Mr.. Wilkins spoke at a meeting

"These people exercised then

the face of threats of violence to
their persons. They turned deaf

"They are fhe dignified heroes

Calm in
tennessee

Here In Clinton, tennessee,
there is the manifestation of "a
strange calm; after the turbu-
lent storm following the adj
mittance of Negro pupils to
Clinton High School.
The National Guard has been
withdrawn, and extra policemen
and sheriff's deputies provides
a force that officials believe could
handle almost any situation. Ac-
tivities in the town are resuming
their normal trend.
However in move to curb
further outbreaks of violence in
Clinton, the Board of Mayor and
Alderme en- passed ordinances
placing a pm. curfew on all un-
der twenty-one's, prohibiting use
of loud-speakers without a permit,
and banning outdoor public as
sembly in the town.. 1t was EN-.
phasized that these ordinances
are emergency measures and will
be repealed or modified as soon
as the Board decides that the
present emergency has passed.
In detail the curfew ordinance
prohibits persons under twenty
one years of age to be on the
streets, roads, sidewalks and pub
lie thoroughfares of the Town OF
Clinton, Tennessee, or on any
other premises other than
where they reside, between 7 pm.
and 4 pm. However, it
makes exceptions lin case of ill
ness, injury, going to and from
work, stores, friends homes, the
movies, church services, school
programmes and athletic events,
or because of some special emer-
gency." The ordinance stipulates
that the burden of proof shall be
upon the person accused of the
violation. Each of the ordinances
carries a $5 to $50 fine for each
violation.
The loudspeaker ordinance and
the outdoor meeting ordinance
are similar in that both require
the issuance of a permit by the
City Recorder, with approval OF
the Board, forty-eight hours in adj
vance. The outdoor meeting or
dinance describes such a meeting
as "any group of people, consis-
ting Of ten or more persons"
Exceptions to the provisions OF
both ordinances are regular
school meetings, programmes and
athletic events; or regular church,
lodge or civic club pienics, fairs
and social gatherings The public
gathering further excepts social
gatherings held in the yard of a
private home"
Further legal action has been
instituted by the Tennessee Fed
Grafton for Constitutional Govern
ment in an effort to halt integra.
ton of Clinton High School. The
Federation asked the Tennessee
Supreme Court 10 rc-hear It's re-
quest for an injunction to halt the
use Of state funds in the operation
Of the school. The suit originally |
tiled was denied on the Grounds |
That the very action Il was re-
quested to stop, were ordered by |
Federal Court Judge Robert L.
Taylor OF Knoxville.

Yale Professor Tells Negro
Bar Group Decision is Not
Invasion of States Rights

Invasion OF States Rights
The Supreme Court decision
on desegregation was called "a
great and happy lesson in con-
stitutional democracy" yesterday
by Louis H. Pollak, Professor
of Law at Yale University.
Professor Pollak told 200 dele
gates to the National Bar Asso-
citation convention that although
the decision had come late It
proposed to correct our mis-
takes under the law" The assr
citation, a society Of Negro laN
yers, is holding its thirty-firs
annual convention at the New
Yorker Hotel. The meeting ends
today.
Professor Pollak said that
criticism of the school desegre-
cation decision as an invasion OF
states rights was the 'least rele-
want, most dangerous and most
fraudulent attack" of the three
major arguments raised against
il.
Every law must operate on
all alike" he declared. "These
rights were not states rights;
they were states wrongs"
The two other principal criti-
cisms, he said, were that the
court was performing an act OF
usurpation by making socio-
logical determination, and that
it had abandoned the doctrine OF
stare decisis, that is, that it had
gone counter to previous Su-
preme Court rulings.
On the first point he said the
decision was based on the find
ing that segregation itself was
damaging to education and af-
fected the motivation to learn"
AS for the doctrine of change
Professor Pollak said that earlier
decisions did not have the broad
base in public education used in
the current one and that the
Constitution was subject to
adaptation and improvement by
the Supreme Court. e
He urged lawyers to strength
en- the hand" of the local Federal
District Court judges and the
Supreme Court by emphasizing
at every opportunity the validity
and propriety of the Supreme
Courts decision.
u. S. Judge Supports Stand
Much the same position was
taken last night at a dinner OF
the association by Charles e.
Clark, Chief Judge of the United
States Court of Appeals, Second
District. He told the diners in
the Terrace Room of the hotel
that his duty, in an intermediate
court, was to administer the
law as determined by the SUI
preme Court"
"I am indeed surprised that so
usual, so ancient, co completely
supported principle is challeng-
ed" he said in what he termed
informal remarks to brother law
yers and associates representing
the Federal bar"
The segregation decision, he
added, has "no more legal signifi-
canoe today than it had 100
years ago"
He said: "In spite Of many
problems and difficulties the
state of liberty is much better
than it has been and shows
steady Improvement. At the
time of the Brown decision (the
Supreme Courts 1854 ruling a.
gainst segregation in public
schools) there were twenty-five
states that recognized segrega-
ton. There are now only eight
that do so officially"
Judge Clark is former dean OF
the Yale University Law School
Presiding at the dinner was
Judge Irwin C. Mollison of the
United States Customs Court.
Also included in the day ses-
sion was discussion of the re-
ciprocal obligations of the COM
and the lawyer by Mrs.
Ruth Whitehead Whaley, secre-
tary to the New York City Board
nf Estimate.
