For Lettuce packinq

With temperatures returning to
normal. the spring lettuce harvest
is accelerating rapidly, according
to John r. Foley, Manager, Phoe-
nix Farm Office. Arizona State
Employment Service. approximate
ly 400 additional workers will be
needed this week Those individuals
seeking employment, who are able
and willing to work in farm labor

the office, located at 80 East Madi-
son Street in Phoenix for referral
to the fields. Those workers in the
Glendale area may report to the

Third Avenue in Glendale. Tasks
involved in lettuce include cutting
and trimming, packing, lidding, and

from Alton w. Thomas, director of
the Phoenix Urban League that
this development is very favorable
for Negro agricultural workers,
since it is the first year that this
type of work has been open to
them. Negrot workers are urged
to take advantage of this oppor-
tunity tas it will afford the worker
the change to work all year round
instead of only seasonal harvesting

have consented to change their
policy and hire Nero lettuce work
ers. 1t is urging that all interested

ney for a South Carolina School

people in his state will refuse to
send their children to school with
Negro children. The South Caro-
lima lawyer said he does not be-
lieve the attitude of his community
is ready for mtegrated schools.
Chief Justice Warren, seemingly
irked, snapped: 1t is not a question
of conforming to an attitude but
of conforming to a decree. The law
yer was then asked by the court:
you are not willing to say hon.
estly what the district would at
tempt to comply with the decree"
Rogers suggested that 1--WE leave
honesty out of it." Chief Justice
said, "Pd rather not" Rogers then
said don't think white people will

Rogers, arguing that details be

lHe case De reCurneu tCO lower
courts) without instructions"
Rogers appearance followed the
argument by a lawyer for Negro
groups, who declared that Southern
States are asking either a mora
torium or local opinion" in their
proposal for gradual and locally
administered integration.
Thurgood Marshall, counsel for
the National Association for Ad-
vancement of Colored People and
lowyer for South Carolina and Vir-
ginia Negro petitioners, declared:
There is no place for local OPP
ton in the constitution"
Marshall assailed the Southern
moratorium" plans as unavoidable
and called for forthwith" integra-
ton.
He said: "If local district courts
are to say how much time is
needed, Negroes will he in horrible
shape
Mention was made Of the con-
tention that there are differences
of ability between Negro and white
children.
Marshall commented: "Put the
dunlb Negro children with the
dumb white children, and the
smart Negro children with the
smart white children - that's no
problem" -
According to late report, the
Eisenhower administration urged
the supreme court to use ''n1odera-
ton with firmness" in ordering the
states to end racial segregation in
their public schools.
u. S. Solicitor General Simon E:
Sobeloff said the government does
not agree with attorneys for Negro
groups that integrated schools
should be ordered forthwith. Nor
does it favor turning the problem
over to lower court with no target
date for ending segregation, he
said. ~ss#
Sobeloff said the prope recourse
would be to send the school cases
back to lower courts with specific
orders to end segregation as fast
as possible.
He emphasized that lower courts
should not ibe given BLANK checks"
however, but should have "some
guide, some criteria," to follow.
They should he instructed to
brook no delay except for good
cause, he added.

There are certain Jobs where definite qualifications
needed feel that the Board of Education is of
those places.
You could persuade qualified who had the educa-

men the Board of Education though there is
salary with the job but who would for such
