unjustiflable assumptions that separate
schools are Inherently unequal" and
"that segregation is pSychologic
harmful to colored children" Presum-
ably, in the opinion of the court, So
cial interrogation Of the races in the
classrooms and at PTA meetings will
not be "pSychologically harmful" to
white children. If such reasoning is
sound, then the Federal Government
may dictate the curricula of the public
school systems created by the reSpec-
tive States to eliminate all reference to
Negro slavery in the teaching Of Amer
ican history, since this would be equally
"psychologically harmful" to colored
children.
This decision is the inevitable result
Of the successful New Deal campaign
for the Negro vote. with the attendance
of the wife Of the President Of the
United States at Negro social func-
tionS and the contemptuous invasion
of States rights in violation Of the
tenth amendment. President EiSen-
hover and the Republican Party have
acclaimed this unconstitutional de-
cision in the effort to recapture the
Negro vote. This leaves the voters Of
the Southern States in q quandafy,
since both parties are equally guilty
of encouraging this unconscionable
restraint upon freedom of action
by the States in sphere where they
are constitutionally invested with ex-
elusive Jurisdiction.
BY this decision the Negro pressure
groups are encouraged to look hope
fully forward to the day when their
ultimate goal will be attained-com-
plete social equality and intermarriage
with the whites.

With so much discussion taking place
concerning the separation of power be-
tween the three branches of the Gov
ernment, particularly the alleged in
fringement by Congress upon the pre-
negatives of the Executive, it might be
well for Congress in light Of the school
segregation cases to re-examine its own
position. and the extent that the super
legislature. the Supreme Court. has
usurped the power of Congress, and
through it, Of the people.
This group, which knows best the
peoples true welfare, has now assumed
by proclamation. decree and judicial
fiat, and by virtue of its alleged "inter-
pretive" powers, coupled with the pro-
miScuous use of the injunction, COM
plete and autocratic control over the
American people, all with the blessings
and trappings of "law" and "order."
The solution is simple one. In JUS
tice to itself, and to maintain its self
respect, Congress should avail itself Of
the following remedy in the alternative:
ID To withdraw forthwith the courts
power of injunction, and thus relegate
it to its true and proper function under
the Constitution: co to place rider in
the courts appropriation bill forbidding
the use of Government funds for the ef-
fectuation and enforcement Of this
manifestly unlawful seizure of total
power. There is no hope, Of course.
that such an action win be taken, since
not only the court, but Congress, as
well as both political parties, are held
in the clutches of Northern pressure
groups. This would seem particularly
so in light of the startling and insidious
clause in the recently proposed consti-
tutional amendment relating to the Su-
preme Court, removing forever the
power of Congress to regulate or super
wise the courts appellate jurisdiction"
Apart from the aims and objectives
Of the courts action, it will be interest
ing to see whether the self-proclaimed
liberal groups, usually in the noisy
forefront in their professed adherence
to constitutional law" "due process"
and civil liberties" and their claimed
dislike Of methods" in connection with
the removal Of subversives from the
Federal payroll, win take note Of the
