Supreme Court Decision On Equal Rights For Negroes Not Final Answer To Race Issue By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON UP It may be some time maybe years before all the southern states fall in line with the supreme court's decision on equal higher education for Negroes. What the court said in effect was this: When a state supports a school of higner education for whites, like the graduate school of a state university, it must: 1. Admit Negiuen, so they'll get equal-education, or 2. Provide a school equally good for Negroes. But in the end the court, not the state, will decide what's equal., . When it handed down that de- $v COMFORT h 72m' CONVENIENCE ECONOMY OLYMPIC HOTEL ana TitlM cision, the court was speaking only to the state of Texas, or, rather, to the law school of the University of iexas. Docs that mean the other south ern states must immediately start admitting Negroes to their state- supported schools of higher educa tion or immediately start building equally good ones for Negroes? Not necessarily. Louisiana, for Instance, could refuse to let Negro into its state medical school and still not be in contempt of the supreme court. Why? Because the court addressed its opinion to Texas, not to Louisiana But if Texas, refused now, it would be in contempt. Suppose now Louisiana refuses to do what the supreme court said Texas must do. Then almost surely in Louisiana or any other southern state which refused, a Negro could start a court fight, backed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. When that case reached the su preme court, it's reasonable to be lieve the decision about equal treatment for Negroes would be the announcing ...

(Paul Jenkins photo). same, or similar to, the decision the court gave in the Texas case. Why? Because the court in its ruling definitely said how it feels on the subject of equal education for Negroes. It repeatedly has said this. Court Unanimous And there's another reason why the south can't expect the present court to take a view very different in the future on a similar case. It's this: The opinion in the Texas case was unanimous. All nine jus tices agreed. If a batch of the present nine justices died in the next few years or resigned and were succeeded by justices with different views, then some future decision might be different. But these present justices seem healthy enough to live a good while STEAK SAUCE Us It itroigSt good!

So, it would seem, the most the other states could do is to delay following the decision laid down for Texas. Some years might be used up in doing that, because of me court tignts. Such delayi in other fields have happened many times. But you can be sure Negroes will fight this through everywhere, even though it takes years, just as they have been fighting for years in other fields to win through supreme court decisions. The court, through its decision. has driven deeper its wedge into the power of a southern state to deny Negroes higher education or to segregate them while giving them equal education. Remember: The decision was on higher education only. The court said notning about high schools or grammar schools. Hungary's New Lutheran Bishop Favors Red Rule BUDAPEST, Hungary, June IS P) Hungary's largest diocese of the Lutheran church has a new bishop who favors cooperation with the country's Communist-led gov ernment. The new prelate, the Rev. Laszlo Dezsery. 36. succeeds former Bish op Lajos Ordass. Ordass last month was released from prison after ser ving almost 20 months of a two year sentence for currency specu lation. He had been removed from office by a special church court on April 2. (Both Ordass' conviction and his removal from office were protested by the Lutheran world federation, He was convicted of failing to re port a $500,000 gift from U.S. Lu therans. The lederation said tne gift amounted to $200,000, that it was transmitted through the Hun garian national bank, and that it thus became a matter of record.) Dezsery in 1948 attacked Josef Cardinal Mindszenty, head oi nun earv s Roman Catholic nierarcny as a representative of "royalist, feudal absolutism." Mindszenty now is serving a life sentence for treason. The new Lutheran bishop, one of the youngest ever to hold such of fice in Hungary, in a 30-page "open letter" in 1948 urged his church to seek conciliation with the country's Communist-led government. It was considered apparent here that he had been named to succeed Ordass because of the views expressed in the widely circulated pamphlet. In the tract Dezsery said after the war Lutheran pastors "became the slaves of reactionary masses." The church, he warned, must rec ognize that "we are in a socialist revolution, a world phenomenon which cannot be fought with arms." Hungary's Lutheran church num bers about 500,000 members, or approximately six percent of the population. The Roman Catholic followers number about 65 percent.

June 13 Official investigations were tauncnea today in to a fishing boat trigeuy mat Claimed tour lives in the ocean swells off Santa Cata lina island. Twenty men were aboard the ill fated cruiser, Signal Hill, when she stood out of Los Angeles har bor Saturday on a 'fishing excur sion. By nightfall, navy planes. coast guard cutters and a freight er had joined in a two-hour rescue effort during which 16 of the men were saved. Four of the men, including the skipper of the 42-foot converted landing craft, became separated from tne others and were drowned. The gay narty of Paramount Steel Co. employes, who chartered tne crait lor a day ot offshore fish ing, had less than two minutes notice that the Signal Hill was go ing aown. Alvis Ottele, 66, the only crew man aboard, said the passengers had crowded to the leeward side of the boat to avoid beinc simple by the spray.

Persona nongrata means a per son that is not acceptable. There was no move to restrict Hawley's privileges and no request tor him to leave Japan. Hwley said he was told head quarters considers his reports on Japan and the occupation " subjec tive and not objective. Hawley said Major Gen. E, M. Almond, MacArthur's chief of staff, told him on June 8 a careful study of his dispatches by headquarters proved his opposition to Com"1" nism. So it was difficult for head quarters therefore to understand why he could "criticize MacAr thur's administration." The Times man said Almond told him "no accredited corres pondent should publish any news likely to interfere with MacArthur's objectives. Those who do so might be considered security risks." Hawley said Almond informed him that any correspondent could be expelled as a "security risk." Hawley said he was advised by a MacArthur aide six months ago that the general objected to some of his dispatches because of cer tain "inaccuracies." Hawlev said he never has been able to deter mine what MacArthur deemed "inaccurate." The incident apparently arose out of a Hawley dispatch which said a Japanese ban on demon strations was unconstitutional and which said Japanese police had asked to return to occupation autnorities tne pistols given them by the Americans some time ago.
