student demands for the first time
q particular course, the State has
the right to provide separate courses
within reasonable time.

by Judge Roy C.sArcher, heard pre-
liminary pleadings Of both sides plus

ment." And that such statutes and
constitutional provisions of Texas
which call for segregation also are
violations Of the Federal Constitu-

tute any violation Of the 14th

Truman Favors Steps
10 Lef Kin Visit War
Cemeteries Abroad

President Truman said today that
the Government should make i'll
possible for next-of- kin to visit the
graves Of their war dead whose
bodies remain overseas.
Such pilgrimages were arranged
after World War !.
The Presidents views were con-
tanned insa statement In which he
recalled that the War and Navy
Departments had begun to make
inquiries as to the final burial places
Of those who lost their lives.
Feels Many Favor Burial Abroad.
He said be thought many persons
would prefer that the dead rest IN
national cemeteries abroad. The
War Department has estimated that
rs per cent Of the 250,000 identified
bodies will be returned.
The Presidents statement follows:
"The War and Navy Departments
recently began their inquiries to
determine the wishes Of the next-of-
kin concerning the final burial OF
the men and women who gave their
lives In our country's service during
World War II. In compliance with
the directions given by the Congress,
the desires of the next-of-kin will
be followed as promptly as Is prac-
ticable.
"It is possible that in making
their decision some Of the relatives
of these brave men and women
desire assurance that their dead
shall rest in dignity and honor-a
desire which would be satisfied by
the prospect of visiting the burial
places in our national cemeteries or
the local cemeteries near their
homes. I feel sure, however, that II
they could see for themselves the
care which is devoted to the graves
of those who died in the First World
War, and to the temporary ceme-
teries In which their own dead lie
buried today, many Of the next-to-
kin would prefer that their loved
ones should rest forever In the coun-
tries where they fell.
VA Cemeteries Lack Space.
"I believe, therefore. that our Gov
ernment should make possible pill
grimage to the permanent ceme-
teries overseas. To this pilgrimage
should be invited those OF the next
Of kin who elect that their sons or
husbands shall rest in permanent
cemeteries overseas under the care
of their Government. It should be
organized after the permanent mil
itary cemeteries have been estab-
lished and after the erection OF
headstones and memorial chapek
has sufiiciently advanced to give
reinsurance of the perpetual care
which our country will devote to
the resting places Of our honored
dead"
In this connection, the Veterans
Administration announced yesterday
It does not have space in its "a ceme-
teries to provide burials for any
World war II dead from overseas.
The agency said 1t made the an
nouncement as q result Of the many
inquiries 1t has received from per-
sons anxious to have their next-of-
kin buried in one Of the VA ceme-
teries, only is Of which are still used
for burials. Graves in these ceme-
teries, they said, are restricted to
those veterans who died IN the 126
veterans hospitals and homes"

Romania DeniesSoyief
Received Flour Made
From mAmerican Wheat
BY the Associated Press

BUCHAREST, Romania, May 13.
The Ron1anian government OFF,
cially denied today reports that
famine ridden Romania. had deliv-
cred to the Soviet Union 400 car
loads OF white flour milled from
American wheat imports.
The Romanian Ministry Of For
eign Affairs, stated in q COM
munique:
1.-THE Romanian Minister dn
Washington Is instructed to DEM
onstrate as unfounded a saom-
munique published in the United
States press, according to which the
Romanian government delivered to
Russia 400 carloads Of white -four,
allegedly originating from wheat
imported from the United States.
mo quantity OF grain. however
small, coming from the United
States was delivered to the Soviet
Union. Besides, not single car
load Of wheat has been imported
from the United States, 50 1t be-
comes evident that the assertion Is
unfounded.
"The Ministry Of Foreign Affairs
today sent to the United States
political representative In Bucharest
Burton Y. Berry, all the papers
and documents necessary to prove
that the whole quantity of grain
imported from the United States
was entirely allocated for distribu-
ton to the Romanian population
in need"
On May 8 the Associated. Press
carried q story from washington in
which 1t said the State Department
Russian occupation forces
IN Romania had demanded 400 car
loads Of -four. ~~, u,+,~n 4as.s
The story quoted the department
as saying Romania was about TO
meet the demand and deliver the
-four" but did not indicate that
the transaction already had taken
place, $50 iss.sH aff- a1ia
/. Department oficials commented
to reporters privately that the Soviet
demand was in sharp contrast with
American efforts to ease famine
conditions in Romania. The United
States has been sending food ship
ments to Bucharest. i
Press reports that some food
actually was being sent out of
Romania will be investigated, one
State Department official said, and
II found to be true will probably
result in the United States ending
its famine aid.
