Assistant Attorney General J. Lee Rankin was allotted 1 hour on behalf of the federal government, which has said it is taking an "objective" attitude. Attorney General Herbert Brownell Jr. has maintained that when Congress enacted the 14th Amendment of the Constitution it intended to wipe out all state laws based on race. The amendment forbids states to deny any person the "equal protection of the laws." Brownell added, however, that historic records are sketchy as to whether the legislators considered school segregation In particular.

Legal questions for the court to decide are: Does the "separate but equal" doctrine it laid down in an 1896 transportation case still apply? Has the court the power to order states to Integrate their segregated school systems? Did the 14th Amendment contemplate outlawing segregation? What a Wonderful Gift for 1 i cases before the high bench, declared that the 14th Amendment was intended to raise the Negro to "complete equality with whites "and it said so." Marshall, a tall, dignified advocate, is top attorney for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "Any legislation setting up caste system is of itself in violation of the 14th he said. T. Justin Moore, Richmond, who represents Virginia, cited as a "practical condition" for the court's consideration th fact that 10,500,000 of the 15 million United States Negroes live in the 17 states having compulsory school segregation statutes. VYou can't talk about thin problem in a vacuum," he told the court.

"There are practical considerations. One third of the population of these states Is Negro." ARGUMENTS WEIGHTED WITH LEGAL HISTORY Yesterday's arguments contained a large chunk of constitutional history because the court asked for this background last June when it ordered the five test cases reargued this fall The suits were started by groups of Negro parents against school authorities in Virginia, South Carolina, Kansas, Delaware and the District of Columbia. After Rankin's argument the Kansas, District of Columbia and Delaware cases will be heard. Arguments are expected to continue tomorrow. Rankin will tell the court it has the power to outlaw segregation.

The government is not urging outright that the court abolish segregation, but contends the court has that power and that the purpose of the 14th Amendment was "to secure for Negroes full and complete equality and to abolish all legal distinctions based on race or color."
