Moreau Agrees With Frankfurter
Dean F. J. Moreau of the School of Law today agreed with Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter that the segregation in the schools issue before the court is a matter of precedent.
Justice Frankfurter, a former Harvard professor, said the "separate but equal" yardstick in racial matters has been firmly entrenched over the years by long practice, state laws, and decisions of both state and federal courts.
"This historic structure cannot be casually struck down," he said.
Dr. Moreau agreed with Justice Frankfurter said said the precedents in the matter are that the court has always said segregation is proper if facilities are equal.
"The court has been called upon to reanalyze a very momentous question," the dean said, "which everyone knows must be interpreted in the light of changing times."
Dr. Moreau referred to a statement by Supreme Court Justice Harold H. Burton who said that the Constitution is a "living document which ought to be interpreted in the light of changing times." He suggested that a different situation might make unconstitutional in 1952 what was not so in former years.
The Supreme Court took under advisement yesterday five cases challenging the constitutionality of racial segregation in public schools. The state of Kansas is involved in one of the cases. The others are South Carolina, Virginia, Delaware, and the District of Columbia.
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which spearheaded the four state cases, wants the nine justices to find that segregation is unconstitutional in itself, no matter how excellent a particular school may be.
State education authorities hope the bench will agree to perpetuate the present system by ruling that the issue is one for legislative bodies, not the courts, to decide.

Seoul, Korea—(U.P.)—Weary South Korean infantrymen recaptured Big and Little Nori hills on the Western front today in savage, close-quarter fighting only to lose them three hours later to 700 screaming Chinese.
Both Communist attacks hit the ROK's last night after a thundering Red artillery barrage.
South Korean troops had won Little Nori hill earlier in their sixth counter-attack of the day. They reported victory after bloody, hand-to-hand combat with knives, knees, and fists in enemy-held bunkers and trenches.
In each fight, the Koreans held their posts until after the Chinese moved into the trenches for close-quarter combat.
Other ROK's crept northward to Big Nori hill nearby and assaulted the peak from the side while the Communists were preparing to reinforce retreating Reds on Little Nori.
Red, green, and blue flares sent up by the South Koreans illuminated the battlefield after the twin defeat to prevent unobserved infiltration by
On Big Nori, the South Korean defenders lasted 20 minutes against the Communist onslaught. ROK troops trying to hold Little Nori fell back after 18 minutes.
Educators Top Grad School List
Education for educators has been the largest single area of activity in graduate training at the University.
Of the 4,889 graduate degrees granted by the University through 1952, 26.45 per cent were in some phase of education, said Dean Kenneth E. Anderson, writing in the fall issue of the KU Bulletin of Education.
However, the 1,292 persons earning these degrees often drew upon subject areas other than education itself.

The Communists had captured Little Nori early yesterday in an assault by 3,000 men against that sector of the Western front, the biggest mass attack by the Reds against the UN in two months.
