chief counsel for NAACP, said
similar pleas would be filed for all
33 of the persons indicted.
The pleas based their legality on
grounds that Negroes systematical-
ly are barred from jury service in
Columbia, and pointed out that the
indicting grand jury was composed
entirely of whites, who generally
are prejudiced against Negroes in
their opinions. Weaver said also
that chief counsel of NAACP would
arrive in Columbia April 10.
Federal Judge Elmer Davies
summoned the federal grand jury
to convene in special session in
Nashville on April 8 to investigate
and growing on the outside and
vicious Dixie senators doing the
same from within, the position of
the administration is far from COM
Portable. It may be that there will
be enough senators with CUTS

rights during the disturbances. His
order followed a directive from

A secretary in Tennessee's Gov.
McCord's office estimated that
about 5000 messages had been re-
ceived there. Meanwhile Columbia
continued preparation to prosecute
the 33 Negroes. Original indict-
ments returned by the Maury Coun-
ty Grand jury last week made
charges against 81 persons, four
whites and SO Negroes. Capias
warrants were issued for their ar

man Chapman said the question OF
whether Negroes would vote in the
coming primary would be up to the
Muscogee county committee. At the
time of the New Orleans decision,
there was comment that any appeal
to the supreme court probably
would postpone a final settlement
of the issue until after the primary.
Date for the primary has not
been set in Georgia. 1t will be an
nounced later by the Democratic
State Executive Committee. 1t GUS
tomarily is held in the summer.
The former governor proposed
that the state Democratic commit
tee be convened and asked to adopt
all existing Georgia laws on prl-
maries as a means for preserving
the white primary and the county
unit system of counting votes.
Then, suggested Talmadge, the
general assembly should meet in
extraordinary session and repeal
all primary laws which conflict
with the New Orleans court de-
cision.
Georgia's Atty. Gen. Eugene
Cook announced that the state will
support the Muscogee County ap-
peal to the supreme court. Cook
said the supporting brief will be
filed within 10 days. He said the
state was not named in the suit fill
ed by the Columbus plaintiff,
which later resulted in two federal
court decisions.

APPEAL pRIMUS KING VOTE
CASE TO SUPREME COURT

ATLANTA, Apr. s (ANP)-
Georgia's Primus King. suit, which
according to Middle Georgia FEEDER
al Court and the United State Court
Of Appeals at New Orleans has in
validated the white Democratic
primary, now has been appealed to
the United States Supreme Court.
Sponsors of the suit for the plain
tiff had predicted several weeks
ago that the case would be appealed
to the nations highest tribunal.
Last week the defendants, the Mus
cogee County Executive Commit
tee, appealed to Washington.
Opposing attorneys in the case
took steps to get the case before the
supreme court in the hope that de-
cision on it could be handed down
before courts regular summer re-
cess and before the fall primary in
Georgia.
A petition for certiorari was fill
ed by Atty. Charles !. Bloch, who
represents the defending Muscogee
County Executive Committee. 1t
asks review of the, circuit court of
appeals decision, which recently
held that Negroes were entitled to
participate in Democratic primar-
les.
At the same time the certiorari
petition was filed, Atty. Harry
Stroller, who represents Rev. King,
the plaintiff, filed a consent that
the writ of certiorari be granted.
This consent was filed to permit the
court to pass earlier on the question
of whether it will take the case.
If the court approves the writ of
certiorari, it is expected that argu-
ments be held the latter part of
April or the first of May. Heads of
the Democratic party in Muscogee
county declared that final court
decision on the right of Negroes to
vote in Georgia Democratic pri-
maries might not be reached until
after the primary this year. Chair

Strike Set On PuIImons

Chicago, July 24-CUP)-The na- ton faced the prospect today of a tie-up in Pullman service with the announcement of a strike Aug. ' by members of the Order of Rail- way Conductors.
 B. C.. Johnson, vice-president of the union, said the, strike had been ordered againstt he Pullman company as result of a dispute over application of wage increases awarded last Spring.
 Johnson said the strike would force every railroad in the country, except the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Line, to operate without fullman facilities. The MilWau- kee road partially operates it's own sleeping cars but will be severely crippled by the strike, he said.
 Union officials said Pullman car conductors would leave their jobs Aug. ' at P M. in each time zone.
 The strike was called following breakdown in negotiations before the National Railway Mediation Board in Washington last Friday.
 Johnson said the company had refused to pay the sl48 per day, or S44.40 a month increases worked out in arbitration proceedings and in consultations with the White House

 Advisers See OPA Revival
 Majority Don't
 Wont Added Costs
 To Connecticut

Hartford, July 24-(UP)-No spec -ial session of the General Assembly will be called to enact a State rent control bill, unless the pending OP.A. measure is killed, it was de- cided today at a meeting of Gov. R.. E. Baldwin and legislative leaders.
 The governor said if O.P.A. is not revived, he will call another meeting of the same advisers to consider a special session.
 The conferees also agreed that a special session, if called, would con- sider only rent control- This spiked the hopes of those Wlo have been advocating a soldiers bonus and es- tablishment of state blood bank.
 Senate Leader Leon Ris Cassi, -Hartford, summed up the ma jority viewpoint. Enactment of a Federal rent control act has been agreed on by everybody in Wash ington," he said. T can see no need for state action at this time"
 Opponents of state rent control law pointed out the State should not assume the heavy administrative costs Of such an act if the Federal government is set to foot the bill.
 A few of the advisers, including House Speaker E. Lea Marsh, Jr. R., Old Lyme, said privately that State rent control should be insti- tuted regardless of what action Con- gress takes, but it was felt such leg islation would be in conflict with the pending federal act.

