Hearing began be fore his Commission on May n and to be,'cotitmul i -June fft WU1 this commission 'decide, in' favor of the railroad or the gubllcT v- h by J."W. Tomlinson : The 12-page decision of the United States Supreme Court outlawing segregation in the public schools of the states on the ground that it violated the 14th Amendment' is a violation of precedents and the most serious blow that has yet been Struck against the rights of the states in a matter vitally affecting their authority and welfare. i The decision, handed down by Chief Justice Earl Warren tor a unanimous court, shows a strong tendency on the part of the court to usurp the functions of state legis-' lative bodies, a usurpation that those who drafted the United States Constitution never intended. , The thirteen original states sur rendered only a few rights by adopting the Constitution, and what they didn't surrender, as stated in that immortal document, were ex pressly reserved to themselves. '. The states surrendered such rights as national defense, currency reform and postof fice privileges. But they did not ' surrender the right to handle all domestic pro blems, including election laws, crim inal and civil cases and, after the proclamation freeing slaves, the distinction between the races. Next, the historic decision can and should be critized for assuming authority belonging to other bran ches' of the government. The framers of the United States Constitution had before them the works of Blackstone and of Monte squieu each of whom had emphasi zed the importance of a general separation of the legislative, execu tive and judicial departments of government and this separation was observed by them in framing the United States Constitution. The historic decision swept aside this separation. The Judicial branch rather than the- legislative branch is writing the Jaws, and the Judicial branch wither thahtte "executive branch is assuming authority - for administering them. - The decision, considered the most Important in race relations since the famous Dred Soott decision of 1857, . should be deplored for re versing the supreme law of the land on the 14th ' Amendment. That amendment says all citizens must be treated equally, and for over half a century no decision of the Supreme Court had said segre gation by itself was unconstitution al. Since 1896 this has been the de. cisions of the court. Even though Negroes were separated from the whites, there was no violation of the 14th Amendment so long as Negroes received treatment equal to that given whites. For 58 years the court had never reversed that rul ing of 1896 by saying or intimating segregation of itself is unconstitu tional. The separate bjl equal doctrine meant that -Negroes would get faci lities equal to those for white per sons although those facilities would be separate. In 1950 the court re-affirmed the "separate but equal" doctrine as the supreme law of the land in race relations. The court held that Texas and Oklahoma must let Negroes into white schools, not because seg regation by itself was unconstitu tional, but because Negro schools in those states were not equal to those of the whites. With the court sticking rigidly to the "separate but equal" doetrine laid down in 1896, the Southern States, accepting the vilidlty of the decision, have expended hundred of millions of dollars for construc tion of new Negro school facilities to conform with the supreme law of the land, Great progress has been made at tremendous cpst throughout the South to carry out that which the southern State Governments had the right to believe was the supreme law of the land. This reversal by the court from its "separate but equal" policy to complete abolition of segregation will create problems such as have never confronted the nation before. ' , ' By .violating precedents the Su preme Court has opened the 'door to one suit after another to end segregation in such places at bea ches,.

( The Hospital Top Award was presented to A. F. G. E. member, Woodrow Williams by Dr. Winfred Overholser, superintendent of St. Elizabeths Hospital in Washington. D. C. Saint Elizabeths Hospital, in the nations capital, is one of the Govern ments Major Center for treatment of the mentally 111. Last Friday afternoon, several hundred patients, employees and visitors gathered in a picturesque out door ceremony to honor a group of men and women whose contri bution to the recovery of mental patients is seldom recognized, the hospital's psychiatric aides, word attendants in the civil service job description . Most outstanding patients, doc tors.nurses and fellow employees nominated the attendant they con sidered most outstanding. A dis tinguished committee of judges made the final selection. The top award, psychiatric aide of the year went to active A. F. G. E. member, Woodrow Williams. In addition of the trophy and cash award he received at the ceremony, Mr. Williams will also receive a National Award, next week from the National Association for Men tal Health. Perhaps the reason Mr. Williams received the award can best be fo und In the excerpts from the pro gram booklet prepared for the ceremony. , "For a long time he workeecfin a disturbed ward where many of the patients had to be kept in", but he was competent in dealing with patients of this type, drawing them out, stimulating pride in their per sonal appearance and conduct. As a result, he weaned patients away from demonstrating by invective and violence their antagonism a gainst both hospital staff and other patients: " '"Moved" tft a convalescent ward in the same section of the hospital, Mr. Williams demonstrated the same initiative at Christmas time. He showed his thoughtfulness, by pro viding each of his thirtv cWcee, with a tastefully wrapped Christ mas present, each one individuali zed. On his salary he couldn't af ford much, a handkerchief, a ciRT, some candy but carefully selected. It is not to be wondered that pa tients respond to this man, - that they cooperate - that the patients help him make his ward the tidiest, quietest, most orderly in Howard Hall and why patients in other wards seek transfer to this ward." "Exercising intelligent initiative, he interests patients in helping each other, encouraging the convalescent patients to assist in drawing out the seclusive, withdrawn ones and quieting the disturbed. As a conse quence, medical treatment programs are more successful and recovery is accelerated. Mr. Williams stimu lated patients to help each other to mix well, to work together, to be kind to each other and be toler ant." Woodrow is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Chesley Williams of Beula ville. His wife is the former Miss Ethel Dail, daughter 6f Mr. and Mrs. Harper Dail of Chinquapin. Pre-Derby Even!

