U TODENY RECOGNITION TO new
ORGANIZATIONS WITH RACE LIMITS

No new campus organizations
with discriminatory racial ana re-
ligious barriers will be approve
by the University, the Senate
ruled yesterday.
Groups already functioning are
not directly affected by the order.
However. those groups which do
have racial and religious restric.

fled of the University's "disap-
proval" of such barriers.
The clause In the revised code
states that recognition shall not
be granted to any new orgaDiza'
ton having racial or religious re-
strictions on membership eligibili-

Little Immediate Effect
The Senate's action will have
little effect on operating groups
until the end of the year, when all
organizations are required to sub
NIT applications for renewal Of
approval. If any group should sub
NIT an application which contains
discriminatory restrictions, it will
be informed by letter of the Uni

The passage relating to old
groups reads:
when recognition is granted tc
a previously recognized organiza

membership eligibility, the Local
group and its national affiliate, Il
any, shall be informed of the Uni

including Jackie Robinson and
Hugh Casey. But there may be
trouble ahead.
Robinson, who got the big-league
minimum of $1,000 for playing
fire base for Brooklyn last season
would not say what his new salary
is. But estomates ranged from
SIP, 5000 to $4,000. Casey is ex-

Main problems in any future
signing are likely to be Eddie

voluable in saying he doesn't like

Kansas City Negroes Show

"As a result" the Ebony feature
continues, party bosses are an
xious to please colored voters and
have given three out of every ten
government Jobs to Ngroes al
though only two out OF every ten
votes are Negro"
Aside from jobs, the Negro vote
as balance of power In X. c.
politics has meant better educa-
ton, better health facilities and
more police protection for the man
in the street. Ebony says. The
feature continues:
voting as a bloc, colored voters
represente balance of power and
are as reliable q barometer Of
K. C. voting as Maine is to the
nation. When X. C. Negroes voted
for Roosevelt, the whole city went
for FDR. When In 1916 some 81
per cent Of the colored precincts
went Republican, the city went to

Montgomery Hearing
Reveals. Plans for
z Apartment Projects

Plans for construction of two
apartment projects at an estimated
total cost OF about 50 500 coo were re-
vealed at hearings on two rezoning
petitions yesterday before the Mont
gomery County Commissioners.
The requests were among seven
heard by the board in the Silver
Spring Liquor Dispensary Building.
All were taken under advisement.
Roy r. Hunt, who applied for the
rezoning from residential A to c of
property on the south side of Piney
Branch road in the area bounded bv
Old Bladensburg road and Long
Branch, Takoma Park, said he
planned to erect 140 apartment units
to cost about $1,500,000. There was
no opposition.
The second petition was filed by
Katherine E. Lord and Catherine T..
Vance, who sought the reclassifica-
ton from residential A to c and
commercial D of land at Forest
Glen and Seminary road, Forest
Glen.
Their attorney, John r. Reeves,
presented an architects sketch of
proposed 100-unit apartment hotel
which he said would be built at a
cost OF about $1,000, 900. The prof.
ect would include nine stores.
It was opposed by about a dozen
property owners in the area on the
ground there is adequate CONNER
cially zoned land there. They con-
tended an apartment hotel would
reduce home values and create a
traffic hazard. -

Prospects for Settlement
OF Rail Dispute Brighter
By the Assoeiotsd Press

Prospects for settlement Of the
lengthy rail dispute frightened today
as the White House stubbornly
pressed for action from a face-to-
face meeting between union and
management officials.
The heads of the three rail unions
asking higher wages were brought
together with the carrier representa-
tives yesterday by Presidential As
sistant John r. Steelman.
A four hour session brought no
immediate results, but 1t was be-
lieved that a definite settlement
plan was being considered. Asked
about chances for final agreement,
Mr.. Steelman told reporter:
Il am not sure, but tomorrow
we'll try again"
The three unions-barred by court
order from stalling the Govern
ment-operated railroads-were rep
resented by Alvanley Johnston for
the engineers, David B. Robertson
for the f1remen and enginemen,
and Arthur j. Glover for the switch
men. Their talks with management
were due to resume this morning.

Reece Says Dewey Wants
Him to Aid in Campaign
By the Associoted Press

Carroll Reece, former Republican
National chairman, said today he
has been asked by Gov. Dewey to
help campaign for the Republican
presidential ticket.
He told a repprter he does not
know in what capacity he will con-
tinue to serve the party, but he
said he is willing to help because
he believes the Dewey Warren COM
bination is a good ticket"
Mr.. Reece, who gave up a seat in
the House to accept the party chair
manship without pay, was a sup
porter of Senator Taft, of Ohio for
the nomination at Philadelphia. He
said he is ''philosophical' about the
Taft defeat and believes Senator
Taft feels the same way
Mr.. Reece said he will go home
to johnson City, Tenn, for an
indefinite rest before doing whatever
is asked of him in the campaign.
He still has his extensive banking
and other interests, he said, and
need not worry about finding a
paying job.
