso-
Citations is an organization com
posed of presidents and delegates
of the % local colored civic asso-
Citations. It's white counterpart is
called the Federation of Citizens
Associations.
DR.. Paul Cooke, a teacher at
Miners Teachers college and chair
man of the Greater Washington
Area Council of the American Vet
Grams Committee, also urged school
appropriations to equalize oppor-
tunity for white and colored chill
dren and asked the subcommittee
to recommend to the senate that it
begin consideration of migrating
the local public schools.

Negroes Ask 80.

"on other occasions, have been oh
served registering persons Of the
white race but never registering
persons of the Negro race"
The rejected citizens assert that
they have all of the qualifications
required by law and were denied
the right to register solely because
of their race and color. The ac-
ton Of the registrar and his dep
uties, they declare, lis in violation
of the Constitution Of the State of
Mississippi and the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth Amendments Of the Unit
ed States Constitution.
In submitting these affidavits
to the Department of Justice, Mr..
Marshall asked for ian immediate
investigation of these complaints
and the necessary definitive action
to insure the protection of the right
of qualified Negro electors to reg
lister and vote in the State of Mis-
sissippi."
Such questions as "How many
bubbles in a bar of soap?" and
What is due process of law" are
obviously questions which have
the sole purpose of disqualifying
the applicant" the NAACP attor-
ney charged. They are neither
humorous or valid" he asserted
They merely stress the point of
how ridiculous and callous these
state officers are in performing
their governmental functions with
complete disregard for law of the
land"
With elections coming up in No
vember, Mr.. Marshall reminded AS
Slstant Attorney General James NJ.
Mclnerney, Negroes as we'll as
other Americans in this country ex-
pect the Department of Justice will
vigorously defend the right of all
Americans to exercise their fran
chise."
The names of the signers of the
a1fldavlts were not made public.
Meanwhile from down in Missis-
sippi the action was seen as a con-
tinuation of the struggle for the
right to vote on the part of Hat
tlesburg and Forest County Negro
cltlzens. A few months ago a civil
suit based on the denial of their
right to register and thereby DUAL,
lfy to vote was brought against
the Circuit Clerk.
Trial of the case, which went to
the U. s. Supreme Court resulted
IN an Adjudication in which the
court withheld a final and conclus-
i've Judgment in the case while Civ
ing the Circuit Clerk the time and
opportunity to comply with the law
and his oath of office and giving
the compliments time to try the
administrative" remedies at the
local level, the failure to use such
remedies being the main argument
OF the defense in the case.
10 force each prospective Negro
voter to appeal first &c the Circuit
Clerk, next to the County Election
Committee, then to the State cleo
ton committee would take three
years for each Negro to GO through
the routine of becoming a qualified
voter.
The present action calls for the
Indictment and trial of the Circuit
Clerk under the Federal Civil
Rights Laws.

Only nine live giant pandas, of
whom Mei-Lan alone is still on view,
have come to the US. A few more
have reached zoos abroad, but there
too, they're rapidly dying out.
Probably the most famous giant
pandas were the two youngsters that
John Tee-Van of the Bronx Zoo,
brought back from Chengtu, the
capital of Szechuan Province. They
were the gift of Madame Chang
Kai-shek and her sister to the chill
dren Of the us. Unfortunately they
have since been gathered to their
honorable Chinese ancestors.
A FULLY grown giant panda may
weigh as much as 375 pounds. As
youngsters. they are as playful as they
look, but as they grow older their
added weight and sharp claws make
them risky companions. That's mat
ter we need not worry much about,
however. Conditions in China being
what they are, the immediate chance
of getting any more live giant pandas
is as slim as bamboo shoot.
Evening star., 1952-03-23

IF you want to have a look at a
j. giant panda in the flesh you'd
Ger hurry to Chicago's Brookfeld
Zoo. Mei-Lan (see cover is the only
living giant panda on exhibition in
this country, and the communists in
China have cut off the supply.
Giant pandas have a curious his
tory as well as striking appearance.
They are found only in the noun
famous area of Szechuan. Province in
Western China. There they roam the
slopes at an altitude of from 1900
to 1900 feet, feeding almost entirely
on bamboo shoots, stems and leaves.
First foreign hunter to bag giant
panda was the late Theodore Roose-
welt, Jr., who shot one for the Chicago
Museum of Natural History (then
known as the Field Museum) "a years
ago. Scientists were puzzled: Giant
pandas look like bears, but are more
closely allied to raccoons. Scientists
finally endowed the rare species with

LAST WEEK OF CLEANUP

Residents are reminded that there is only one more Week i'll the annual cleanup month of May.
 Trash can be hauled onto the city dump without special per init or if piled in available plac- es, city trucks will make the pickup.
 During the winter visitors re marked on the primitive look of Seward. SeWardites know that most of the primitiveness is on the outside, but visitors and tourists can not be aware of that fact. They can only judge from the condition of yards and the ext terior appearance of buildings.
 Skeletons of discarded auto mobiles, scattered lumber, paper and tin cans, in yards and lots do nothing to impress tourists with the idea that this is really busy and important Alaskan city.
