Howard Court Is Asked
To Order Segregation

ELLICOTT CITY, Md, Aug.
% (P.-Twenty-eight parents
yesterday petitioned the Howard
County Circuit Court to order
the County School Board to "es-
tablish and maintain separate
schools" for Negroes.
The suit is the same as one
filed August z in Anne Arundel
County by eight parents against
school officials there. The cases
are the first of their kind in
Maryland
The suit was filed for the
parents by George Washington
Williams, who sought the Demo-
cratic senatorial nomination on
a States rights platform last
spring, and was sponsored by
the Maryland Petition Commit
tee. Williams also is handling
the Anne Arundel County case.
Anne Arundel officials have
asked the State to defend them.
State Law Cited
The petition declares that
State law requires the board to
operate separate facilities for
Negro and white pupils. The
Supreme Courts decisions out
having segregation contain er-
rors lin both law and fact" it
said.
| A hearing on the petition was
set for September 81 in Howard
County Circuit Court.
Mr.. Williams gave these rea-
sons for challenging the Supreme
Court decisions:
l. The 14th Amendment, upon
which the decisions were partly
based. "was illegally proposed by
the Congress Gin 1866 because
of the forced absence of repre-
Sentatives of 10 Southern States
/ And was illegally proclaimed
and acted upon as having been
ratified by the requisite three
ifourths of the States to which
the same had been submitted. -
Purpose of Congress
| 2. Even if the 14th Amend
ment had been legally ratified
:. it does not appear from the
opinions of the court that due
consideration and respect or
value" was given to the purpose
of Congress in proposing the
amendment
3. This purpose could not have
supported racial indignation in
public schools because 1.-THE same
Congress that proposed the
amendment enacted a segrega-
ton school law for the District
of Columbia"
4. An examination of the his
tory of the amendment shows
that. if it had obviously provided
for indignation, lit would now bt

Welfare Recipients Get Raises
As Federal Aid Shows Increase

by the time this article goes
TO press, most welfare recipients
OF public assistance in the coun-
ty will have received their Oc-
tober checks and will have not
ed a slight increase in the u
mount. This increase results
from a change in the Federal
Formulate OF reimbursement tc
the states for their participation
IN the programs of old age as
Sistance, aid to the needy blind
aid to dependent children and
AID to the totally and perman-
emily disabled.
In order to cqualizc the bene-
mt of increased Federal funds
the State Department of Public
Welfare has increased the food
allowance for each person on a
percentage basis, and has also
increased maximum awards as
follows: Old age aSSiStance-in-
creased from $500 to $500
aid to the blind-increased from
$500 to $500: aid to the total
ly and permanently disabled -
increased from $500 to $4,000
aid to dependent children - in
creased from $4,000 for first
child to S27.00. from $500 for
each additional child to $500.
The family maximum of $4,000
for aid to dependent children
remains the same.

wishes to point out that the ba-
sis of increase is proportionate
and equitable, but because OF

Specialist
REMEMBER THIS
In planting tomatoes next
year, it might be well to re-
member this:
County Agent Johnson of
Beaufort tells me o. R. Bishop
of Frogmore increased his yield
of tomatoes over 100 bushels per
acre by soil fumigation before
planting.
| have seen remarkable re-
suits from it here at Clemson
too. specially on fall trucks. in
Guiding cantaloupcs.
Sol fumigation is very widely
used on tobacco lands. County
Agent King of Marion tells me
they use the fumigant by the
car load.
This treatment is principally
for the control of nematodes
(root knott that infeSt so much
of our lands. specially the lighter
ones. And most old home garden
plots are heavily infected. I have
seen some of these that had be-
come unproductive of many sus-
ceptiblc vegetables come back
with baundant crops of them af-
ter being properly treated.
Your county agent has the de-
tails for all of this. Soils should
be treated at least two weeks
before planting time.

be the same, even among recipi-
.ents of the same type of assist
'ance. For exampule. the increase
due adult recipients living alone
will not be the same as for
those living with n family group.
The greatest variation will occur
lamong recipients of aid to de-
pendent children. The increase
for mother and a child three
years of age might amount to
$3.50. whereas the increase for
a mother and II year old boy
might be $500. The number of
children. their ages and sex all
play a part in determining al
lowances. Therefore. if you are
"a recipient and your increase Isl
less than your neighbours please
do not ask for an adjustment. II
you are one of those persons
whom recipient feels can talk
to the Welfare" and get his
check raised, please explain to
him that he is receiving fair and
equal consideration.
During the month of Septemb-
err and October, your welfare
department will be undergoing
"a 80 1877 staff turnover. The

therefore solicited, as we strive
