Busy Monday

This week, in one of its newsiest Opinion Mondays, the Supreme Court: P: Outlawed the Jim Crow segregation of Negroes in railroad dining cars on interstate trips. P: Ordered the University of Texas to admit Heman Sweatt, Negro, to its all-white law school, on the ground that the Negro law school that Texas had set up was not the equivalent of Texas' law school for whites.

P: Ordered the University of Oklahoma to stop segregating Graduate Student G. W. McLaurin, a Negro, in its classrooms. He had been admitted to classes with whites, but first put in a little anteroom. Later, like 23 other Negroes at Oklahoma, he was simply seated in a different row from the whites.

P: Gave the Federal Government "full dominion and power" over the oil-rich tide-lands off the coasts of Texas and Louisiana.

P: Denied aliens jailed abroad by U.S. authorities the right to apply for court hearings in the U.S. The case involved 21 German civilians tried in Nanking in 1946 by a U.S. military commission for engaging in military activities against the U.S. in China after Germany surrendered.
