Representatives of various organ
izations, religious groups and in
dividuals last week contributed
more than $1,000 to the NAACP
10 help defray expenses in con-
nection with five school cases
now pending before the u. S. Su-
preme court.
The donations were made to
Thurgood Marshall, one Of the at
torneys in the school litigation,
who was the principal speaker at
a state conference Of NAACP
branches here.
In his address before the con-
ference, Marshall accused South
Carolina of being the last strong
hold of segregation in the South.
The noted attorney said the state
will have to catch up with the
rest of the South In recognizing
that the walls of racial Segrega-
zion "are tumbling down."
Marshall then went on to say
he has been unable to find evil
dence of the states boast that 1t
is spending large sums to i'm
prove Negro schools. In taking
dim view of the states building
program, Marshall said in part:
f'They say all the money spent
in South Carolina on schools is
being spent on Negroes. I've been
busily engaged in trying to find
out where"
He added that even if the state
''built the most beautiful school
building in the world" for Ne
groes, it still is going to have to
end segregation.
One of the five school cases In
which Marshall will participate
had Its origin in South Carolina.
Tt is the Clarendon county school
case, which represents the first
time in the goth century that the
constitutionality Of segregation
has been challenged. This case,
along with four others. Is sched-
aled to be reheard by the nations

INSTITUTIONAL ADVERTISEMENT
TELLS BOOKER r STORY

Philadelphia An Institutional advertise
ment telling "The Story of the Booker T. y
was released by the Pennstate Cigar Cor
poration to Negro newspapers throughout
the country last week.
In three well-worded paragraphs, the
manufacturers of the new Booker T" cigar
tell an impressive story of how Negro wo-
men are employed at every level of produc-
ton throughout the factory; and this has
been the company's policy for over ten years.
Noteworthy evidence of Pennstate's sim
cerity in employing Negroes is clearly stat
ed in the advertisement which says in part,
-. Negro women were employed in cigar
factories only for the stripping of the leaf
tobacco; never for the actual making of CT.
CARS. Some 10 years ago. and purely as a
matter of sound and efficient business
practice, Pennstate decided that ability and
character were the only sound standards for
employment, and since has run it's factory
on policy of absolute racial Indignation in
all departments. That this policy has been
vendicated has been born out by the fact
that Pennstate justifiably claims one of the
best-if not the best-production record
in the entire industry"

NeWSFOrV Veterans

The CT Bill for World War III veterans is
NINE years old this week. One of it's benefits
IS still in full force, another is approaching
The end, and third has longsince faded into
History.
The Act, signed into law during the height
of the war on June o. 1884, in addition to
sfher provisions furnished three major read
Iustment aids to veterans in their efforts to
get back into the swing of civilian living.
One was program of guaranteed loaus
eor homes, farms and businesses; another,
sense, and the third, readjustment allow.
auces for periods of unemployment.
The CT loan program still is in effect, and
has four more years to run. 1t comes to an
end for nearly all World War II veterans on
July %, 1857.
So far, the Veterans Administration said,
some 100000 veterans have obtained CT
sans for homes, with VA guaranteeing or
9isuring about half the amount
Ninety percent of the loans have gone to
veterans who wanted to buy or build homes.
The remainder have been for farms and bus
MASSES.
Veterans have turned out to be excellent
loan risks, VA said. More than 0,OOO loans
already have been paid in full And only
eight-tenths of one percent of all loans were
defauted to the extent that VA has to make
good the guaranteed portions to the lender
The CT Bill education and training pre-
gram reached it's cutoff point for most
World War III veterans on July 25, 1851. For
the most part, the only World War II vet
Grams now in training are those who started
before the cutoff date and who have re-
manned in training since except for Interrupt
tons beyond their control.
The third major CT Bill benefit--readjust-
ment allowances for unemployment and SELF
ampIoyment--passed out of the picture for
All but handful of veterans in July, 1919
Under the program. about 100000 ve;-
Grams drew readjustment allowances that
ootalad $3.2 billion for unemployment and
$500, 100000 for selfemployment
q understand that with credit controls
6fted it's possible to get 30-year CT loan
with no down payment. But can't. find
anybody who will lend me the money on
those terms. Aren't lenders required to do
that under the law?
A No. Although such terms are per-
nissible, it's still up to the lender to make
his own decision as to the terms Of the loan.
