REV. CRAWFORD
RICHMOND VA.. — Howard
University plans to expand its
law school facilities so as to
double enrollment in the next
two or three years. Dean Clar
ence Clyde Fergujon Jr. told
the Old Dominion Bar Associa

He said this was being done
to meet what he. termed a crlti-
cal shortage of Negro lawyers
all over the couhtry, and especi
ally in the South.
Dean Ferguson said every
graduate of the Howard Law
School next mouth will have
his pick of six jobs. Law firms,
business establishments, govern
ment agencies and public utili
ties have asked the college for
six times more lawyers than 11
will graduate this year, Dean
Ferguson said.
The Howard law dean was
