Regional Education
Not for Segregation,
Director Declares
BY the Assoeioted Press

ATLANTA, April 18.-A Mary
land court case proves that con-
tinued segregation is not the pri-
mary purpose of the Southern
regional education program, the
director of the regional compact
says.
DR.. John E. Ivey. jr.. director of
the board of control for the re-
gional program. said yesterday
the Court of Appeals decision
blocked the State of Maryland
from trying to misuse" the re-
gional plan to extend segregation.
He referred to an appellate court
decision reversing a Baltimore
city court ruling. The Court of
Appeals ruled Friday in favor of
Esther McCready, a Negro seek
ing admission to the school of
nursing at the University of Mary
land.
This test case rips off the
segregation label given by some
critics implying that the primary
purpose of the program was to
extend segregation" DR.. Ivey said
in a statement.
Under the regional compact,
both white and Negro students of
the 13 participating States may
seek training in a regional school
if facilities are not available in
their home States.
Maryland had denied the Negro
student admission to the nursing
school. The Baltimore city court
upheld the States contention that
it had provided equal facilities
for Negroes at Meharry Medical
College in Nashville. Tenn,
through the regional program.

| James Bruce Submits
Resignation as Head
I0f u. ). Arms Aid
By John SeoIi
Assoeiofed Press Siuff Writer

| James Bruce. director Of tn,
billion dollar arms aid program
| has submitted his resignation Il
President Truman.
This became known today
along with his reason: The busi.
nessman diplomat wants to return
to private life.
| Presidential Secretary Charlie.
G. Ross later confirmed that Mr.
Bruce has offered his resignation
but said Mr.. Truman has not &C.
cepted it."
The impression he left with re-
porters was that the President
was trying to persuade Mr.. Bruce
to reconsider.
There were reports that Mr.
Truman wanted Mr.. Bruce to take
over as Ambassador to London
when Lewis Douglas quits.
Douglas to Stay Indefinitely.
Today Mr.. Ross said Mr.. Doug
las will stay on the job in London
indefinitely.
If the 57-year-old Bruce Is
chosen as Mr.. Douglas successor
there would be a pair of brother.
representing the United States
simultaneously at top diplomatic
posts in Western Europe. David
Bruce. James brother, is Amer
ican Ambassador to France.
Informed officials told a re-
porter that James Bruce talked
with Mr.. Truman at the White
House yesterday and informed
him of his decision to quit, now
that he has set up an organiza-
ton to ship American military
supplies overseas.
Mr.. Bruce will return to New
York temporarily, officials said
where he serves as director on Il
dozen corporations and will re.
sumo his business activities.
Arms En- Route to Norway.
A native of Baltimore, Mr.
Bruce helped the Democratic
National Committee raise cam.
paign funds during the last presi.
Dental campaign.
The date when his resignation
will become effective probably il
May /, it was said. The news
of his impending resignation CO.
incided with reports that the first
American arms for Norway under
the aid program now are on the
high seas aboard an American
merchant ship.
The initial cargoes for Den
mark. Belgium, the Netherlands
and Luxembourg should be or
the way within a few days.
In addition, more weapons, guns
and tanks for Italy and France
countries which already have re-
ceived their first American arms

McDermott said the Russians
have not showed the slightest
concern over the fate of the lost
American plane. This seems an
astonishing lack of common in
ternational courtesy and an un-
usual disregard of human life,'
he added.
He charged that instead the
Soviet government has taken an
aggressive tone and attempted
to justify its action by impossible
allegations"
The text of Mr.. McDermott' &
statement follows:
"The American Ambassador at
Moscow has presented to the So
Wet Ministry of Foreign affairs
the United States Governments
reply to the recent Soviet protest
against an alleged violation of
Soviet-occupied territory by an
American aircraft.
The American reply co,rects
the distortions of fact which the
Soviet government has injected
into the incident and presents the
matter in its true light as an at
tack against unarmed Americans
Facts of Incident Stated.
AFTER investigation 1t has been
determined that the facts of the
matter are as follows:
AN unnamed American Navy
plane with 10 persons aboard was
shot down by Soviet fighter planes
over the open waters of the Bal
tic Sea. No survivors have been
found despite an intensive search
'The Scandinavian countries
have been very helpful and CO.
operative in the humanitarian
rescue work undertaken in con-
nectlon with the disappearance
Of this plane. The American gov
ernment is deeply grateful for
their assistance which has rem
dered possible the thorough search
undertaken throughout the past
week.
BY contrast there has not
been the slightest evidence of any
concern on the part of the Soviet
Government over the fate of our
plane and its personnel. This
seems an astonishing lack OF
common international courtesy
and an unusual disregard of hu-
man life.
Moreover. the Soviet govern
ment has thus far shown no sign
OF regret for its attack against an
American aircraft. Instead 1t has
taken an aggressive tone and at
tempted to justify its action by
impossible allegations.
Plane too Slow to Attack.
1T has charged that the Amer
lean aircraft fired first when the
American plane had nothing with
which to shoot and was too slow
a craft to attack fighters.
Moreover. 1t has attempted
further to confuse the issue with
false propaganda claims and dia.
tribes against the United State.
in the controlled Soviet press.
This attitude of the Soviet gov.
ernment shows clearly the insin.
cerity Of its oft-proclaimed desir,
for peaceful relations with tht
United States and the non -Sovie
world in general.
THE cause of peace is not fur.

