State Board of Health, advises
all persons to take the second
dose even though they may have
missed the first.
Co-sponsored by the Medical
Society Of Delaware, the Della
ware State Board of Health and
the National Foundation Chap
ters in Delaware, this "Wipe-
Out Polio" program will not be
repeated.
"The three scheduled doses
Of Sabin Oral Vaccine are Of
fered to the public well in ad-
vance Of the polio season." DR..
Hudson said. f'We strongly urge
that everyone from age three
months through forty years
make a special effort to take
the vaccine while it is being
offered in this mass immuni-
zation program. The life you
save from unnecessary crippling
or even death by getting the
Sabin Oral Vaccine now, may
well be that of your child, your
neighbor, or, in fact, your own"
he advised.
The second dose of the vac
cine will be given free of charge
this Thursday, March 28th, or
Friday, March 29th, at all Della
ware public, private and
parochial schools. Parents are
reminded that If their child
missed the first dose Of the
vaccine, he may still take the
second.

He defended equal voting

the United Nations. "In world

An investigation by the Colo
RADIO Anti Discrimination Com.
mission, a State body, found
that Green was fully qualified
for the position he had sought
and that Continental had failed
to hire solely because Of his
race.
The finding was appealed by
the airline, which claimed IN
exemption from the require
ments Of the Colorado fair en-
ployment law on the ground that
it was engaged in the interstate
transportation of passengers,
which can be regulated only by
the Federal government. The
Colorado Supreme Court sus-
tanned the airline's appeal, hold
ing that with reference to in
terstate carriers the regulation
of racial discrimination is a
matter in which there is a need
for national uniformity and
the state are without juris-
diction to act in that area"
In urging the Supreme Court
to override the Colorado deci-
sion, the three organizations set
forth these arguments in their
joint brief:
Since 1945, some 22
states have adopted laws con-
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1963-02-02

demning discrimination in en-
ployment. These laws have been
applied to interstate carriers for
over a decade without hamper
ing interstate transportation.
Congress has accepted
this situation and has not exer-
cised its power to remove this
area from regulation by the
various states.
Fair employment laws
are a conventional and widely
accepted exercise of the police
power of the safes, dealing with
"an evil known to have extern
sive harmful effects" The Fed
eral government has no counter
vailing interest that would re-
quire an exemption from the
law being granted to an inter-
state carrier.
"No national interest, no con-
stiutional principle, no decision
of this court requires that Con-
tinental Air Lines be given a
license to operate in defiance Of
the declared policy of Colo
rado," the joint brief declared.
Quoting a concurring opinion
by retired Justice Felix Frank
furter in a case in 1915, the
brief urged the high court to
support the Colorado policy un-
der which the State has "put it's
authority behind one of the
cherished aims of American
feeling by forbidding indulgence
in racial or religious prejudice
to another's hurt"
The brief was signed by:
Joseph B. Robinson, assistant
director of the American Jewish
Congress commission on law and
social action; Melvin L. Wuh,
legal director of the American
Civil Liberties Union; and Jack
Greenberg, general counsel Of
the NAACP Legal Defense and
Educational Fund.
