NEW YORK - Mrs. Constance
Baker Motley, NAACP Legal De-
fense and Educational Fund AS
sociate Counsel, hailed today's U.
S. Supreme Court ruling outlawing
racial segregation in the Memphis
airport terminal.
Mrs. Motley, who argued the
case before the high Court on Feb
ruary 27, said today's decision
established a precedent for end
ing segregation in other airports
around the country" She noted
that similar airport terminal suits
are pending in New Orleas, La.
Jackson, Miss, Mobile, Ala. and
Tampa, Fla.
The Supreme Courts ruling re-
verSed the action of a Judge
federal court in Memphis which
refused to rule on the merits of
the case on January %, 1861.
The lower court had held that
Mr.. Jesse Turner, the plaintiff,
who is a noted Memphis Negro
businessman, should bring an ac-
ton in Tennessee courts for con-
struction of the statewide regula-
ton permitting segregation which
was promulgated by the Tennessee
Department of Hotel and Restau-
rant Inspection
In today's ruling, the Supreme
Court held that it had settled be-
yond question that segregated
transportation facilities are un-
constitutional, as it did last month
in the Jackson, Miss. Freedom
Rider case.
The DObbS Houses restaurant at
the Memphis Airport refused serv-
ices to Deputy Assistant Secre'
tary of State Carl Rowan in Jan
uary causing a national incident
Mrs. Motley also hailed the Mar.
% ruling of the Court of Appeals
forthe Sixth Circuit in the Mem
phis school desegregation case.
The Court of Appeals in Cincin-
natl ruled that the Tennessee Pupil
Assignment Law of 1857 does not
follow the Supreme Courts deseg-
regation decision of 1854 and or
dered the Memphis school board
to "adopt some realistic plan for
the organization of their schools
on a non-racial basis"
Mrs. Motley called this decision
"a step forward in the school seq
regation controversy"
MANY school boards have main
tanned that their pupil assign
ment plans fall under the Brown
decision of 1854, since any Negro
aggrieved by his assignment could
apply for transfer to white school.
The Court of Appeals ruled that
under Brown you can't have white

zen from the rights guaran-
teed by the Constitution on
the grounds of racial charac-
teristics. This has infuriated
Putnam.
Because scientists in all
fields test any and all ideas
which held promise of success,
whether in the search for a
new weapon or for a cure of
cancer of the body or the
mind, many old theories and
dogmas have been made OBJ
Solete during recent times.
The theory of inherent racial
superiority and inferiority is
one of these, but since this
has robbed the raciSts of their
most potent weapon, periodic
attempts are made to resur-
rect the corpse, particularly
where race is made subServi-
ant to politics.
Putnam, therefore, has been
welcomed by southern raciStS
as a Moses who have brought
them new set of tablets
with magic formula with
which to fight the ignorant
north on the race issue. The
governor of Alabama granted
$4,000 for an impartial" study
in support of Putnam's race
theories and in Louisiana the
book is recommended as a
textbook to prepare students
for their duties as citizens.
History, from Xerxes to
Hitler, contains many names
of cranks who seem to share
a common trait, though some
were stupid, like Pittman,
while others were talented,
were paranoiacs. The main
symptoms of paranoic are
delusions of various kinds.
Once their minds are fixed
on an idea the cranks main
tain that only they are right
and all others are out of step.
This often leads to a persecu-
ton complex which may be-
come both silly and danger
Gus. Xerxes flogged the Helles-
pont, Hitler built gas ovens.
Paranoiacs often think of their
operations as a holy crusade
with truth, justice and God
on their side. AS an example,
a crank author of a book de-
claring the world was flat,
stated in 1881: "To me truth
is precious. l would rather
stand alone and be right than
run with the multitude and be
wrong
ParanoiacS also have a tend
ency to form their own or
ganizations and followers, like
the college of Universal Wis
dom,'' and thus find and out
let for speeches and publica-
tions which learned societies
will not sponsor. Some even
turn these into a means of
profit, financially speaking.
This enables the organizer to
not only propagate his own

