New Suit Filed 10 TEST
Segregation Policy
In District Schools
Parents of Negro Pupils
Ask Their Admission
To Souso Junior High

A new court attack challenging
constitutionality of segregation in
District schools was begun in
District Court today by eight
Negro families seeking admission
of their children to Sousa Junior
High School.
The long g-awaited suits, filed by
battery of lawyers, asked ap-
pointment of a three-judge court
to enjoin the Board of Education,
School Supt. Hobart Corning and
his top assistants and the Sousa
School principal from continuing
segregation of Negro and white
pupils.
Another Injunction is sought to
require school officials to admit
the plaintiff children and other
Negroes similarly situated to the
Sousa School. Both preliminary
and permanent injunctions are
requested.
Upheld by Appeals Court.
The suits also asked the court
to declare existing acts of Con-
gress calling for school segregation
"repugnant to the Constitution.
The individual Negro families

by Consolidated Parent Group,
Inc. an organization seeking non
segregation in schools.
The United States Court of Ap-
peals earlier this year, in a 2-to-1
decision, upheld group of con-
gressional acts which it interpret
ed as calling for separate but
equal school facilities for Negro
children. This test involved pupils
seeking access to Browne Junior
High School. Further opposition
of the Browne school action was
dropped by counsel in the belief
that stronger case might be pre-
pared.

Last month parents of pupils at

ing crowded conditions and the
establishment of a part-time class
at the school. The parents asked
the Board of Education to allow
their children to be admitted to
the white Noyes Elementary
School.
The board refused the request
and the protest was settled with
some adjustments in schedules
and classes. Many of the SloWe
parents are members of the Con-

Power Balance
AtCapito|in in 81
President Confronted
By Congress Under
Coalition Control
By J. A. O'Leory

President Truman faced the
necessity today of getting along
for two years with a Congress in
which conservative coalition will
have the upper hand.
With only a few struggling con-
tests to be heard from, the score
today stands:
House-Democrats, 234; Repub-
licans. 1919; independent, l, with
one race undecided. 1t takes 21e
to control.
Senate-Democrats, 40, and Re-
publicans, At, but with demands
for recount in the close victory
of Democratic Senator Benton by
fewer than a thousand votes in
Connecticut.
Governorships - T h e Republi-
cans have captured six from Dem
ocrats, with a possibility of one
more in unsettled Arizona.
South More Influential.
In both branches of Congress
these results make the Southern
Democrats even more influential
than they have been in this Con-
gress. 1t means they will hold
the balance of power.
The reduced Democratic mar
gins in Congress will hurt the
administrations domestic Fair
Deal more than it will foreign
policy. Even in the field of world
affairs, however, Republicans will
be encouraged to step up their
fight for changes in Asiatic pol
icy, particularly toward the en-
battled Chinese Nationalists on
Formosa.
The only House seat still in
doubt is the 9th Missouri district
where o. K. Armstrong, Repuhli-
can. holds an 815 lead over Rep
reSentative Christopher, Demo-
crat. This race will be decided
by the absentee ballots, to be
counted Friday. If the Republi-
cans should win they would wind
up with an even 200 House seats.
Major Issue Action Doubtful.
Although the old Congress must
reconvene November q, or sooner
if President Truman should call
them back. observers here believe
the election upsets reduce the
already slim prospects for action
on major issues before the new
Congress convenes January 3.
Looking ahead to the 1852
presidential battle, Republicans
found added encouragement in
the new Governors they elected, on
the theory that control of State
governments helps build party
organization for the next election
year.
With the gains already r,ade,
Is States will have Republican
Governors next year. If the Re-
publican holds his lead in Arizona
it will be 26.
The big topic for speculation
at the Capitol today was who will
be chosen by the Democrats to
succeed Senate Majority Leader
Lucas. House leadership is not at
stake. since Speaker Rayburn,
Majority Leader Mccormack of
Massachusetts, and Minority Lead
er Martin of Massachusetts were
reelected.
Speculation on Leadership.
Among the names that bobbed
up for the Lucas post were SEN
ators O'Mahoney of Wyoming,
Anderson of New Mexico. McFar-
land Of Arizona and Russell of
Georgia.

u. 5. Presses CHARGE
In u. N. That Chinese
Are Fighting in Korea
Resolution Due Today;
Some Council Members
Seek to Move Slowly
BY the Associated Press

| LAKE SUCCESS, Nov. 9.-The
United States intended today to
press without delay its charges of
Chinese Communist intervention
IN Korea despite the apparent in
clination of some other members
of the Security Council to pro-
ceed slowly with the case.
An American source said the
United States delegation is max
ing final check with Washing
ton on the wording of its resolu-
ton and might bring the docu-
ment into the U. N. today.
The resolution is understood to
demand the withdrawal of alien
forces - Chinese Communists -
fighting in support of the North
Korea Reds and to call on all
Governments to refrain from as
sisting the NaR Koreans.
The secuT lcouncil's next
scheduled m is for tomor-
row afternod d the Palestine
CASE. 1iic " II OGdleS Qelcga-
ton could calwlor a meeting be-
fore that on the Korean issue,
possibly tomorrow morning.
u. S. Won't Wait on Reds.
In any event, the American
source said, the United States does
not intend to let the matter lie
dormant for any length of time
while the Council waits the arrival
of Chinese Communist representa-
tives tc answer the charges leveled
against the Peiping regime by Gen.
Macarthur. The United States,
the informant explained, is ready
to proceed whether or not the Chi
nese Reds have arrived at Lake
Success.
tThe State Department said
today that it had instructed the
American Embassy at Prague,
j Czechoslovakia, to issue tran
sit visas to enable the Chinese
Communist delegation to go to
, the New York area, where they
must remain during their stay
in the United States.)
Warren r. Austin. chief Ameri-
can delegate, told the Council yes
terday that the Chinese Com
munists had recklessly thrown
: 10000 regular troops against the
United Nations forces commanded
: by Gen. Macarthur. This action,
Mr.. Austin said, raised the danger
that the present conflict may not
be limited to the Korean area"
Subsequently the Council, by a
vote Of 8 to 2, approved British
: resolution inviting the Chinese
Communists to send representa-
, tives here to answer the charges.
Affirmative votes were cast by the
United States, Britain. Russia,
France, Ecuador, India, Yugoslavia
and Norway. Nationalist China

Gen. MacArthur's spokesman in
Tokyo said today that some
$4,000 Chinese Red troops are
across the Manchurian border to

Nationalist intelligence officers
placed $4,000 Chinese Reds in
