unsuspected streak of humor, or,
he thinks the American people
have a short memory. He is pos
ing now as an apostle of abun
dance. In organizing a “new par-1
ty” to run him for President, he
explains that this party “must I
stand for a positive peace pro
gram of abundance and security,
not scarcity and war.” As the new
deal secretary of agriculture, back
in the ’30’s, he was ordering the
slaughter of little pigs, taking mil-'
lions of acres of land out of cul
tivation, paying farmers to pro
duce less promoting a program of
scarcity to boost prices.
Former Premier Tojo says Jap
an acted in self defense in mak
ing war against the United State?
That is like a bandit claiming he
acted in self defense in shooting a
victim who resisted robbery. What
Tojo calls “a war of self-exist
ence” was downright interiational
banditry. He might make out a
better case by pleading “not guilty
by reason of insanity.” It could be
argued more reasonably that he
must have been crazy to think
Japan could whip the United
States.
Tojo s alibi for Pearl Harbor is
downright fishy. He says he trust
ed his foreign minister—Shigenori
Togo—to give the United States
adequate advance notice of that
attack. He can’t really expect any
body to believe that. If the Japs
hadn’t been certain they would
catch the American defenders off
guard, they never would have
struck at Pearl Harbor. Without
the element of surprise, that at
tack wouldn’t have been consid
ered.

Oklahoma Refuses
To Accept High
Court Edict |
NORMAN, Okla. {&)—'The only
Negro ever to attempt to enroll in
the University of Oklahoma since
it was founded in 1892 was to try
again Monday — bolstered this
time by a U. S. Supreme Court de
cision.
She is Mrs_ Ada Lois Sipuel
Fisher, 23, of Chickasha, Okla., a
graduate of Langston university,
the state’s only institution of high
er education for Negroes. I
Denied admission when she first
sought to enroll in the university’s I
law school two years ago, she ap- i
pealed unsuccessfully to the state
district court and state supreme
court which upheld the state’s
laws requiring racial segregation
in the schools.
The National Association for
the Advancement of Colored Peo
ple carried the case to the U. S.
Supreme court which last Mon
day ruled that the state must
make “equal education facilities"
available to Negroes as promptly
as they are for white students.
OKLAHOMA CITY </P) — The
legal battle of a 23-year-old Ne,
gro woman to enroll in the Uni
versity of Oklahoma law school
yesterday was headed back to the
United States Supreme Court,
which only last week directed the
state to establish equal law school
facilities for Negroes and whites.
A Negro school of law estab
lished here in a surprise move
Monday by the Oklahoma state
regents for higher education was
branded by Negro leaders as a
“Jim Crow law school.”
At a mass meeting here, attend
ed by some 600 Negroes, James
E. Stewart, president of the local
chapter of the National Associa
tionfor the Advancement of Col
ored People, said the association’s
attorneys will go back to the Su
preme Court to contend that
“some unit of the state govern
ment is in contempt” of the court’s
ruling.
Mrs. Ada Lois Sipuel Fisher,
the Negro seeking admission to
the university’s law school, will
not attempt to enroll in the newly
created law school but will stand
on her application for enrollment
j at the state university, Roscoe
Dunjee, editor of a Negro news
paper here and a national direc
tor in the NAACP, said.
An honor graduate of Langston
university, Mrs. Fisher first!
j sought to enroll in the state uni-j
versity law school two years ago.
j Denied admission because of the
! state’s laws requiring separate
1 schools for Negroes, she appealed
to the state courts and finally to
the U. S. Supreme Court.
To Hear Musicians
Tell About Petrillo
WASHINGTON (A3)—Chairman
Hartley fR.-N. J.> said yesterday
he will call on the leaders of some
of the nation’s “name” bands to
tell the House labor committee
whether they like the way James
C. Petrillo is running their union.
Hartley told reporters he has
had many letters from “rank and
file members” of the American
Federation of Musicians “protest
ing some of the things Petrillo has
done.”
He declined to name any of the
band leaders or musicians who
will appear, but said they will be
questioned on their opinions of
the AFM’s new ban on musical
recordings after the committee has
quizzed Petrillo himself today.
