That opinion was voiced before

100000. High school students,
though, still attend classes in tenn
porary, sub-standard buildings.
The Negro school leader told his
listeners: ''If we could get good
building program established with
adequate facilities for all the chill

would soon be solved. We should
not get all fouled up over some
thing that is out yonder some

Candidate Files
Election Suit

OKLAHOMA CITY, Aug. g.
A 100000 lawsuit against the
State Election Board was filed yes

ing the required designation of
Negroes on Oklahoma ballots.
The plaintiff, A. B. Mcdonald,
was a candidate for the Demo-

by Sen. Robert S. Kerr.
Mcdonald bases his suit on the
word "Negro" placed after his

1887 state legislative act providing
such listing is unconstitutional and
amounts to segregation in viola

French Fly Ex-SuItar
OF Morocco 10 New
Exile Farther Away
BY the Assoeio,sd Press

PARIS, Jan. 25.-The French
government announced today it
is flying the deposed ex-Sultan
Of Morocco. Sidi Mohammed Ben
YouSsef. from the Mediterranean
island of Corsica to q new resi-
dence in exile.
The government did not an
nounce the new home Of the ex-
ruler, but the French News
Agency speculated that he had
been whisked to Frances far-of
South Pacific island of Tahiti.
or perhaps to Madagascar, Of
the Southeast African coast.
Either place would be con-
Siderably farther than Corsica
from the troubled North African
protactorates Of French and
Spanish Morocco, where Ben
Youssef was religious chief Of
the Moslems until the French
last August charged him with
encouraging nationalist extrem-
lists and jerked him OF his
throne.
Ever since his exile. the French
repeatedly have feared Moslem
militantS might try to rescue
him from Corsica.
A Foreign Ministry announce
ment said a special plane was
taking the 40-year-old ex-Sul-
tan, his two sons and about
10 persons of his encourage" to
their new home and that he
would be joined by "other men,
bers of his suite" The announce
ment added the trip would take
several days, Ito reduce the
fatigue of travel"
In addition to his sons, Ben
Youssef had been accompanied
to Corsica by his three daugh-
tiers. two wives and some 20 con-
cubines. The French have said
it cost $4,000 a month to feed
and house them all on Corsica.
Ben Youssef's removal from
Corsica obviously was linked
with new anti-French agitation
in Morocco.
