The United States District court will hear arguments on a motion for sum- mary judgment in the case of Negro firemen against the Sea-i board Air Line Railroad and the I Brotherhood of Locomotive Da- glneers and Firemen in Septem- ber. The plaintiff charges racial 'discrimination against both defendants.

The firemsn is David of Raleigh. N.C, a veteran railroad worker. His case has been in-the courts since 1M7. Hinton contends that Negroes are systematically being discriminated against by the railroad because the Brotherhood oCXoco-motive Engineers and firemen Is the sole bargaining agent with the railroad and that the brotherhood Is an exclusive white which has a policy of eliminating Negroes from firemens jobs wherever possible. No Negro fireman, ran ever hope to be promoted to engineer under the system operated by the brotherhood and the railroad a joint agreement, according to contentions in the suit.

The announcement came five months after Thur-good Marshall, NAACP special counsel, returned from an intensive investigation in Korea of the courts martial of Negro servicemen and charged that these cases are rooted in the Jim Crow policies still persisting in the Army."

Harten, pastor of Brooklyns Holy Trinity, revealed this week that the former Palestine mediator and Nobel Prize winner, will be invited to address the convention on Booker T.

Bunche, should he accept the invitation would be following a long linis of. distinguished, speakers at the meeting. The program, held on the Friday night of the ennventions annual meeting, was for years addressed by Dr. Booker T. Washington.

If one or two are strong enough to hold out even against this, the best that can be accomplished is a hung jury. The chance of getting another such juror is almost nil. Walkers only chance was to be proved Innocent beyond a shadow of a doubt Peculiar Clirumstancss The peculiar circumstances of the case would not permit this.

The prosecution most certainly did not prove Its case beyond a reasonable doubt, as most white people who attended the trial and who were not faced with making the decision in the eyes of their neighbors, freely admitted. There is a latent, inverted prej udice which makes a- juror who really thinks he la fair-minded prone to believe that the accused is guilty; prone to discount a Negros testimony when it conflicts with a white person's; prone to believe, the 'prosecution side rather than- the defense; prone to believe white experts1 testimony as against Negro experts'; prone to discount even white testimony if it. is for the accused, as paid testimony or ss coming from white trash" or Negrophlles. This is the same prejudice that forces a Negro to be the best qualiifed to get a job; forces him to be head and shoulders above the rest to hold the job much less g.Ct promoted. To be forced to work at jobs other than those for which one is qualified or to remain in the lower brackets regardless of experience or skill is tragic enough.

To lose ones life or liherty on prejudice, conscious or unconscious, is catastrophic. Sounds hopeless? Well, the best that can be said is that there'a a long, tough job ahead.

Fois Trial" Sgt. Walker, technically, had as fair a trial as anyone accused of murder and rape could have. Yet his trial was a farce and a mockery of justice because he was pre-judged subconsciously in the mind of each juror before any evidence was ever heard because he was a Negro. Even if the defense Is lucky enough to get one or two tough minded jurors who will drown this subconscious conditioning by remaining coldly analytical of the facts as presented, the pressures of small community life CASH IMMEDIATELY When You Need It Quick Liberal Loans on Jewelry Tools binoculars porting lectrlc Motors 1 5uns Silverware Cameras Radios Luggago Musical Instruments Sewing Machines Rifles Microscopes Etc.
