inter-racial institutions, it was pre-
dicted here today by DIR. Rufus F.
Clement, president of Atlanta Uni

First Lieut.. Irwin A. Sherman
a Methodist minister, who saw
three major campaigns north of

1t. Sherman said that he had
learned first hand that people,
still free of the hand of the iron
curtain and who mainly consider
themselves part of the so-called
darker races which total about
three-fourths of the worlds pop
ulation, actually desired to become
Americans or be given chance
to live under a system like ours.
However, he said the advent of

stitutionality of public school seq
regation will be e-argued next
month before the Supreme Court.
A battery of NAACP lawyers,
headed by Thurgood Marshall, the
Associations special counsel, will
ask the court to rule that state
constitutional provisions and stat
utes under which segregation is
required or permitted are in viola
ton of the U. S. Constitution.
The Southern governors appar-
emily wished to withhold any COM
ment until the cases have been
decided. Meanwhile, South Carolina
and Georgia have initiated steps to
permit the abolition of the public
school systems in those states in

segregation.

ers have scarcely toe hold in SUI
pervisory jobs and in no case did
Negroes work over whites in the

Dewey found that in the few in

workers performed the same jobs
in the same plant, they receive
the same pay and fringe benefits.
He found some instances where
Negro workers have been moved
into jobs previously held by white
workers.
Dewey stated that labor unions
