UNION DUES SUIT
TO GET review

The Ohio supreme court yester-
day agreed to review legal dis
pute involving checkoff of union
dues Of workers employed by the
city of Dayton, the Associated
Press reported.
The dispute involves two city or
dinances. The first permits the city
to collect the dues. The second al
lows the city to withhold per cent
of the collected dues to defray the
cost of making the deductions.
The first ordinance was tested
before Common Pleas Jupdge Rob-
ert u. Martin. Judge Martin ruled
that since the collection was for the
benefit of the union, they city could
not finance the checkoff.
As a result of his decision, the
city passed the second ordinance.
Both constitute the present sys-
tenn.
Earl Hagerman, city finance di-
rector and plaintiff, then asked the
district court of appeals to pass on
the procedure. The court upheld
the checkoff ordinance in unani-
nous decision.
In reviewing the dispute, the
supreme court said it would decide
whether the court of appeals was
entitled to base it's decision on the
changes made in city legislation
while litigation was pending.

Liberals Eye Vmson As The
Supreme Court Justice

since the majority of the members
of the court have been Democrats or
when the majority opinion in such
cases was delivered by a Democrat.
The supreme court has grown more
liberal simultaneously with in
crease in the number of it's Demo-
cratic members.
There is no uneasiness about the
presence Of only one Republican on
the bench. But liberals generally in
Washington have some misgivings
about Mr.. Justice Vinson. Critics
feel at best that he is marginal
justice, an unknown quantity, who
cannot be counted on at the crucial
moment. If he passes the test as
quickly and as satisfactorily as Mr..
Justice Black did, this uneasiness
about him will be shortlived.
Some political observers have al
ready expressed the opinion that
the supreme courts outlawing of
discriminatory practices of the
south against the Negro may be
halted or at least retarded. The
Tunstall case is in line for the top
court and is one of the most sig
nificant cases ever appealed to any
higher court. A favorable high
court decision in this case would gc
long way toward breaking the
economic shackles from the Negro
workers.

GREYHOUND LINES DROP BUS Jim CROW

RICHMOND, Va, June 13
(ANP)-In compliance with the
United States Supreme Courts de-
cision invalidating the segregation
of the raceson buses in interstate
travel, the Greyhound Bus COM
pany announced that it will not re-
quire it's passengers to ride in sep
arate seats or sections of the bus
hereafter.
The company's decision was an
nounced here on June 5 by C. L.
Major, president and general man.
ager of the company. He said pas
sengers will be allowed to sit
wherever they wish. At the same
time he added that the company
would make no distinction between
intrastate and interstate passen-
gers since all of their buses cross
some state line.
The company's head made the
historical announcement after con-
sulting Richmond and Washington
attorneys. The text of the courts
decision was also studied, and the
official said he understood that the
ruling affected any bus crossing
state line.
Meanwhile, Atty. Gen. Abram P.
Staples ruled informally that in his
opinion the decision will apply to
interstate rail travel. The court
ruled against the Virginia Statute
4097DD requiring the separation of
the races in transportation.
Railroad officials here said last
week that trains running to Rich
mond would continue to segregate
passengers by race until the court
rules formally on the matter. How
ever, Norman Call, president of the
Richmond Fredericksburg and Po-
tomac railroad, said the company's
legal department was studying the
supreme courts decision and would
probably advise the company soon
on the subject.
Southern railroad officials took
the position that the courts deci-
sion affected only interstate travel
by buses and that consequently the
Southern was planning no change
in the separation of the races as
passengers on it's trains.

 The emperor's pronouncement, unparalleled in the annals of the ruling of the Rising Sun Empire. told the people their traditional conception of the emperor as divine person was false. con- ception," and that the Japanese were not ordained to rule the earth.
 The epperor's statement pleases me very much" Macarthur said. By it he undertakes leading part in the democratization of his people. He squarely takes his stand for the future along liberal lines.' Macarthur likewise addressed a New Years message to the Japa- nese telling them that a new day dawns for Japan needing only the awakening of the masses to the knowledge that they now have the power to govern, and what is done must be done by themselves
 However, the course of the new year was not so clear Co many observers of the Japanese scene, who expressed new cause for alarm in discovering that under the Moscow control agreement, the Japanese governmental and con- stitutional changes would be sub- ject to the control commission and council, rather than to MacAr- thurs directiveS.

DEMOCRATIC
 MAJORITY IN
 HOUSE DROPS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The Democratic majority in the House fell to 47 today as three members stepped back into private life, to be followed quickly by fourth.
 ' Thus when Congress reconvenes on January 14, the Democrats Will have seven fewer seats than they held when the 79th Congress began work last January.
 The lineup then will be 236 Demo- crats, l90 Republicans, two minor parties and seven vacancies.
 The 18th Congress, which met ln January, l943, found the Democrats with a majority of only 14-222 to 2C8-with four minor party mem bers and one vacancy.
 Today's drop to AT resulted from resignations which became effective last midnight for these three mem- bers: Samuel Dickstcin, CNY), Rob- jert Ramspeck (GD and Clifton A. Woodrum CVa). A fourth Democrat, Samuel A. Weiss (Pa) has resigned effective January '.
 Until successors are named TOT these four and to fill three other vacancies the vote on most major issues is expected to be close, since many southern Democrats recently have balloted with Republicans.

Aloof Adolescents
Bv AnqeIo Pafri

/ Nature ordains that children must
grow up and away, apart, from their
parents. They must leave child
hood behind them. They have to
merge play with work, take thought
where once they knew no thought
to concern them. They must leave
the sheltered ways of home and
school and find their own peculiar
place and the road that leads to it.
The once affectionate dependent
child changes into silent, moody,
aloof stranger. The child of the
house has departed never to return
and a stranger dwells in his place.
The changes that were taking place
so slowly that nobody noticed them
seem to appear overnight and the
parents are shocked by its sudden
ness, strangeness and hostility. But
the change did not come swiftly; it
was not born overnight; 1t was in
herent in the child from birth.
We must accept the child we get.
We cannot change him into some
other sort, try as we may. But we
can, If we start early and continue
through the years, soften his edges,
trim down his faults, strengthen his
good points, encourage him to be his
best self whatever that self may be.
We can, II we struggle to under
stand the child, keep close to him in
affection so that when the change
from childhood into adolescence
Evening star., 1946-04-26

takes place, we shall not face a
closed door.
This is much easier for me to say
than it is for fathers and mothers
to do. Children are for the most
part, sealed packages. They do
not know what is hidden within
themselves any more than we do
and the secrecy nature imposes puts
many difficulties in the way of open
communication. It is that open
communication that we must try to
get and keep always.
Parents of moody difficult chill
dren, and such children exist even
in the most carefully reared groups,
have to accept the idea of having q
new adult member Of the family,
one that feels adult though the dews
Of childhood are still shining upon
him. It may be that this stranger
child needs to be treated as a
guest; maybe he needs to be treated
as an intimate friend whose secrets
we keep, whose confidence we
treasure but whose personality we
must not invade; maybe he needs
to be treated as Hedging, half
child, half adult; maybe we must
stand aside and wait for signals.
Whatever the difficulty such chill
dren present we must show them
loving kindness, patience, ana hope
in all our attitudes. Bear with
them then for It is the time Of their
greatest need.
