First Plea for Constitutional

University Lost by

BY H. S. HUGHES

AUSTIN, Texas ~ ANP
The Texas Supreme court, in a.
special vacation period last
week, refused to take jurisdiction in an original mardamus
proceedings brought by Dr. Everett, H. Givens, Austin dentist,
to force the establishment of a
Negro university in Austin, according to constitutional provision and popular vote of the peole in 1882.

The supreme court did not
pass on the merits of Dr. Givens~ contention, but it directed
that such a proceeding would
have to originate ir the lower
courts of the state.

~Dr. Givens, through his attorney, Kenneth Lamkin, had filed
a motion to mandamus the board~
of regents of the University af |
Texas to locate a Negro yniversity in Austin, comparable to
that of the University of Texas,
om the contention that the Texas constitution requires that a
Negro branch university be lo4 cated in Austin, pursuant to a
vote of the people in 1882.

Shortly - after. Dr. Givens~ application was filed in the Téxas
~Supreme court, Negro citizens
from all over Texas upon invitation of a bi-racia]. committee

~appointed. by Gov. Coke Stevens

Texas Negroes

to study proposed sites for a
Negro university made mandatory by a court decision, expressed, without exceptions,
their desire that the university
be established in Austin ~ according to constitutional provisions. Never before has there
been recorded such solidarity
amorg Negroes in matters affecting their general welfare.
The contention seems to be,
however, whether the State of
Texas will establish before Dec.
17, the deadline set by the
court; for the establishment of
an accredited Negro university
of the admittance of a Negro to
the University of Texas. law
school, a_ statutory institution
dependert upon legislative appropriations, or a ~constitutional~
institution which is independent
and which draws its apropria- |
tions from the permanent funds
of the Unriversity of Texas..
According to Atty. Lamkins,
the suit will probably re refiled.
in a short time in the district
court and, if need be, taken to
the United States Supreme court.
Texas Negroes have recently set
a goal of $50,000 to be used in
the fight for equal educational

opportunities in public schools:

So The Story Goes...

_ By JUNE WILLIAMS

~8000000O0OOSFOSOOESOOORE:

Ani a recent survey, it ~has bicen found that many Negroes
in the past ten years, have become very ~clanish~~ in theit commercial enterprises. A few years back, one can remiember

' that most colored buinesses were owned and managed by one
and the same persons.

Although inadequate, the trust could

not be placed into the efficient
hands of others. Then came
the t'me a few years later when
they broke down the seemingly, impenetrable barrier and
began to employ managers.

Today, one will find if he
delves into the activities of colored businesses, that the majority of the Negro establishments, are owned by more
than one individual and man
aged by another.

This being true ~ and
the Negroes have found it very
profitable ~ could it not be
that we can look to the near
future and see the Negro as a
combined political power, as
well as a commercial giant.

AME Members Need A New

DETROIT ~ ANP ~ ~Me>xbers of the AME church n7:l a

That serftiment was expr ss>1

Toodle, trustee of Beth?] AMZ

church for 22 years, in an open|

letter to the bishops, ministers
and laymen of the AME church
following newspaper accounts of
the rerent altercation at a bishop~s meeting in New York.

He called~ the meetirg, which
ended in violent fighting, an
~outrageous blot~ on the ~history
of Allen~s church, b2cause the
bishops who preach love and
boast of Godly judgment could
not sit down in the spirit of
Christ and give one of them the
New York corfference.

~The laws-of tha church were
largely made by the bishops
who rule the general conference
ond now the lawmakers, our
~thers in God, are hurling charg
es of drunkenness, dishonesty,
stez ling, and immortality at each
uther while the church reads the
headlines, shocked, discouraged)
and almost hopeless.~

Dr. Toodle said that ~the hope

fellow churchmen that ~many

on the Atlanta university faculty from 1933 until 1942, when
he left to become senior economist for OPA and later price
executive for the Virgin islands
from 1942 until 1944. In the

acted as OPA liaison officer with
the Agricultural Marketing administration in arranging shipments. of food and esentials into
Puerto Rico and the Virgin islands during the war.

In 1939 Dr. Dean served on
the faculty of the City college
of New York as lecturer in economies. In 1940 and 1941 he was
consultant to the National ReSources Planning board, a New

In jointing the United Nations

at leaving the Urban league
movement and praised its present leadership. He pointed out.| that in his forthcoming work he

Dr. Toodle rapped the ~big club
