The NAACP petition 10 the
United Nations, presented last
October was cited as recognition
of the importance of the Negro
question on an international scale,
as indicated by the two days OF
discussion devoted to it by the
Human Rights Commission of the
UN at its meeting in Geneva
early in December.
Also cited was the June 20
meeting before the Lincoln Mem
orial in Washington, D. C., where
President Truman delivered his
speech on the rights OF citizens
to an audience of 10000 persons
and by short wave to all points
overseas.
An increased amount of radio
time and magazine and newspa-
per space was made available dur
ing 1947, Mr.. White said. Radio
included Town Hall of the Air
and the Chicago Round Table,
both nationwide programs.
300 Legal Cases
More than 300 legal cases were
advised upon or actually handled
in the busiest legal year in the
history of the NAACP, accord
ing to Thurgood Marshall special
counsel.
In the civil rights cases, one
went to the U. S. Supreme Court
from Mississippi, the Eddie Pat
ton case, where Patton's convic-
ton on murder charge was set
aside on the ground that Negroes
had been excluded from the jury
Most significant case of the
year was the argument in Texas
district court for the abolition of
segregation in education in the
southern states and specifically
for the admission of Heman
Sweat to the law school of the
University of Texas. For the first
time in such cases, NAACP at
torneys presented evidence that
segregation in itself constituted
discrimination In violation of the
l4th Amendment. The case is not
settled as yet
Argument In a similar case in
volving the University is schedul-
cd before the u. S. Supreme
Court January 7 or 8.
In restrictive covenant cases
the NAACP is joining others in
arguing four cases before the U.

preston years" of the early
1905, when strong semi-prO teams
representing the two communities
met each season in lengthy series
for peninsular semi-pr0 titular
honOrs. The same rivalry has con-
tinued through the past decade,
during which both communities
have been represented in the Shore
circuit, excluding, of course, the
wartime period when the league
suspended operations.
Most of last season the Sox and
AS battled it out pretty much be-
tween themselves for possession
of fourth place and a playOffs
berth, with the AS nosing out the
Milford entry on the final day of
the regular season to finish one
half game ahead of their local
rivals.
This season, both teams have
been battling to improve on last
seasons positions and to overhaul
the high-fying Salisbury Cardi-
nails. AS this writing, only a few
games separate the two rivals,
both of whom shape up as pennant
contenders. Games played so far
this season between the AS and
Red SOx have, for the most part,
duplicated similar meetings be-
tween the rivals in years past with
the ultimate outcome generally in
doubt until the final out.

Federal Prisoner Asks Share
In Estate Of Slain Wife

A Federal prisoner has asked
Montgomery County Circuit Court
to let him share an estate in which
his wife, victim of murder, held
"a family interest.
Edgar A. McAllister, who is serv-
ing 20-year term in the Atlanta
penitentiary, petitioned the court to
direct the sale of farm property
near Burtonsville, Md. which is
owned by Mrs. McAllister's brothers
and sisters.
McAlllster was convicted of rape
during Army service in Germany.
Subsequently, his wife Florence was
victim of hammer murder. tor
that crime, Bruce Davis, 80, Laurel
aircraft mechanic, was given a life
sentence
McAllister's petition asks the court
to appoint a trustee to protect his
fclalmed interest in the property.
The farm, containing about IS
acres and several buildings. was ap-
praised in 1916 at s12,40O. Mrs. Nc
Allister held one-sixth interest in
the property. Court attaches said
husband normally would be en-
titled to a maximum of half of the

thereby saving remodeling costs.

Prince Georges Plant,
Two Houses Burn;
LossExceedsS100,00

The plant of the Hall Manufac-
turing Co., at Grain highway and
Central avenue in Prince Georges
County, last night was destroyed by
fire Of undetermined origin. The
firm manufactured doors.
Prince Georges police estimated
the loss between 100000 and $780,
600. Two frame houses on the prop
erty were burned down in addition
to the door plant and lumber sup
plies.
Fourteen Prince Georges fire COM
panies were called to fight the blaze,
which attracted hundreds Of spec
tators. Firemen said their work
was hampered by the inaccessibility
of water. They relayed the water
by stationing trucks at intervals and
pumping it from one to another
through 10000 feet of hose.
The plant was a major supplier
OF doors to Washington builders.
One of the houses destroyed was
occupied by William Thorne, a
watchman, and his wife. Mr.. and
Mrs. Thorne escaped with two of
their four dogs, but two dogs were
destroyed in the blaze, firemen said.
The fire apparently started in
the plant and spread quickly to
nearby stores of lumber and the
houses, according to the Marlboro
Fire Department. The blaze was re-
ported about 10:45 pm. and it
was nearly $3.50 am. today before
