Supreme Court Asked to Hold Special
Session 10 Review LemIey's Bias Order

Attorneys for the Negro STU
dents at Central high school Fri
day asked the U. S. Supreme
Court to hold a special session
to review District Judge Harry
J. Lemley's order of June 20
suspending indignation at the
school.
The request for the special
session was made in a petition
filed Friday with the high court
by Thurgood Marshall and Wiley
A. Branton, attorneys for the
Negro children. They seek I'M
mediate reversal of Judge Lem
ley's suspension order.
In their petition, the attorneys
charge that Judge Lemley erred
in ruling that hostile incidents
and community opposition were
sufficient cause to postpone de-
segregation Of the Little Rock
public schools until 1861.
They raised the question as to
whether the Little Rock integra-
ton plan, which was approved
BY a district court, a circuit
court of appeals and in opera
ton for year. can be suspend
ed solely upon showing Of
certain hostile Incidents and op-
position of the local public to
the Supreme Court decisions in
the school segregation cases.
The petition requested the fol-
lowing relief:

The United States Supreme
Court Monday refused to bypass
the U. S. Court in st. Louis and
rule directly on Federal Judge
Harry Lemley's order suspend
ing indignation at Central HI
school for thirty months.
Thurgood Marshall and Wiley
Branton, attorneys for the Ne
gro children in the case, had
asked the Court to hold a spec
iaI session and give a speedy
ruling. The attorneys asked the
High court to override Lemley's
order blocking the seven Negro
ehildren's right to attend the in
tegrated school here in Little
Rock.
Lemley's ruling, if allowed to
stand will deny the children the
the right to continue their edit
cation at Central, and Is inter
preted as preventing other Ne
groes from ever attending the
school on an integrated basis.
The Supreme Court, in
two page printed unsigned
opinion said the justices "have
no doubt that the court Of APP
peals Tin st. Louis will reeog-
nize the vital importance Of
the time element in this lltiga-
ton, and that it will act upon
the application for a stay of the
appeal in ample time to permit
arrangements to be made for the
next school year.

Supreme Court Leaves.
Rights of Negroes
Remain at CHS
With Circuit Court

The opinion which was read
from the bench by Chief Justice
Warren. gave some faetual back
ground on Little Rock and then
said that the special request
made to the supreme court ask
ed it to use a power which has
been used but rarely.
Lemley said in hts ruling on
June q that, in the public in
terest including the interest OF
both Negro and white students,
Central hi should have breath
ing spell from indignation.
Attorneys for the children
first appealed to the U. S. cir
cult court in st. Louis to stay
Lemley's order, and to review
and overturn his decision No ac-
ton has been taken by the cir
cult court and attorneys asked
the Supreme Court to take
emergency action to assure that
Negro students may enter Cen
trail in September.
The attorneys asked that the
high tribunal permit a bypassing
of the circuit court SO that a
quick and final decision could
be had. Branton who filed the
request for the writ Of eertiorari
with the U. S. court, said two
matters are still pending be-
fore the 9th circuit court of ap-
peals."
1--WE have filed motion ask
ing the appellate court to stay
Judge Lemley's delay decision
and have also filed an appeal
from that decision on the merits
of the case" Branton said.

LenIey's Decision
Gets Criticized
By AkEz PreIate

YOUNGSTOWN, O.-Bishop S.
G.. Spottswood, Washington, D..
c. chairman, board of bishops. A
ME Zion church, said here Sum-
day that the fact is that U. S.
District Judge Harry J. Lemley
did not hurt the cause of de-
segregation when he granted
Central high school, Little Rock,
Ark, breathing spell.
The prelate had the following
to say, "The granting of a
breathing spell by Judge Lem
ley yesterday, in my opinion, is
another feeble gesture toward
the dying monster of discrimin-
alton. We have had fairly long
breathing spell for the 95 years
since the Emancipation Procla-
nation. The Supreme Court has
spoken-Democracy hangs in the
balance around the world and II
we do not fulfill the Courts in
depreciation of constitutional de-
segregation, of our public school
system, we may lose the fight
to retain the balance of power,
in the battle of Democracy YER
sus Communism"
The bishop has long since been
in the forefront in the battle for
first class citizenship for all the
peoples of America and has been
outspoken against the evils that
minorities have had to endure.
He is a member of the Execu-
tive Committee of the NAACP
and has represented the militant
organization on many occasions.

disposition SO great that this
Court should:
IL Advance the date on which
respondents are required to file
their brief in opposition.
%. Grant the writ Of eertiorari
before judgment by the Court
Of Appeals.
%. Either extend the present
term Of Court or order special
term Of Court to be convened
pursuant to Rule to hear argu-
ments and dispose of the case.
"a. Reverse the judgment"
1t was pointed out, however,
that in 1913 years the Supreme
Court has held special sessions
only three times. The attorneys,
nevertheless, are hopeful that the
high court will review and rule
on the case before the 1958-59
school term in order that the
remaining seven Negro students
at Central high school can re-
turn in September.

ACLU Urges FILA
TO Withhold Funds
In Jimcro Housing

All federal housing aid should
be denied Immediately to any
builder who practices racial dis
elimination in the sale of hons-
ing. the American Civil Liber-
ties Union told the Federal Hous-
ing Administration Friday. Re-
ferring to William Levitt's plans
to build a $4,000 home Levitt
town in Burlington county, N.
J., the ACLU declared, the
threat of the creation of a new,
segregated city in New Jersey
seems to us to provide a fitting
occasion for fortnight ac-
ton by the Administration"
Levitt has publicly stated that
his new project will be for
whites only.
The proposal was made in
letter from Patrick Murphy Ma
lin, ACLU executive director, to
Norman p Mason, commissions
er of the Federal Housing Adj
ministration in Washington. Ma
lin expressed qualification at Ma
sons recent announcement that
the FILA is prepared to withhold
any further mortgage insurance
commitments for the new Levitt
town if it appears that the pro-
ieet is in violation of New Jer-
sey's INSTRUMENTATION law,
However, said Malin, 1T seems
to us that FILA assistance should
be denied to any builder who
discriminates in the sale of
property, whether or not such
discrimination violates state
law.
In our opinion Malin added,
'the Federal Housing Authority
has ample authority now to de-
nv federal benefits, direct or in
direct, to such builders
The ACLU said it was blot
on our national record that
minorities are still being taxed
to provide housing funds, the
benefits of which are not avail
able to all citizens equally and
impartially without regard to
race"