Meat Supply Plentiful

There will be enough meat now for everybody" That's what a spokesman for Swift & Company said today, in reporting that meat shipments were increasing rapidly.
 The meat wholesaler said there were a few declines in prices, but generally-speaking the price situa- tion was similar to that of last week.
 Lamb, which had been on the scarcity list for the past week, was included in today's shipments, and a complete variety of meats was ex- pected to be available to Waterbury consumers by tomorrow.
 With supplies of meat quickly heading toward the point of abundance" further price cuts were anticipated here. CongreSsion- al plans to resume price controls on meat in August if prices remain high are expected to cause further price dips.

Calls for Better Benefits Bitter Fight Seen in Social Security Act

Washington, July 24-(UP)-The House opens debate today on revi- sion of the Social Security Act with prospects of a bitter fight between representative of poor" states and rich" states.
 The bill, a compromise worked out by the House Ways and Means Committee, would freeze the pay roll tax under the Social Security Act at l percent for 1947. It also would raise the matching ceiling for old age assistance from $40 to $50 a month.
 The measure was sent to the floor of the House under rule forbidding any amendments, but strong group headed by Rep. Albert Gore, O. Tenn.), seeks to substitute another measure introduced by Rep. Robert L. Doughton, O. N. O., it would

mo bill at all" than the committee compromise. The latter, he charged, is unfair to the aged in poorer states.
 The compromise also would extend special benefits to servicemen. A serviceman who dies within three years after leaving the Army or the Navy would be considered as fully paid up under the insurance pro- visions of the Social Security Act regardless of his true economic cir cumStances.
 Aid to dependent children provi- sions of the Social Security Act also would be liberalized. Under present law, SIS for the first and SIP for each dependent child is authorized. The new bill would raise these fig Wes to $N and SIS, respectively.

experts aboard the U. s. s. Mt. Mckinley.
 Expert Not Confident
 Col. Ben Hickman, Crossroads weather expert, said he was not too confident. But he hoped for a break in an intertropical weather front now moving west.
 Blandy, who has the final word, announced flatly that Thursday, Bikini time, would be Baker Day" But he too kept scanning the skies for confirmation of his decision.
 A downpour Of rain wouldn't make much difference in the actual dropping of the bomb and its eX- plosion under water, but 1t would interfere with observation of the event-both from the air and ships anchored at safe distance. It also could affect safety measures.
 The chances were that youthful Dr. Marshall Holloway will set of the bomb on schedule by pushing series of buttons aboard the in- strument ship U. s. s. Cumberland Sound. He and a group of top sci- entists and naval officers were to remain overnight aboard the LSM 50, with the dread bomb suspended in the waters below them

OPA Bill To Ride Easy In Senate
 Orchards to Give
 Parting Speeches
 Against Measure

Washington, July A,-(UP)-The Senate was expected to pass the OPA revival bill today after hearing a few parting blasts from die-hard price control foes.
 AS the Senate moved toward a possible mid-afternoon vote on the compromise price measure, Admin istration stalwarts predicted PreSi- dent Truman will sign the bill.
 Senate Democratic Leader Alben w Barkley, Ky, said that final de- bate on the bill probably would not last more than three or four hours" He estimated that no more than eight Senators would speak before the vote
 25 Expected to Oppose
 Most organized resistance col lapsed as the six-month congress sional fight over OPA neared its close.
 Sen. Robert A. Taft, (R.-OD, a leader of Senate OPA opposition, be- lieved that only 5 Senators would vote against the bill. He said re- signedly he would vote for its pas sage.
 The House yesterday approved the bill, 2lo to 142 The bill would extend limited price controls on most commodities and manufactured products for an other year. Price ceilings on meat, dairy products, grains and some other commodities would be re- moved until Aug 20. A three-man board then would determine whether price controls on the items should be restored.
 Final Efforts for Solons
 Leaders of both parties believed that Senate passage of the OPA bill would represent Congress final efforts to draft a price measure ac- ceptable to MT. Truman They agreed that in event of a second veto, OPA would not be revived Any future congressional efforts on prices probably would cover rents nothing else.
 Other developments on the price front:
 l. MT. Truman signed the
 third deficiency appropriation
 bill which includes s75,oo0 GOO
 for OPA's operations in the
 current fiscal year,
 2. OPA, anticipating it's re-
 vival prepared for a deluge of
 requests for price increases
 authorized under the bill Plans
 also were being made to issue
 some orders which would have
 gone into effect if OPA had con
 tinued operations past June 20.
 3. Civilian Production Ad-
 ministrator John D. Small said
 that wholesale prices of con-
 sumer durable goods have in-
 creased less than percent since
 price controls expired. Small
 said a spot check indicated that
 only manufacturers of unfin-
 ished fabrics and producers of
 west coast sof,Wood lumber
 were withholding their products
 in anticipation of higher prices.

raise the ceiling from $40 to $6O a month on old age assistance and would authorize variable grants for states where the per capita income is below the national average.
 Under the variable grant program, the Federal Government would SUD- ply two dollars for every one dol- lar put up by poor" states.
 The compromise bill up for debate would keep the Federal Government on dollar-for-dollar matching basis with the states. The increased ceiling, Gore estimated, would cost an additional 27,0OQ,OO0 a year and the major beneficiaries would be five states-California, Massachu- sets, New York, Washington and Colorado.
 Gore said he would rather have
