Negro Students
To Remain At
MARYLAND u.

BALTIMORE, July 26.-Under
a ruling handed down by Attorney
General Herbert r. O'Conor, the
two colored students now enrolled
in the University Of Maryland
Law School here cannot be ousted
under the new scholarship act
passed by the State assembly. The
ruling was requested by DR.. H. C.
Byrd, president of the University.
The new act provides that
colored students desiring courses
not given at the two colored insti-
tutions in the State, Morgan Col
lege and Princess Anne Academy,
will be given scholarships to col
lege outside the State which do
offer the courses. DR.. Byrd asked
if, under that ruling, the two
colored students in the law school,
now the only colored students in
the University Of Maryland, could
be given scholarships in another
State.

HOUSE PAGES
HOLD FETE

1t was an occasion both happy
and said which the House pages
celebrated last night at the May.
flower Hotel.
The joy emanated from the fact
that they could smack their lips
over Maryland chicken, ice cream
and all those things that boys
like, with Representative Joseph B.
Shannon Cd of Missouri, the
host at the annual banquet he pro-
vides for the pages. He has made
himself popular with the IL to
16-year-old youngsters by giving
such a banquet each year for the
past five.
The sadness, however, came
from the announcement made by
Mr.. Shannon that he is retiring
from Congress at the conclusion
of this term.
Nevertheless, the party was a
jubilant one, with the pages giving
speeches, reciting poetry and
eating.

Fiscal Outlook in
u. S. Disturbed

WASHINGTON, Dec. 90. (UP)-
Events today disturbed the promises
of a budget balance next year and
prospects of a deficit of less than
$700,000,000 in this fiscal year.
Outstanding unfavorable factors
in the fiscal outlook were:
/. Increasing unemployment ac-
companying the recession.
2. Likelihood that international
conditions will require increased ex-
penditures for national defense.
3. Congressional reluctance to
trim so-called pork barrel expense
items.
4. Possibility of resumed federal
spending.

Several factors were intertwined
in the motives behind the strikes
which have plagued France for a
year. In general, the workers de-
mand better wages to meet in
creased living costs, strict applica-

unqualified recognition of the
