the Federal regulation rather than
Virginia law applied.
Attorneys for Air Terminal Serv.
ices had said Virginia segregation
law was effective because the Fed
eral Assimilative Crimes Act makes
local statutes effective in the ab-
sence Of Federal statutes at Govern
ment reservations. Therefore, they
claimed, the Virginia law requiring
segregation was effective at the air.
port because no Federal law regard
ing segregation was in effect there.
Judge Bryan agreed that the
Assimilative Crimes Act is intended
only to fill in gaps" that exist in
the absence of Federal laws or regu-
lations and is not intended to per-
NIT local laws ito override Federal
policy as expressed by acts of Con-
gress or administrative orders"
Damage Suits to Be Argued.
Judge Bryan said he was of the
opinion that the CAA nonsegrega-
ton directive, therefore, was not
barred by the Assimilative Crimes
Act.
Judge Bryan acknowledged that
certain specific exemptions from
Federal jurisdiction had been given
the airport, but he said these ex-
emptions "are not controlling" in
this case.
Meanwhile, attorneys were pre-
pairing to argue Thursday in three
damage suits growing out of alleged
discrimination against colored per-
sons at the airport dining room.
Two women each are seeking
$48, 900 damages from the Terminal
Services concern, CAA and Eastern
Air Lines, asserting they we're re-
fused services in the airport dining
room during a stopover on an EAL
flight. A third woman is asking
SIS 900 from Air Terminal Services
on similar charges.
Members of the National Negro
Council, meanwhile, said they were
sending a telegram to President Tru-
man "saluting him" in the first
fruits of the Presidents civil rights
crusade" with the elimination of
segregation at the airport.

NANKING, China, Jan. 4 R.-

from negotiation with the Com