ton is part of an administration
move to bottle it up indefinitely.
Senator Lucas retorted:
Which is more important-a
crime probe or the whole foreign
aid program? Nobody is trying
to sidetrack it. They can probe
anybody or anything they want
to. But we've got emergency
measures that have to be con-
Sidered."
Senator Lucas said that some
time during the 10 days of debate
on the ECA bill, the Senate Policy
Committee will come to a decision
on when it can take up the
Kefauver resolution. t
He said he would have had no
objection to the Senate considers
ing it at once If they could do SO
in couple of hours. But he re-
called that Senator Donnell. Re-
publican. of Missouri, had said he
wanted to discuss the resolution
Senator Lucas thought that meant
at least two days of debate.
Senator Donnell and Senator
Ferguson of MICHIGAN, are the two
Republicans cut out of the pro-
posed investigating group as a
result of a decision to select a
f1ve-man special committee from
the top membership of the Ju-
dietary and Commerce Commit
tees.
That decision drew loud protests
from the Republicans. who also
have contended the Democrats did
not want the investigation because
of what it might bring to light.
Yesterday. when Attorney Cen
eral McGrath told a Senate Com
merce subcommittee he knew of
no Nationwide crime syndicate,
there was some speculation that
this was part of an administra-
ton move to put a damper on
the proposed $500 investigation
of crime Syndicates.
Senator Lucas heatedly denied
that He said he had not talked
to the Attorney General about
crime syndicates or discussed the
proposed investigation with him.
Senator Kefauver was undis-
mayed by the Attorney Generals
statement. He said it was mot
conclusive" because the Justice
Department would have had no
occasion to make investigations in
fields not now covered by Federal
laws. Outside of the lottery laws,
there are no Federal statutes
against gambling, he pointed out.
Senator Kefauver said he had
no personal knowledge of the ex-
istence of crime syndicates, bus
had heard strong allegations
from crime commissions in Chi
cago. California. Miami and Mas.
sachusetts. These commissions
he said. all have alleged that
crime Syndicates are operating
with Nationwide tieups.

to determine what was gambling
information in each case.
Difficulties Are Emphasized
They were hoping" he said,
that through some feat of magic
we would come out with a set of
standards"
TIE added that it would be al
most impossible for telephone and
telegraph companies to know in
advance whether the information
about to be transmitted could be
classed as gambling information.
The ban on gambling informa-
ton. he said, should be narrowed
to something that every one could
understand, information which
was obviously for the benefit of
gamblers and not legitimate news.
That, he said. is why the FEC
proposed to the. drafting panel
that the bill should conflne itself
to prohibiting the transmission
only of betting odds and prices
paid.
Baseball Pitching Could Be Factor.
"A bookie." Mr.. Cottone said,
cannot operate unless he knows
the odds and the prices paid. Hes
no gambler. He's a businessman
who wants to balance his books.
If you took the information on
odds and prices away from hun,
it would be impossible for him to
take bets on the next race be-
cause he wouldn't know how he
had made out on the last race"
With the bill as it stands now.
Mr.. Cottone said, the FEC might
have to pass on such question
as whether or not radio station
would be permitted to broadcast
the identity of a pitcher before
baseball game, since that infor-
nation could be used by bookies
In baseball betting.
I'VE could be at this for years"
he contended. holding hearings
on all kinds of problems"
FEC Wants Penalties.
The FEC also wants to attach
criminal penalties to the bill, max
ing it crime for the sender to
transmit gambling information.
IF you don't make it crime"
said Mr.. Cottone. "the people who
send this information are not
going to be deferred by the pos
sibility that after a long series
of FEC hearings and an appeal
to the courts. they might be forced
to discontinue sending the in
formation
Mr.. Cottone emphasized. how
ever, that the FEC would be op-
posed to attaching criminal
penalties to the present bill be-
cause of it's vagueneSs.
In. another development grow
ing out of the current agitation
for Senate action on gambling
and crime, Senate Majority
Leader Lucas today vigorously
denied that the administration
is trying to permanently sidetrack
the proposed Senate investiga-
tjon of Nation wide crime syndi-
Gates.

Ing to be given all the money, al
the investigators, all the powers hi
needs, Senator Lucas declared.
But nobody in the country is
suffering for lack of a crime probe
They are suffering because some
legislation has not been passed"
The long pending move to gel
the crime investigation under way
suffered another setback last
night when Senator Lucas moved
to make the European recovery
bill the next order of business.
Kefauver Move Defeated.
Senator Kefauver, Democrat. Of

a walk.
Southern Railway was one of
the few shares to show any signs
