RULING TEST:
CORE Plans Southern 'Freedom Test'
By IRIS BROWN
. I
James Farmer, national direc-
tor of the Congress on Racial
Equality, Sunday night described
CORE's plan to test the Supreme
Court's recent bus station deseg-
regation decision.
CORE's current major project is
a "Freedom Ride" through the
Deep South to test Supreme Court
rulings against segregation in in-
terstate transportation and at bus
terminals, he said at the Guild
House.
Integrated groups riding from
Washington, D.C. to New Orleans
will refuse to be segregated on the
buses, at lunch counters or in rest
rooms.
"We want to point up the lack
of enforcement of the Supreme
Court rulings and to encourage
people who are opposed to segre-
gation to repudiate it. Segregation
Lictense?
Members of Tau Kappa Epsi-
lon have found that police have
no respect for fire trucks-at
least not for their fire truck.
The fraternity, proud owner
of a fire truck--1926 vintage,
retired by the Grand Rapids
Fire Department-found itself
the recipient of a traffic ticket.
It seems some of the broth-
ers, out for a spin with their
dates, ran afoul of Patrolman
Jan Soumala, who inquired as
to the whereabouts of their li-
cense plates.
The riders told him they had
applied for historical plates,
but as yet they had not re-
ceived them.
Soumala -was unimpressed,
however, and he ticketed the
"firemen" for driving without a
license and restricted their
"firefighting" to the grounds of
the fraternity house.
Dickinson Dies
In California
Prof. Edwin M. Dickinson, for-
mer member. of the Law School
faculty, died Saturday in St.
Helena, Calif.
He was appointed professor of
law at the University in 1919, ser-
ving thus until 1933 when he re-
signed to become professor of
international law at the Univer-
sity of California.
He was appointed dean of the
California jurisprudence school in
1935, and he held that position
until 1948, when he became pro-
fessor of law at the University of
Pennsylvania.
He retired from the faculty of
California's Hastings College in
1958.
Grobstein To Talk
On Bio-Sciences
The Institute of Science and
Technology will present Dr. Clif-
ford Grobstein of the Stanford
University biological sciences de-
partment, speaking on "Micro-
Environmental Influences in Cel-
lular Differentiation" at 4 p.m.
today in the Natural Science Aud.

cannot last long if people refuse
to abide by it," Farmer explained.
While progress is being made
in the South, he believes that the
northern problem is growing more
acute. He cited as causes the mi-
gration of rural southern Negroes
into northern urban areas. The
limited Negro areas are character-
ized by congestion, poor accom-
modations and high rents.
The slogan of a Chicago real-
tor, "Rent to Negroes and double
your profits," is possible because
owners break up large apartments,
lower upkeep rates and raising
rents when Negroes move into a
community.
Farmer gave several examples of
how groups have worked to com-
bat this key problem of housing.
In the Hyde: lark-Kenwood area
of Chicago, for example, people
formed a group which welcomed
Negroes into the area, saw that
zoning ordinances were enforced
and were able to form a fairly
stable integrated community.
Other Tactics
Other tactics to fight discrimi-
nation are to have a white person
purchase a home for a Negro in
a segregated area or to conduct
test cases in which a Negro and
a white each try to rent the same
apartment.
On the question of civil dis-
obedience which sometimes occurs
in CORE action, Farmer said, "I
Party .Leaders
Tio Debate Politics
The University chapter of the
Michigan Citizenship Clearing
House will sponsor a discussion
and debate between Neil Staebler,
Democratic National Committee-
man for Michigan, and William
Boughton, representing the Re-
publican State; Central Committee,
at,7:30 p.m. today in Rm. 3N of
the Michigan Union. The topic

think laws ought to be obeyed
unless a person cannot obey con-
scientiously. When a law is evil,
one has the right and responsibil-
ity to violate it. When we prac-
tice civil disobedience we accept
the consequences."
He distinguished between civil
disobedience of an individual who
may break , bad law on moral
grounds and that of a state, which
as a political sub-division should
not disobey Federal law.
No ERght
,For example, he said that a
parent in New Orleans has the
right to keep his child out of
school, but that the state has no
right, to pass law's which defy the
Supreme Court.
He explained the principle of
non-violent action which is based
primarily on the refusal to hate
SUPER
and the refusal to compromise
with principle in accepting injus-
tice.
"Non - violence assumes that
some spark of sameness and con-
science may be appealed to in all
persons through sensitive meth-
ods," he said.
He also explained the Negro na-
tionalist movement expressed in
such groups as the Black Mus-
lims, which has recently acceler-
ated as a result of the violence
of southern segregationists and
the emerging of the African na-
tions,
These groups call for a black
self-sufficient state and a rival
black economy. "Their appeal to
Negro supremacy touches some-
thing basic to the hearts of many
Negroes. But integration is the
best way to defeat them," he said.
