future.
Particularly significant to the
CIO is the clear recognition by the
Supreme Court that there is a
vital difference between voluntary
and involuntary separation.
"The court conceded that indi-
vidual students In the University
of Oklahoma had a right not to
mingle with members Of different
races, II they desired not to do so.
but 1t stated that the State had no
power to deprive Negroes Of the
right to secure voluntary accept
ance by their fellow students.
This means that although indi-
viduals can practice prejudice II
they SO wish, the State cannot
force them to do so.
This gives firm SUPPORT to the
CLOS determination not to abide
by any statutes. regulations or or
dinances which seek to compel
CIO organizations to practice seq.

Charles E. Wilson. president of

that the precedent-setting con-
tract signed recently by. his cor

"the classical reactionary position

Conferees Restore
Funds for Transfer
OF Naval Observatory
Agreement Is Reached
On $500 Million Bill
For Defense Projects

Funds for removal of the Naval
Observatory to Charlottesville,
Va. were restored today when
Senate and House conferees
reached agreement on a $500 mil
lion defense public works bill.
House conferees agreed to res
toration of 81 million in the bill
to transfer the observatory from
its present site on Massachusetts
avenue
Originally, the House Armed
Services Committee had stricken
from the bill a Senate approved
provision Of SIS million for the
observatory transfer.
Shortly after the House acted,
plans for construction of a 1000
bed hospital center on the Mas
sachusetts avenue site after the
observatory moved were dropped.
Present plans call for construc-
ton of the hospital center on the
Soldiers Home grounds.
43 Projects Accepted.
Chairman Vinson of the House
Armed Services Committee said
the conferees accepted 43 public
works projects, which had been
inserted by the House and that
the Defense Department would be
notified that no public works pro-
gram would be approved next
year except in the event OF an
emergency.
The House had stricken from
the bill approximately $l0s million
for family housing at military and
naval bases in the continental
United States on the ground that
such construction could be done
by private builders with Govern
ment aid under the Wherrv Act.

By Harold B. ROGERS

Proposed extension of District

Robert F. Cogswell, District

principal argument for the extern

was great need for restrictions to

PARIS. June 8.-Minister of in

Under the terms of the draft
law two councils could be insti-
tuted. The first. composed of
publishers and editors and heads
of press associations, would be
called the High Council of the
Press. The second. headed by a
judge, would be called the Council
of Newspapermen.
The task of the projected Press
Council would be to safeguard

By Senate Group
Three-Yeur Extension

House-Pussed Bill

The Senate Armed Services
Committee today approved a bill
to extend the present selective
service law for three years with
out any restrictions on inductions.
A House-passed version of the
measure would extend the law,
which expires June "a, for two
years with the provision that there
could be no inductions until Con-
greSS declared a national emer-
gency by concurrent resolution.
The Senate committee also ac-
.cepted an amendment by Senator
Russell. Democrat, of Georgia that
every inductee be given the right
to express his preference as to
whether he wanted to serve only
in a unit composed of members
of his own race.

urging of the Presidents Com

Gently appealed to the Senate
committee for a three-year extern
sion of the draft law without
restrictions as an aid to world

The present law allows the
administration to order inductions
whenever it deems necessary and
Mr.. johnson told the committee
"if you don't give us a draft law,
we will have to come back later
and ask you to give us something
to get them in"
There have been no draft calls
since January. 1949, but Mr.. john
son said the mere existence of the
law has the effect of boosting
voluntary enlistments.
The Senate committee voted
unanimously for the unrestricted
version.
House Bill Limited.
Under both House and Senate
versions of the bill, all youths
reaching 18 years must be regis
tered. and classified by local
boards. But under the House
bill, which even changed the name
from selective service to man
power registration, CONSUMPTION
would remain on the shelf and the
President would be prevented
from mobilizing industry or TAX
ing plants for defense purposes.
The House bill also banned
voluntary enlistments for under
two years and provided that 18-
year-olds may not volunteer.

of Commerce issued a statement
urging a three-year extension
with authority for the President

Navy Probably
Delayed Arrests,
Senators Told
By Cecil HoIIond

A secret Federal grand jury in
New York, congressional source
reported today, is investigating the
mysterious 1945 Amerasia Maya
zine case.
The grand jury, it was said, has
called in a number of witnesses
who have testified before a Senate
Foreign Relations subcommittee
currently looking into the case as
part of its investigation of charges
of Communism in the State De-
partment.
This was reported as it was
learned that the Senate group has
received testimony that the late
James v. Forrestal, Secretary of
the Navy at the time the Amera-
sia case broke. probably advised a
delay in the arrest of six persons
in the case.
Federal Officials Called.
An informed congressional
source said the witnesses called by
the grand jury included JUS
tice Department and FBI officials
who worked on the five-year-old
case that involved the alleged
theft of classified documents.
Assistant Attorney General
James M. McInerny. who was in
charge Of the Amerasia prosecu-
tions. was among those said to
have testified before the grand
jury.
1t could not be learned who
initiated the grand jury investiga-
tion or what particular phases of
the case it is considering.
McInerny Testifies.
The testimony concerning Mr..
Forrestal was given to the Senate
group, it was learned, by Mr..
McInerny, chief of the Justice De-
partment'S criminal division. He
reportedly was unable to say why
Mr.. Forrestal requested the delay
Two Possible Factors Cited.
One Of the six persons arrested
in the case was Andrew Roth
then a lieutenant in naval in
telligence. One report was that
the Navy thought arrests should
be delayed pending further in
vestigation as totwhether any one
else in the department was i'm
plicated.
Another report was that Mr.
Forrestal desired to avoid fric.
tion with Russia over American
trusteeship rights to Pacific
islands seized from Japan.
In addition to the information
from Mr.. McInerney. the COM
mittee received testimony yester-
day that James K. Vardaman
former presidential naval aide
may have tried to delay prose-
cutionS in the controversial case

Panthers Next
Derby Foes
In Sports Arena

The Philadelphia Panthers,
now in third place in the Ma
tional Roller Derby League,
will be the next team to tackle
the Toledo Westerners at the
Sports Arena. The Panthers
open a five-game schedule at
the Sports Arena Friday night
april 28).
The Roller Derby made its
initial appearance in Toledo last
week when the Chicago West
erners appeared as the Toledo
entry and successfully turned
back the threat of the Jersey
Jolters.
The Derby is a combination
of practically all of the more
violent sports. Body checking,
speed, endurance and team-play
make up the new sport. Each
team is composed of five boys
and five girls. The girls race
against the girls and the boys
in their own field. Each game is
divided into eight periods OF
fifteen minutes each, with a
twenty-minute interval between
the fourth and fifth periods.
With the exception of the
single intermiSsion, there is no
let-up in the action on the track.
The race is started by the boy
members and as they finish the
initial period, the girls relieve
them in relay fashion and the
race continues without inter
ruption.
Points are scored by a team
when one of its members laps
the pack and passes one or more
of the opposing team. All types
of legitimate blocks are per
mitted to prevent a score. In
such jam the tapping must be
lcOmpleted In q tWo-mlnute IN
terval.
AS soon as the field gets to-
gether again a new jam is
started.
The Roller Derby will con.
tinue at the Sports Arena until
May Z. Following Philadelphia
the Brooklyn Red Devils will
meet the Westerners at the
Sports Arena.
Tickets are still available fol
all performances, nightly games
at $50 and Sunday matinees al

on Sundays. There will not be
any performance on Thursday
