Friday, April 15,1988 Native of North Carolina Proposed As Justice of U. S. Supreme Court By H. E. C. Bryant Washington, April 14.—A na tive of North Carolina is being urged for an appointment to the Supreme Court of the United States President Roosevelt has been asked to send his nomina tion to the Senate. The man recommended is Robert L. Vann, editor of the Pittsburgh Courier v the leading negro newspaper of the United States. Vann was born in Bertie county but has lived in Pennsyl vania for many years. He is a well-known negro lawyer and an influential Democratic leader. President Roosevelt, recognizing his efforts in his behalf in 1932, appointed him assistant to the Attorney General of the United States, a post he held until he resigned. It has been many years' since North Carolina had a place on the Supreme Court bench. Judge John J. Parker of Charlotte was nominated'for one but failed of confirmation. Keen interest is felt in the aspirations of negro leaders to have a member of their race given the high honor sought for Vann. It has been said that 3,000,- 000 negroes voted for the re 128 Sterilization Operations Performed in This State Last Year A tabulation made by the Eugenics Board of North Carolina shows that 128 sterilization operations were per formed in the State in the year 1937. This brings to 518 the total number performed since 1929 under the sterili zation law enacted in that year. Os the 128 operations last year, 123 were performed with the written con sent of the next of kin or guardian. Os the 518 sterilized in the last 9 years, 294 were inmates o's state in stitutions, 30 were inmates of county institutions, and 194 were non-insti tutional cases (that is, cases in which SPEND A DATS VACATION AT HIGH POINT April 22nd ( .FURNITURE T FASHIONS f\ I f r ° m \ L COLONIAL DAYS ) it* T GAY 90s T FEATURES INTERESTING AND EDUCATIONAL 1.

C« election of Mr. Roosevelt in 1936, and that the turning of the rock ribbed Republican state of Penn sylvania to the Democrats was largely due to the popularity and force of Vann, who, without doubt, has done more than any other person to switch voters of his race from their old alliance with the G. 0. P. In the 1932 campaign the most scathing denunciation of the Hoover administration came froim the pen of Vann. It was in that year that the leaders of the two old parties commenc ed to realize that negro voters held the balance of power in close elections in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, California, Maryland and twelve other close states. Bob Vann is one of the power ful men in the political machine of Senator Joe Guffey and John L. Lewis, now in a bitter fight with another group of Penn sylvania Democrats. Lawyers of the Fourth Re gional District of the National Bar Association, comprising the states of Maryland, Delaware, and New Jersey, met in Tren ton a few days ago and unani mously endorsed Vann for ap pointment to the Supreme Court. petitions were presented by the var ious superintendents of public wel fare). Os the total number of patients, 432 were women and 86 were men; 446 were white and 72 were negroes. The classifications as to mental sta tus are as follows: insane, 118; feeble min(K^s 3()2; others, 98. Sjwie Indiana adopted the first stimhzation law in 1907, about 28,- OOtt'persons have been sterilized in the United States. Almost half of these were in California. Virginia is second with 2,916. THE CHAPEL HILL WEEKLY, CHAPEL HILL, N. C. Charles H. Houston, special counsel of the National Associa tion for the Advancement of Colored People, advocating Vann, said: “The growing support among negro citizens for the nomina tion of the Hon. Robert L. Vann by the President to fill the next vacancy on the United Staley Supreme Court marks a signifi cant step in the progress of our race toward full citizenship rights. “It is the first time that a -negro has been seriously advo cated as a candidate for the highest court in the land. It means that, as negroes we have reached the point where we be lieve that we have the right to representation on every level in every branch of the government. I can think of many negro law yers who would be a credit to the federal judiciary, and if we are intelligent enough and per sistent enough, we can win these judicial honors for them. When negro judges sit on the courts, both state and federal, through out the country, we will no longer have to worry about Scottsboros and the denial of our citizenship rights.” The secretary* of the confer ence at Trenton was directed to forward the resolutions of en dorsement of Vann to President Roosevelt and Attorney General Cummings. The famous case of Buck vs. Bell originated in Virginia. The right of the state to compel sterilization, un der proper safeguards, was upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States in the decision in sh s case. In writing the decision, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes said: “Three genera tions of imbeciles are enough.” A bulletin issued by the Human Betterment Foundation, Pasadena, Calif., says: “Sterilization is a surgical opera tion, which prevents parenthood with out in any way or degree unsexing the patient or impairing his or her health. It merely cuts and seals the tubes through which the germ cells pass. It is wholly different, therefore, from the crude and brutal operations of castration and asexualization, per (Continued on next page) SALE OF VALUABLE FARM PROPERTY Under and by virtue of the author ity conferred upon us in a Deed of Trust executed by N.
