T11 M i E-AN J.t1Y: t~t .ir' .i. :l 4-t; Court Upholds Far-Reaching Helped in War Implications By Psychology Negro 's Vote in Texas Primary CE1R4 LE 1FRA N4.AS: Prof. Koella Announces New French Plays for Production 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, Leaves Local Unit Lt. Clarence E.

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. Visitors See U' Medical School Five members of a commission to consider plans for the expansion of the University of North Carolina med- ical school and the establishment of a new general hospital in Chapel Hill, N.C., visited Ann Arbor today and yesterday. ' They conferred with Dr. Harley Haynes, director of University Hos- pital, and Dean Albert C. Fursten- berg of the medical school on gen- eral policies of medical education and care. Appointed by the governor of North Carolina, the five men are: Dr. W. R. Berryhill, dean of the University of North Carolina's school of medicine; W. D. Carmichael, comptroller of the University of North Carolina; Dr. Paul Whitaker, president of the state medical society; Dr. Donnell Cobb and Robert Deyton, state budget di- rector. b 'T d I v d b t v e i k f RUSSIAN DRIVES POINT TO KEY AXIS CENTER-Black arrows locate main Red Army advances with outline arrows indication possible continuation of the drives toward important centers in German-held territory.

BUY WAR BONDS I --- -. one OuC o MAGIC! c v/ 4i- .- '- - ,,. ; 7/ ra> By The Associated Press 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. Daily Tryout Staff Meets There will be a meeting of the members of The Daily editorial tryout staff at 3 p.m. today in the Student Publications Building. '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. ,, V Avukah-Hillel Meets The Avukah-Hillel study group will hold its weekly meeting at 8:30 p.m. today in the Hillel Foundation 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. Friday in Hill Auditorium. 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.
