Since the statute which gives Kansas cities the right to estab lish separate schools is being di rectly challenged in this suit, it is likely that the case will be heard by a three-judge Federal Court.| Rulings of a three-judge court may be appealed directly to the United States Supreme Court. The NAACP is asking the Court to issue a permanent injunction restraining the Topeka Board of Education from setting up separ ate schools for Negro and white children. Such segregation, the NAACP contends, denies Negro children ; educational opportunities equal to those of white children and thus; violates the Fourteenth Amend- j ment to the U. S. Constitution.! Two years ago, the NAACP won a similar case, ending segregation in the schools of Merriatn, Kan. Attorneys handling the Topeka case for the NAACP are Charles E. Bledsoe of Topeka and assist ant special counsel Robert L. Car ter and Jack Greenberg of the national office in New York. ip ■ ■ '■ m11' I B. O.
