Negro Leaders Threaten Test Of Georgia's Defiant Stand

Atlanta August 10 Two Negro leaders say Georgia Democrats may be jailed rather than obey the US Supreme Court on desegregation, following the Macon convention that defied orders to admit Negroes to state colleges. NAACP leader Dr. William Boyd and attorney A T Walden warned the challenge could test faith with the Negro people. The convention asserted the court rulings in Sweatt and McLaurin do not apply to Georgia, while leaders said jail if needed would be preferred to policy capitulation.

Tragic cliff fall near Pt Fermin Park in San Pedro

Fred Ferrell slipped on a round stone at Pt Fermin Park and plunged 150 feet into water between boulders. A lifeguard pulled him out and doctors found only two small head cuts before he was sent home. The text links the incident to the Dec 12, 1937 Gaines case on equal education for black and white students. This is part of a broader national context discussing economic controls, social security, and anti-communist measures in Washington.
