New York - NAACP Legal De-
fense Fund attorneys challenged
this week a "stair-step' plan for
school desegregatiOn which was
instituted last January in David
son County, Tenn.
In an appeal brief to the U. S,
Court of Appeals for the Sixth
Circuit filed August 18, Legal De-
fense Fund attorneys claim that
the Davidson Dounty plan violates
the personal and present rights
of Negro children who are too old
to come under it's provisions.
If the appeal is successful, it
will mark major break through
against "stair-step" or "grade-a-
year" plans which have been ap-
proved by federal courts in other
cities such as Knoxville and Nash
vile, Tenn. The Legal Defense
Fund attorneys are asking for a
ruling similar to one made by the
Court of Appeals for the Third
Circuit last August when it reject
ed a 'grade-a-year" plan for the
state of Delaware.
The current appeal is from a

Catholic Bishop Urges Racial Justice

this challenge of the cross. 7"
Ever since Christ, the Son of
God made Man, died upon it for
men of all races and nations he
declared, "the Cross has stood for
the fulness of love for God and for
neighbor We invite all to hold high
this cross by a Christian and un-
segregated love- .
The question of racial justice and
charity is a religious question, the
Bishop declared. "Only the teach
.ings of Christ accepted and lived
can create neighborhoods built up
on mutual respect for those who
differ from us in race, religion or
nationality.
"(D All men are created by God
to His image and likeness. Before
God we of every race are equal In
our fundamental rights and duties.
Catholics accept this Divine plan
by granting equality of rights and
opportunity to all men of what
ever race or nation.
(2) Christ died upon the Cross
as the Saviour of all men. Cath
olics will not limit this love of
Christ only to those of one color.
"(3) Christ has called us all to
spiritual unity in His Mystical
Body, the Catholic Church, in
which there is neither Jew nor
Gentle, neither white nor black,
but in which all are to be one in
Christ our Head. Catholics a r e
called upon to hasten the day of
this full spiritual unity by their
present-day support of racial JUS
tice and charity"

Interstate Travel Law Change Urged

tinued, eff such regulations are

minently displayed, the public will
be on notice that the Negro pass
engers are free to use the facili-
ties in question. This will 60 far

for exercise of this right by Ne
groes and should promote peace
and order in interstate transpor-
tation."
Despite Supreme Court decisions
and ICC rulings, discrimination
has continued in certain southern
states, Mr.. Pohlhaus asserted. He
cited 18 complaints received by
the NAACP involving at least 25
persons. "These complaints have
a wide geographical distribution:

lima, and one each from Texas,

that only firm comprehensive
