By the Associated Press

CINCINNATI. July 11.-Capt
Tom R. Greene, last of family of
famous river pilots, died yesterday
at Evansville, Ind.
Capt. Greene, president of the
Greene Line Steamers, Inc, died
at St. Mary Hospital after heart
attack on the Delta Queen, his
luxury river boat. He was 46.
Life for Capt. Greene started
almost as it ended. on a boat on
the river. He was born on the
Greenland. one of his fathers first
boats. as it was held fast in ice off
Point Pleasant, w. Va.
The Delta Queen made regular
excursion runs between Cincin-
natl and Tennessee. The steamer
also made regular trips down the
Mississippi River to New Orleans
during the Mardi Gras season.
Capt. Greene's mother, the late
Capt. Mary B. Greene, who was
the only licensed woman steam

Sissippi-Ohio River system, died of
a heart attack on the same boat
a year ago last April.

had been repealed by the Act of
1878.
He quoted the high court as
stating that the Act of 1878
"superceded and repealed by i'm
plication" an earlier section of the
revised statutes of the District.
The Supreme Court opinion, he
said. added that there were mo
express words of repeal in the
Act of 1873" but that the whole
tenor of the act shows it was
intended to supercede previous
laws relating to the same subject
matter"
With the possibility that the de-
cision of Judge Myers might ulti-
mately be appealed to the Su-
preme Court, groups interested in
the test case recalled that the
tribunal last month ruled on three
major cases involving racial seq
regation.
The Supreme Court held that
segregation on railroad dining cars
was unlawful because it violated
the Interstate Commerce Act. This
opinion did not pass on consti-
tutionality of the "separate-but-
equal" theory of segregation.
The two other cases affected
professional schools in State uni
versities of Texas and Oklahoma.
The tribunal held that colored
students. when admitted. must
receive the same treatment as
whites. It also held that a colored

SAN FRANCISCO, July H.
Harry Bridges opposition to his
own CIO unions support of United
States action in Korea prectpi-

Several fist fights broke up the
meeting of Local 10, International
Longshoreman's and Warehouse
mems Union, and prevented a vote
on the anti-Communist resolu-
ton. Bridges is a member of the
local.
Angry right-wing longshoremen
booed their international presi-
dent as he led the opposition. The
resolution had been offered by Phil
Sandin, president of the local.
The resolution condemned North
Korean aggression, pledged the
unions loyalty to the United
States, promised to load all war
cargoes, and declared:
We shall not join in, condone
or recognize any Communist dem
or picket lines"
Bridges offered an amendment
expressing support for the United
Nations cease fire" order and
asking peaceful settlement of the
Korean war. Mr.. Sandin said the
same motion was defeated at a
union meeting last week, and thus
had been disposed of. Bridges ap-
peal from Mr.. Sandin's ruling was
defeated by a vote.

but the ailment was not positively
diagnosed as leukemia until after
his arrival here.
After that he underwent a
series of treatments that alter

At first the new hormone cortisone,
which has halted but never cured
leukemia, was administered. This
met at first with such startling
success that Jerry was sent home
after the two weeks at the hospital.
He was the first leukemia patient
to be treated there with cortisone.
Three weeks after his return
home he suffered a relapse, and
was given doses of ACTH, an
other new drug which has shown
marked success. The youngster
failed to respond, and an older
drug, aminopterin. was tried. 1t

State university law school If there
is no school of equal standing for
Negroes.
Judge Myers took the contro-
versial Municipal Court case un-
der advisement after a 2z-hour
hearing on March 81.
In addition to the 33-page brief
submitted by Ringgold Hart, chief
attorney for the Thompson Co.,
he had allowed seven groups op-
posed to segregation to introduce
briefs as friends of the court"
At the hearing. which attracted
standing-room only crowd Of
more than 200 persons. Mr.. Hart
contended the legislative assem-
bly, had no congressional authority
to pass such laws, which he con-
tended were Legislation" and not
police regulations.
He also contended the laws had
been repealed by subsequent legis-
lation. or by implication.
He pointed to the Districts dual
school system and segregated
playground areas as proof that
Congress recognized segregation
here.
The belated attempts to enforce
the statutes, he said, was an
attempt to interfere with property
rights Of the restaurant owners
under the guise of civil rights"
In answer to Mr.. Hart, Mr.. King
said the statutes were a proper
exercise of police power and added
the whole case hinged on this
point.
He cited several cases to show
the hitherto unenforced laws were
not obsolete merely because they
had not been enforced.
Concerning Mr.. Hart's conten-
ton that the laws were "unrea-
sonable," Mr.. King protested it
was unreasonable for colored law
years at court to have to go to U
street or Union Station for lunch.
Judge Myers listened quietly to
the arguments of opposing coun-
sci until Mr.. Hart brought up the
point that. even if the laws were
still in effect, the provision calling
for revocation of a restaurant
owners license for a year was in.

