Purdie, branch manager of sales. Purdie issued a statement today urging all motorist to avoid the last minute rush that occurred last year and purchase their plates early. The deadline this year will be at noon, January 30. ‘ Last year several hundred per sons were in line at the last min ute, Purdie pointed out today. This causes unnecessary work for the salesmen and a good deal of rush ing to secure the plates, he said. This year the license plates are black on orange, reversing the 1953 color scheme. Certain changes were made by the 1953 legislature with regard to licensing of trucks. In general, lic enses will be issued on the basis of the drivers’ declaration as to ths empty weight and maximum load of the truck.

In a 188-page brief filled with the high court. Atty. Gen. Herbert Brownell Jr. told the court it is its duty and within its authority to see to it that here is no- dis crimination against anyone cm ac count of color. The Supreme Court has under consideration five cases which challenge the constitutionality of segregation in public schools. They Involve the school systems of Vir ginia, South Carolina, Delaware, Kansas and the District of Colum bia. FIRST EXPRESSION The Justice Department’s brief represented the Eisenhower admin istration’s first official expression of its attitude on the issue of segregation in public schools. . The department intervened in the case during the Truman adminis tration and argued that segrega tion is unconstitutional. President Eisenhower told his news conference Nov. 17 that he would be conferring regularly with Brownell before the attorney gen eral submitted the segregation brief to the Supreme Court. Last June, the court ordered the cases re-argued and asked the parties involved to submit addi tional briefs answering specific questions!. New arguments are scheduled to start next Monday.' Okie of the questions asked by the-court was whether Congress or the states intended in 1866 when the 14th Amendment was Watified —to outlaw school segregation. The 14th Amendment forbids states to deny citizens “the equal protection of the laws.” It also asked whether the courts (Continued on page two) Dear Santa: It’s time to write Old Santa Claus again, and as usual, he wants all children to write him in. care of The Daily Record.
