several of these great move¬ j
ments, including the struggle of
this country for independence,
the abolition of slavery, the es¬

system and many others, adding
that success is worth the price.
Judging from the applause the

Jailed For 17
Years, Man

;ath William Hagg, a railway ex¬
Tress worker, during a robbery in
1936.
Witnesses gave police descrip¬
tions of the two men and, sev-
(e al days after the killing, Pugh
and Fowler were arrested.
After six days of alleged bru¬
tality, from Sept. 17-23, Pugh and
Fowler confessed. The confession
served as the only evidence in
their trial. Pugh was sentenced to
Ffe imprisonment, and Fowler,
ho died in prison in 1949, was
given 199 years.
In 1951, however, Atty. George
Leighton, formerly an NAACP
counsel here, began investigating
Pugh’s case and discovered that
arresting officers had suppressed
■ ital evidence that would have
cleared the two nien during their
‘rial.
, "That evidence suppressed by
me arresting officers,” Attorney
l eighton said, “was a descriptio n
of the two men who actually kill-
el and robbed Hagg. Police, set
on solving the case, since they
were under pressure from the rail¬
way company, realized they had
arrested the wrong men and sup-,
pressed the documented descrip¬
tions from the jury to get a con-
vietion.
Pugh was 20 years of age at
the time of his sentence.
In April, Senator Fred .J. Smith
of Chicago introduced a bill at
:he 69th General Assembly of the
Illinois State Legislature, asking
the state to award Pugh $51,000
•ompensation for the time he was
illegally imprisoned.
The bill, guided by Senator
.Fnrith, parsed both houses and
was signed ,.v Governor William
Stratton.
Pugh said his futre plans are
Indefinite at this time.

damages resulting from being
ejected from the bus and a blow
she received in the abdomen when
struck by the driver. Mrs. Fleuf
ming took a seat in the white
section of the bus and was ordered
by the driver into the rear of the
bus in loud, abusive and threaten¬
ing tone. She became frightened
and feared further humiliation and
bodily harm and at the next cor¬
ner she attempted to follow a
white passenger out of the front
door. The driver ordered her to
leave by the rear door and struck
her in the stomach to furthei
force her to obey his order.
The case was originally dismiss¬
ed by U. S. District Judge George
Bell Timmerman on the ground
that the separate but eoual doc¬
trine of Plessy vs. Ferguson was
still in control as to interstate
commerce and that the decision
of the U. S’. Supreme Court in
the school segregation cases did
not apply in the area of trans¬
portation.
Attorney for the bus company
argued that federal jurisdiction
was not applicable because the
bus driver an officer of the state
When he was enforcing the seg¬
regation regulation on the bus
he was not acting- for the com¬
pany but as an officer of the
state.
South Carolina statutes provide
for the segregation of the races
on motor vehicles in both city
and intrastate carriers and em¬
powers bus drivers or operators
with special police authority to
arrest persons who violate the
bus segregation laws.
Attorney Robert L. Carter who
argued the appeal on behalf of
Mrs. Flemming declared that
there could be.-np question as to
the jurisdiction of the federal
court. He contended that the bus
driver in enforcing the state seg¬
regation statute was acting as
both bus driver and officer
the state. Mr. Carter contended
also that the bus company
charged by the South Carolina
statute with the duty to
force the law. He argued
that the recent Supreme Court
decisions had swept away all
port for the separate but
doctrine even as applied to
state commerce.
In handing down the
today, the Fourth Circuit Courl
of Appeals struck down the
Carolina state segregation
ute, reversing the district court’s
decision and remanded it
to t^e lower court.
The decision in this case is
highly significant in that it
that segregation on local street¬
cars, bus^s and other means of
transportation can no 'longer be
enforced. The Fourth Circuit
Court of Appeals has jurisdiction
over the States of South Carolina,
North Carolina, West Virginia,
and Maryland. Unless the U. S.
Supreme Court reverses this de¬
cision in these states, the circuit
court ruling of today can be ap-
plied.

Since the mulattoes were run
out of Haiti by the blanks, New
Orleans has been socially upset
by who’s black, who’s white”
question. On March 10, eight cou¬
ples were indicted on charges of
intermarrying.
One defending attorney has
hreatened to take his case to the
'I. S. Supreme Court, to test the
'egality of the ban of interracial
narriage. But numerous a n d
.rominent officials here seriously
doubt that there will ever be a
real investigation to definitely
liscover who is black or white.
New Orleans has been noted
(own through history as the freest
Dixie city with interracial cohabi-
ation, and where whites have
athered children by Negro wo¬
men and provided them with fi
nancial assistance and education.
It has been rumored that many
rf New Orleans’ most successful
■itizens, considered white, have
‘coffee in their ' >od.” Hundreds
of light-skinned Negroes have
passed the color line to obtain
and keep jobs and security.
“Many Negroes,” said one offi¬
cial, “have completely lost their I j
original racial identity, but at
aniily reunions held in deep secre¬
cy, there are faces which adorn
every shade from white to black.”

19134, in which Prince Edward
■ounty school authorities were
forbidden to refuse the admit¬
tance of children to the schools
on account of race.
Today's decree of the district
court said the injunction ap-
plie “from and after such time
as they (officials) have made
arrangements for admission > of
children to the schools on a
non-discriminatory basis with
all deliberate speed.” and fur¬
ther said:
“But, the court finds that it
would not be practicable be¬
cause of adjustments and re¬
arrangements required for the
purpose, to place the public
school system of Prince Edward
County upon a non-discrimina¬
tory basis before the commence¬
ment of the regular school term
in September, 1965.”
Attorneys representing the
National Association for the Ad¬
vancement of Colored People
and the original petitioners In
the Prince Edward case, asked
the court earlier today to order
an end to discrimination within
the next two months. ,
Attorney General J. Lindsay
Almond, Jr., said after the de¬
cision: (
“This clearly gives the right
to operate segregated schools in
Prince Edward county for an¬
other year.”
The decree of the court in
this case followed a like deci¬
sion last week by a federal
court in which it efused to set
any definite time for the inte¬
gration of the schools, of Sum-
merton county, S. C., but stat¬
ed that they must adhere to
the May, 1954, ruling of the Su¬
preme Court to integrate the
schools with “all possible haste.”
