HARDY ey. "NATIONAL TROMAN LIBRARY
- 3 -
U.S.
a. The Oregon Supreme Court voided the states
prohibiting the ownership of land by aliens.
b. The California Supreme Court recently held
the state's ban on intermarriage was
unconstitutional.
c. The Federal courts in California recently
held that Japanese-Americans stranded in
Japan at the outbreak of war did not lose
their citizenship.
Although this event did not take place after January 1, 1949,
one of the most significant Federal court decisions should be counted
among the gains following the President's Civil Rights Report. Judge
Waring, a Federal judge in South Carolina, ruled that Negroes must
be admitted to membership in the Democratic Party there, thus
establishing a precedent which effectively stopped the Dixiecrats
from using the "club membership" idea to prevent Negroes from voting.
The most recent important court decision of the U.S. Supreme
Court was the one handed down in the "restrictive covenant" cases.
The effect of this decision (in which the United States, through the
Department of Justice participated as an amicus curiae) was to remove
forever the power of the courts to enforce restrictive covenants.
Private individuals may still make such covenants, but they may not
appeal to the courts to enforce them.
An even more far-reaching case is coming up this term. The
Court has accepted jurisdiction and will rule on the Henderson case.
Henderson, who is now Executive Secretary of the American Council on
Human Rights, was an employee of the Fair Employment Practice Committee
