drivers had him arrested here
May 20 when he refused to move
to the rear of the vehicle when
ordered to do SO.
Damages of $4,000 were sought
from the company and Justice Of
the Peace James o. Kirk. Judge
Willis Miller, who presided at the
trial, granted a motion to dis
miss the suit against Kirk on the
ground that in issuing a warrant
for Reigns' arrest, he was acting
in his official capacity and there
fore could not be held liable for
the act.
Reigns was returning from
North Carolina to Washington.
After the bus pulled out Of the
Richmond terminal, the driver, c.
L. Jordan, ordered him to move
to the rear. Reigns said there
were no empty seats and he re-
fused to move.
The bus driver summoned the
justice of the peace, who issued
the warrant charging Reigns with
disorderly conduct. Reigns was
arrested and held in Jail until
the next day when he posted bond.
The charge against Reigns was
dismissed in Police Court June 10
Reigns brought suit on the
ground that he had been wrong
fully arrested, Inundated and de-
prived of his civil rights in viola
ton of the State and Federal
Constitutions.
The bus company defended on
the ground that its driver was
simply carrying out the provis-
ions of the State segregation law.

Mr.. Rector also complained that
persons getting unemployment in
surnace could continue TO collect
it even though farmers were "cry-
ing for help" he said the State
Employment Service verified a
person eligible for insurance but
had no authority over farm jobs
and if no industrial employment
was registered with his offise, he
was forced to grant insurance,
even though farmers needed the
workers.
