President Truman can get out
his pencil and mark up a couple
of sure votes.
Mr. and Mrs.
Don Clark of
Billings, Mont.,

and his lovely
lady did. That
was the other
day when Don,
a legless vet-

at a reunion of survivors of the
aircraft carrier Hornet.

Supreme Court
Upholds Negroes in
Segregation Cases
Washington, June 6 (U.R)
The simreme court ruled in favor
of Negroes yesterday in three
separate cases involving segre
eation. The tribunal:
1. Ruled, 8 to 0 that Negroes
must be served the same as white
persons on railroad dining cars.
2. Ruled. 9 to 0. that the Uni-ver.-itv
of Texas law school must
admit a Negro student because
the st.'ite does not now give
Negro law students educational
opportunities equal to those en
joyed by white students.
Discrimination Ruled
3. Ruled. 9 to 0, that Okla
homa discriminates against
Negro students at its state uni
versity graduate school by seg
gregating them in classrooms and
elsewhere.
The court did not go into the
constitutionality of the issues In
volved. In the Texas case, it said
it saw no reason to re-examine
the 54-year-old doctrine of
"srnarale but equal" treatment
of Negroes.
Chief Justice Fred M. Vinson
said in the opinion on the Texas
case that a comparison of tiie
University of Texas law school
and the separate law school for
Negroes shows no "substantial
equality in the education op-
Sortunities offered white and
egro law students by the state."
Warfare on Job
Accidents Asked
Washington, June 6 (U.R)
President Truman called today
for an all-out fight against job
accidents which, he said, weaken
the nation in perilous times
In the opening address to his
Conference on Industrial Safety,
Mr. Truman pointed out that
industrial accidents took 13.000
lives and permanently disabled
79.000 workers last year. The
number of accidents actually was
down seven per cent the previous
year, but Mr. Truman said "we
can do better than that."
"In these times," he said, "we
cannot afford to be wasteful of
our national strength."
Mr Truman said the nation's
voice in world affairs can "never
be stronger than our national
economy." The strength of the
economy in turn, depends upon
our productive capacity.
"That is why it is more im
portant than ever for us to pre
vent the losses that result from
industrial accidents," the presi
dent said. "We cannot afford
wasted resources or wasted
lives."

"Take that guy, Truman," the
former sailor said. "He's a great
one. I was more nervous going
in to see him than I was when
the shower of steel hit the fan
off Truk.
"He volunteered to give me
an autographed picture, too. Just
happened to have it with him
Votes Pledged
"I wouldn't say we are exactly
republicans, but our two votes
next time are going for Truman.
Don is built of pretty stern
stuff. Although he hasn't enough
stubs left to wear artificial limbs
he doesn't consider it any handi
cap at all.
"Nobody is going to have to
carry me along," he said. "I ll
get by."
He lives a near-normal life
out in Billings. The Clarks have
two pretty daughters, both born
after he got out of service. There
is Jackie Lee, aged 4, and Donna
Lynn, who is just two months
old.
Don owns his own home. It's
a five-room log-house, the only
one of its kind in Billings. The
former sailor didn't build it; he
bought it after the war.
Clark is steadily employed
Having no legs, he naturally
works with his hands. He is busy
nine hours a day re-winding
electrical motors for the car
buretor and electric company in
his home town.
"That sounds like long hours,"
he said. "Maybe it is, but it keeps
me busy. It gives me something
to think about all day long the
prospect of getting home to that
fine family of mine.
Don is 50 doggone independent
that he doesn't even want any
body to drive him to work.
He drives himself in one of
those cars which amputees can
handle by hand.
