am not sure why quarter of your
plants leaves should have turned
yellow so quickly unless it is getting
too much water. The earth should
be damp but not too wet. Mine is
in western window where it gets
little sunshine. I plant it out in
the garden every May after danger
Of frost has passed. and it blooms
beautifully all summer long. It is
under pine trees where it gets
filtered sunlight. Gardenias can't
stand much cold, and before the
first frost I repot it. 1t does not
have large root system so this is
easy, but I have fairly large pot,
about 10 inches in diameter and a
foot deep. The plant is now about
three feet high and wide I put a
little commercial fertilizer into the
earth at the time of repotting, and
also prune the branches a bit. I
have heard that these cuttings can
be rooted but have never had any
luck myself. 1t blooms until about
December, then becomes dormant
1t is beginning to bloom again now
and the room is filled with it's fra
GRANGE. 1t will do much better when
it is planted outdoors. however

4 0NE-TIME MINER
SEEKS COAL TRUCE

WASHINGTON, April 2. "A
gaunt gray man who still limps
slightly from mine accident that
drove him out of the coal digger's
trade undertook today to conciliate
the dispute that shut down the ma
ions bituminous mines last night.
He is 62-year-old Paul w. Fuller,
of Akron, o., not only former
miner but also one-time interna-
tional representative of the United
Mine Workers, disputants in the
shutdown. Secretary of Labor
Schwellenbach and Edgar L. War
cially to the coal conciliation task.
Fuller, who recently has been spe-
cial mediator for the rubber indus
try, talked more than an hour with
Schwellenbach and Edgar L. War
rem, chief of the U. S. conciliation
service. Then he conferred sepa-
rately with the committees of oper-
ators and United Mine Workers.
A regular negotiation session of
miner and operator representatives
followed. It was the first since the
strike began and first with gov
. ernment mediator sitting in.
Charles O'Neill, chief spokesman
for the operators, told reporters,
"No progress of any kind. We are
exactly where we have been for
weeks"
1--WE found the operators in their
usual mood, declining to do any,
thing, and with neither a comma
nor a semicolon agreed on for the
next contract" said Lewis.

DAYTON AIRPORT Meets
DEMAND FOR AIR UNIT

The eventual location of an air
unit of the national guard at the
Dayton airport seemed virtually as
sured last night as the result of
latest developments.
Dayton Chamber of Commerce
officials reported that the airport
now meets every qualification out
lined by air defense officials.
At the same time, George Baker,
city service director, said bids will
be taken for only one of the two
hangars remaining vacant at the
airport. One hangar will be needed
by the air unit.
Chamber headquarters said the
requirement Of 7,OOO-foot runway
has now been lifted by the Aid De-
fense Command and the runway re-
quirement reduced to 5000 feet.
Dayton airport runways are $500
feet.
Decision on placing an air unit
at the airport will be made in the
near future, Chamber officials said.
Army officials had told them that
If the airport is acceptable, we plan
to have planes out there by June L.
No bids were received yesterday
on the two airport hangers adver-
tised for bidding as a unit, Baker
said. The only two airlines eligible
were interested in only one.
George McSherry, airport mana
ger, said bids will be opened soon on
one of the two hangers.

5(AD CRITICIZED BY
FEpC BA(kERS

NEW YORK, Apr. 2 (ANP)-
Thirty-eight organizations which
fought for passage of the Ives
Quinn anti-discrimination bill are
disappointed in the procedure used
by the State Commission against
Discrimination, it was revealed
here. This was learned from replies
to a questionable sent out by Ed
ward Lawson, former regional di-
rector of the FEPC.
Of the 38 organizations replying,
"a said they had referred COM
plants to SCAD during its eight
months of existence, and 81 report
ed that they had no basis upon
which to judge whether or not their
complaints had been handled salts
factorily. A Harlem agency wrote:
"It seems to us the SCAD is try
ing to work without hurting any
body's feelings. No effective job
can be done against widespread
discrimination until SCAD puts up
an open fight against the main CEN
ters of discrimination which are the
utilities, big corporations and mo-
nopolies."

Argue BusJim Cro,U Case
Before u. S. Supreme Court

WASHINGTON, Apr. 2 (ANP)
The right of a state to require
segregation of white and Negro
passengers in buses which crossed
state lines was brought before the
United States Supreme Court here.
Two Negro lawyers branded the
Virginia law as a "capricious appli-
cation of provincial notions" and a
regulation of an aspect of inter-
state commerce which was beyond
state control. William H. HASTE de-
clared that Virginia's law as incon-
sistent with a national policy"
which was opposed to racial dis
tinctions. Further, he said the
United States had recognized by
solemn subscription to the charter
of the United Nations our duty to
eschew racism."
Abram P. Staples, attorney gen.
eral Of Virginia, declared the law
was primarily intended to avoid
racial friction.
He further said, eve must not
deceive ourselves by idealistic or
wishful thinking. Virginia, like
many other states, is confronted
with a condition, not a theory.
"If this condition could be remov-
ed by the passage Of a law or de-
cision of a court, there would be
none to oppose it. But laws cannot
alter human nature or erase a ra-
cial antagonism. Only the Great
Master who created and endowed
mankind with these infirmities can
eradicate them. Until that occurs,
our government must be based up
The daily bulletin. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1942-1946, 1946-04-02

on the recognition that they still
exist"
This emotional appeal is in direct
opposition to the thinking and writ
ing of intelligent Virginians, who
long ago have expressed desires to
remove the Jim crow laws from the
states books.
The argument was on an appeal
by Irene Morgan who was fined
$40 because she had refused to
change her seat on the request of a
Greyhound bus driver. The bus was
travelling from Norfolk to Balti-
more. She was elected from it and
fined in the Circuit Court of Mid
dlesex, Va.
The Virginia Supreme Court, in
upholding the fine, said that the
Virginia law requiring the driver to
segregate passengers was valid
exercise of the states police power
and did not burden interstate
commerce.
Judge HASTE held otherwise and
so presented the case to the court.
Associated with him were Thur
good Marshall and Leon Ransome.

Detroit Fails To End Rail, Bus Strike

DETROIT, April All local eff
forts to settle a city-wide transit
strike of $500 Detroit streetcar and
bus operators collapsed today as fed
eral and state officials announced
"hands-off" policy in the wage dis
pute.
Mayor Edward J. Jeffries, who
has acted as city spokesman for the
municipality owned transit system,
said no further offer would be made
to the striking operators until they
returned to work.
Arbitration is the city's only Of
fer" Jeffries said, ''and we will Of
fer it again only when the men are
back on their jobs"
Union officials said there could
be no return to work without an
other mass meeting of the operators
and no such meeting could be called
in less than "a hours.
The operators, in a wild and
heated mass meeting, rejected ef-
forts of their local and international
union officials to stop the walkout.
At A a. m. the operators rolled their
vehicles into terminals of the mu-
nicipally owned transit system, cut
ting off transportation for an -esti-
mated 100000 daily fares.
The nations fourth largest city
met the shock of immobilization of
it's basic means of transportation to
school and work by hastily organ
lied car pools, by hitch hiking and
by use of every available taxicab.
The strike of the department of
street railways employees over de-
mands for an 18-cent hourly pay
boost was an orderly one.
