asked for 100000 to widen Benning

There is no assurance that the

Since the law makes no provisions
for and gives no special considera-
ton to former members OF the
merchant marine, they are exactly
as liable for induction as any other
nonveteran.
When the draft law was being
written by Congress some members
thought former merchant mariners
should get the same deal as veter-
ans. However, those members
couldn't put it across.
Neither the President nor Selec-
tive Service can do anything at all
about former members of the mer-
chant marine. The only thing which
could change their status would be
a change in the law itself, a Selec-
! tive Service official told me.
/ Here's another question bothering
thousands of single, nonveteran draft
registrants.
If I get married after I have
registered" they ask. docs that de-
/ fer me from the draft? Or do 1 have
to be married before the time
register?"
After or before. it doesn't make
any difference. The point is, if you
are married at the time you are
classified, you will not be drafted
/ If you marry after classification
you can ask to have your classifica-
ton changed. Selective Service will
not say it officially, but this seems
to be the lie of the land:
/ If your local board thinks your
marriage is not for the purpose OF
avoiding being drafted, but is done
in good faith and with honest inten-
tions, it will reopen your case and
reclassify you as deferrable. But il
it thinks you are getting married
Just to avoid the draft, it will not
reopen your case and you will no,
be deferred.
! That's about as clear as q mud
puddle. but it's the sum total oi
what I can get out of Selective
Service.

"Opens in Killing
OF Brill Girl
Baltimore Hondymon
Also Indicted in
D. 6. ChiId's Death
BY the Associoted Press

BALTIMORE, Sept. 20.-Eugene
James. 31-year-old janitor and
neighborhood handyman, was called
up for trial in criminal court today
on a charge he murdered 11-year-
old Marshal Brill as she was BIZ
cycling with playmates last July
along Wood-fringed road.
Through William H. Murphy, his
attorney, James, who is colored
pleaded not guilty by reason of in
sanity and chose to be tried by the
court without a jury.
The court instructed DR.. Man.
fred Guttmacher. medical advisor to
the Supreme Bench, to conduct q
psychiatric examination. Under
court rule, DR.. Guttmacher did not
dlvulge his findings to the court or
attorneys connected with the case.
They will be made public when he
testifleS.
James was arrested several hours
after man jumped from the
underbrush July 6. pulled Marsha
of her bicycle and stabbed her.
Charged With Killing.
Two days later, he was charged
with her murder and also with the
rape of a 38-year- old woman in
June. The charges were entered
against him after police announced
they had found the butcher knife
which killed Marsha and James had
been taken to the scene.
Meanwhile, Washington authori-
ties-struck by the similarity of the
Brill Staying with that of Carol
Bardwell, II, nine days previously
entered the case.
Carol was killed while bicycling
in Rock Creek Park. Washington.
Indicted in Staying.
A grand jury in Washington later
returned an indictment charging
James with murder in that case
Washington police have quoted
James as admitting he killed the
Bardwell child.
AS an outgrowth of the James
case. five Baltimore area radio sta
tions and a radio news editor have
been cited to show cause why they
should not be held in contempt of
court for their handling of news
stories about it.
The stations were cited under a
Baltimore City Court rule restrict
mig publication of crime news.
Their cases will be heard some
time after conclusion of the murder
trial.

School Discrimination
In Richmond CHARGED
In Reply 10 Report
BY the Asseeioied Press

RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 20-City
Councilman Oliver w. Hill yester-
Ifiay replied ton report of G. Tyler
Miller. State superintendent of pub-
lie education, by charging there is
educational discrimination even in
the city of Richmond"
Mr.. Miller's report, issued Satur-
day, cited Negro school progress
throughout the State and asked CO.
operation instead of court actions
such as have been brought against
Arlington, Surry. Gloucester. King
George and Chesterfield Counties.
Mr.. Hill told members of the
Richmond Chapter, National Asso-
citation for the Advancement of
Colored People, regarding Mr., Mil
ler's report:
He asks us to cooperate and
give him time. l ask you, how
much time does he need?
1T has been eight long years
since the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals in the Aston case
decreed that discrimination in
Negro teachers salaries was viola
ton of their Constitutional rights.
And still. in Mr.. Miller's own report,
he says that 80 counties and five
cities are still discriminating
Mr.. Hill is member of the law
firm representing Negro children in
recent court actions before Federal
Judge Sterling Huteheson in an
effort to achieve equal school facili-
ties.
Mr.. Miller knows" he declared,
chat even in the, city of Richmond
there is no such thing as nom
discriminatory facilities for Negro
education. AS long as there are sep
arate schools in Virginia there will
be discrimination in Virginia"
Mr.. Hill said, THE only way we
can achieve a semblance of equality
is to continue to press for our rights

Progressives Seeking
To Become Opposition
Party, Mrs. Durr Says
BY the Associoted Press

RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 20.-The
immediate purpose of the Progress
sive Party in Virginia was pictured
by its senatorial candidate here
yesterday as the building of itself
into an Opposition party"
Il don't think the Democratic
and Republican Parties in Virginia
are opposition parties said the
candidate. Mrs. Virginia Durr of
Fairfax County. Mrs. Durr held a
press conference after the State
Committee of the Progressive Party
met to plan the fall campaign.
Mrs. Durr said she would cam
paign "as best I can" and said it
would be as a housewife with chill
dren-against high prices and for
educational improvements in the
State.
Sees Better Chance in Future.
"Oh certainly" Mrs. Durr replied
when asked if she thought the
Progressive Party would have bet
ter chance for success four years
from now. She said she thought
Henry Wallace was attempting to
build up an opposition party for the
future.
AS for this years campaign in
Virginia. Mrs. Durr was uncon-
cerned whether the efforts of the
Progressive Party would assure a
Republican victory in the State.
AS far as I can see the Byrd
machine and the COP are the same
in Virginia" she said. Il strongly
suspect the members Of the Byrd
machine will vote for Dewey"
Devoted" to Wallace.
In the November election Mrs
Dulr will oppose Democratic Sena-
tor Robertson and the Republican
nominee, Robert H. Woods of Pearls
burg
Mrs. Durr said the main reason
she accepted the Progressive Party's
nomination (she was in Europe at
the time, was because she was 100
per cent devoted, personally and
politically, to Henry Wallace"
At the committee meeting, the
appointed q six-man
State Campaign Committee, headed
by George Elwood. State executive
secretary of the party. Other mem-,
bers are Bruce Wayber, Arlington;
Mrs. Sonora B. Lawson, Richmond:
Louis Ginsberg. Petersburg: San
ford Berlin. Norfolk, and Marvin
Caplan. Richmond

ture until July /, 1949. Capital
Transit proposes to begin track re-
moval about March !, 1949. The
one-mile stretch of the Rosslyn-to-
Benning carline from Fifteenth and
H streets NE, to Kenilworth ave-
nue., then, will be tied up-flrst with
track removal. then with paving
for six months to year.
That takes care of about one
third of the entire project and TO-
cuses attention westward to the
stretch of track lying wholly within
the business districts of H street
and New York avenue.
A District official said the fiscal
situation forces city highway plan
ners to view the track removal and
repaving project as long-term
proposition. There is no money to
take care of the project at one
Whack.
While it is likely the Highway
Department and Capital Transit
will agree to leave abandoned tracks
in place until the District can af-
ford to pave removal scars. such an
arrangement makes it equally likely
that the entire project will be strung
out over a period of years.