Cooperafvie Savings & Loan Mn. Opens In Wallace Friday; Caudell Mgr. The establishment of a locally operated Savings home financing agency in Wallace to serve surroun ding communities has been a long time ambition of W. F. Caudell, manager of the Cooperative Sav ings and Loan Association office which opens in Wallace on East Main Street at 2 p.m. Friday for its gala get-acquainted week. "The areas of Duplin and Pender Counties the Cooperative will serve has long needed such an institution, and that need has been recognized' for years," Caudell said this week. "On many of my past visits here I have discussed the subject with local business interests, and plans were made tenatively to seek a charter and recruit local capital. "It was found, however, that Sav ings & Loan Associations, begin ning from scratch, must operate for two years or more before earning enough reserve to pay attractive dividends," the Cooperative manager explained." The solution has been found now with the expansion of the Cooperative Savings 8c Loan which has 56 years of successful operation in Wilmington and East ern North Carolina behind it. "Through the Wallace office of Cooperative, those who open sav ings accounts will earn returns on their money at the current rate of 3 per cent a year every day it is left" in the account. Too, Coopera tive accounts are protected fully by the Federal Savings & Loan In surance Corp, a U. S. government agency. It also has the protection and guidance afforded by its mem berships in the Federal Home Loan Bank; the U. S. Savings & Loan League and the North Carolina Savings Si Loan League. "As far as loans are concerned, the financing of new homes, mod ernization and repairs, and the gen eral improvement of real estate can be best handled locally, and Cooper ative's policy is to let money saved at home work at home." Mr. Caudell said that he considers the most important task facing him in Wallace is to get acquainted with more citizens of this area." I have come to know a great many persons here and have made some good friends," he said. "I want, however, to make a real study of the needs of this area for the savings and loan services Cooperative can office. My job is to make it as pleasant and as convenient as possible for residents of our Duplin and Pender com munities to avail themselves of the safe and profitable opportunities of the Cooperative program. Mr. Caudell is a native of Robe son County. He recently sold out his business interests in Florida to return to North Carolina and estab lish a home in Wallace.

Codet Mayer of commendation which stated that school could bestow on atcdet by Tom Boney of the Wallace Enterprise .- -The Negro leaders . of Duplin county are unanimously in xavor of segregation in the public schools. : That is the opinion gathered from numerous contacts during the past three days by the editor of The Wallace Enterprise. From aU parts of Dupiln County, east west north, south, and central, the thinking was the same segregation is best lor both races. The straw poU was taken of lead ing Negro citizens, all successful and well thought of in their respec tive communities. But while they were all in accord in , their belief that separation of tbe'jaces is desirable nearly all expressed a desire for "EQUAL . facilities for both the races. All citizens contacted answered Yes" to each of the following ques tions asked in the poll: 1- Are you familiar with the re cent Supreme Court decision abol ishing legalized segregation in the public schools? 2. Do you think that your people prefer to attend the schools the county has provided and now providing for Negroes as in the past? 3 Do you think that Negro child ren would prefer to attend schools with Negro faculties and supervis ors? 4. Do you think that the Negroes of Duplin County prefer to partici-. pate in educational leadership and activities such as PTA, basketball, and aU school functions -in their own schools? h & Do you favor equal but separate schools on a voluntary basis? 6. Do you think that better edu cational opportunities can be afford ed the Negro children- of Duplin County in separate but equal schools? -. Comments of Negroes showed that most of them have been doing a lot of constructive thinking and their grasp and insight into the situation was amazing to the interviewer.- v i 'Reverend Malachi Newkirk, who is held in deep respect by the mem., bers of both races, white' and black. stated , that, he Intends to call, a meeting about June 1st of all .negro leaders in the county; This meet ing, cdming after the primary , this Saturday, "wUl be free of aU poli tics", he said. The purpose of the meeting will be to draft a petition for presentation to the County Board of Education urging that body to consider continuing the schools of the county on the same basis as in the past, on a voluntary basis, with a view toward equalizing faci lities in all schools of the county at an early date. Reverend Newkirk, whose pene trating intellect and insight into the problems of humanity, said, "I believe I am speaking for 90 per cent of the Negroes when I say that we do not want to send our children to the white schools and have them mingle and eventually intermarry with the whites." Continuing, he said, "the whites and blacks must work together to Iron this situation out. The friend ship and deep respect of the old timey black man and the old-timey white man has got to be revived." The Hallsville and Rocky Point Baptist Church minister, who Uves y a mile west of Rose HUl, had four churches up to last year. Eighty years old, he has traveled in 45 of the states and been to England and South America. He plans to visit Colorado this week. He proposed that the Negroes be given some voice in the selection of a super visor for the schools and have some control over the hiring and firing of teachers. Other comments heard were as follows: James Rice, KenansviUe store operator: "I think we would rather go on as we are now. I think the people of KenansvUIe as a whole prefer separate schools." Sam Stackhonse, farmer. Route 1, Box 58, Magnolia: "We would like to have equal rights the same as whites. We prefer Negro instructors.
