House Studies Bill
On Army Structure

The House today was scheduled
to take UP bill legalizing the
current organization of the Army
The service has been function
ing under the structure for the
last nine years under authority
OF the 1941 War Powers Act, but
when that act expires it would
revert to an organization set up
by the law which dates back to
the time when horses pulled cais-
sons and officers wore Sam
Browne belts.
Originally the Army asked
Congress to give the President,
the Secretary Of Defense or the
Secretary of the Army authority
to establish new basic branches
to handle new weapons-such as
guided miSSiles-and to evolve
tactics. But the version Spon-
sored by Representative Kilday,
Democrat, of Texas. which is be-
fore the House, permits this only
during war or in a national
emergency. Otherwise the Army
would have to make specific re-
quest to Congress.

The measure. similar to one ap.
proved by the House, increases b,

If finally approved by Congress

This move. by Senator Williams

he reiterated his previous charges
that~ there is a 1886 million dis.

Supreme Court Ruling
To Shape Maryland U.
Segregation Policies
BY tho Asseeioisd Press

BALTIMORE, June 7.-Deci-
sions by the Supreme Court in
Washington probably will shape
future policy on racial segregation
at the University Of Maryland, it
appeared today.
The State has on its hands six
lawsuits brought by Negroes seek
ing admission to various branches
of the university. Esther Nc
Cready. Baltimore Negro, already
had won in State courts the right
to enter the university's school of
nursing.
DR.. H. C. Byrd. university pres
1dent, said the board Of regents
had been waiting for the two de,
cisionS handed down by the Su-
preme Court before deciding
whether to appeal the McCready
case. HI
Ruling to Influence Rights.
The decisions involved admis-
sion of Negroes to State universe
ties in Oklahoma and Texas. The
court ruled the States had no
right to segregate them.
DR.. Boyd said the regents un-
doubtedly will be Influenced by
the Supreme Courts rulings.
The next meeting Of the regents
is June %, and the question prob
ably will come UP then.
The long-range policy. DR.. Byrd
said, must be determined by
Maryland's general assembly.
1T is the legislatures RESPONSE
bility, not ours" he declared.
Attorney General Hall Ham
mond, who has been defending
the university against suits for
admission, declined to comment
on the Texas and Oklahoma deci-
sions until he had read them
fully.
Case Started In Baltimore.
The McCready case started in
Baltimore City Court, where Judge
w. Conwell Smith ruled that the
university need not admit her.
Judge Smith found the State had
discharged its obligations by Of
fering to send Miss McCready to-
the Meharry Medical College, a.
Negro school at Nashville, Tenn.
The Maryland Court Of Appeals
reversed Judge Smith, holding
that Maryland must provide with
in its own borders equal public
education facilities for Negroes
AS soon as they are provided for
whites.
The university's law school in
Baltimore is the only branch
which now accepts Negroes. Its
first Negro graduate, incidentally,
is the attorney for the six who are
trying to force their way into
the various schools by means Of
courts. .
The other suits involve the
pharmacy and dentistry schools
IN Baltimore and the college of
engineering and the department
OF home economics at College
Park. "a, -.
