Jim Crow School Attack Enters New Phase May 28
NEW YORK—National attention began focusing this week on the opening of a new phase of the legal attack on segregated education by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, as preparations progressed for the trial of the suit seeking admission of Negro elementary and high school students of Clarendon County, South Carolina, to the county "white" schools.

The precedent-shattering suit is scheduled to be heard in Charleston beginning May 28, before a three-judge federal court consisting of Senior Circuit Judge John J. Parker and Federal District Judges J. Waties Waring and Geo. B. Timmerman. Originally scheduled to be argued in federal district court before Judge Waring, the suit was shifted to a three-judge court when it became apparent that it involved a frontal attack against the segregated school system. Federal law requires that cases attacking a state statute order of a state agency as unconstitutional be heard before a court composed of three judges, including at least one justice of the Courts of Appeals.

The NAACP brief, filed on behalf of sixty-seven Negro school children and their parents, sets forth the glaring inequalities within the school system. As in the cases attacking segregation on the graduate and professional levels, the NAACP is expected to produce as expert witnesses leaders in anthropology, education, and allied fields, to testify as to the discrimination imposed on Negro students.
