which the Bishops of the Do

On the day Foreign Minister

The regular bulletin of the

Church authorities who have
decreed that the jesuit COM
mi nifty established in the Do
minican Republic is COM
pletely unrelated to the one
which has its headquarters
in Cuba
IN THEIR pastoral letter,
the Bishops declared that
they cannot remain indif-
ferent to the grievous blow
which has afflicted so many
Dominican homes" They
spelled out a list of individu-
al rights and said that they
are accompanied by "other
natural rights including
freedom of conscience, free
dom of the press and free
dom of assembly.
ANY VIOLATION of these
rights, the Bishops said, con-
stitutes "a grave offense
against God and the dignity
of man - made in the image
and likeness of his Creator
and brings about many and
irreparable evils in society"
THE PASTORAL quoted at
length from a speech made in
1947 by Pope Plus XII in
which the ate Pontiff declar-
ed that Liberty can flourish
only where justice and law
establish and assure effec-
lively respect for the dignity
of the people in every par
ticular."
On their own, the Bishops
asserted:
THE BASIS and founda-
lion of all positive law is the
inviolable dignity of the hu-
man person. Each human be-
ing boasts, even before his
birth of a heritage of prior
and higher laws than those
of any state. They are in
tangible laws whose free ex-
ercise no human power can
impede. Nor can it diminish
or restrain the scope of their
activity"
The Bishops spelled out the
"invioIable" rights to include
the right to life, to form a
family, to work, to trade, to
emigrate and the right to a
good reputation. They added:
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH,
universal mother Of all the
faithful. has been at all I ines
the most ardent and the most
long-suffering defender OF
these individual rights. Many
learned encyclicals have been
written on behalf Of these
rights. Her sons have s1ed
blood for them. She, like her
Founder, is always disposed
to give for them eloquent
"witness TO the truth"

addressed to the clergy and
call the faithful" In a sep

ordered all clergy and Re-
ligious to abstain from any

Beutnik Fined
In Tax Case

Beatnik William A. Walker
was fined $1O0 in Municipal
Court yesterday for failing to
file his December District sales
tax return for his Coffee m
Confusion Restaurant on time.
At the same time, Chief
Judge John Lewis Smith, jr.,
found Walter not guilty of fail
ing to pay his January tax by
the due date, after the Coffee
shops accountant personally
testified he mailed the check.
Walkers attorney, Harvey
Rosenberg, said taxes for both
months had been filed and that
the returns probably were lost
in the Finance Office.
After the trial, Walker said
the charge was only another
"harrassment" and that he was
involved only because he owns
the coffee shop at Tenth and K
streets NV. He said he leaves
his business affairs to his ac-
countant and to his attorney
and that he was not aware Of
any failure to comply with Dis
trict regulations.

have been released on bail. They
have been represented in most
cases by local attorneys. Mr.
Marshall and his staff will step
in when the cases reach the ap-
pealS stage.
They are working now on
strategy to protect sit-in DEM
onstrators from arrest and har-
assment by local authorities
while the boarder issues are
fought out in court. This prob
ably will involve going into
Federal court to seek injunc-
tions against arrest on grounds
that the constitutional rights
of the students are being vio-
lated.
Bail No Problems
Raising bail for those ar
rested has proved surprisingly
easy in most cases despite the
steep sums set by some local
judges-up to $1,000 in a few
instances. The reason, Mr..
Marshall said, is the strong
chord of sympathy struck by
the youthful demonstrators
with the normally conservative
element in the Negro COM
munity.
The ultra-conservative Negro
is normally the one with the
money" Mr.. Marshall said. In
almost every town, it has been
that guy who has come forward
with the bail"
The explanation, in his view,
is that the student demonstra-
tors are doing what the older

people would have liked to have
done-but didn't"
The NAACP guarantees the
bail, but has actually had to
put up only a small portion of
the money itself. The biggest
problem thus far, Mr.. Marshall
said, has been talking the stu
dents out of serving their jail
sentences without waiting for
an appeal.
They're all fired up and
want to stay in JAIL" he said.
They ask us, What's a year
in our lives?"
The students usually take q
different view after the attor-
neys explain that whatever the
merits of their case they will
end up as convicted criminals
with a lifetime blot on their
record unless they fight the
charges.
Guided School Fight
Mr.. Marshall guided the legal
assault on school segregation
which ended with the Supreme
Courts 1854 decision that seq
regation in public schools was
Unconstitutional. He filed the
NAACP's first challenge of the
separate but equal" doctrine
in 1888 while still a law stu
dent at Howard University. He
personally argued the key
school cases before the Supreme
Court 20 years later.
He insists the legal ground
for challenging segregate d
lunch counters is at least as
solid as that on which the
NAACP stood when it began
the long fight to topple Plessy
v. Ferguson, the 1896 decision
which permitted separate but
equal school facilities.
Lawyers Differ
Many lawyers disagree. The
right Of a merchant to refuse
service to whomever he pleases
generally has been upheld in
the lower courts. The principle
had been so we'll established
that even NAACP lawyers were
privately skeptical at the start
OF the sit-in demonstrations
that there were legal grounds
for enforcing integration at
lunch counters.
Mr.. Marshall acknowledged
after a Washington conference
with Southern civil rights
lawyers last month that the
student demonstrators were

The Negro integration leader
from Atlanta, Ga, addressed a
cheering audience of 1000
Negroes and a scattering of
white persons in the gym at

at Nashville.
The audience was evacuated

received at police headquarters.

men had completed their
search of the building without
finding any explosive.
Dissatisfaction Clear"
He said the sit-in movement
has made it absolutely clear
that the Negro is not satisfied
with segregation" despite claims
to the contrary by Southern
white leaders for many years
The bomb-threat incident
occurred the day after a dyna-
mite blast shattered the home
OF z. Alexander LOBBY, a Nash
vile city councilman and law
yer who has defended several
students arrested in sitdown
demonstrations. Mr. LOBBY and
his wife escaped injury.
The dynamiting led the

hover at Augusta, Ga, asking
him to visit the Tennessee city

Meanwhile, sitdown demon
strations spread to Beaumont,
Tex, for the first time, and
there were court action and
scattered demonstrations in
other parts of the South.
Thirteen Negro goods and nine
youths from bamar Tech Col
lege, an integrated State edu-
cational institution, demon
strated at two downtown Beau
mont lunch counters.
Police said a white minister
who drove several of the stu
dents to the sit-ins was ar
rested. Officers at first booked
the Rev. w. D. Simpson for in

Now Mr.. Marshall states his
position confidently:

the public it means it is open
to everybody-without discrim-
ination. If it sells pins and
needles to a Negro at one
counter, it can't keep him from

Trespass Issue
The last point may be the
strongest in the NAACP case.

tors have been arrested under
trespass statutes. New laws
have been passed in several
areas to stiffen penalties. Some

is needed in fact.
In their headquarters, Chief
Counsel Thurgood Marshall and
a staff of five other attorneys
are boning up on the fine legal
points which underpin the ar
guments they will advance in
court.
The NAACP has said it will
take the case of every arrested
demonstrator to the Supreme
Court, if necessary. The battles
will be fought on largely un-
charted ground. The Sit-ins
have raised several issues never
clearly resolved by the high
court.
To Fight "Selectivity"
NAACP lawyers will argue
that a store which permits
Negroes to shop in other de-
partments has no legal right
to bar them from a lunch coun-
ter. They also will contend that
local laws may not be used to
enforce discriminatory prac-
tices, whatever the rights of
stores owners. In cases where
State or local statutes require
segregation, these laws will be
attacked directly as unconsti-
tutional.
