Fish swim. Mary also swims.
Therefore Mary is a fish.
It was almost by this sort
of reasoning that the Supreme
Court last week jumped from
a finding that segregation was
unconstitutional in the States
to a similar finding for the
District, which is not a State.
In striking down the old
doctrine of separate but equal
facilities" which has stood
since 1896, the justices held
that segregation imposed by
States violated the equal pro-
lection of the laws" clause OF
the 14th amendment. This Is
the clause which forbids the
States from depriving any citi-
zen of the equal protection OF
the laws.
But the District case was
argued by necessity under the
fifth amendment which con-
tainS no such clause. This Is
the amendment which forbids
the Federal Government from
depriving any citizen Of life,
liberty or property without due
process of the law.
So 1t became necessary Tor
the court to try to prove that
equal protection Of the laws"
and "due process" were really
the same thing In this case.
But Just to make sure that
the Jump from one amend
ment to the other was
complete, the opinion OBJ
served in effect that If segrega-
ton was unconstitutional as
to the States, it could not be-
any less so as to the Federal
Government in the District.
Here is where Mary became q
fish.
It is fair to say that the his
toric decision was not upex-
pected. although the tradition

ton.
Fast Action
The Commissioners, the
Board Of Education and the
Recreation Board leaped into
action. The following de-
velopments have occurred:
School advance registration
was postponed until next Sep
tember. when a majority Of
the school board expects in
tegration to become effective.
Necessary legislation is being
drafted.
The Recreation Board or
dered immediate integration
Of all its Fairgrounds, pools
and other facilities under its
direction. This brings policy
on city recreation properties
in line with that on Federal
park and recreation properties
which have been integrated
for many years.
The Commissioners, who
have been putting into effect
their own integration program
in municipal government. will
try to speed up its completion.
Principal target win be the
Fire Department.
One Of the less obvious but
perhaps more important effects
that may be expected from the
decision is an increase in inte-
grafton of previously white
neighborhoods. Although this
has been going on anyway un-
der the impetus of the earlier
Supreme Court covenant deci-
sion. it has been slowed by the
dual school system. Negro
families moving into white
neighborhoods had real prob
lens getting their children to
Negro schools. BY next Sep
tember. this brake probably

which information had been
withheld from Congress on the
identical ground given by
President Eisenhower.
In q later press conference
the President added that the
conference In question had
nothing to do with the basic
issue Of alleged pressure by
Senator Mccarthy and his
aides on the Army or alleged
"blackmail" by the Army Of
the Mccarthy investigating
committee and that he wanted
the investigation to continue
until all the principals had
been heard.
Democrats Bock
Meanwhile subc o mmittee
Democrats had taken another
reading and decided the min
uteS Of the Adams meeting
were not quite so important.
They urged that the hearings
continue without them. When
Chairman Karl Mundt, under
pressure from White House
and Senate G. o. p. leaders,
also said, "On with the show"
resumption of the hearings
tomorrow seemed assured.
But it was not clear what
course Senator Mccarthy
would take. He accused the
White House of putting up
an iron curtain" of playing
with q stacked deck" and
taking the fifth amendment"
because 1t must have some-
thing to hide" He said he
would attend the Monday
hearing, but did not say
whether he would continue to
take full part in the investi-
cation.
There were rumors he would
walk out. charging the execu-
tive with making a fair hear
ing impossible, or that he
would merely refuse to take
the witness stand.
What the Senate could do
in those eyentualities was de-
bated in the cloakrooms and
corridors Of Congress. The
consensus seemed to be that
the Senate probably could
subpoena Senator Mccarthy,
but that out Of difference to
a fellow member Of the club,
probably would not.

preme Court opinions was well
maintained up to the very mo-
ment Chief Justice Warren be-
gan reading. The question was
rather how it would be done
than whether 1t would be done.
What was most surprising was
that the ruling was unanimous.
Whatever its legal weak
nesses may or may not be, the
opinion is q recognition Of the
fact-and it is q fact-that
separate facilities in the case
of schools for Negroes are
seldom equal.
DECIDE Advance
The significance of the de-
cision for the District, and
perhaps for the Metropolitan
Area, will be to advance the
timetable of ultimate integrated
living by perhaps a decade or
more. Anti segregationists
knew that while segregation
barriers have been crumbling
here on many fronts, the day
Of ultimate integration would
be delayed so long as separate
schools were established by law.

McCorthy-Army
Constitutional Issue
Comes Into Focus as
Committee Recesses

The fact that the basic
issue in the Mccarthy Army
hearing is a constitutional one
"a conflict of legislative and
executive jurisdictions = was
successfully hidden during
the first four weeks Of the
investigation by extraneous
issues and pickering over de-
tails.
But last week the constitu-
tional issue was brought more
sharply into focus.
It all started two weeks ago
when John G. Adams, gen.
eral counsel of the Depart
ment Of the Army. mentioned
q high-level administration
strategy meeting on Senator
Joseph r. Mccarthy, Repub-
lican, Of Wisconsin but re-
fused to reveal details OF the
meeting.
Subcommittee members -
and Senator Mccarthy -
pressed Mr.. Adams for more
information. all claiming that
such information was essen
tial for q thorough investiga-
ton of the Army-McCarth
charges. Mr.. Adams, however.
said orders from on high had
sealed his lips.
The hearings were recessed
for a week after last Mondays
session so that the President
could be requested to release
the information. There were
predictions from subcommittee
sources that the hearings
would not be resumed If Mr..
Adams remained silent.
Eisenhower's Stond
But President Eisenhower
ordered Mr.. Adams to withhold
the information. He based his
order on the constitutional
principle that zone Of the three
great branches Of Government
shall not encroach upon the
authority conf1ded to the
others" Throughout our his
tory, he said, ''the President has
withheld information when
ever he found that what was
sought was confidential or its
disclosure would be incompat-
ible with the public interest or
jeopardize the safety Of the
nation"
To support his stand he cited
