Attorneys for the National Association for the dvancement of Colored People, headed by Thurgood Marshall, special counsel from the New York office, regard this as an important step in the long fight against disfranchisement. Judge Kennerly denied the defendant's motion to strike certain portions of the complaint filed by Hasgett and his NAACP attorneys and also denied the motion to dismiss the complaint. The court ruled "defendant's motion to dismiss brings forward questions of law which should be decided on the evidence, not on the pleadings .. " In all previous white prinlary cases the lower courts have dismissed the cases on pleadings and no evidence could be put in. The NAACP ,expects on Apri114 to put in evidence to support the claim that Negroes are barred unconstitutionally from participating in elections in Texas. The fundamental theory upon which this attacy is being made is that the primary is an integral part of the election machinery of the state, that the law governing primary elections in Texas is in most respects identical with that governing general elections and that these individual defendants were appointed persuant to statutory authority with powers and duties and to perform practically identical functions to those prescribed by statute for officials in general elections.

These lines are spoken by the persecute;! Jewish barber, lately escaped from a concentration camp, who is mistaken for the Dictator Hynklc, and bring the great picture to an inspiring close. The speech is reprinted from "Variety.") I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an emperor. That's not my business. I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone-if possible,-Jew, GBntile-black man-white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are !ill:e that. We want to live by each othel''s happiness-not by each other's misery. We don't want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide ior everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way. Greed has poisoned men's souls-has barricaded into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that give:s abundance has left us in want.
