Bishop Tries TO Solve
Costa Rica Dispute
BY the Associated Press

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica, Mar. o.
Archbishop Victor Manuel Sanabria
of Costa Rica was trying today to
hold together the shaky political
structure of this Central American
republic.
The bishop conferred late into
last night with leaders of the gov
eminent and opposition parties in
an effort to get agreement on q
president-designate. The new con-
gress convenes May to make the
selection.
Otilio Ulate Blanco, publisher, was
declared elected President after the
stormy February 8 election. His op-
ponent, Rafael Calderon Guardia,
a former President, charged fraud.
Congress upheld Mr.. Calderon and
annuued Ulate's election. With the
Office open, Congress must act.
Twice in the last "a hours, it was
learned, the archbishop has sue
ceeded in persuading Ulate not to
make a speech which some believed
would have resulted in q general
strike.
Yesterday Rene Picado Michalski,
brother of President Licencido Teo-
doro Michalski, left Costa Rica for
Mexico City. He said before leaving
that he intended to go to the
United States and become a citizen.
when he reached Mexico City
last night, he denied any such
intention. He said he would visit
his wife and children there for
about two weeks and then return

Students at Negro College
STAGE Protest Food Strike
BY the Assoeiofed Press

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Mar. g.
About 300 boarding students at the
State Negro Teachers College here
we're on strike" today against what
one described as poor meals" at
the college dining hall
Student Ed Moore of Birmingham
blamed the refusal of his classmates
to go in for the evening meal last
night on food mot sufficiently nour-
ishing" and because there isn't
enough Of it,"
President H. Councill Trenholm
said he had no information as to
what issues were involved in the
student demonstration and refused
to make a statement.
After passing up their regular
meal at the school cafeteria, most
of the students went to their rooms
to cook hot dogs and make sand
witches. A few said they had been
doing this for week or more.
c. A. johnson, assistant manager
of the cafeteria, said he had re-
ceived no formal" complaint
against the food, and suggested that
the demonstration was perhaps a
sympathy strike" in behalf of 800
or 400 students who, he asserted,
have not paid their fees or received
meal books.

Democratic State Unit
In Virginia 10 Discuss
Anti-Truman Bill
by the kssoeiatsd Press

RICHMOND, Mar. 6.-Discussion
of Gov. Tuck's substitute anti -Tru-
man proposal was due this afternoon
at a meeting of the State Demo-
cratic Central Committee. |
House Committee action on the
measure has been deferred until
next week. However, Chairman Roy
B. Davis Of Halifax said no special
time for consideration has been set
by the Privileges and Elections
Committee.
Mayor Horace H. Edwards of Rick
mond, chairman of the State Com
mittee, expressed opposition to some
phases of the original bill. He
has made no comment on the substi-
tute proposal. He praised the Gov
ernors stand on the State rights
issue but said he could not sup
port any proposal restricting the
free choice of candidates.
Sees No Danger in Delay.
Apparently the organization did
not foresee any danger to the bills
chances Of passage in the General
Assembly's final week by delaying
committee action a few days. 1t
did foresee the possibility Of further
adverse criticism If any hurry up
tactics were adopted.
The House committee reported out
the original and much stronger
"anti-Truman" measure last week,
one day after Gov. Tuck proposed
it in a speech to the General As
sembly denouncing the Presidents
civil rights program. The Senate
received an identical bill but its
Privileges and Elections Committee
has, as yet, taken no action.
1t appeared likely that the House
of Delegates would have the matter
before it by Tuesday. Then it prob
ably will be taken up out of order
and passed so the Senate may have
time for debate and vote before
the curtain is rung down Saturday
on the 1948 session.
Names Allowed on Ballot.
The original elections bill would
have banned the names of presiden-
tial and vice presidential candidates
from the ballot and made 1t impos-
sible for the Wallace third party to
appear on the ticket. 1t reserved
for the State Democratic Conven-
ton the decision on how Virginia S
electors would vote.
The substitute measure allows
candidates names to appear on the
ballot together with party electors.
However, the Democratic Party
electors still could be instructed on
how to cast the States II electoral
votes by the State Democratic Con-
vention. The convention is pledged
to meet at least 60 days before the
November elections.
The substitute bill also would per-
NIT the Wallace party, or any other
political party, to appear on the
ballot if it could present a 1000
name petition.

nounced he will vote against the
civil rights program.
In letter to the Denison (Texas)
Herald he said he is against any
bill that has tendency toward Grip
pling our segregation laws"
In the past, Southern Senators
have used the filibuster to talk to
death all efforts to enact civil rights
measures.
But Republicans and Northern
Democrats can get civil rights bill
before the Senate by offering it as
an amendment to another measure
or making a motion under just the
right parliamentary circumstances.
Meanwhile, most Southerners took
little notice of proposal approved
yesterday by a House Judiciary Sub
committee for amendment of the
Constitution to elect Presidents and
Vice Presidents by popular vote.
This move, sponsored by Repre-
sentative GosSett, Democrat, of
Texas, would do away with the elec-
toral college system.
The job of amending the Con-
stitution is a long one. And the
Southern rebels said they are IN
terested in what happens this year
to Mr.. Truman and to the Demo-
cratic Party if it adopts his civil
rights program.

