Constitution. and I might sug-
gest that If there are civil rights,
there are also civil wrongs.
Points to Overcrowding
1t seems to me. in view of the
facts, that the white schools are
hardly sufficient to hold the
present number Of white stu
dents; that it would be unthink-
ably and unbearably wrong to
require the white students to get
out so that the colored students
could come in. That would be
the result of Indignation here.
The facts reveal that there
are about is per cent Of the
$4,000 students in Dallas that
are colored. and the remainder
Of that vast amount are, of
course, white students. Dallas
is constantly growing. as the
testimony shows, and the school
board and city council are con-
stantly making further expendi-
lures to increase school facilities
for each white and colored, and
see no equity here. gentlemen,
which would require an injunc-
ton which would compel inte-
grafton as prayed and sought at
the present time. ! therefore
dismiss this suit without preju-
dice in order that the school
board may have ample time, as it
appears to be doing, to work
out this problem.

TEXT OF ATWELL DECISION
Anti-Integrotion Ruling
\ Cites Crowded Schools

DALLAS. Ter, Dec. 20 (P.--
FOLLOWING is the teri OF the
decision OF United States Dis
trtct Judge William H. AtWeH
/ in the Dallas school integrd-
ton case:
This case was originally filed
in September. 1855. and the
court dismissed the case, after
having heard testimony, without
prejudice.
Plaintiffs appeared, and on
May rs. 1856, the Circuit Court
of Appeals, through two Of its
Judges. reversed, and directed
the trial court to afford the
parties a full hearing on the
issues rendered in their plead
ings. In his dissenting opinion,
Chief Justice Cameron was most
convincing and somewhat elabo-
rate in his citation and reason
ing. and announced that he
would affirm the lower court.
We must bear in mind that
the laws Of Texas. for a long
time in existence and based upon
q constitutional provision, pro-
vide for public schools which
shall be financed out Of and
from taxation. For many years,
the colored people of Texas have
been their own teachers, and
have had their own teachers and
their own school facilities and
pupils of their own color. The
white people have had their own
schools with appropriate facil-
tiles and teachers.
A year or two ago, the SUI
preme Court Of the United
States, on the question Of Sc
gregation. stated. quoting, I'VE
come then to the question pre-
sented: Does segregation of chill
ldren in public schools solely on
the basis of race. even though
the physical facilities and other
tangible factors may be equal.
deprive the children Of the mi
nority group of equal educa-
itional opportunities? We believe
that 1t does" That is the end
OF that quotation from the SUI
lpreme Court.
Lack Of Annexation Claimed
l believe that it will be seen
that the court based its de-
cision on no law but rather on
what the court regarded as more
authoritative. modern psyche
logical knowledge than existed
at the time that the now dis
carded doctrine of equal facili-
ties was initiated. It will be re-
called that in 1852. Mr.. Justice
Frankfurter said it was not COM

tiSts." end OF quote.
The testimony. which has been
fully developed under the plead
ings of each side in this case,
as directed by the majority
opinion of the Circuit Court OF
Appeals. shows unmistakenly
that competent teachers equal
school facilities, and text books,
and all sorts Of school para
phernalia are furnished to both
the white and colored schools
and pupils. and so the sole ques-
ton for the determination OF
this court Of equity is whether
the keeping apart Of the two
races is a deprivation OF any
constitutional right. There is no
complaint against the colored
teachers. though we might quite
appropriately inquire what Gould
become Of the colored teachers Il
and when the colored students
are taken away from them. Is
II possible or probable that the
colored teachers would be hired
