IMPLIES DIsOBEDlENCE


IMPLIES DISOBEDlENCE
At one point in his argument,
city Attorney Murphy limited that
even if the government ruled that
salaries paid to Negro teachers
were unequal and unfair to those
paid to the whites, nothing could
be done about it. He asked:
granting that the federal court
does hold that this case is within
its jurisdiction, what could 1t DO
about correcting Them To which
Judge Underwood asked pointedly:
do you mean to imply that the
Atlanta Board would not obey such
an order if such were rendered.
BRILLIANT ARGUMENTS
Attorney Walden, in brief but
forceful plea, argued the validity
of the jurisdiction of the federal
court IN the suit, while Thurgood
Marshall, legal Counsel for the
National Association for the Adj
vancement of Colored People, made
a brilliant plea, in which he cited
instance after instance wherein
precedent had been clearly es-
tablished in previous suits of this
nature, by federal courts.
TO CONSIDER CASE ON
MERITS OF BRIEFS
Upon the submission of briefs
and reply briefs by the attorneys
for both sides, Judge Underwood
will then consider the case as
submitted and will render decision
on the question as to whether the
plaintiff has set out cause OF
action which entities him 10 re .
ceive relief from the federal court
If the court holds that Davis las
U. S. Court can give him relief, it
will then overrule the contention
of the Atlanta Board of Education
and in turn, will require it to file
it's answer to the merits of the
case Thereupon Judge Underwood
will hear the case upon its merits
and Davis viii hen have the pri-
vilege of showing by witnesses that
discrimination does exist as charG-
ed in the suit On the otherhard,
if Judge. Underwood rules that the
u. S. Court has no jurisdiction, as
the attorneys for the Board con-
tend, then it will dismiss the salt.
by Mr. Davis and it would Their be
necessary for him to appeal to

(Offcial First AAF TECHNICAL SERGEANT MATTHEW F. KOLLAR

When man whose muscles and refexes have been developed while working in the open hearth depart ment of the U. s. Steel Corpora tion can train his hands to accom- plish the fine points of surgery, that's news. When the man can be found right here at Bradley Field, the heading of this feature takes on an added meaning. This fine broth of boy is T/Sgt. Matthew F. Kollar, the non-commissioned officer in charge of Surgery.
 Hattie was born in Westfeld, Massachusetts, on the last day of September, 1918, when as now, this country was the driving force in bringing the Teutons to their knees. In the Spring of 1919, the Kollars moved to North Braddock, Pennsylvania, and it was in that town that the Sergeant went through school, including two years of college. Early in life, Hattie had set his mind on being metallur- gist and it was toward that end that he chose his major subjects.
 Sergeant Kollar was employed, as has been related above, in the open hearth department of the Uni ted States Steel Corporation in Homestead, Pennsylvania, where much of the armored plating for ships is made. Three days after

Pearl Harbor, he was inducted into the Army at Pittsburgh and, after being issued uniforms, shots, etc., he was sent to Camp Lee, Virginia, where he was introduced to the mysteries of basic training. He ar- rived at Bradley the following April tenth and requested duty in the Surgical department. He work ed his way up to non-com chief of the department and, on the first of March 1914, he attained his present rank.
 Mattie was the first president of the NCO Club on the Base and many a night he can be found there dreaming up ideas for it's better ment. He collects fine recordings and his musical taste runs the gamut from mellow dance music through Strauss Waltzes to Wag- merriam Opera. He is quite an ath- lete, having made name for him. self Gin his home town) in baseball, basketball and football.
 When he gets back into his tweeds once more, he intends to go to school to take course in Indus trial Safety with an aim to re-em- ployment with U. s. Steel in the Safety Department. He is unmar- ried and resides in the family dom- icile with his mother and dad, MT. and Mrs. Matthew A. Kollar.

istS and OCS aspirants, was the next stop for Captain Hurley, as an officer candidate, not a visitor. He arrived in Florida during July 1912 and was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant on 16 September. Incl dentally, 1922 was quite a year for the Hurley family for during the same time the Captain was attend ing the Miami school his brother, John, was working for commis sion at the Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut. His other brother, James, now in Eng land, was preparing for his Officers bars at the Infantry OCS, Fort Benning, Georgia. Following his graduation Captain Hurley came to Bradley Field and was assigned as Personnel Officer before taking over his present duties. He attend ed A m n strative Inspectors School at Denver, Colorado, during April 1943. The Captain received his silver bars in February 1943 and a year later was promoted to his present rank.
 Captain Turkeys plans for the future include finishing his educa, tion and obtaining that B.S. degree at Trinity. After that, says the Captain, he will probably be swept into the Hartford insurance whirl. Unmarried, he devotes his spare time to athletics with bowling hold ing his winter interest and aquatic sports receiving the nod during the warm months.

