By S. S. Taylor, Associate Editor

Here interesting and counter comments
the Supreme Court decision:
IMMIGRATION should be gradual"
How long gradual? It has been coming gradually for
80 years
"Custom should not be changed by law"
If custom could change itself it would not be custom.
Even equal SEPARATE facilities supposed to be the
tom, have to be sued for!

Where does the state get the right to discriminate Are
the only states rights worth contendng the nslavng
Negroes and enforcing of segregation?

poor whites who pay less than many Negroes

"Inegraton will mongreze the races"
The term "rnongrelzation" is an insult And the pros

during slavery and the slave trade happen now

grafton at the graduate level Even Mississippi and Alabama
me only dissenting states registered respectively for negra
uon 81 per cent and 40 per like segregation sen-
ment IS somewhat atypicaI
1t IS shameful that nation have laws on scgre-

The Supreme Court decision will please Communists"
1t won't give them much satisfaction as segregation
% mas been one Of their chief propaganda weapons Only
SATURDAY radio commentator reported Moscow saws u
