SUPREME COURT ACTIONS
ADVERSE
During the past few years, the
United States Supreme Court has
handed down several decisions
adversely affecting vital matters
of great concern to the American
people.
The first of the cases to which
I refer was the notorious decision
of May 17, 1954, in which it was
decreed that separate but equal
public schools would no longer
meet the legal test, that segre
gation could not be enforced in
the public schools.
Another case arose in Penn
sylvania. The Supreme Court de
cided in Pennsylvania vs Steve
Nelson that because there was a
federal sedition law, a state had
no authority to legislate in that
field.
A third case arose in New York
City. In this instance the Supreme
Court ruled that the City did not
have the power to dismiss a teach
er who, when questioned by duly
constituted authority, refused to
State whether he was a communist.
LATEST CASE INVOLVES PRI
VATE SCHOOL
On April 29 of this year, the
Supreme Court handed down an
other verdict in a case involving
a private school. The decision re
versed the decision of the Penn
sylvania Supreme Court, as also
had happened in the Steve Nelson
case.
This latest ursurpation of power
by the United States Supreme
Court involved the question of
whether Stephen, Girard, who died
In 1831, could will his estate to be
used for the operation of a private
school exclusively for poor white
orphan boys. After 126 years, the
Supreme Court has decreed that
Girard could not provide in his
will for such use of his funds,
that the school in Philadelphia will
have to be opened to Negroes.
PUBLIC FUNDS NOT
INVOLVED
This case does not involve the
question of using public funds to
operate the Girard school. The
only public connection with the
school was the fact that Girard
provided in his will tha*. the Board
of Directors of City Trusts be
trustee for the school established
by Girard’s will.
The plaintiffs in the case decid
ed by the Supreme Court con
tended that Negro children should
not be excluded from the school
because such exclusion would vio
late the Fourteenth Amendment
to the Constitution.
PENNSYLVANIA COURT
OPINION
But the Pennsylvania Supreme
Court declared that:
“No such question could pos
sibly arise in the case of a pri
vate charitable trust for the
Fourteenth Amendment applies
only to agencies of the state or
of a municipality within the
State; it is directed solely against
State, not individual action . . .”
SUPREME COURT
DIFFERS
However, in spite of this dis
tinction made by the Pennsylvania
Court in denying the application
of the plaintiffs, the United States
Supreme Court said:
“The Board which operates Gir
ard College is an agency of the
State of Pennsylvania. Therefore,
even though the Board was acting
as a trustee, its refusal to admit
(the paintiffs) . . . because they
were Negroes was discrimination
by the State. Such discrimination
is forbidden by the Fourteenth
Amendment. . .”
Thus the citizens of the United
States now are faced with a new
law “written” by the Supreme
Court. They cannot will their es
tates to be used for specific pur
poses with any assurance their in
tent will be carried out, unless it
meets with the approval of the
Supreme Court.
SUPREME COURT FAILS TO
DISTINGUISH
Apparently the Supreme Court
could not distinguish between the
Philadelphia Board of Trusts act
ing in the capacity of trustee for
Girard and acting in an official
capacity for the State. This deci
sion, unless reversed, means that
the sovereign States will have to
take additional measures to

strengthen the legal bulwarks
which have been established to
prevent usurpation of power by
the Supreme Court.
I intend to give careful atten
tion to this question to determine
if any action can be taken in the
Congress against such usurpation
by the Supreme Court.
MADE PROGRESS ON THREE
BILLS
During the past week, I have
been greatly encouraged by ac
tion taken or promised on three
bills now pending in the Senate
Interstate and Foreign Commerce
Committee.
First, I succeeded in blocking
action for another two weeks on
S. 1490, a bill which would re
quire farmers and other small
truckers to register their vehi
cles with the Interstate Commerce
Commission. As I stated several
weeks ago, I see no need for this
additional red tape and federal
control over a farmer who might
cross a State line only once a
year. Under the bill as now writ
ten, he would have to register if
he made just one trip into anoth
er State. When this bill is brought
up again, I hope it can be amend
ed if not defeated.
Second, at the Commerce Com
mittee meeting, I secured the
promise of Senator Monroney (D-
Okla), chairman of the Aviation
Subcommittee, to hold early hear
ings on iS. 4 which I introduced
to prohibit the serving or con
sumption of liquor on airplanes.
Third, Senator Smathers (D-
Fla.), chairman of the Surface
Transportation Subcommittee, to
hold hearings on S. 1226, my bill
to require the labeling of cigar
ette packages as to contents.
I am confident that favorable
action in all these matters would
be in the best public interest and
I believe that hearings will point
up the need for the actions I have
suggested.

From Louise Mean, Nebraska
City, Nebr.: My father was a mer
chant in the village of Peru, Ne
braska. a Missouri River town
founded in 1865. The life of a vil
lage merchant in the '80’s and
’60’s was one of incessant labor.
A day’s work for him and his
helpers covered twelve or four
teen hours after 7 A.M. Much of
the work was heavy when trade
was almost at the barter stage.
There was the endlass counting of
eggs, from the farmers’ pail to
the box, weighing of bulk butter,
salt pork and sauer kraut, the
drawing of long iron nails from
the heavy crates of merchandise;
opening the spigots of barrels of
vinegar, molasses, kerosene, re
moving “Queensware” from the
deep bedding of excelsior, meas
uring bolts of calico and sheeting,
and struggling with stiff wrapping
paper and strong twipe instead
of the convenient paper bags of to
day.
There was the particular weigh
ing of unpackaged groceries, such
as “green” coffee. The advent of
packaged roasted Arbuckles cof
fee was a sensational “lift.” The
cutting of cheese by hand could
not be figured exactly to suit both
the customer and the merchant.
Charge accounts were difficult to
administer. Paying for groceries
and drygoods was often a matter
of memory. Receipts were too
often missing. The advent of “cash
and carry” was a godsend in small
towns. There were two cycles of
business—the years of rain and
crops and the years of drought
and grasshoppers.

BOYS ARE
THAT WAY
By J. M. ELEAZER
Chapin was our nearest town,
four miles away through the
stone hills of the Dutch Fork. It
was the mecca of childhood’s
fondest fancy. It had some 5 or
6 stores, a railroad station and
water tank, and a pasture
wherein we played ball.
From early age. Colonel
Frick’s drug store was my main
point of interest. It was not a
drug store as we know it today.
It was a sort of general store,
specializing in patent medicines;
a glass showcase carried the
only assortment of penny can
dies I had ever seen; and the
milk-shaker was a contraption
turned by hand.
This emporium had the first
soda-water to come to the stone
hills too. We would help them
fill the tank with water, hitch
it to a tank of gas, and rock the
tank as the gas was turned into
it. With this fizz water, bright
colored drinks of orange, red
and yellow were made for a
nickle.
Miss Fannie, the Colonel’s sis
ter, was the one and only clerk, f
Her speciality was “pineapple
’ice.” She shaved the ice from a
large block by hand and fillled
the glass. Then she poured
simply syrup over it and added
a heaping spoonful of crushed
pine apple. This was stirred in
to a mouth-watering consisten
cy in that frosted glass and set
before the customer. How I
dreamed of that delight, as I
looked down the long rows of
grassy cotton during the week.
But, alas, all was bliss as I sat
there, with clean overalls, on,
on Saturday afternoon and par
took of that delight before the
ball game started.
Next week I’ll tell you of the
clock in there that collected
the money and paid out prem
iums.
