Montgomery County political cir
cles, no one was more surprised
than the appointee himself. He
learned of his being named to the
post as he arrived home from work
late Monday evening.
His wife (the former Miss Es
ther Scott of Atlanta) greeted him
with: “How do you do, Judge?”
i He replied: “You’re kidding.”
He learned, however, that she
; was not “kidding” when she re

j secretary had called scant minutes
before from Columbus with the
information.
Since January 17, 1949, Attor
ney Carter had served as an as
I sjstant in the office of Montgom
ery County Prosecutor Mathias H.
Hack. He has been a partner in
the law firm of Carter and Waiters
in Dayton since his graduation
from the Harvard Law School in
1947.
Second Negro Judge In Ohio
Attorney Carter is the first Ne
gro to be appointed judge by Ohio’s
Democrat Governor Frank Lausche.
In 1940, Attorney Perry Jackson
of Cleveland, Ohio, was appointed
a judge in that city by Republican
Governor John Bricker.
Since there were alrea ly three
Democratic judges on the bench
in Dayton, it was conjectured in
the local political circles *that the
governor might appoint a Republi

can. One, Attorney William A.
Struck, a Republican, was consid
ered the most probable choice for
appointment.
Qualifications Stressed
In making the appointment,
Governor Lausche stated that po
litical considerations were not in
volved. The governor stressed At
! torney Carter’s “outstanding qual
ifications for judicial office.”
Judge Maurice Russel, who will
I be Attorney Carter’s colleague on
the municipal court bench, stated:
: “I think I can speak for the other
judges as well as myself when I
say he will be welcome on the
bench. We will give him all the
help we can. Although I have not
had much contact with him pro
fessionally, I know he has an ex
cellent reputation.”

I hea(j th campaign to raise a $10
million Freedom Fund which the
NAACP will seek during the next
ten years. The drive for the Free
dom Fund was urged by Dr. Tobias
during a speech at the recent
NAAC P annual convention in St.
Louis. It was touched off when
the Board Chairman pointed out
that an organization with a pro
gram like that of the NAACP
would need about a million dollars
a year. Noting that racial dis
crimination and segregation should
be ended in about ten years, it was
immediately concluded that such
a program should be undertaken.
It was pointed out that the call
tor the rally would be made by dis
tinguished citizens, possibly with
C harles E. Wilson, chairman of
Ceneral Electric Corporation as
one of the members of the group
making the call. Mr. Wilson was
chairman of the President’s Com
mitee on Civil Rights, appointed
by Mr. Truman. Dr. Tobias served
on the Committee.
I ntil it was explained why the
NAACP officials had called on Mr.
Truman, there was wide specula
tion as to what they had talked
about on the visit. Quick denial was
given to the report that it was a
political meeting. Dr. Tobias stres
sed the fact that the rally will have
no political implications, but will
be the first step in the move to
implement the Freedom Fund pro
gram. He said Mr. Truman has
not said whether or not he will be
able to accept the invitation, but
felt the former President was keen
ly interested.
Although the fall meeting would
be non-partisan in character, if it
occurred before the November elec
tions, both of the men—the Presi

Law School.

Officials of the NAACP also
viewed the fall as a porpitious time
to hold the rally since the educa

Supreme Court at that time and
1 the decision of the court would
have a telling impact regardless
of the way it turned out. If the
Court ruled against the NAACP
lawyers, it could be a signal for a
