the loan.
Graham said that Jack Ander-

whites. Graham said that he thou
ght that had been settled when the

recently learned that whites we're
living with Dean in Columbia.
Graham said there was avail
able living space for the white
students in white homes when they
first went to Columbia but their
living with a Negro had precluded
a move to a white home.
Graham said his records show

were Fan Harper of New Bern,
a graduate of the University of
North Carolina and now a student
in the Yale divinity school; Earl
Paige Of Florence, S. c.: and Ma

The price change occurred also
at a time when there had devel-

But just like any other ad-
venturous American, l asked to

When asked if he thought the
rdane would fly, the senator said:
Il am not an engineer. l can't
be expected to answer such a ques-
ton. I hope it will fly and fly
well. 1 hope the facts we get IN
this investigation will support the
granting Of the contracts for this
boat, but if they don't that's an
other matter"
The senator continued: Tire

asked if there secrets about
It, said:
No, it is simply that the plane
is not yet completed. When it is
completed I will be very glad to
have all of you tour the ship"
II believe Sen. Cain has a little
different conception of the flying
boat now from one he brought
with him from Washington.
Hughes added.
+ He said the giant craft "prob-
ably won't fly until March or April
of next year"
He declined to say when taxing
