Provide “Higher” Negro Education Dixie State Speeds Up Plans to SUPREME COl’RT RULING IN GAINES CASE CAUSE OF ACTIVITY MISSOURI, TEXAS & NORTH CAROLINA TO ESTABLISH GRADUATE COURSES AT NEGRO COLLEGES St Louis, Mo. Aug. 3 (ANP)— Ttecent activity on the part of the board of curators at Lincoln uni versity to expand that school's facilities and start post graduate coun-es at the coming fall term, has found an echo in various other states of the South. Stem of the present activity South is the supreme court ruling of last Dec. 8 which ordered the University cf Missouri to admit Law Student Lloyd Gaines to its classes or “provide equal educa tional facilities within the state.” The state legislature appropriated $200,000 for graduate and pro fessional study at Li. ncoln univer sity, whose board, headed by President Sheiman D. Scruggs, is trying to have the school of law ready to admit students on Sept. 1 In Austin, Texas, fortnight ago, the legislature appropriated $50, 000 for the next two years for graduate and professional cour ses for colored students. In addi tion to this an additional grant of $200,000 was made to Prairie View col leg for graduate work. Both grants will be used to pro vide scholarships to Negro stu dents for out-of-state study until the state can conform with the sprene court ruling. Dr. Thomas K. Currie and Dr. R. T. Hamilton, prominent Texans, were largely responsible for geting favorable action on the scholarship grants in the legislature.

Taylor, Prop. 2407 Lake St. “While we realize that this is ' ^ juist a temporary expedient and does not conform to the supreme court decision, still it is unfair to the hundreds of Texas stu dents and teachers to force the continuation of the additional cost of graduate and professional i study. Our task new is to work out a plan so that we can help Prairie View State college and President Banks* fine corps of teacheis to add a real graduate course to the institution and pre pare the way for such profes sional courses in medicine, law,' 1 dentistry, pharmacy, engineering, and other much-needed lines." La>t week in Durham, N. C. it was announced that Duke univer sity and the University of North I Carolina will furnish m any of the teachers for the North Carolina college for Negroes when the lat ter opens its classes for gradu ate students in September. The stato legislature authorized the Negro college to givj graduate courser! and appropriated $14,000 for that purpose. The liberal arts school w*.ll be the first opened under the new program. Famous white instructors who have been engaged to teach at North Carolina college to give graduates courses and appropria ted $14,000 for that purpose. The liberal arts school will be the first opened under the new pro gram. Famous white instructors who have been engaged to teach at North Carolina college for Ne groes include the following: Dr. I Edgpr W, Knight, Dr. A. M. Jor dan and Dr. H. R. Douglass, school of education; Dr. Hugh T. Lefler, Dr. A. R. Newsome and Dr. F. M. Green, department of history; Dr. W, W. Pierson, poli tical science; Dr. Calvin B. Hoo ver, dean of Duke university’s graduate school of arts and scien ces and several others of pro minence. While Negro citizens n North Carolina and Texas seem to be accepting the gesture of their state legislatures and education graduate , study on a separate basis, the racial leaders in Mis souri where the Gaines case had its inception are sternly opposed to any separate arrangement. Despite the fact that the Miss ouri legislature appropriated $200,000 for Lincoln university’s graduate work program, Mis sourians contend that it will re quire huge sums, vast equipment and many years before “equal" education can be achieved in their separate state college. The Show Me state residents point out that the supreme court de cision required the state of Mis souri to provide equal accomo dations and this can be done only by admitting students to the University of Missouri's profes sional anl graduate schools. In the meantime, officials at Lin coln university are proceeding with the program ordered by the state superintendent of educa tion. Other Southern states are watching developments. Recently five Southern state universities in Washington, the presidents of met with a group of Negro edu cators at Howard university in an effort to discover some solu tion iV»r If.he problem, stating frankly that their states could not support an adequate gradu ate school program, but that neither would conditions peivnit the entry of Negro students. The conference broke up without any definite agreement of policy being reached, “IT PAYS TO LOOK WELL” MAYO’S BARBER SHOP Ladies and Children’s Work A Specialty —2422 Lake street_ Thrifty Service 6 lbs. for 48c 7c EACH ADDITIONAL LB. “6'/2c ON WEDS.” ALL FLAT WORK BEAUTIFULLY IRONED.

