NAACP attorneys who have
charge of the case include: Mr.

of what took place on the IJni

told by Mr. Ccwnn:
“Wo were fortunate in seeing

replied ‘yes.’ Ho asked each their

for each to sign. I don’t know
whether he did tfvis to compare

in substance was this: ‘Dean

picked out Homer L. Saunders,
and asked him why he wanted to

Tennessee could. Dean Smith then
asked him if he would be w iling
w go to some otner scnool cot.ri
pacable to U. T„ w thin or with
out the State, if the University
would pay the difference in coat.
Saunders replied that since he
was a citizen of Tennessee, he.
would not be willing to go out of
tha State. Dean Smith then asked
would h“ be willing to go to
some other school in the State—
say A. & I., it is a good school.
Saunders replied ‘No’ to A. & I.,
because they did not offer the
!«mo facilities that U. T. did.
Dean Smith then wanted to know
would he be willing to go to Fisk
if the same facilities were pro
vided there that are provided at
U. T. Saunders hesitated and then
said, I am a Knoxville boy and I
could live cheaper here at home
than 1 could at Nashville. Dean
Smith replied ‘arsuiring that we
would pay the difference in ex
penses including cost of living &
pay transportation, etc.’ Saun
ders replied that he would like
to think it over, but on the spui
of the moment, he did not see any
reason why he would net go to
Fisk if equal facilities were pro
vided and the University or i.he
State pay the difference in ex
penses.
“I then interrupted and said
that the men were not there to
be cross examined and give their
depositions, but were there to
register and naturally were will
ing to give any information bear
ing directly on their applications.

i uean Smith replied tha.. w? had
cross-examined the University of
ficials last Wednesday. I told him
I bcggc-l to differ, bo.it what the
applicants and I really wanted to
know if he were going to issue
i a pen r it to register. He then re
plied that he could not permit
the boys to register because of
tbo State law against it. I then
said ‘yo/u refuse to allow
them to register because the
F.Vte law forbids White and
Colored being in the same school.
Dean Smith replied, ‘that 1 knew
it as well as he d:d, and that I
. know why he could not permit
j the boys to register.’ J. P. Hess,
j secretary of the Board interrupt
ed and said that neither Dean
■ Smith nor anyone else had au
thorty to say why the boys were
no1: being registered, except to
say that the Board was still con
sidering their cases. I then said,
‘It appeared to me that their
. answer to our request would be
that the Board was still cons'd
eripg it .and that there was
St.4te law Ugainst it.’ Dean Smith
said that there is a State law
against, it and that d:d I want
the boys and the University to
violate the State law. I told him
that there was a difference in
opinion as to whether the State
law would be superseded by the
Federal Constitution and that I
did not propose to argue the
case today.”

Denmark, received the Nobel prize
in 1520 for determining the char
acter of rhe capillaries and fur find
ing «<ut the way in which they regu
late the how of blood.
and in careful financial planning.
He said that credit could be help
ful if r roporly used, but quite
dangerous if improperly used. He
tio over-borrow and advised ‘ he
cautioned against the inclination
working out in advance of a re
payment plan which could rea
sonably expect to be uret in the
normal course of farming.
Gov. Hill described the FCA
as a system under wixich the gov
ernmeni is trying to help farm
ers help themselves to establish
: r, cooperative credit system to
meet their individual needs. The
governor assured tihe agricultur
al leaders of the interest of the
FCA in their work and observed
that voea ional agriculture tea
chers have a real opportunity to
assist in improving the business
end of fanning and placing it up
on a much sounder basis. He ex
pressed appreciation of the efforts
the vocational agriculture teach
ers are making in this field and
suggested that “by working to
gether in this direction we can
‘go places’.”
A. S. Goss, in his talk bo the
aid. of federal land bank and land
group, explained that with the
bank commissioner loans, farms
can now be purchased with a
down payment equal to 25 per
cent of the value of the farm. He
expressed the thought that a pros
pective farm purchaser should
always have a stake to start with
a margin of safety to work on.
“If the purchaser has no stake to
start with,” said Mr. Goss, “he
should get it—work for it as a
tenant or in some other way
whereby he can accumulate the
25 per cent payment necessary
before buying.” He warned
against the unwisdom of borrow
ing to make the down payment.
The commissioner emphasized the
fact that it is the aim cf the FCA
to help farmers get out of debt
not to get them into it.
C. R. Arnold, explained the
functions of the production credit
association branch offices esta
blished in the various agricultur
al counties for the convenience of
those seeking short-term credit.
Ho explained that the branch of
fices give the same service as
headquarters offices and yet a
voids all the expense that would
be required in setting up another
association. Mr. Arnold stated
that from 20-25 per cent of the
production credit association bor
