U. 5. Will Propose
Later Meeting Of
Big 4 on Colonies
Session Tomorrow, Urged
By Russians, Declared
Obviously Too Soon

The United States will propose
another date instead of tomor-
row for a meeting Of the Big
-Four Foreign Ministers Council
in Paris to discuss the future Of
Italy'S former African colonies,
I q State Department spokesman
said today.
Michael J. McDermott, State De-
partment press officer, said the
Russian proposal for a meeting to-
morrow is obviously too soon." An
American representative hardly
could get to Paris by tomorrow, he
added, and obviously we will have
to propose some other date"
Mr.. McDermott said he hoped a
reply to the Russian suggestion pro-
posing another meeting time before
September Is would be ready some
time this afternoon.
He told reporters that there def
nitely will be a meeting Of the For
eign Ministers Council on the Ital-
ian colonies before September IS
and that the United States will be
represented at it.
Marshall Not to Attend.
Secretary of State Marshall, N a
note to Moscow yesterday stating
that this Government does not be-
lieve any useful purpose can be
served by the meeting unless the
Soviet Government has new pro-
posals to offer, made it clear he will
be unable to attend the session in
person.
Mr.. McDermott said it remained
to be determined who would repre-
sent Gen. Marshall at the session
sought by the Russians. Samuel
Reber, deputy director of the State
Departments ONCE of European AZ
fairs, who has represented Gen.
Marshall in some previous discus
sions about the italian colonies, left
! Washington yesterday by air for
London. Mr.. McDermott said he
did not know the purpose OF .Mr.
Reber's trip.
It was expected that either Mr..
Reber or Ambassador Lewis Doug
las in London, who also has taken
part in some previous discussions of
the colonies question, would be des-
| ignated to represent Gen. Marshall
in the Paris session.
In the absence of any new pro-
posals from Moscow that would
give some chance of resolving the
wide divergence" of views so far
expressed on the future of the Ital-
ian colonies, Gen. Marshall sug-
gested in the note to Moscow. that

In New York the business agents OF
the union always are equipped with

some employers make contributions
as a means of averting trouble.
Leaders Stir Strife; Witness Saws
The association official said the
Fur Workers Union leadership pro.
notes unrest and strikes when they
could get the same benefits from
management without such strife.
Mr.. Greenberg pointed out that
other needle trades such as the In.
ternational Ladies Garment Workers
OF David Dubinsky have obtained
Denef1ts equal to those of the fu1
workers and have not had a strike
for Is years.
Several witnesses added to testi.
mony already before the committe.

KING GEORGE COURT
HOUSE, Va, Sept. 9.-Ten Negro
students today were denied ad-
mittance to the white school
here by T. Benton Gale, school
superintendent, who said such
action would violate the laws
and Constitution of Virginia re-
quiring segregation.
The group, led by an attorney for
the National Association for the
Advancement Of Colored People,
made its brief appearance without
Incident and then returned to the
King George Training School for
Negroes, about Is miles east of Fred
ericksburg, where they had refused
to register at the opening Of classes
yesterday.
The grounds of the King George
High School-for white children
were surrounded by parked car!
containing a total of about 100 per-
sons. They were mostly white ant
appeared to be only curious. Ther'
was no show of feeling.
Attorneys Authority Questioned.
The Negro ch.aGIen were brought
the four miles from their school ir
new station wagon. Two or three
cars carrying adults accompanied
them.
MIR. Gale met the attorney, Mar
tin A. Martin, colored, of Richmond
on the steps of the white high
school and invited him into the
principals Office for the conference
With him was w. Lester Banks,
executive secretary of the Virginia
State Conference of the NAACP.
The students who accompanied Mr..
Martin stayed on the steps outside.
Mr.. Gale inquired by what
authority Mr.. Martin appeared in
behalf of the students and asked for
evidence In writing. The attorney
replied he had been retained by a
group OF parents, but did not offer
to show papers.
Differences Center on 2 Points.
In the discussion that followed, a
difference of opinion centered on
two main points:
Whether Federal laws governing
equalization Of school facilities
supersede Virginia laws on segre.
cation.
Whether Mr.. Martin had been
reasonable" in the length of time
allowed King George County tc
make improvements to the Negro
training school. These improvements
had been ordered by Federal Judge
Sterling Hutcheson to bring facil-
tiles there to substantially the same
level as those at the white school.
Mr.. Gale said the School Board
had received formal notice Of the
court order a little more than a
month before the training school
opened yesterday. Mr.. Martin, on
the other hand, said the courts
decision was known as early as
April and authorities should have
acted promptly.
Mr.. Martin said school officials
had not come to him to work out
an agreement which, he indicated
might have been done.
Earlier, Mr.. Martin had indicated

Slow Drivers Same
Menace AS Speed
Demons On Road

Automobile drivers who crawl
along at a snairs pace are as great
a danger to safety as are the mile
a-minute speeders. That's the Opin-
ion of autOmOtive experts, accord
ing to the September Journal Of
Living.
Like the man who drives too fast,
the one who goes too slow is all too
often the cause of sudden death
his own and that of others. Traffic
engineers say that slow driving ac-
tually causes many more accidents
than the figures show. Miles after
slow car has damned the flow of
traffic, some driver may run into
trouble because he is trying to
make up lost time, or because he
has worked himself into a nervous
state.
AS the legal speed limits move
Up, problems created by slow driv-
ing became more acute. The Nation
al Conference on Street and High
way Safety has even gone on rec
ord that TO person shall drive AZ
speeds slow enough to impede nor
NAL movement of traffic.
II you are a slow driver, either
from choice or necessity, then
there's a special technique you
should learn. First, keep to the
right-the right lane is the "slow"
lane. Second, keep going at a uni
form speed-dOn't squirt ahead ev-
cry once in while. This makes it
easier for other cars to pass you
safely.
Slow drivers are better off on
multiple-lane highways, says the
Journal of Living article. They are
less likely to Obstruct traffic than
on tWO-lane roads, because there is
plenty of safe passing room.

Freight Cars Jump
Track In Milford

In all probability Pennsy freight
engineers are going to begin con-
sldering this area a Jonah for
shifting freight. if any more cars
jump the track. On Monday night,
two went off the rails, and because
they were heavily loaded, wrecking
crews had to labor all night and
into the next morning to get them
back or the rails. 1t has not been
so long since a car jumped the
track, here, and we are told there
has been several near misses. It is
possible that a section of the rail
bed IN the area near Pettyiohn's
Crossing is settling.