Law 10 Bar Meetings.
OF KIan Demanded
By Georgia Governor
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

ATLANTA, Mar. 6.-Gov. M. E.
Thompson. in strong stand against
the Ku Klux Klan, today called for
laws to end its meetings of intimi-
dation"
The Georgia Governor issued
statement accusing the Khan of de-
livering the South Into the hands
of our enemies" and accused the
hooded secret order of aiding Com
munists and race baiters."
His denunciation of the Klan was
coupled with a restatement of his
opposition to proposed Federal anti
lynching laws.
The Governor referred to recent
election-eve demonstrations by the
Klan in two Central Georgia coun-
ties where Negroes were registered
to vote, and declared:
While our Senators and Con-
gressmen tell the world that we
have enough laws and will enforce
them, the Ku Klux Klan by such
meetings cut the ground from be-
meath their feet
Civil Rights Program Hit.
At both rallies Klan leaders spoke
against President Truman's pro-
posed civil rights program and de-
clared themselves for white su-
premacy."
Gov. Thompson characterized the
Klan type of mind" as anti-south-
ern and said the Klan itself was
giving laid to the Communists, the
race baiters and the radical organi-
cations which are pushing the leg
islation we deem unwiSe and un-
necessary"
He appealed to "the ministers and
good people Of our State to see to
it that the Legislature gives us laws
which will permit our courts to pre-
vent such harmful actions and
deeds"
In support of his contention that
Federal anti-lynching legislation is
necessary, Gov. Thompson last night
ordered four persons transferred
from the State penitentiary at
Reidsville back to local authorities.
Four Held In Staying.
The prisoners, two men and two
women, are held in connection with
the killing of a Georgia Bureau of
Investigation agent. -t
The agent, Garland Fields, was
slain near his home at Swainsboro,
Wednesday. The four prisoners we're
captured after an extensive man
hunt and two gun battles.
Gov. Thompson said if the four
were kept at Reidsville there might
be assertions that Georgia feared to
release them to local authorities.
There is no fear Of mob danger"
he said.
In his statement on the Klan the
Governor said Georgia had sufficient
laws to suppress lynching without
imposition of Federal law.

An $0,UVU,OUO increase IN contract

yesterday in. acting on the Labor.

The committee raised the author.
lied expenditure from $31 ,S30, 900 to
$40 ,000, 900 and added an "escalator'
clause to insure against further de-
lay in the project.
The center would conduct general
medical research, with emphasis on
cancer, heart disease and mental
disorders. It would be located ut
the National Institute of Health.
The bill. as recommended by a
subcommittee headed by Repre-
sentative Keefe, Republican, OF
Wisconsin, also proves contract au-
thority up to $2,950, 900 for con-
struction of long delayed new
facilities at st. Elizabeth's Hospital,
including inf1rmary buildings, a
laundry. warehouse and storage
structures.
Demonstration Clinic Blocked.
The committee held up funds for
the Public Health Service mental
hygiene program, including a DEM
onstration clinic at College Park,
Md, serving Prince Georges County.
Representative Keefe indicated, dur
ing the hearings, he favored direct
research as against such demon
stration projects.
The Public Health Service argued
the clinic was valuable in testing
techniques and had the indorse-
ments of the American Psychiatric
Association and other professional
groups.
Freedmen's Hospital and Howard
University would receive most Of
their budget requests, including "a
additional instructors for Howard.
An outlay of $4,000 is recon-
msnded for preparation of a master

The transcript of hearings on the
bill, made public yesterday. included
statements by Howard spokesmen
that diversion of INDECENT Negro pa
tients from Freedmen's Hospital to
Gallinger Hospital was handicap
ping the teaching program OF the
Howard Medical School.
DR.. Paul B. Cornely, Freedmen's
medical director, told the committee
the dif1culty arose when the District
Health Department ran out of funds
to pay for its INDECENT cases at
Freedmen's. Increased rates were
authorized by the Budget Bureau
last year, he recalled.
The shortage of INDECENT patients
at Freedmen's since the District be-
gan sending as many as possible to
Gallinger made it difficult for How
ard doctors 10 find good teaching
subjects for their students, DR..
Cornely said. He pointed out most Of
the paying patients in the hospital
can 'just barely" pay, causing doc
tors to hesitate to prescribe ex-
pensive laboratory and diagnostic
tests, which they would order
promptly in the cases of INDECENT
patients.
Further, he said, cases followed
for some time in the Freedmen's
out-patient clinic now often 60 to
Gallinger when disqualification be-
comes necessary. thereby preventing
the Howard doctors and their stu
dents from following through on
their observations.
