Court Defeats Minister
Who Fought School Bias

WILMINGTON, O., Feb. % (SpeciaD-The
Methodist minister who led the fight to eliminate
segregation in Wilmington elementary schools, Rev.
Ernest Bromley lost his ST., O5O damage suit in court
here yesterday.
A Clinton County jury returned a verdict in
favor of police officer Raymond Winfield, charged
with falsely arresting Rev. Bromley. The minister
sought $4,000 for suffering mental anguish, $4,000
for loss of business as a result of the incident, $4,000
for damage to his reputation as a minister of the Cos
pei, $50 attorney fees and $1,000 for confiscation of
film from his camera.
One of the largest crowds in history to attend
a damage suit here packed the Common Pleas court
room of Judge Charles Kirk to hear testimony in the
false arrest case. Basis for the trial was Rev. Brom-
ley's arrest and conviction for ~allegedly resisting an
officer while being evicted from his home last March
or non-payment of rent. -
Rev. Bromley feels he was treated unfairly.
He told newsmen that at the bottom of the incident
was the bitter feeling among many townspeople
against him because he played a prominent part with
4n interracial group to eliminate racial segregation
IN Wilmington elementary schools. He said that an
agonism against his family caused him to move to
,1aronville, near here.
The reason given by the police officer for ar
resting the minister was that Rev. Bromley refused to
surrender the negative of a picture of Winfield carry
ing out the eviction orders.

We consider it wishful thinking,
although we hope he succeeds, for
him to get two more invitations
since he already has our three. He
wants to present them to two de-
signers.
High on his list are Henry o.
Bryant, 11adam Gordon, or Ant
ellie, tops in his estimation. The
date of the award, as you probably
know, is March % at the Pan
tages Theater. He may take a poll
to see who should go, and maybe
someone else will rate.
At any rate, top designers such
as LeMair of Twentieth Century
Fox, Edith Head Of Paramount
and Terry of Columbia are busily
designing fabulous gowns for their
glamour-queens.

Russians 10 Be Told
Middle East Command
Isof Their 0WnMakinq
By John M. Hiohtower

The United States, Britain,
France and Turkey are reported
to have agreed to tell Russia in
plain language that it is. respon-
sible for the efforts of free ma
tions to form a new military COM
mand In the Middle East.
Russia protested to the four
powers several weeks ago that the
proposed command was an ag-
gressive agency threatening Soviet
security. American officials at
the time said the charge was non
sense.
Since then there have been ex-
changes of view among the
capitals Of the four nations spon-
soring the Middle East Command
and notes have been prepared for
delivery to the Soviet foreign
office. Announcement of the ac-
tion is expected within a day
or so.
Voluntary Nature Stressed.
Diplomatic informants said the
four powers will emphasize that
the command is q voluntary or
ganization, and that once it is
created it will be thoroughly CO.
operative in nature-to such an
extent that the troops of one
member nation could not be moved
into another without specific per-
mission.
The Russians are also being told
that they are In a poor position
TO criticize any joining of powers
for defensive purposes since it is
international communism record
OF conduct in the Middle East.
against Turkey and Greece par
ticularly. that has created the
circumstances in which other ma
tions now find it desirable to unity
their defense efforts.
1t was learned that actual prog
resS in organization of the COM
mand has been very slow for many
weeks and probably will continue
to be so for several months.
Powers Differ On Details.
The United States, Britain.
France and Turkey have not been
able to agree in detail on the par
ticular kind of organization which
should be created or exactly what
areas it should cover.
1t was learned that the Turks.
contrary to original American
planning. have insisted that they
should in some respects come
under Gen. Eisenhower's command
OF North Atlantic Treaty forces in
Western Europe when they become
members OF the Atlantic alliance.
Greece and Turkey were voted
into the organization in Septem-
Der. but will not actually become
members until the Atlantic Coun-
cil's decision has been ratified by
all IL Of the present members Gin
cluding Senate approval In the
United States). Not until after
the Greeks and Turks are in actual
membership are the exact COM
mand relationships expected to be
worked out in the Middle East
Mediterranean area.
These have been complicated
also by reported disagreement be-
tween Ankara and London over
whether Britons or a Turkish gen.
eral should head up the Middle
East structure when formed. An
other jolt to the undertaking has
been Egypt's refusal to have any
part Of it. That strategic country
was invited to come in as sponor-
ing power on a par with the other
four.
Egypt refused because Of its
present efforts to force British
troops out Of the Suez Canal zone
and the asserted belief Of the
Egyptian government that had IL
Joined the Middle East Command
1t would have been committed to
permit British troops to remain
on Egyptian soil.
