Ark" Teachers Take Salary Fight to U.S. Appeals Court St. Paul. Minn —The fight of Ne gro teachers in Little Rock. Arkan sas, for equal salaries was carried to the U. S Circuit Court of Ap peals for the Sth Circuit here Mon day, May 7. . The Little Rock teachers filed their original suit February 28, 1942 They charged that Negro teachers with the same trainng and experience, performing essentially the same duties, ar paid less than white teachers of th same grade and experience, and that this different ial is due solely to race and color The case was tried on its merits September 28. 1942, in the U. S | court for the Eastern district of I Arkansas and on March 10. 1944 Judge Trimble decided againt the Negro teachers and gave judgement for the defendant school beard From this decision the teachers are appealing, and their case was presented to the Circuit Court of Appeals here by J R Booker of Little Rock, and Thurgood Marsh all, special counsel of the NAACP in New York. As examples of unequal salaries the lawyers set forth in their brief that a Negro teacher with 32 years of experience and an AB degree is receiving $884, whereas a white teacher with 30 years of experience betwen the white and colored tea chers with from one to twenty years of experience, in both elementary and high school The Little Rock board of educat ion maintains that all the teachers are paid on an individual basis pursuant to a system of merit and responsibility, but the schtduje of salaries shows a sharp break on the basis of race and color The Little Rock case is the sec ond one in tlie past seven or eight years that the NAACP has been handling these cases in which a sehoi I board has chosen to go as h:gh as the Circuit Court of Ap peals. which is seconly only to the C Supreme Cou-t Ic 'he other case, arising in Norfolk. Virginia the Circuit Court of Appeals brand, ed unequal salaries on the basis of race as being unconstitutional This decision raised the salaries of Norfolk Negro teachers a total of $129,000 annually. The decision l av been recognized as the ruling , opinion in practically all states and many boards of education have been advised by their lawyers not to fight cases in the courts because of this clear-cut precedent. The Little Rock board of educat ion refused to admit that the Nor folk opinion applied to th< local situation and elected to fight it out into the high courts The Negro teachers are equally confident and determined. If the Circuit Court of Appeals here should decide for the Negro teachers, legal circles be lieve that the principle will have been so firmly established that e qualization of salaries will follow generally throughout the South NAACP YOUTH CROUPS HACK RACE EQUALITY AT SAN FRAXCISCo New York, N Y —Resolutions urg ing a declaration of racial equality by the San Francisco conference, a permanent FEPC, and non discrim inatory treatment of returning vet erans were adopted by the advisory council for youth groups of the I NAACP which met here April 2*-2'.i j Representatives came from ten communities and colleges as far west as Langston university in Ok lahoma, and as far south as Paine college.
