Court Empowerd To
Strike Down Racial
Segregation In Schools
WASHINGTON, UP —The Jus
tice Department told the Supreme
Court Friday that the court is
fully empowered to strike down
racial segregation in public
schools.
In response to an invitation of
the court, where five school seg
regation cases are pending, Atty.
Gen. Herbert Brownell and his
chief aides filed a brief assert
ing that the 14th amendment to
the Constitution “compels a state
to grant the benefits of public
education to all its people equally,
with regard to differences of race
or color.”
The brief said the question is
not “whether there is equality as
between schools,” adding: “the
Constiution requires that there be
equality as between persons.”
The cases before the court are
from Kansas, South Carolina, Vir
ginia, Delaware and the District
of Columbia. Fourteen other states
require segregation of Negro and
white pupils and three others per
mit it.
