EVERY VETERAN
SHOULD KNOW

that II veterans subsistence
allowance or compensation has
been overpaid, repayment may
be required, based upon a det-
ermination as to whether the
over-payment was without fault
on part of veteran and whether
recovery thereof would defeat
the purpose of benefits other
wise authorized or against equi-
ty and good conscience. II the
claimant believes the immediate
repayment of the total amount
overpaid is impossible or will
result in undue hardship, he
should be assisted in preparing
a request for partial deduction
from his compensation or pen

THIS is THE LAW

NOW:
1. The five cases considered to-
gether by the Supreme Court, and
to which its decision was directed,
dealt with segregation in the PUB
Lie SCHOOLS ONLY. The opin-
ion by Chief Justice Earl Warren
and an unanimous court did not
purport to deal with segregation
outside the public schools. 1t would
seem to follow-although the court
in its 4,000-word opinion did not
specifically say so-that other
State segregation laws affecting
segregation in intra-State trans
portation and the like remain I'M
changed. 1t should be emphasized
that the decision affects PUBLIC
schools-those operated with State
funds-only. 1t does NOT, of
course, affect PRIVATE or DE-
UNCONVENTIONAL schools.
A recent headline in a Durham
Tabor City tribune. (Tabor City, N.C.) 1946-1991, 1954-06-02

paper. indicating that private
schools are also involved, was OBJ
viously in error.
2. The II states now having seq
regation will be gixen a chance in
arguments before the Supreme
Court AFTER next October l to
suggest means and procedures for
putting the new rule into effect.
Since the 1954-5 school year will
have started even before argu-
ments begin, it is strong bet-as
practical matter-that no actual
transition to mixed classes will
take place in North Carolina dur
ing the next school year, and per-
haps, not for some time after that.
3. Once the new plan is put
into effect, it is doubtful that any
thing approaching a general mix
ing of the races in the classroom
will occur in the near future. This
is true because Of the rule adopted
by our State Board of Education
which says that children must at
tend school outside his own
home district only if the school
heads of the two districts involved
in proposed transfer agree to the
transfer, or, if the transfer is al
lowed by the State Board of Edu-
caSion. There seems to be no
sound reason why these rules of
the Education Board should be
altered as result of the Court
decision. Since most white chill
dren live in the close vicinity of
the schools which they now attend,
and the same is true of negro
children, it appears, at least at the
outset, that first mixing of the
races would be slight.
4. There is nothing in the FED
ERAL Constitution or in the Su-
preme Courts segregation ruling
which says that a State MUST
operate public schools. Our North
Carolina Constitution - which
could be changed by amendment
on vote of the people-says, in
Article TX, Sec. 2 that the General
Assembly shall provide by taxa
ton land otherwise" a uniform
system of public schools, free"
to children between and 81, with
separate but indiscriminate schools
for whites and negroes.
The fact that free" public
schools are provided for both
races, as well as Indians, is a VOL
untary function in State govern
ment. The fact that public schools
are provided at all is a voluntary
assumption of responsibility on
the part of the State.
100000 Affected
Approximately 100000 white
and negro students and teachers
Will be affected by the decision in
North Carolina, once it is put into
effect. In the 1923 school wear
there were 652,622 white students
(ll per cent? in our public schools.
There were 276,40l negro pupols
(29 per cent?. The white students
mad 2O,885 teachers (62 per cent?
the negroes 8,03l teachers (38 per
cent?.
The meat of the historic court
decision is found in the terse
statement: Separate educational
1acilltleS are inherently enequal"
Chief Justice Warren, in the
choice of those words, meant sim
ply that no matter how equal the

SEGREGATION IN SCHOOLS

The recent momentous decision
Of the Supreme Court outlawing
segregation of the races in the
public schools Of this country has
excited intense speculation about
practical results and will continue
to do so-indefinitely.
No man can say with any degreS
of certainty WHEN the actual
transition to mixed classes will
begin. or. what course it will take
once it begins.
There are a few broad facts

