Court Backs Song Contract
OF CeIanese Heads Wife
By the Associated Press.

! ~ tsS HsSpSAatEu 1&cSG.
NEW YORK, April 2t.--A mi
nority stockholders suit, charging
the directors of the Celanese Corn.
OF America with spending more
than 81 ,000, 900 in 1912 for, . radio
program to foster the career Of
Jean Tennyson, soprano and wife
OF the corporations president, was
dismissed yesterday by Supreme
Court Justice Bernard L. Shientag.
In the decision, which dismissed
the complaint on it's merits, Justice
Shientag held that '.the directors
acted in the free exercise of their
honest business judgment, and their
conduct in the transactions chal-
lenged did not constitute negligence.
waste or improvidence."
Commenting on the charges con-
cerning Miss Tennyson. wife of
Camille Dreyfus, Celanese president,
the court noted the singer received
$500 program and added: "It
would be far-fetched to suggest
that the directors caused the COM
pany to incur large expenditures for
radio advertising to enable the
presidents wife to make $24, 900 in
1912 and $20,500 in 1943.'
The evidence fails to show that
the program was designed to foster
or subsidize the career of Miss
Tennyson as an artist or to ''fur-
nish vehicle for her talents" the
decision said.

Supremacy Of White,
Is Issue in Alabama
Race for Senate
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. April 21.--
The racial problem, with its attend
ant questions OF white supremacy
and segregation in the South, has
become one of the prime debating
grounds in the current hotly-con-
tested race for the Democratic sem
atorial nomination in Alabama
May 2.
Party voters will decide between
Senator Lister Fill, Democratic whip
in the Senate, and State Senator
James A. Simpson, Birmingham at
torney with long experience in the
Legislature.
Both candidates have declared for
white supremacy and segregation,
with each charging the other with
acts against maintenance of tradi-
tional Southern racial customs.
Simpson Assails Bureaucrats.
Mr.. Simpson, campaigning on the
slogan bring local government back
home" said the racial issue was
raised, not by him, but by the ''bu-
reaucrats when they said our right
to insist on segregation of the races
here In the South and our refusal to
accept social equality Is not local
issue but q national issue" He
identified Senator Hill as the rub
Der stamp tool and supporter" of the
Washington bureaucrats.
The Birmingham attorney also
criticized activities of the Fair En-
ployment Practices Committee and
announced he stood for local So
luton of local race questions in the
interest of both Negro and the
white races" /
Smoke Screen" Charged.
Senator Hill asserted Mr.. Simp-
son was the candidate of selfish
big mule" interests and that Re-
publicans and Roosevelt haters"
were the principal Simpson support
ers. He said the racial issue was
raised as smoke screen" to dis
guise the real issues of the race and
emphasized his support of such
progressive legislation" as the Ten
nessee Valley Authority Act and his
constant support of pre-Pearl Har-
Dor preparedness measures"
Senator Hill said Mr.. Simpson
voted against white supremacy" in
the State Legislature in 1927. The
act In question changed the read
ing of the Alabama code to classify
as Negroes persons of any Negro
blood whatever. Prior to 1927 the
law provided that persons would be
so classified If they had any Negro
ancestor within five generations.

taken over the Foreign Once ir
Rome until a new italian cabinet
is formed. He may remain as the
new permanent Undersecretary OF
State.
Rosso was one of the most popu-
lar and publicized foreign diplomats
ever stationed in Washington, al
though he represented very un-
popular government. His love for
his cocker spaniels and the care
full way in which he provided for
the comfort of his dogs amused
Washington in the days when diplo-
matte gossip was in the lighter vein
Rosso's deft handling of the
OVRA agents whom MuSsolini had
planted in the Italian Embassy was
another source of amusement to the
capital. The Ambassador knew the
butler was a member of II Duce's
secret service, so he would warn his
guests to be careful of what they
said while the butler was in the
room, because "he is actually q
member of the italian secret
service"
| Rosso's emergence into relative
political prominence at this time is
no accident. Observers who believe
the new italian government will be
in effect, directed by Palmiro Togli-
atti, former secretary of the Third
Internationale, know that Rosso is
one of the few italian career d.plo-
mats who can get along with the
Kremlin.
Rosso was transferred from WASH
ington to Moscow shortly after he
married an American woman, the
former Mrs. Frances Wilkinson
Bunker of Evanston, Ill, and Wash
ington. During his tenure of office
in Russia he is reported to have
been closer to the Kremlin than
Hitler's representative, Baron Won
der Schullenburg.
very thin veneer of Fascism evi-

the Russian Foreign Once, for he
stayed in Moscow until Mussolini
declared war on Russia. After that
Rosso went back to Italy and lived
Iquietly on his estate near Naples.
He moved to Rome soon after the
invasion OF Sicily and eventually
became an important underground
|negotiator between Mashal Badoglio
and Gen. Eisenhower, before Musso-
lini actually was dimissed. Rosso's
knowledge Of the Americans and the
British, plus his good relations with
Moscow, have earned him the pres
