NEWS AND
COMMENTS
From the Delaware House of
Representatives
BY


REP. CLARENCE 5. COLLINS
The House unanimously passed
a bill on Monday which i: enacted
into law would require Delaware
motor vehicle owners to either de-
post security or take out insur-
ance within 60 days after an acci-
dent where bodily injury, death or
property damage exceeds $4,000,
or license and registrations of eth
er or both owners or operators will
be suspended. The bill has been re-
ferred to the Senate for concur
renee. This DILL is similar to the
laws now in existence in 81 states.
If passed, therefore, the Delaware
Jaw would conform to most other
state laws and would make all
drivers and owners of motor We
hicles more responsible. This is a
good bill in my opinion since there
are many on the road who annually
cause thousands of dollars worth
of damage with no means whatso-
ever to make good these losses.
Another good feature of the bill is
that it is not compulsory until an
accident occurs and therefore does
not penalize the good safe drivers.
Also, bill exempting banks and
trust companies in Delaware from
the $500 fee now charged to fin
ance companies passed and was re-
Serred to the Senate. Reasoning on
this is that banks already have
this authority granted in their or
lginal charters and should not have
10 pay an additional fee to con-
ttnue to loan money.
Rep. Winchester introduced q
civil rights bill which would entitle
sn persons, regardless of race
color or creed, to full and equal ac-
conmodations, facilities, advant-
ages and privileges in public places
such as restaurants, resorts and
theatres. Another bill along the
same lines introduced by Mr.. Win
chester would eliminate the need
for separate schools for white an6
no1ored children in Delaware by
there being no distinction of race
or color. Also on Thursday another
related bill was submitted by Rep

Grating school buses to take out in
surance covering bodily injury or
death and medical care was handed
up by Rep. Jones. 1t had been
pointed out that a great majority
of school bus operators have no in
surance here at the present time.
A hearing on the Brandywine
Springs Park Bill reveals that a
55-acre piece of ground near Will
mington can be purchased for de-
velopment of state park. The
main objective now of those inter-
ested in the park is to secure the
ground while it is available since
it could be developed by private
concerns for other purposes. Ap-
parently no federal, county or
municipal funds are available and
it would be up to the state to foot
the bill. The park would be avail
able to the entire state; however,
Kent and Sussex Counties would
probably not benefit too much be-
cause of the location.
Quite a number of bills were in
troduced during the week and a
resolution originating in the Sen
ate has been received in the House
setting the 50th legislative day as
the deadline for new bills. This
could bring an end to new business
on March 21. The House has not
acted on this resolution to date.

President Truman struck ano-
ther b o W against segregation
when he refused to approve the
bill which provided for more
schools on the federal Army and
Air Force Bases, but which had
an amendment, added by the US
ual combination of Southern
Dixiecrats and reactionary North
ern Republicans, to the effect
that the schools had to be seq
regated if the Federal Army
camps were in states where
school segregation was the rule.
The, Federal Government already
has some schools on the grounds
of these Army and Air Force
camps to provide for the children
of married officers and men, in
cluding those reservists with
wives and children who have
been called back into service
In most cases they are already on
a non-segregated basis, seeord-
ing to the Executive Order of
President Truman to abolish seq
regation in the Armed Forces
The bill, if signed by the PFesi-
dent, would have required the

regate schools tor white and

"What we've done in the past,
we can do again, but not wholly
by science nor by refusing to
face facts"
The service opened with three
organ preludes played by Arthur
Lang, organist of Community

Valentino Sobalvarro, soprano.
Miss Sobalvarro sang an aria
from Joshua" by Handel, and
"a Prayer" by Beethoven.

Several hundred men and
women representing a cross-sec-

signed letters and petitions re-
questing the u. S. Attorney
General to squash the charges
against DR.. Dubois and associ-
ates, and substantial contribu-
ton was made to help with the
