PAGE FOUR EDITORIALS SATISFACTORY APPOINTMENTS The appointment of Attorney General Tom Clark to the United States Supreme Court has met with general approval among Negro citizens. While in the. Jus tice Department Mr. Clark was a consis tent advocate and defender of 'the end rights .of all Americans, and an outspoken champion of greater safeguards of these rights by the Federal government. It will also be lernembeved that he endoiscd President Truman s civil rights ptcifiarti. The new judge —for his confirmation is almost (\ Tom is a Texan, mt this fact does not bother Negro Americans at all. Mr. Clark is one of t.uoc honestly liberal southerners who believe in all - -y o es from prejudice against a man sim ple and solely because of ms being a soiu herner. There was some hope that President 'Truman would fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court with tlm appointment o a Negro, a number of whom a.v jurists learned and capable enough t° fid in "■ position. It was hardly to be expected, however, that a Negro would be appoint ed to the Supreme Court before Negroes had served in the lower U S. courts, and except for judgeships in the Virgin Is lands and the District of Columbia, no Negro has been a judge of a Federal court The time cannot be far distant, however, when this will no longer be true, and some day theme doubtless will be a Negro supreme court judge, selected on the basis of his qualifications as well as in onsideration of minority group rep resentation. Tom Clark was a good attorney gener al. If Senator McGrath accepts + he ap pointment as his successor the office will still be ir capab'e and reliable hands Senator McGrath has been a consistent and vigorous fighter, as senator and as chairman of (be Democratic National Committee, for the extension of denoracy ai d the fvdi bene‘its of citizen 'Tp in a democracy to ail American citizens. CONFOUNDING THE RACISTS The racists, that is, those who hold that ability is definitely and rigidly correlated with skin color, dimiiushimr among the races of man as pigmentation increases, are not so vocal or so influential today as they have been in the past. The ob jetive findings of the scientists have in (genera! demolished the theory of the in herent inferiority of the darker races. It is becoming more a. T more accepted a a fact that environment, nurture and op portunity have much more to do with the achievement of men and women of any pace than formerly was believed. It ha,, been demonstrated that native ability THE CAIIOLINIAN Published by The Camlmlsn PnbJiaMm f>. Nji#t HaropCl St, TV t* the Post Office at Ratelgb, N. C* under the Act Off March 3. iSm P R.

There are still a good many believer? in Ibe theory of racial superiority and jnferioii ty. however, and unfortunately not all of them, are white. There are Ne groes who, consciously or unconsciously, (have accepted as gospel the myth of Ne pro inferiority and white superiority. For the benefit of ail these we call attention t<> the recent report of the Norh Carolina Board of Medical Examiners on the re •suits of the latest examination for licen se:- to practice medicine. Dr. Alfred Tee Coles, of Durham, ranked second in a group of 82 who look the. examination. His average was 20.8. The young white man. Dr. Claude B Joyner, of Winston-Salem, who made the highest score, averaged 91, only two tenths of a poin* above Di . Coles. The latter is a graduate of Meharrv Medical (College. This little item adds one more bit of evidence against the racists one more bit to the vast and always growing mass of evidence that there is no fundamental and inherent difference between the races in native aUhty. 'the differences are individual far more than they arc ra cial. ONLY TWO The United press reported some tmo ago that only two persons turned up at a meeting of the group organized among students of the I ni versify oot North ( a irolina in opposition to tire student group supporting the admission of Negroes I ■•> the University’s law school. It is oncour aging to know that those actively op posed to the opening of the I‘ niversity’s graduate and professional schools to qual ified persons regardless of race are so few in number among the students of the ( niversity of North Carolina The time is coming when the propriety and logicality of giving up the »uemp* to maintain a dual s v s t ci m of pro fessional and graduate education will accepted, not only by a great majority ,of the students and faculty of the Uni versity. but by the general public of North Carolina There will he ,» consider able number who will oppo > and fight this change, and some who will never be reconciled to it; but. common sense and common justice will, prevail. Things have certainly changed already when the kind iof meeting held at Chapel Rill attracted no one except the chairman and the pub he tv man of the committee organized to oppose the acceptance ot a Negro in one of the 1 mversitv’s professional schools. • ANONYMITY ESSENTIAL To roc- the K.u Klux Klan of its cover of anonymity would be to ruin it. The Alabama Klan official who refused t,. •furnish the Court with- a roster of the local chapter’s membership could not d<* ’ otherwise, granting that he expected the ■ Ku Klux Ivlan to continue in existence. He toook the rap in a contempt order ra ther than submit the list. Furnishing a list of membership would .mt damage a bona-fide secret and fra ternal order like the Masons or the Knights of Pythias, but the. Klan naturally is in a different category, whatever parai h'ls its members may try to draw, or however they may try ;.o imply that the Kian is in the same class as sucl organ izations. It is gratifying ho rote that the State Supreme Court oi A: k una upheld th*- contempt sentence handed down by the judge of the lower court for the refusal of the Klan officer to furnish the roster. (There can be no legal justification for the kind of secrecy tbo Klan claimed it had the right to, and no legitimate organ ization would demand it.

But this is equally true of Cathoilci&m and so under the skin proto tant Catholics and Jews are very much alike, in fact too much abke to make sensible any de tinue spiritual schisms among lcitv-inclined souls. Mrs. Roosevelt was richt in her opposition to apportioning Feder al funds to parochial schools or ctner private institutions. There arc baptist schools and methodist schools and school,- of a hundred a< nomination and it would be just a- unwise for the government to • ttempt. to finance these as to finance the education of Catholics When the government denies Federal funds to the Catholic choois it docs not discriminate unless 't supplies funds to other deni minnt on*. The fact that stands out in majestic proportions is. this country is committed to the education of it youths and hal so provided and -f Catholic-; are willing to take advantage ■ f these provisions they may But when Catholics prefer C:-'*malic educa tion instead of the education pro vided by the -t,.te and nation then Catholics like others must ho pn arch to pay for it.