Marion Anderson Sings Brahms Rhapsodie
 In Library Record Concert Tuesday

"Nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night" stay the music-lovers from attending the Tuesday eve hing concerts of recorded music at the Base Library. There's another all-request program ready for next weeks concert, including such fav- orite composers as Sibelius, Brahms, and Deems Taylor.
 The D Major Symphony No. 2 of Sibelius will introduce the program. Often referred to as Sibelius' pas toral symphony, it was composed in 1901-02 and performed for the first time in Finland during the same season at concert given by the composer. According to MT. Schnee- voigt, an intimate friend of Sibe- ius, the composers intention was to depict in the first movement the quiet, pastoral life of the Films, undisturbed by thought of oppres- sion. The second movement is charged with patriotic feeling, but the thought of a brutal rule over the people brings with it tinidity of soul. The third, in nature a scherzo, portrays the awakening of national feeling, the desire to or ganize in defense of their rights, while in the finale hope enters their breasts, and there is comfort in the anticipated coming of a del iverer. The work is scored for two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, three trunl- pets, three trombones, tuba, kettle drums, and strings.
 The Brahms Alto Rhapsodie needs no introduction to Bradley Field for it has appeared on sev- eral programs during the past year. Sung by Marion Anderson with a background of a male chorus it stands out as one of the best re- cordings in many years and well worthy of inclusion on any pro- gram.
 Deems Taylor, the American composer, critic and writer is com- poser of the third number on the program Through the Looking

 On making survey, ala Gallup, we Non-Coms found that the Sat- urday night boys were so success full that the guests continued to hop right on over the weekend. So, since they were hopping, we decid- ed to let them do it with us on Tuesday nights. Now we have two dance nights, Saturday and Tues day.
 We are told that Pvt. Coates gave out with a new dance Satur- day night that will soon become a craze around these parts.
 It is said that a certain young thing comes to the Club just to hear Pvt. Graves beat the drums; but could the reason be just to hear him beat his gums?
 Warning: Do not walk over the speed limit. Twas buzzed to us that Pvt. E. Craig and Pvt. E. Lee were nearly arrested for burning up some shoe leather coming in the other night.
 Through the medium of this col umn Sgt. Steve Morris would like to say thanks to all his friends that have visited him and asked for him. Pvt. Harry Tolbert dittos Sgt. Mor- ris' words.
 Pvt. L. Craig really moved in fast. He is now wearing that con- tented look that Pvt. B. Daniels wore few weeks ago.
 Pvt. Walter Garrison certainly gets around. We are told that he has found something new in New Haven and he's so set that he in vites his number one rival, Pvt. Sid ney Alugas, to accompany him on his treks to that city.
 'Tis said that S/Sgt. Caul is delv- ing deeply in real estate these days. We wish we were big busi- ness men. An! to handle more than five or ten dollars at one time.
 That yellow-jacket nest is still in business around here. Two of their best drillers went a-drilIing on S/Sgt. Watson the other day, and from what we can hear they struck oil!
 We are told that Cpl. Carruthers is doing OK. in Hartford.
 Look out, Pvt. Brazier Miss Pat won't be gone too long. You are supposed to look lonesome.
 We can't understand how Pfc. Jack Hale let Pvt. Fred Williams run him completely out of business. Could it be better work?
 We find that we have very cun- ming wolf among us. We are just getting line on him, and his name is not Winer but Miner.
 After careful observation it has been decided that Cpl. Herman George should keep the crown of the biggest eater. The runners-up are S/Sgt. Nixon and Sgt. Holli- day.
 We see that Cpl. McNeal is on the ball nowadays. Nice Buick, too.
 Wonder why Cpl. Grisby plays it so cool these days? Have you lost all interest in Hartford, or is it that you are waiting to do your playing in Washington?