National and International Prob . .lems Inseparable from Local Welfare When the monopoly Investigat ing committee (whose official name is the Temporary National Economic Committee- was author ized by Congress, business regard ed it with mild misgivings, but was not particularly worried a bout what it might do. Some businessmen felt it might achieve some real good by ferreting out combinations in restraint of trade and, failing that, .that it would at least dig up factual information of possible value. Today businessmen are watching the committee at work with hon est trepidation. For they are coming to conclude, the real pur pose of the monoply inquiry, isn’t to reveal monopoly, if and where it does exist. There is fear that, instead, the real purpose is to subtlely pave the way for an al most revolutionary extension of Federal control over the economic1 affairs of the American people. Businessmen aren’t alone in this view. Various newspapers, econ omists and publicists have lately come to share it writh them. Typical opinion came recently from hard-hitting Hugh Johnson cf NRA fame, now a leading col umnist. In General Johnson’s view, those behind the monopoly show have a purpose “as revolu tionary as Hitler’s, and they are making as excellent use of their puppets on that committee and the general indifference of the people of the United States as the European tbtalarians ever did, to lay the ground for a nazi fascist Federal control of almost every normal activity of American life —whether in labor, agriculture or industry.” Those are strong words, but re cent hearings of the committee seem to more or less justify them. Tremendous interest has followed the committee’s inqairy into the life insurance business. Compar atively little attention was paid to whether these insurance comp anies do or do not constitute a monopoly. No claim was made that standard company practices make the insured pay more than he should for his protection. In stead, the investigators apparent, ly tried hard to prove that exist ing state supervision of insurance is inadequate, and that the only solution is sweeping Federal Sup ervision. Just how successful those who steer the course of monopoly com mittee have been in persuading the public that there isn’t enough Federal control over our economic destinies remains to be seen. And whether or not the investigations will be followed by legislation to wards this end (such as Senator O’Mahoney’s once-proposed, then dropped bill to require Federal li censing of all corporation) is also a matter that only the future can decide. But this does seem cer tain—by and large, the current Congress seems to grow increas ingly distrustful of new “experi ments” and the pending 1940 Presidential battle makes memb ers of both parties eager to escape taking sides on highly controver sial matters so far as they can. So it is not unlikely that legisla tion to make the Federal govern ment even more top-dog in the public’s affairs, may be quietly tabled by this Congress. ***« Some time ago the Townsend plan took a terrific beating in Con press—the vote was about three to one against it.

The Ad ministration’s plan for liberaliz ing the present act, most details of which are now known, seems assured of passage. The plan calls for starting pay ment of old age benefits on the first day of next year, instead of waiting two years longer, and bene fits are to be liberalized. Bene fits for widows and orphans are proposed. However, the increase in the payroll tax, also scheduled for next year, is to be delayed un. til 1943. Congress is apparently convinc ed that the principle of a large re serve fund, salient feature of the act as originally enacted, is un sound. Sentiment —seems to fa vor a reserve fund of only moder ate size, and the pay-as-you go plan. In the meantime, economists are wondering just how we’ll be i able .to meet rising old age fund assessments. Next year it is es timated that the fund will spend $88,000,000 in benefits. Five years from now it will spend $713, 000,OOl—and 20 years from now, $2,500,000,000. The experts fig ure that income will more than meet outgo until 1955. Then out go will take the upper hand, and the reserve fund will start to shrink. There is a likelihood that the program will eventually be part ly mibsidited from general tax revenues, say actuaries, as a pay roll tax of almost 10 per cent would be needed to pay the bill, ' and this would be too heavy a bur den for worker and employer to curry. * *** Recent business news shows a resumption in sales by eor.sum i ers’ goods industries—while the vital heavy goods industries re main more or less stagnant. That is happened before and according to economists, is the reason why ao many recovery movement have b. en short lived. -- nOft —_«■>«* ^thoughts of FAMOUS AUTHORS Do not isolate yourself.