brought down Jerry's white cor
puscle count, but failed to elim-
mate the leukemia condition.
Jerry's case was even taken to
President Truman. On June
his father sent a telegram to the
President asking aid. The urgent
plea was handled by the Office of
Brig. Gen. Wallace H. Graham,
the Presidents personal physician.
Mr.. Funk had read in a Wash
ington paper that a new drug
had been found that would COM
bat blood diseases. the physicians
Office said. When this was found
to be incorrect, Mr.. Truman ex-
tended his sympathy to the
parents.
Meanwhile, Jerry's father ar
ranged for transfer from his New
Mexico job to the VA Office here
to give his son every chance for
the best treatment. Each day
Jerry's mother was at his bedside.
At first the parents stayed with
relatives at 2705 Plyers Mill road,
Silver Spring. They later moved
to 209 Gallatin street NV, where
they now live.
No one was better known at the
hospital than Jerry. Nuns, doc
tors and nurses were always at
Jerry's bedside cheering him. A
television set was placed in his
room and his reaction to TV was
almost uncanny for his age, doc
tors said. Animals and music
made up his favorite programs.
He also loved to open packages
and ride around in a wheel chair.
In addition to his parents, Jerry
is survived by a 5-year-old sister,
Joyce Ann.
Funeral services will be held at
2:30 pm. tomorrow in the Cham

ONCE again selfish, unthinking
and unpatriotic people are
forcing the government to pass
rationing laws. At the first hint
of war in Korea, these persons
rushed to the nearest store and
bought all the sugar they could.
They have continued to visit every
store in the area, some of them
buying 800 pounds at a time. The
result is that some stores have no
sugar to sell to those who aren't
boarding and really need it. We
hope that the selfish Joe Dokes
and their wives stay awake nights
counting each grain of their
precious sugar-and while they do
so, we hope they remember that
American men are dying over
seas, dying on a fetid, muddy and
bloody battlefield. Perhaps their
last thoughts are that their fell
low Americans "back home" are
patriotic and are helping to win
the war. BOARDING is NOT

CEDAR Point expects a big

plans are being made by the oper-

TWO members of the Port Clin-
ton Little Baseball League
learned a lesson in honesty Thurs
day afternoon which they will
never forget. Rules of the ma
tional organization state that only
boys between the ages of eight
and twelve are eligible to play in
the league, and they must sign
statements attesting to their age
before the season opens. League
official Paul Schmitt heard ru-
NOR that one of the boys was
really 13, and while he was an ex-
cellent player, he would be ineligi-
BILE for tournament play. Paul
asked the youth if he was 13 and
when the boy answered in the af-
tirmative, Schmitt explained the
seriousness of the misdemeanor.
"Have you the courage to tell
your teammates you lied about
your age?" Paul asked. With
trembling chin, the youth stam-
mered, 81 guess So" After the
team was called together, the boy
told his teammates he was sorry
that he had lied, that he didn t
want to hurt their chances in the
tournament and that he wished
them ultimate victory. His voice
was choked and tears streamed
down his face as he talked. There
was a stunned silence and then
another player, a Negro boy who
has been a popular sparkplug in
the league, spoke up and con-
fessed, "I'm 13, too, fellows. l
wanted to play so badly, but now
Pm sorry l lied" Schmitt and
other adults hearing the fearful
confessions had difficulty keeping
mist out of their eyes.
