points:

the coming fiscal year for District
patients under the new per diem
rates of $3.70 recently adopted by

out that no District official has any
control over hospital expenditures.

separate Negro Party to get
around the desire for white
Democratic primaries in the
South was suggested by a colored
witness today before the Senate
Campaign Investigating Com
mittee.
Mild-mannered middle-aged Sam
uel L. Phillips, colored, of Holly
Springs, came up with this proposal
when Senator Thomas. Democrat, of
Oklahoma asked him what party the
Negroes would line up with II there
was q Republican as well as Demo-
cratic party In Mississippi.
The witness said That, to some
extent, 1t was true in the past thai
the Negroes would have been Re-
pubIicans, but that "of late there
has been feeling that if allowed
| to register they might form theil
own party and possibly call it the
Negro party"
Voted for Roosevelt.
He said he used to vote for Frank
lin D. Roosevelt and had come to
the conclusion in recent years that
"all Negroes in the South, If they're
allowed to, ought TO vote the Demo-
cratic ticket"
Throughout the hearings it has
been emphasized that since recon-
struction days the Democrats have
insisted on keeping their primaries
white, but do not interfere with
Negroes voting in general elections
and for President.
Senator Thomas wanted to know
which national party-Republican
or Democratic-a separate Negro
party in the South would support

Mr.. Phillips said he thought the
Democratic ticket.
The climax of the hearings is ex-
pected to be reached late today

JOhn l.. Lewis ana MS COunSe
planned a return trip to District
Court at 8 pm. today to pos
bonds covering the fine leviee
against Mr.. Lewis and possibly
the huge fine the United Mine
Workers were ordered to pay by
Justice T. Alan Goldsborough
and to file notice of appeal from
conviction on contempt of court
charges.
Thus, as Mr.. Lewis continued tht
Nationwide coal strike into thire
week, he was boldly stalking tht
S13,000,O00 treasury of the NMW
and a possible Jail term for himself
on THE belief that higher court
probably the Supreme Court, will
hold ne had the legal right to cal
the mine shutdown.
The formal notice of appeal Will
be filed with the civil clerk Of Dis
trict Court. The actual appeal, the
brief containing the arguments for
setting aside Justice Goldborough' {
findings, probably will not be filed
with the District Court of Appeals
for some time. Its preparation Will
cause a delay.
Attorney Gets Bond Forms.
Although his counsel made 1t cleal
that Mr.. Lewis would post bond tt
cover the $4,000 fine assessed hin
personally by Justice Goldsborough
it still was not known def1nitel,
whether bond of $3,500,000, to cove
its fine, would be forthcoming from
the union.
A UNIV attorney at 1890 pm. OBJ
tanned two bond forms from the Dis
trict Court clerk and returned Il
union headquarters That does no
mean necessarily that the huge bono
will be put up for the union as wei
as Mr.. Lewis.
If union officials decide agains
posting bond for the UNIV, thu
Government will move in due cours'
to collect it. This would be ip th'
form of an attachment against tn
union bank account or other assef
Big Gamble for Unions.
Mr.. Lewis big gamble in allowing
the economy wrecking strike to con
tinue was that in so doing he opened
the union and himself to charge
of a continuing contempt and conse
quently even greater penalties thai
have been levied against them.
After announcing the sentence
yesterday, Justice Goldsborougl
issued a temporary injunction
against the strike to take the plac
of the original restraining orde
that Mr.. Lewis ignored.
The fine against the union wa
at the rate of $250,000 for eacl
day since Justice, GoldSborough is
sued the original restraining ordel
November 49, The court could con
tinue that rate of fine until the enc
of the strike and Justice Goldsbor
.ough could call in Mr.. Lewis again
and Jail him, if he so desired.
Defiant During Sentencing.
That the union leader grimly in
tends to battle it out to the en'
with the Government was clearl,
shown by his defiant attitude dur
ing the sentencing late yesterday.
The court scene yesterday ha,
all of the melodramatic touches o
a Hollywood movie set.
During the proceedings Justic'
Goldsborough had occasion to war;
Mr.. Lewis that he could be hel,
IN contempt again for his defian
remarks to the court.
Incidentally, the court said tina
1t would like to Jail Mr.. Lewis TO
bringing on the strike which h
described as an "evil, demoniac
monstrous thing" But he said h

tions that to Jail the mine leade
