Dean, confronted with the triple

The murderer is fairly well covered

Order 10 EquaIize
Teacher Pay Upheld
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 3.-The
Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals to-
dav affirmed an antidiscrlmination
injunction issued by the Federal
District Court here against the
Chesterfield County School Board
In pay equalization case.
In its brief opinion, the appellate
court held:
This is an appeal in a suit insti-
tuted by colored school teachers
against county School Board to
enjoin discrimination in pay on the
ground Of color. The district judge
found that the discrimination ex-
listed and granted an injunction.
The evidence amply supports the
findings, and the injunction was in
proper form. The decree appealed
from Is afirmed on the opinion of
the court below and the opinion Of
this court in Aston VS.. School Board
Of City Of Norfolk e"
Earlier, Chesterfield County school
of1cials said teacher pay had been
equalized in accordance with the
Injunction.
The county said, however, 1t was
appealing the case to test the valid
ity Of the injunctive order entered
by District Judge Sterling Hutcheson.
In arguments before the Appeals
Court in Baltimore last month the
county contended that every teacher
Is paid what his services are worth,
regardless of his color"
Counsel for the Negro teachers

have consistently been paid less
salaries than white teachers in

Chang Must Go, Rich Chinese

expect no mercy. First reports from

our own traditions of personal free

But he shamed q dinner party
where some wealthy Chinese were
discussing their chances Of getting
out of Shanghai before the Com

Associated Press Foreign Correspondent

SHANGHAI, Dec. g. Wealthy
Chinese of Shanghai, who for a
generation upheld Generalissimo
Chang Kai-shek with cold cash,
drink bitter tea these days.
The only thing which seems to
be restraining their open denuncla-
ition of China's President, whom
they once idolized, is an inability to
figure out some one to take his place
That man must CO." a gray
haired Chinese tycoon shouted at
me, pounding his polished teak
wood table.
Nothing can be done until he
gets out. He's played armies on
against one another and wasted the
nations strength in a futile civil
war which he now is losing.
Lost Poor Glasses Support.
"He has over-taxed the farmers
and shanghaied their sons to tight
the Reds. Long ago he lost the sup
port of the largely indifferent poor
classes.
Now he has turned against his
most faithful supporters-the small.
(business) middle and wealthy
groups-and robbed us Of our saw
ings.
I'VE gave them up to support the
gold yuan Cthe new currency as a
patriotic duty. Now look. 1n1a-
ton has begun again, and I know
the government has reserves to sup
port the yuan no longer than six
months"
The wealthy's dilemma is typified
by an inability to agree on any one
who might replace Gen. Chang.
No sooner is one possible leader
mentioned, than some one thinks OF
some warlord or clique who cannot
imasinahly accept him.
The nearest approach to current
favorite is North Chinas Gen. Flu
Tso-yi, whose honesty and courage
are widely admired. But Shanghai
Chinese are discouraged by his ap-
parent tendency to retreat into
Northwest China.
Ohicials Still Back Chang.
Canvassing old and new Chinese
friends, I've found either disgust
with or hopelessness about Gen
Chiang-except among government
officials.
These friends ask anxiously: "Will
Nine. Chang Kai-shek succeed In
getting sizable aid from American
When told that press accounts OF
a courteous but chill reception in
Washington appear to reflect Amer
ican sentiment, one Chinese said:
Good, that is one thing you Amer
leans must not do. 1t would only
help the Communists and prolons
the agony"
This attitude is true among Chi
nese who appear the most likely to
suffer at Red hands, Christian
minister, a merchant. a stock broker,
q banker, a lawyer and physician.
Obviously, all would be happy to
see Gen. Chang make q comeback,
but they all sum 1t up this way:
There's no hope In this man or his
henchmen."
