During the day, people active in the civic affairs of the community will participate in a publie fo rum on “Community Relations and the Press,” which will also be held at the Hotel Theresa. Civic organizations, religious groups and representatives of the city’s high school and col lege press are scheduled to par ticipate in the forum. Mr. McCray is currently the central figure in a court case invohing the freedom of the press throughout the nation. He was indicated by a southern grand jury two months ago a- loiig with Deling Booth, a re porter for the Associated Press, following the publication of ar ticles concerning the conviction of a Negro who had been charg ed with criminally assaulting a young white girl. Both Mr. McCray and Mr. Booth are accused of “malicious ly attemipting to do irreparable harm to the good name and splendid reputation of the inno cent j'oung girl.” Among those who are contributing to their defense in the case are the pub lishers of several prominent dai ly and weekly newspapers and Time magazine. Mr. Ewing, as head of the Federal Security Administra- |ion, is generally regarded as one of the foremost supporters of social reforms concerned with the improvement of living con ditions in the country, especially those affecting minority groups. “Freedom’s Journal,” pub lished b3* John Russwurm and the Rev. Samuel Cornish, began publication on March 16, 1827, from an office at 10 Varick St., New York City.

Each contestant is required to make four copies of his or her essay; one copy for each one of the judges and one copy for personal use. Not over ten min utes will be allowed for the read ing of each essay. Contestants and their essays will be judged on the following points. 1. Correct language arrange ment. 2.

Tin* Court is urged to re-ex- aniiiie the “s«*parate but equal” doctrine in light of more recent decision holding racial dis tinctions in laws odious to the American way of life. The,s«* later decisions, the brief con tends, are more truly representa tive of the true meaning of the Fourteenth Anienilment. In the Sweatt ca,s(*, the brief sets out the long, involved pro cedure that has dragged the case through almost four years of litigation through Texas courts while Sweatt, in the meantime, Avas at first offered no legal edu cation and then offered two Jim Ctow rnake-shift set-ups, one in Austin and a second in Houston. Mr. Marshall has termed the Mcl>anrin case “different from all other ea.ses involving segregation in education” and ■states that it “makes the^ clear est challenge to segregation in public education.” This is true, the NAACP counsel asserts, be cause McLaurin has the same instructors and the same course iof study as white students and I)articii>ates in class discussions, although he is seated in an al cove outside the cla.ssroom. Union Bags Exciting Win Over Hampton HAMPTON, VA. Virginia I'nion's Panthers capitalized oiv-j^en.sational set. shots by Bill Wilson and How ard Jones to grab a 34-24 first half lead over Hampton’s Pir ates here W'eihiesday, March 1 and coasted to a 67-55 victory. The contest, terminating a three game losing streak for Un ion, left the Panthers with a 13- 4 CIAA record and Hampton with 5 won and 10 lost. Wilson and Jones hml 14 a- piece to lead the visitors, and Chaiining Phillips, Bill John son and Zeke Clement clipped in with 13, 11, and 10 respective ly in the smooth, well-rounded Panther attack. For the Pirates Arthur Holmes led with 12 points and Walter Pattillo netted 10. ITiion jumped to a G-0 lead, but Pattillo's basket tied things at 14 14 midway of the first half. Two baskets by Gardner Brown reduced the next Union lead to 22-20 before Wilson, Jones, Clement, and Phillips collaborated on a big Union spurt to put the Panthers out of danger.

