Decision Says Color
Cannot Stop Men from
Choosing Own Rulers$
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, April 3.-The Su-
preme Court today upset a decision of
nine years' standing and ruled that
Negroes have the right to vote in
Texas Democratic primary elections,
prompting Justice Roberts to protest
that the tribunal's opinions are get-
ting to be like a railroad ticket good
only for one day in one train.
Eight-to-One Decision
The eight-to-one decision, stating
that "the great privilege of choosing
his rulers may not be denied a man
by the state because of his color," ov-
erturned the Court's unanimous opin-
ion in 1935 sustaining the exclusion
of Negroes from participation in a
Texas Democratic primary.
The decision has far-reaching im-
plications for the South, where suc-
cess in a primary usually is tanta-
mount to election, but whether it will
lead to any great increase immedate-
ly in the number of Negro voters is
considered doubtful. The decision
does not touch upon other barriers
existing in various parts of the South,
such as poll taxes, educational tests,
etc.
Negro Denied Vote
Specifically involved in today's
litigation was Lonnie E. Smith, a Ne-
gro who contended he was denied the
right to vote in a 1940 primary by
Houston, Tex., election judges. There
are an estimated 571,000 Negroes of
voting age in Texas.
Of the .present members of the
Court, only Chief Justice Stone and
Justice Roberts were on the bench at
the time of the earlier decision.
Lt. Highlen, USNR,

Lt. Clarence E. Highlen, USNR, has
recently been detached from the Navy'
V-12 Unit at the University to report
as Executive Officer of the Navy V-12

Lt. Highlen served in the capacity

Gremlins Kept Away
From Combat Flyers
With Tests, Controls
Psychology is helping to keep mil-
itary flyers at maximum efficiency
in this war, Prof. Walter R. Miles of
the medical school at Yale University
said yesterday.
Speaking before the Michigan
chapter of the Society of Sigma Xi,
Dr. Miles said "gremlins" are being
kept away from airmen through psy-
chological tests and controls. Psy-
chologists help flyers to add their
improved human performance'to the
mechanical perfection of the planes
themselves, he said.
The decompression chamber is
standard equipment used by psychol-
ogists and other experts to aid in
solving the many psycho-physiologi-
cal problems connected with adjust-
ing the human organism to flight,
especially at high altitudes, Dr. Miles
said. This apparatus can produce a
large range of simulated altitude ef-
fects which are studied and evaluat-
ed.
Among the problems being worked
upon is the psychology of vision. Dif-
ficulties of vision involved in landing
of planes and night flying are re-
ceiving much attention, Dr. Miles
said.

SARDINIA-Here on Sardinia Am-
erican airmen have built themselves
the best overseas nests they've ever
had.
This gang of B26 Marauder boys
still fly the same missions they were
flying when I saw them in Tunisia
six months ago. They're still fight-
ing the same war, still racking up the
same record for laying their eggs on
precision targets and still, for the
most part, bringing their ships home
safely despite flak holes, wrecked
controls and severed props. But be-
tween missions they live a better life
than in those days in Tunisia when
they literally wallowed in mud, their
tent areas were quagmires, their
clothes and bedding were soaked half
the time.
Here in Sardinia there isn't much
to do but at least they can live like
human beings. Many of them still
stick to tents but they're better
Jackson Police
Uncover Plot
Charge Youths with
Subversive ActivitiesI
JACKSON, April 3 --('P)- State
and city police officers pondered to-
night what action, if any, might be
taken against a small group of high
school youths whom they charged
with organizing a "secret society"
with an immediate program of sub-
versive activities and a long range
objective of "seizing the government"
in 15 or 20 years.
To date their activities, the officers
said, had been confined to petty
thievery, the printing of anti-racial
pamphlets and the holding of meet-
ings in the public library and in the
attic of the home of their leader, a
16-year-old.

Deadline for Petitions
Friday is the deadline for handing
in petitions for the 20 positions open
on the Women's War Council, ac-
cording to Marilyn Mayer, '44, Judi-
ciary Council president, interviewing
for those positions to be held April
10-14 and April 17-20.

'U' Debate Scheduled
With the entire 16-member squad
participating, University debate teams
will hold a tournament with Wayne
University tomorrow afternoon in
Angell Hall.
Two rounds of four debates each
are scheduled to begin at 3 and 4
p.m. The contests are non-decision,
and are open to the public, Dr. Ken-
neth G. Hance, debate coach, an-
nounced.

tents in improved locations and
they stay dry.
They have mats on the wooden
floor, little stoves, electric lights from
put-put motors, and plenty of warm,
dry bedding.
Some have adobe or brick founda-
tions and side walls for their tents,
the only canvas being the roof. Others
have bulwarked the tents with adobe
wind and water breaks around the
bases.
And still others-both officers and
enlisted men-have built adobe hous-
es or had them built. They're econ-
omical and well worth the money.
Except for the foreman who is an
expert at laying bamboo roofs and
charges $1.20 a day, the Sardinians
building the house are paid a dollar
a day and that's 44 cents more than
they charged when the boys first
came here.
"It's inflation," grins Middleton,
Better not let Roosevelt hear about
it."
"Inflation, my eye," says Lind-
ahl, "It's sweatshop labor; better
not let John L. Lewis hear about it
or he'll send somebody over here
to organize the Sardinian brick-
layers."
When it's all built, with mat-cov-
ered floor and a big fireplace, the
building will cost the foursome about
75 dollars and it will be the nearest
thing to a home they've had overseas.
Prof. Christian
To Give Good
Friday Recital
In keeping with a tradition of the
past decade, Prof. Palmer Christian,
University organist, will present a
program of Good Friday music ap-
propriate to that day at 4:15 p.m.

This annual hour of Holy Week'
music affords opportunity to many,
especially those who may be unable
to attend services in the various
churches, to give attention to the sig-
nificance of Good Friday.
Prof. Christian will highlight the
organ recital with two Bach "Chorale
Preludes" from which come the fam-
iliar refrains "O Sacred Head Now
Wounded" and "When on the Cross
the Saviour Hung." Other selections
on the program include a "Toccata"
by Frescobaldi, the third act of Wag-
ner's "Parsifal," and numbers by
Karg-Elert, Malling, Bossi and Du-
l pre.
Selma Smith
To Give Recital
Sonatines by Ravel and Kabalew-
sky, also a Beethoven "Sonata" and
"Variations Serieuses, Op. 54" by
Mendelssohn will be presented by
Selma Smith, '44SM, on her recital
at 8:30 p.m. Thursday in the Lydia
Mendelssohn Theatre.
Miss Smith, a member of Mu Phi
Epsilon, is at present a pupil of
Joseph Brinkman, having formerly
studied with Mary Fishburne and
Ava Comin Case.
She is giving the recital in partial
fulfillment of the requirements for
her B.M. degree.
