Negro Called Test Of
American
:!
t
ST. LOUia, MO,
The American Negro hu t»e-
come “the acid test of Ameri
can democracy,” the NAACP’s
top official has asserted here.
Roy WUldns, NAACP. execu
tive secretary, maintained that
the rights accorded to Negro re
flect the status of “American
democracy” more clearly thaq
“the immigrant, or, say, the dis
tribution of wealth.”
The Association official ad
dressed a meeting of the Liberal
Fonmi on Dec. 16. Also address
ing the fcoriun was Norman E.
Isaacs, managing editor of the
Louisville (Ky.) Times,
Wilkins praised the City of
St. Louis and the State of Mis
souri for progress in desegrega-i
ting public schools in these
words:
“I am proud indeed that in
my home state uid in my native
city of St^^ I^uis the Supreme
Court opinion was . ^
an excuse for im-American ac
tivities in the ti^est sense of
the term. ;1
“Men and women of goo4
sense and good will, imbue4
with play and patriotism
and with a wholesome respect
for law, proceeded to tiitf ^naxiy,
tasks Incident to the transition.
There was first thie determina
tion to comply.
“The task was not easy and It
has not yet been completed.
Every probl^n has not been
solved, nor will be soon. The im
portant aspect is. that there is
mov^ent toward solutloiL
“The thousands of individual
St. Louisians’ and organized
groups of every level of society,
of every faith and race, can take
pride in the example that has
t>een set for the . nation. The
state and city governments, the
school administrators and tea
chers, the business and labor
leaders, the daily newspapers
and the parents of both races
gave a demonstration of good
citizenship in. action that is an
inspiration to all disciples of de
mocracy."
\ Quoting PreUdekit Eise^iho-
wer’s denunciation in regard to
the Soviet d^iial of humaqj
rights, Wilkins declared: “I sug
gest that we might mourn, also,

Texas Judge's Remarks Are
Sharply Criticized By Jurist
, NEW YORK
lA»ited States ZMs^riet Judge
William H. Atwell of Dallas,
Texas, is “not fit to sit on the
bench, “New York Supreme
Court Judge Meier Steinbrink
said here today. Judge Stela-
brink served as chairman of a
special committee of the Brook
lyn Bar Association which cen
sured Judge Atwell for preju
dicial remarks made fn^ tiiej
bench at the conclusion of a tri
al here in 1928.
The New York Jurist, today
recalled the findings ' of that
committee after Judge Atwell
caustically criticized the United
States 'Supreme Court Decem
ber 19 when he handed down ^
ruling that the Dallas, Texas
school board could not be com
pelled “at the prraent time” to
desegregate its schools. The 86-
year-old Texan assailed the Su
preme Court’s anti-segregation
away.’

garded as “more authoritative,
modem psychological know-
ledge.” .
Judge Atwell" “should have
disqualified himself” in the
Dallas case. Judge Steinbrink
said today, “because he showed
himself to be anti-Negro t>ack
in J928.1 don’t believe he’s ever
changed his attitude and he now
puts hin^elf alxive the law as
interpreted by a unanimous Su
preme Court bench. He lielieves
in a goverpment of men, not of
law.” ; >, >
Ilie' -Brooklyn censure of
Judge Atwell stemmed from
abusive remarks he made in
court to'an attorney represent
ing a case before him and his
gratuitous remark that “whltcj
wd colored people cannot live
together.” The Texan belittled
the attorney in the presence of
his client and threatened to Jail
him when he protested.
Because the attor^^ had
questioned the validity of th^
testimony of the arresting offi
cer, JTudge Atwell berated him
and dted what would happen
down in Texas. “Now, in my
part of the country,” he said,'
“had you made such an accusa
tion against an officer of the
Jaw, he would have smashed
your &ce before you got out of
the courtroom. Or, if he had
sufficient control over himself,
he would have waited until hct
got outside and then suffered
the consequences.”
The Bar Association qommlt-
tee condemned these remarks
as “entirely unjustified and un^)
warranted and dearly in vio
lation of every dictate of com
mon courtecy and decency.”
Further the committM’s resolu
tion charged the remarks “were
Intemperate, vituperative and
malicious, were deliberately
made and were calculated and
designed to humiliate the said
F. R. Senri, Esq. before his cli
ent.*’
The refusal of Judge Atwell
to permit the attorney to reply
“to his verbal assaults was cow
ardly in the extreme,” the reso
lution asserted. The repmrt ot
the committee was sent to the
U. S. Supreme Court with ■ re
quest to Chief Justice William