ideas, but to launch vicious
attacks against their critics.
Putnam, a self-declared lay
man, insists that his racial
theories are correct, against
the overwhelming professional
opinion to the contrary. He
angry with all who
disagree with him, but his
main attack is upon the an
thropological profession who,
directly or by association, is
accused of being a political
conspiracy which has perverted
whole generation of Ameri-
can students, mainly through
Jewish control. While he beg
us to be faithful to the Found
ing Fathers, who declared
that mo state shall make or
enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or inn
munities of. Citizens of the
United States he becomes
highly idignant with a judici-
ary which says the Constitu-
ton means what it says.
The Clergy is not exempt
from his anger. While a crime
is being committed against
white children in desegregated
schools, according to Putnam,
the clergy is hiding behind
the skirts of religion and
passing the buck to God
His greatest contempt, how
ever, seems to be reserved
for the millions of Americans
whose conscience lead them
tolerance and understanding.
To them he would say: "You
nation of sheep! Have you no
minds of your own? How much
longer must we (the racists)
be offered up on the altar of
your gullibility?"
At the Jackson dinner, Put
nam urged the more than
500 patriots" present to pre-
pare themself for renewed
fight on the race issue against
the north and its newspapers,
magazines, radio and televi-
sion. and all others who hold
the perveted view of environ
meetal influences. He con-
cluded by quoting George
Washington: "The event is in
the hands of God.
Perhaps God would like some
help from good citizens every
where.

SponSible scientists who face the
The expose of the Anti-Com-
munist fiasco in the Goldwater
basement by the Journal, Mar.
18th, demonstrates how other
wise we'll meaning people may
be duped by crankS and the
need for careful judgement in
speech and action in making
moral and political pronounce
ments.
Pittman, OF course, belongs
to the crude and ignorant seq
ment of American racists, but
there are also raciStS who
command greater respect be-
cause of attainmentS in the
field of business. profession or
even academic scholarship. If
not carefully scrutinized this
type may be vastly more dam
gerous to our social order than
the common rabble-rouSer.
AS a current example l call
your attention to Carlton Put
nam. whose best seller RACE
AND REASON, A YANKEE
VIEW, has become the new
Bible among southern racists.
Putnam's thesis, in brief, is
that the Negroes, as a race,
suffer from certain genetie
handicaps which make them
less human than the rest of
us and prevent them from
being admitted to full citizen
ship.
Although he admits there are
such things as envirOnmental
influences, Putnam treats
them as inventions of the devil
and a group Of Jewish anthro-
biologists of the socialistic per-
suasion. His theory relegates
the Marian Anders0ns, the
Carvers, the Ralph Bunches
and the Percy Julians, among
many more, to the category
of genetic freaks. Our Negro
Olympic winners must offend
him as much as they did the
Nazi Super-raciSt.
Putnam makes no clam to
being an anthropologiSt, but
has made a study of some of
the voluminouS literature on
this subject and selected there
from items which semantical-
ly can be used to support his
opinions. The foreword to this
book is written by four known
raclStS, including a pSychOlO-
gist and a professor of anato-
my which, of course, adds dig
nifty to Putnam'S race theories.
None of these men, incidently,
can be found listed among
some $500 members of the
American AnthropOlogical AS
sOciation.
At a recent meeting of 1872
prof eS Sional anthrOpO-
logists from this association
took cognizance of the danger
involved in unsubstantiated
racial propaganda and passed
a resolution to the effect that
there is, SO far, no scientifical-
ly established evidence to JUS
tify the exclusion of any citi

For Welfare

The Citizens Committee on
Public Welfare has launched a
study of how the District can
take advantage of the new
Federal welfare program.
The special committee was
set up by Commissioner John
B. Duncan to help solve relief
problems here. Relief has been
in the headlines since Senator
Byrd, Democrat of West Vir-
ginia, chairman of the Senate

committee, raised the question
of cheaters on the rolls in
hearings last August.

plore the impact of both ad-
ministrative changes made by

fore CONGRESS.
The administration program
accents eventual self = support
for relief recipients. One fea-
ture of a bill that has already
passed the House would help
states provide day care for
children of working mothers.