I Unpcrturbetl by the refusal of I a Chester county grand jury to indict two Oxford proprietors admittedly discriminating a- gainst Negroes, President Horai'o .M. Bond states that the student continues to have administrative support. “We think of ourselves,” he said, “as being, most appropri ately a ‘Penn’s-Sylvania’ insti tution. .Viiiety-six years of age by ('Iwrter, our spiritual roots go back to the founder of this ('onunonwealth, William Penn, justly regarded as the father of civil liberties in America.” “Our rniversitj’ was found- Homer Smith, noted singer of radio and concert platform and his Melodaires will be heard in liecital at Mount Vernon Bap tist ('hurch, Monday, March 27. Jlr. Smith has been hailed with great enthusiasm and acclaim by his admirers among music lovers all over America. The high, light clear tones of his extraordinarily “sweet ten or” always attract attention and serve to identify him wherever he is heard. Shortly after he .joined the United States Coast Guard in 1942, he was asked to form the Coast Guard Quartet, which soon came to bo known from one end of the country to the other as the Mariners. Fred Allen over NBC and Arthur Godfrey over CBS were among his great boosters and quickly zoomed Homer Smith and his sea-going songsters to national fame. The secret of Ilomer Smith’s outstanding success with all of the great singing groups he help ed to organize and develop — if secret it is — is his exception al skill in program building — an lui usual knowldege of how best to combine old and neAV song favorites and his special ar rangements designed to bring out the best qualities of the voices under his direction Finally, of course, there is his knowlde«e of men. He not only knows a good voice when he hears one, but he knows how to pick good voices that will blend together and, even more ini portant, men who can and will work together for long tedious hours to obtain that ultimate in harmony, which is the essence of goo«l ens«‘mble singing.

NEW YORK Everett Gray, a young Negro, who is a victim of Marie-Strum- pell ilisease, or rheumatoid ar thritis of the spine, was featur ed on Saturday night's NBC 4(icvision Show, “Around the i’own.” The show was presented in cooperation with the Arthritis and HJieumatism Foundation. .\lr. (iray was lauded for his courage in triumphing over his Handicap, and j)res*“nted a gold watch. For six years Mr. Gray was helplessly -rippled in a hospital. Then he became a patient at the Institute for llf'habilitation in New York. There he learned •ow to get along Avith his iu- lirmity. He now has a job as a aniera repair man and is mar ried to a former fellow patient at the Institute. There are seven and a half million Americans who like Mr. Gray are affilicted with some .orni of rheumatic disease, points out the Arthritis and Rheumjitism Foundation.

Frederick Douglass, a Negro who escaped frpm slavery and became his people’s most elo quent champion of freedom, has been nominated for the Hall of Fame for Great Americans on the campus of New York Univer sity. The announcement was made y esterday by Dr. lialph W. Sock man, tiirector of the famed shrine .He disclosed that Doug lass is the s(‘coud eligible Negro nominated for the 1950 quin- quemiial (every five years) elec tion. The other Negro is Ben jamin Banneker, and 18th cen- ceutury scientist, architect, ed ucator, philosopher and inven tor. l>ouglass escaped from bond age in 1883 when he was 21. An extemporaneous speech three years later before an anti-slav ery group led to his appointment as an agent of the Massachusetts tAnti-Salvery Society. Fearing recapture, Douglass in 1845 embarked on a two-year lecture tour through England, Scotland, and Ireland where the impressed populace raised 150 .pounds to secure his legal re lease from slavery. I’pon his return to the United States he began publication in jllochester, New' York, of The North Star, an anti-slavery jour nal which allied itself with the conservative abolitionists who sought to end slavery by con stitutional methods. When the Civil war began he was the first to suggest the use of Negro troops, two of his sons serving in the Union Army. Af ter the war he became the first Negro to hold these federal posts: Assistant Secretary of the Santo Domingo Commission, 18- 71; Marshal of the District of Columbia, 1877-1881; Recorder of Deeds, District of Columbia, ,1881-1886; and American Min ister in Residence and counsul- general in the Republic of Haiti 1889-91. Should Douglass be elected to the Hall of Fame he would be come the second Negro .so hon ored, Booker T. Washington having been elected in 1945. Names of candidates, among whom are former President Woodrow Wilson, Mary Baker Eddy and Herman Melville, will be submitted to the College of Electors, compo.sed of 118 prom inent citizen from every state. The results will be announced a- bout November 1.
