Supreme Court Refuses To
Re-Heur Two Racial Gases

Washington 49, amp - The
! Supreme Court got off to a good
start as far as civil rights are
concerned last week when it de-
clined to act in two race cases.
II refused to review a ruling of
lower court that the city of
Kansas City, Mo, could not seq
regate white and colored persons
in city-owned swimming pools.
Kansas city authorities appeal
ed to the high court to rule
against the Federal court decision
that the pools could not be segre-
gated because the facilities per-
hitting Negroes are inferior to
those used by white persons. BY
its refusal to consider this case,
the decision of the lower court be-
comes the law.
The court also refused to recon-
slider its decision of last June that
signers of racial covenants may
not be sued for damages resulting
from sale of restricted real estate
to non-whites.
The case originated in Los An
geles and was appealed to
Supreme court this term by three
individuals from that city. When
the high tribunal declined to hear
rearguments on this case, its de-
cision of last summer stands.
At the end of the first week of
this session under the new Chief
Justice Warren, the high tribunal
ruled on 270 applications for re-
view of lower court decisions.
