Three Go on Trial
In Theft Of $500

Connie A. Powers, 40, who already
is serving a sentence in Alabama
on a grand larceny charge, and two
other men were scheduled to go on
trial here today in District Court
on charges of stealing 5000 last
year from an Arlington (Va) restau-
rant proprietor, allegedly obtaining
the money under pretext of getting
beer for him.
The three men-Powers. Charles
U. James, so. and William F. Van
SAINT, 46-are charged with grand
larceny, larceny after trust and con-
spiracy to commit grand larceny.
Powers, who was brought here
from Alabama to stand trial, last
October was convicted here on a
charge of grand larceny of $500
from a gasoline service station pro-
prietor following demonstration OF
"money-making machine"
He was sentenced to serve from
two and half to seven and half
years. He appealed, however, and
was released on bond. Meanwhile,
he was imprisoned in Alabama for
grand larceny there. The appeal
from his District Court conviction
of last fall has not yet been argued.
Harry V. Chippas, whom Powers.
James and Van SAINT are charged
with having victimized, claims the
trio made away with the money
while he waited in telephone
booth. Assistant United States At
torney John L. Ingoldsby, jr., who
prosecuted Powers in the money
making machine" case, is the prose-
cl1tor of the trio in the present case.

LIQUOR HOLIDAY MAY
CONTINUE "INDEF|N|TELY''

WASHINGTON, June 14.-The
War Production Board said tonight
it may permit continued, but linn
tied, production Of whisky after the
July Liquor Holiday" for distillers.
1t told members of the Industry
Advisory Committee that reduced
requirements for industrial alcohol
may make some production of
beverage alcohol possible.
But the good news" for the
liquor industry was tempered by
report from the War Food Ad-
ministration (WFA). Officials said
they may find it necessary to re-
strict the use of corn Gin the near
future" in view of the frightened
supply.
WPB estimated that as much as
40,000,000 gallons of industrial al
cohol production could be diverted
to liquor production if estimated
requirements for industrial alcohol
do not increase.
War Production Chief J. A. Krug
said Russia is asking for alcohol
but, as yet, no arrangements have
been made. He said, however, any
Russian exports would not affect
seriously the domestic supply stu
alton.
WPB revealed a substantial drop
in estimates of industrial alcohol
requirements as result of the Ger
man surrender and gave this as the
principal reason for the possible
continued production of liquor after
the July holiday.

POLIO CHIEF TO
TOUR West

NEW YORK, June Ia (ANP)-
Charles H. Bynum, director of Ne
gro activities of the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis
will begin a tour of the middle
western states on June 18. Major
points in his itinerary are Pitts
burgh, Cleveland, Columbus, Gin
cinnati, Indianapolis, Chicago, Gary
Milwaukee, Detroit, Buffalo and
Rochester.
Because the summer months are
the peak epidemic months for in
fantile paralysis, Mr.. Bynum's tour
is timely one He will contact or
ganizations and community leaders
to inform them of the program and
activities of the national foundation
as we'll as the services which are
available to the public.
Within past years scores of Ne
gro polio victims have been hos
pitalized at the polio unit at Tuske-
gee Institute. In addition many
others have received treatment
within their own states, at local
institutions, through the country
chapters of the National Founda-
ton for Infantile Paralysis. These
chapters were organized for the
purpose of upholding the national
foundations pledge that no victim
of infantile paralysis shall go with
out care and treatment for lack of
funds, regardless of age, race, creed
or color.

ETHIOPIA HAS TOO
MUCH MEAT

WASHINGTON, June IA (ANP).
Ethiopia can solve the meat short
age in the United States. According
to a published statement, Ethiopia
has at present about two million
surplus cattle, each averaging
around 26O pounds dressed. The
country as result is over grazed
and these cattle, which could fur
nish source of revenue to the
Ethiopians, are being slain merely
for their hides. These are sold to
Great Britain, and only the choicest
cuts of meat preserved for human
consumption. Officials of this gov
ernment have been advised of the
availability of the meat, but have
done nothing about it.

VIRGINIA SUPREME COURT
BACK JIM(R0W IN
TRANSPORTATION

line virginia supreme court mas
ruled in favor Of jimcrow on buses
and other public carriers regardless
of interstate passengers in the case
of Mrs. Irene Morgan, passenger
on Greyhound bus in July, 1914,
travelling from Gloucester county to
Baltimore.
The Supreme court upheld lower
courts $40 fine against Mrs. Nor
gan in accord with the following
theory of racism:
"The public policy of the Com
monwealth of Virginia, as expressed
in various legislative acts, is and has
been since 1900 to segregate the
white and Negro races on public car
riers.
$50 far as we are advised, no case
contesting the validity Of any of
these segregation acts as applied to
interstate commerce has been pre-
viously before this court or any at
tempt made to repeal them"
The supreme court pointed out
that while congress has the power
to regulate commerce among the
states, the right to exercise police
power is reserved to the states, even
though legislation enacted by
state under this authority "may in
cidentally affect interstate COM
merce."
"The Virginia segregation stat
utes have been enacted under the
police power of the state reserved to
it in the tenth amendment to the
United States constitution.
"Unless it is shown that the stat
ute here challenged directly or un-
reasonably interferes with inter-
state commerce, it is a valid enact
ment. There is no evidence in this
case that the rule of the carrier or
the statute under which it was pro-
mulgated does So"
Ut was conceded by counsel that
equal facilities for both races were
provided on the Greyhound bus, and
that no discrimination existed in the
quality of accommodations.)
"The general rule is that if the
enactment which requires the segre-
cation of races according to color
directly or unreasonably interferes
with commerce, it is not constitu-
tional. But unless the regulation un-
reasonably burdens commerce, it is
valid"
The court reviewed a number of
cases upholding the validity of seq
regation laws, but conceded that
there are cases from several states
which support the contention that
segregation statute is unconstitu-
tional as respecs interstate COM
merce.
No case from the supreme court
of the United States has directly
considered the issue raised in the
Irene Morgan case, the Virginia
court commented.
The Virginia tribunal held in its
opinion that until congress takes
action on the matter of segregation
in interstate commerce, the states
are fully within their rights in
enacting legislation under their po-
lice power. Congress has attempted
"to invade the so-called segregation
field but, so far, without success"
the opinion stated.
