|Theater in Baltimore
Ends Race Ban After
.2-Week Experiment

The Maryland Theater In Bal
timore announced today it has
abandoned its policy of race seq
regation--the issue which has left
Washington without q legitimate
playhouse.
The Associated Press quoted
Charles p. McClane. production
manager of the 46-year-old the
ater, which brings legitimate pro-
ductions to Baltimore from time
Ito time. as saying the house is
to be open to all regardless OF
race or color"
Mr.. McCiane said the theater's
experiment with nonsegregation
during the recent, production of
~Anna Lucasta' led to the change
in policy. He said the theater
management and the performers
union. Actors Equity, had reached
an agreement on the subject.
Washington has been without
access to professional stage enter
tainment since last fall. when the
National Theater was converted to
"a motion picture house. Equity
decided to ban appearances by its
members there unless the manage
ment changed its admission policy
to admit all races.
The Nationals management has
refused to do so until the COM
munity pattern" OF segregation
lis changed.
The Anna Lucasta production,
with an all-Negro cast. was pick
eted in Baltimore by the National
Association for Advancement Of
Colored People and other organ
izations because the audience was
segregated. Negroes had to sit m
the balcony.
On the fourth night of the run.
the Maryland allowed Negroes 70
buy tickets for any seat in the
house. Mr.. McClane said the play
continued two extra weeks TO .
full house.
A bill sponsored by Representa-
tive Celler. Democrat. of New York
and pending in the House. would
authorize the Secretary Of the
Treasury to remodel and lease the
old Belasco Theater here for stage
purposes.

Gloucester Held Liable
For Contempt Fines in
School Board Case
By ihe Assoeioied Press

RICHMOND, Va, May 49,
Contempt of court fines of $3.50
levied against each of foui
Gloucester County school officials
are School Board obligations and
may be paid by coun 7 funds.
A ruling to this effect is con-
tanned in a letter from Attorney
General j. Lindsey Almond, jr-
to John T. Duval. Common
wealth's attorney for the county
Mr.. Almond was asked If the
fines were individual obligations
of the School Board members or
If the county should pay them
The four school officials are
Board Chairman Stanley T. Gray,
Board Members Wallace Fletcher
and Otis Howe and Supt. j. Wal
ter Kenney.
Almond Ruling Quoted.
Federal Judge Sterling Hutche-
son fined them last week "indi-
vidually and in their official ca
pacities" after he had found them
in contempt January 13 for fail
ing to obey an antidiscrimina-
ton injunction In a school equali-
cation case brought by Negroes
"The School Board Is
body corporate and In such
capacity it may sue and be sued Z
MIR. Almond wrote yesterday. In
the instant case it was sued In
its corporate capacity and judg-
ment has been entered against it
by q court Of competent jurisdic-
ton.
1.-THE fact that the judgment
pro-rates the total fines among
the individual board members and
the superintendent and assesses
them individually. does not affect
the status of the liability OF the
School Board. as SUCH"
County Approval Urged.
He continued by saying "in their
official capacity only the indiyid-
ual members constitute the board
In his 'officiai capacity only the
superintendent is the agent and
servant of the board. 1t was only
through their official connection
and identity with the board that
they were or. could have been
joined as party defendants.
Mr.. Almond suggested that the
consent of the County Board OF
Supervisors for payment of the
money from public funds first be
obtained. The School Board met
Monday, but took no action on the
fines. Members were given SO
days In which to pay.
II am Of the opinion that with
such consent first obtained the
school Board may lawfully satisfy
by payment from public funds the
Judgment entered by the District
Court on May ID -. Mr.
! Almond wrote.

U. 5. Pay Tieup
Ends as Truman
Signs Measure
Omission of Strous
And Boke AssuiIed
As Arbitrary

Several thousand Government
employees - including President
Truman himself-today were to
get salary checks that had been
tied UP several weeks. The checks
went out after Mr.. Truman, with
regret" signed stop-gap resolu-
tion that drew his fire because it
banned payments to Reclamation
Commissioner Michael w. Straus.
and Richard Boke, regional direc-
tor at Sacramento, Calf.
The Office of the Housing Ex-
pediter, Office of Defense Trans
portation, War Assets Administra-
ton, Bureau of Engraving and
Printing. Commodity Credit Cor
poration, Bureau of Mint and
Office of Export Control. with a
total of some $4,000 to 10000
workers, were caught In the jam
growing out of efforts on Capitol
Hill to oust the two officers. Both
have been off the payroll since
January 80.
Ostensibly, the fight on the two
was occasioned by their lack OF
qualifications as engineers. The
administration has blamed the
situation on Reclamation Bureau
policies.
Truman Objects to Rider.
In expressing his distaste for
the rider. Mr.. Truman said that
"it places arbitrary and unwise
restrictions on the use of approp-
rated funds"
II want to make 1t clear that I
am signing the present joint res
olution only as means of making
funds available for carrying on
the Governments work while the
principle involved in this provis-
ion is given further consideration"
he added.
The rider originally was at
tached to the Interior Department
appropriation by the Republican
controlled 80th Congress. The
President asked the new Congress
to drop 1t, but it was carried
through.
Mr.. Truman said that "the
presence of this provision in the
Joint resolution does not indicate
the Judgment of the 81st Congress
that such provision is desirable"
and he expressed conviction that
it would be done away with.
Defends Two Men.
"The rider enacted last year."
he said, was designed to effect
the removal from the Government
service of two men who have
vigorously enforced the provisions
of the reclamation laws, designed
to encourage family size farms.
Its enactment violated the spirit.
II not the letter. of the constitu-
tional provisions for separation of
legislative and executive func-
tions and the constitutional pro-
hibition against bills Of at
tainder."
The pay resolution was adopted
when a deficiency bill carrying
funds for pay to June 80 was sty-
mied. President Truman drew
only about a<third of the $12,500
due him in April as the result of
the nlix-up.
