The National Labor Relations
Board failed today to obtain q Su-
preme Court review of its conten-
ton that the Peninsula and Occi-
dental Steamship Co. should REIN
state las seamen dismissed from two
ships.
The board appealed from a de-
cision by the Fifth Federal Circuit
Court, holding that the men had
engaged in q sit-down strike, had
taken possession of the ships and
that this was "at least prima facie
evidence that the crews were guilty
Of mutiny."
1T would be gross negligence" the
Circuit Court added, "for a vessel to
put to sea with that kind of crew."
The company, with headquarters

steamships Florida and Cuba from
Miami and Tampa, Fla, to Havana.
1t was contended by the Labor
Board, however, that the men should
be returned to work and given back
pay because their discharge was due
to their joining and assisting the
National Maritime Union, c. I. o.
affiliate.
The American Federation of Labor
opposed a review. The company

Mrs. Roosevelt to Pay Taxes
|On Exempt Radio Earnings

so that it will be taxable.
Mrs. Roosevelt's radio earnings
were thrust into the national spot
light in 1887, when Representative
Hamilton Fish, Republican, of New
York accused her of using loop
hole" to avoid the taxes.
Mrs. Roosevelt has entered several
fields of paid employment to aid
charity since she entered the White
House, including lecture tours, radio
broadcasts. book publication, maga-
zine editing and writing and news
paper column conducting.
In 1884 she reported her broad
cast receipts were $4,000, paid
directly to the American Friends
Service Committee in Philadelphia.
In 1885 Mrs. Roosevelt's radio book
ing agent was quoted as saying she
had made $4,000 for charity and
turned down 81 900 900 more because
suggested programs did not meet her
specifications.

Persons close to Mrs Franklin D.
Roosevelt disclosed today that she
intends to pay income taxes on her
future radio earnings, although the
Treasury had ruled them tax ex-
empt.
The purely PERSONAL decision by
the Presidents wife, it was said,
was made to avoid any chance of
future criticism.
In the past, she has paid income
tax on all her earnings except those
from radio broadcasts, which were
paid direct to designated charity.
Since she received no income for
herself, the Treasury ruled in 1894
that such radio earnings were not
taxable income.
Mrs. Roosevelt has made no radio
broadcasts during the past year, but

High Court Upho|ds
Law School Equality
For Co|ored Race
Admittunce to Stote
University Ordered
By Justices
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Supreme Court ruled today
that State must give equality" in
educational privileges to white and
colored law students.
1t gave this opinion in holding that
the University of Missouri Law
School must admit Lloyd L. Gaines,
colored, of st. Louis, as student.
Chief Justice Hughes delivered
the majority opinion that held Mis-
souri,, in compelling colored law stu
dents to attend school outside the
State, had violated the equal rights"
provision of the Constitution.
Missouri provided that until
law school for Negroes was developed
in the State, the tuition of colored
law students should be paid at uni
versities in adjacent States.
Equality Of Right Issue.
"The question here Chief Justice
Hughes said, "is not of a duty of
the State to supply legal training,
or Of the quality Of the training
which it does supply, but of its duty
when it provides such training to
furnish it to the residents of the
State upon the basis of an equality
Of right.
"By the operation of the laws of
Missouri privilege has been created
for white law students which is
denied to Negroes by reason of their
race.
"The White resident is afforded
legal education within the State;
the colored resident having the
same qualifications is refused it
there and must go outside the State
to obtain it,
THAT is a denial of the quality
of legal right to the enjoyment
of the privilege which the State
has set up. and the provision for
the payment of tuition fees in an
other State does not remove the
discrimination"
Two Justices Dissent.
The chief Justices opinion re-
versed a decision by the Missouri
Supreme Court in favor of the law
school. Justices McReynoldS and
Butler dissented, holding that "the
Supreme Court of Missouri arrived
at a tenable conclusion and its
judgment should be affirmed"
That court" Justice McReynolds
said with Justice Buffers concur
renee, well understood the grave
difficulties of the situation and
rightly refused to upset the settled
legislative policy of the State by
directing a mandamus.
For long time Missouri has
acted upon the view that the best
interest of her people demands sep
aration of whites and Negroes in
schools.

Railroad Expenditure
Of Billion Seen if
Taxes Are Cut
Spending at Thot Rote
For 10 Years Needed,
Senators Are Told
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senators investigating the theory
Of incentive taxation heard today
that railroads might spend 81 ,000,-
100000 a year for improvement If
Federal and State taxes were light
ened.
The carriers need to spend at that
rate for 10 years, said r. v. Fletcher,
general counsel for the Association
Of American Railroads.
Mr.. Fletcher told the Senate
Profit-sharing Committee such ex-
penditures would create 500,000 jobs
in the heavy industries.
Before the railroad spokesman
took the stand, the committee heard
from a former Government tax ex-
pert that reclassiflcation of Federal
taxation would increase employment,
spur business and increase national
income.
Lowell Parker, for IL years an ad-
wiser to the Joint Congressional
Committee on Taxation. told the
committee that if the Nation had
a 500 200, 900 income "all our trou-
bles would be over"
Urges Tax Reductions.
As for the railroads, Mr.. Fletcher
said he believed 1T would be a very
wholesome thing" if the Govern
ment would provide some incentive
in the form of tax reductions in
return for railroad expenditures on
rehabilitation. He said such action
by the Federal Government might
provide a lead for similar moves
by the States. which collect the
major share of taxes from the car
riers.
II think that if the railroads
could have continued to buy as much
materials and supplies during the
depression as they purchased from
1923 to 1929" Mr.. Fletcher said
there would have been no necessity
for the huge expenditures that have
been made for relief"
Mr. Fletcher agreed with Senator

gan, that the railroads should be al
lowed to buy their securities at pres

Wendell Willkie, president Of
Commonwealth g. Southern Corp,

stockholders his proposal that a
fair purchase price for the Tennes-
see Electric Power Co. be fixed by
arbitration.
In letter to David E. Lilienthal,
director of the Tennessee Valley Au-
thority, Mr.. Willkie said he was
making this suggestion because a
representative of T. v. A. pretended
to be disturbed by possible litigation
on the part of the stockholders If
the results of arbitration did not
please them.
Mr. Willkie suggested some time
ago that the Securities and Ex-
change Commission be named to fix
a fair purchase price for the Ten
nessee company's properties. The
company is subsidiary of Common
wealth & Southern.

of stockholder litigation.
