VOL. XIV?NO. 3. House Group Sponsors Bill for Negro Law School in S. C. JUDICIARY BODY VOTES v - 22 TO 0 FOR MEASURE - . * The house judiciary conimittoo Wednesday voted 22 to 0, to sponsor a bill to set up a School of law at the state Negro college South Carolina A. and M., Oranggbulg, to meet what a trustee termed a critjfal situation at the ' University of South Carolina. House Speaker Sol Blatt, chairman of a subcommittee of university trustees, urged immediate action by the judiciary committee in its special session, explaining that ?- the trustees" expecfy?d an effort within a few days to forc.t the. university to allow a Negro to be admitted to the law school at the beginning?of?tire second semester February 13. A Negro, a resident of Columbia, applied for entrance et the law school a year ago and thp an plication was promptly referred to the subcommittee. Under the United -States 3 supreme court's recent decision requiring Missouri to furnish equal educational opportunities ifor Negroes and whites, Blatt said, "We know of no other way to meet this than to establish a chair of law at the state Negro college." "J say this with all due deference to you gentlemen that Negroes do pay taxes" and therefore are entitled to consecration," he asserted. ?~ .-4 ' Blatt, a Barnwell "attorney, said the Association for the Advance, ment for Colored People, wi'h offices at New York, was sponsorinn? fUrt - 1 * ? a ?"??; ?"?> ovuuui applicant.
