Physical Facilities
OF School

WASHINGTON, D. c. Fifty
eight first year students registered
in the Howard University School of
Law on Tuesday, the first day of
registration for Law School stu
dents. This represents the largest
enrolment in thirty-one years of
new students in that school, it was
announced today by Dean George
M. Johnson, of the Law School.
Dean Johnson in discussing the
enrolment stated, "The SO first
year students who registered on
the first day of enrolment a Sc
percent increase in enrolment
when compared with last years
total first year enrolment of 81
students.
"This large first year class is
taxing our physical facilities to the
point where it may be necessary to
turn away late registrants," Dean
Johnson added. "This situation
underscores the desperate need for
the new Law School Building"
Dean Johnson was referring to
the new law school building which
has been approved by Congress but
was set aside due to emergency de-
| velopments. The Law School still
holds classes in the Founders Lib
rary Building.
The Dean stated further that:
at is our hope that this emergency
period will pass soon and that the
Federal Government will be able to
authorize the construction of new
Law School Building at the earliest
possible date"
The Howard University Law
School. founded in 1869, now offers
a curriculum consisting of 80 diff
ferent courses designed to prepare
students for the successful prac-
tice of law in every state and in
the District of Columbia. Since
| 1881, it has been on the approved
list of the American Bar Associa-
ton, and a member of the Associa-
toin Of American Law Schools. The
faculty is composed of legal schol-
| airs who have received their train
ing in every section of the country.

the transaction.
She filed a petition in United
States Tax court last week stating
that the commissioner wanted to
tax her that sum on $66,668 she
had received from the former
heavyweight champions winnings
in 1947 and 194S. Mrs. Spauling
said she never had used any of
the money for herself. 1t was all
placed in a trust fund for their
child, she added.
Pointing out that Joe Louis was
the donor, she said he was the one
who should pay the taxes. She
merely acted as his agent, she
said.
According to terms of their di-
vorce, Mrs. Spauling said she re-
ceived % per cent of all purses
Louis earned. Half of this was
to go to the child's trust fund.

Kinds County only allows S43.27
for Negroes and $146.44 for White.
In the Jackson Separate School
District $184.34 is allowed for
White while Negroes only receive
S92.7O, which is stated in the Re
cess Education Committees report.
1t is understandable that the
schools on the South side in Chi

are migrating there faster than the

alton Of the John Dickinson Man
sion, which is being done. The home

Dover that leads to kits Hummock.
Mrs. Ridgely told of the migration
OF the Dickinson family from Mary
land to Delaware, where John
Dickinson was to become a man of
stature and an important cOntribu-
tor to the early history of Delaware.
1t is because of this Importance as
( the "penman of the Revolution"
that the Colonial Danes raised
$4,000 for the restoration. No date
has been set for the formal opening
since the restoration is now going
on but due notice will be given.
Interest is being taken in furniture
and furnishings of that period to
be placed therein as contemporary

very little of the possessions of the
Dickinson family is available. Pic
lures of the home were shown by
