tille (Md.) grocer, apparently
slugged and robbed Saturday
night. came to suburban Oak
Park police for help yesterday.
Charles r. Leatherman. 80,

waSteful to spend time condemn

unanimous. However, there is
hope in that the effective date
was left open and that the court
will permit the Representatives of

given whites. The 1896 doctrine
was based on segregation in rail-
road passenger cars.
For years Negroes have been
inching toward yesterdays ruling
by appealing to the Supreme
Court against various forms of
segregation imposed on them.
They had argued over and
over, and won case after case,
that it's a myth to think segre-
gated Negroes get equal treat
ment with whites.
But for So years the court had
never overturned that ruling of
1896 by saying segregation of it
self is unconstitutional.

interstate buses and trains but
limited itself to saying Negroes
were not getting equal treatment
on segregated trains and buses.
NAACP Moved Slowly.
With the Supreme Court stick
ing rigidly to the doctrine of
separate but equal" laid down
in the 10th century, the NAACP
felt it had to move slowly in
trying to get segregation itself
declared unconstitutional.
A couple of years ago the
NAACP, together with some
Negro and white lawyers not con-
nected with it, took the big step:
1t asked the court to rule that
segregation of Negro children in
public schools-whether or not
the schools were as good as the
white children'S-waS unconSti-

NAACP Set 10 Push
Segregation Fight
On Broadened Front
By jones MorIow "
Associated Press Sfoff Writer

Negroes now will try to end
segregation in places set up with
tax funds, such as hospitals
bathing beaches, State parks
and public housing.
A representative Of the Ma
tional Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People
said this effort will be made on
a broad front.
The Supreme Court yesterday
paved the way for this with its
landmark decision outlawing
segregation in the public schools
of the States on the ground that
it violates the 14th Amendment.
That amendment says all cit
liens must be treated equally.
But for So years, until yesterday,
no court had said segregation
by itself was wrong.
Based on 1896 Case.
Since 1896 this has been the
position of the court: Even
though Negroes were segregated,
there was no violation of the
14th Amendment so long as they

beyond the scope of national
boundaries and contemplates the
world within their sense of re-
sponsibility.
To such men the fate of the
peasant on the plains of Asia is
part of the same pattern as the
rights and liberties of their fellow
Americans at home. When they
speak of peace in the Middle East,
of friendship and support to all
the nations in that uneasy region,
they set forth principles which
all right-thinking men can up
hold and applaud. Here is part
of the world in which American
interest goes back one hundred
and twenty years, when Yankee
traders first sailed to the Levant.
They came for trade purposes, to
be sure, but who can say how
great a part religious conviction
played in directing their atten-
ton to this hallowed corner of
the world. We know that the
same spirit of religious devotion
exists to this very day and in
spires the principles of peace
which our leaders pronounce.