Brazil Holly Denies
Causing Coffee Rise
BY the Assoeiassd Press

RIO DE JANEIRo. Brazil
The government holly denied
today any responsibility for the
recent sharp rise in coffee prices
It said it was attempting to in
sure adequate shipments to con-
sumner markets, especially the
United States.
The official statement, issued
by Foreign Minister Vicente Rao,
replied to what the government
called "insinuations" that it had
caused the rises by direct or in
direct action" Brazilian sources
have claimed the increases were
due to increased world con-
sumption and short supply, re-
sulting from frost damage to
many Brazilian trees.
Mr.. Rao declared the Brazil
ian government "does not inter-
fere. in the market to provoke
price increases" On the con-
trary, he added, it is disposed
to discourage any price hiking
maneuvers seeking to take adj
vantage Of a statistical position
caused only by frosts and other
climatic factors"

Thieves Get 40 Pounds
Of Hiqh-Priced Coffee

1t may yet be necessary to
carry coffee in armored trucks,
with even police-not known for
lavish theft estimates valuing
it at 81 a pound.
Mrs. Bonnie o. Carroll, of
1890 Valleywood drive, Wheaton,
Md, a route saleswoman for the
Standard Coffee Co., 1929 Ver-
mont avenue NV. complained
that someone stole 40 pounds Of
coffee from her truck.
She said the theft occurred
while the truck was parked yes
terday in the l400 block of N
street NV. Police said witnesses
spotted two men, their arms
laden with coffee, running from
the truck. The coffee was valued
at $40.

as many weeks. cutting the mar
gin Of profit to the point where
cafe owners are going to have to
make move to maintain q mar
gin of profit.
Mr.. Leech said his association
members have pledged them
selves to "hold the line as long
as possible"
1--WE are going to do every
thing possible" he said. when
we find we can't make a fair
profit, we will have no other
recourse than to raise the price.
Pressure May Change Picture.
II would say the 15-cent cup
of coffee is just over the horizon,
barring pressure from the public
that would knock coffee prices
down." y
Members of the association
have pledged themselves to
maintain quality and raise the
price. rather than water their
product.
On the other hand there is,
Of course. the drug chain that
still offers coffee with cream and
sugar at z cents q cup. And there
are also small coffee and dough-
nut shops that intend to main
tain the 10-cent and. in some
cases scent price.
Price Attracts Business.
This, say the restaurant men,
is loss-leader. The bargain
basement coffee attracts custom
ers, who purchase doughnuts.
cake or buns to eat while sip
ping their brew. Profits come
from the pastry.
Standard Brands, Inc, one Of
the Nations largest food distrib-
utors, has gone into the situa-
ton with painstaking care.
The company figures that, I'M
der current conditions. with res
taurant-type coffee selling at be-
tween 80 cents and 81 a pound,
and figuring 40 cups to a pound,
it costs the restaurant between
7 and 8 cents to produce a cup.

is slim. And when it's wiped
out by an increase in the whole
sale price, it's the customer who
pays.
The blame for the situation
is being placed on the weather
in Brazil. Two droughts and a
severe freeze. New York brokers
insist, have produced a short
crop.

Coffee Outlook Black, Cafes
PeekInto 75c Cupt to Avoid Red

The 15-cent cup of coffee for
Washington restaurant patrons
appears inevitable.
Dire warnings that this dismal
outlook looms came from Gordon
Leech. president of the Wash
ington Restaurant Association.
Restaurateurs. generally, have
been notified that coffee prices
about 1/14 less coffee than orig
inally anticipated.
1T is hard to believe that
crop damage, even though ex-
tenSive, if only one country, re-
ducing anticipated exports by
only one-fourteenth, could so
radically affect the coffee mar
ket."
Praise ETC Inquiry.
A number of lawmakers said
they were pleased the ETC was
undertaking the job of determin-
ing whether any law has been
violated in domestic coffee
trading.
Chairman Aiken of the Senate
Agriculture Committee said he
had received "some nasty letters"
about his proposal that coffee
drinkers turn to milk and
thereby solve the problems both
of high coffee prices and of dairy
SURPRISES.
He said one correspondent
pointed out milk costs a dollar
gallon" and another worried
about adults taking milk away
from children.
The Senator said his commit
tee would act next week on a
proposal by Senator Gillette,
Democrat, of Iowa to require the
Commodity Exchange Authority
to supervise coffee trading. Hear
ings may be held, Senator Aiken
said.