Crusade Eyes
Election Role

The Rev. Billy James Hargis,
Tulsa (Okla) radio evangelist,
said today conservative anti
Communist groups to seek con-
certed action on programs, in
GLIDING the election of conServ-
atives to Congress.
Mr.. Hargis, who heads the
Christian Crusade, told a news
conference this was one of the
decisions made at a closed
meeting of conservatives he
sponsored at the Washington
Hotal last night.
He said the formation of a
third party was discouraged in
favor Of supporting conserva-
tives of either the Democratic
or Republican Party.
Mr.. HargiS said more than
100 persons who attended the
meeting, representing IS or
CARNATIONS, also decided to in
spire a letter-writing campaign
directed at Attorney General
Robert Kennedy asking him to
enforce the laws on commu-
nism, including registration of
Communists. He placed the
letter-writing goal at 100000.
Mr.. Hargis said a fiye-man
steering committee was APP
proved to arrange for the
Washington meetings, with the
next one scheduled for June.
Attendance at the meetings, as
at the one last night, will be
by invitation only, he said.
Mr.. Hargis said the next
meeting will undertake to OBJ
tain a broad representation
from conservative members Of
Congress. He said only two
members of Congress, Repre-
sentatives Rousselot of Califor-
mia and Berry of South Dakota,
Republicans, attended last
nights meeting.
Mr.. Hargis identified some
Of the organizations which sent
representatives to last nights
meeting as the Daughters of
the American Revolution, We
the People, John Birch Society,
the American Society of Physi-
clans and Surgeons, American
Legion, American Coalition of
Patriotic Societies, American
Free Enterprise Association,
Right to Work National Com
mittee and Young Americans
for Freedom.
A group of newsmen were Or
dered to leave the ninth floor
of the hotel by police at the
request of DR.. Hargis' Christian
Crusade, as were four members
of the American NaZi Party who
apparently regard the young
conservative as too liberal.

entrance to the hall were elab-
crate.

two wounds, Pvt. Timmons
fired again, this time striking
Hall, who fell dead to the
ground from behind the tree.
The policeman then radioed for
help and began to administer
first aid to himself.
Hall was pronounced dead on
arrival at District General Hos
pital.
At the inquest, it was noted
that Hall had a record of men,
tai illness and had left his
home in the 200 block of P
steeet NV. with the intention
of killing or being killed.
The Awards Committee said
Pvt. Timmons' encounter with
Hall may have prevented death
or serious injury to innocent
citizens and commended his de-
votion to duty.

 The government has not com mented on the rally sponsored by the Keep-the-Doctors Committee. But Prime Minister Woodrow Lloyd has asked residents to avoid demonstrations.
 A spokesman for the doctors said they wanted citizens support but did not seek violence.
 Most of the provinces 700 practicing physicians have refused to work under the act since it came into force July 1. About 200 doc tors are providing emergency service at 35 designated hospitals.
 The act is designed to provide medical care for everyone, to be paid for by assessments of SIP year for single persons and S22 for families, and by general taxa tiOn. There is freedom of choice in doctors but the doctors must accept state-regulated fees from the government.

 Tt is gift to the Congress, jubilantly exclaimed Pravda's po- litical commentator, Georgi Zhu kov, as he got the news. Commu- hist propaganda organs and dele gates set out to exploit the test to the fullest..
 One after another, they eollared reporters or stepped to waiting microphones of radio Moscow to denounce American atom-mani- acs,' American criminals and American War-mongers.
 The Pacific test provided the means the organizers had hoped for to direct the delegates general izations about disarmament. and peace into straight anti-american channels.
 Purpose of the six-day Congress is to line up as much world public opinion as possible behind Soviet foreign policy especially in the dis armament field.
 Before the Congress ends, Pre- mier Khrushchev= will address the more than 1000 delegates assem. bled from 101 countries, 150 from the United States. Pravda saie Khrushehev will "dispel much 0 the fog generated by opponents 0 disarmament. ;

Telstar TV Relay Satellite to be
 Financed by Bell

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. R = Telstar, a communications relay satellite which represents private industry's first venture into space is to be launched Tuesday.
 Bell Telephone Laboratories of the American Telephone an d Telegraph Go. built the complex satellite, and will pay all costs in volving launching Telstar on a Thor-Delta rocket and tracking it's orbital flight. The cost is estimated at S3 million, which Bell is to pay even if the mission fails.
 If all goes well as planned, tele- vision viewers in America and Western Europe will see the first live trans atlantic television pro- grams within a week, with signals relayed by Telstar.
 The satellites planned orbit will range from 600 to $500 miles above the earth. With it's more than 15,00O partst, Telstar weighs TO pounds.
 Andover, Maine, which has send ing and receiving capability, and Holmdel, NJ., which will receive only, are the two principal US ground stations.
