/ The Supreme Court has been
asked to compel formation of a
special three-judge lower court to
consider the constitutionality of
segregation in the District schools.
An initial request for appoint
ment of the special body to rule
on the Constitutional point was
dismissed in District Court last
April. The suit involved was on
behalf of four Negro children who
had sought admission to the white
Sousa Junior High School. A
month later. the entire suit. was
dismissed.
Writ Of Mandamus Asked.
The matter reached the Su-
preme Court yesterday in a petit
ton for a writ of mandamus to
require that the Constitutional
three-judge body be set up.
At the same time. the dismissed
suit has been appealed to the
United States Court of Appeals,
with briefs scheduled for filing on
August Is. according to Attorney
George E. c. Hayes.
Mr.. Hayes said the petitioners
the same in both the appeal and
the Supreme Court request-are
the four children. a parent Of each
and the Consolidated Parent
Group, Inc, an organization seek
ing non-segregation. The four
children are listed as Valerie Cog
dell, Wallace Morris, Felicia
Brown and Lauretta Parker.
The attorney said the suit rests
squarely on the issue Of the Con-
stitutionality of segregation in
schools.
In a separate case, however, Mr..
Hayes and James M. Nabrit. jr.,
are charging. on behalf OF five
other Negro children, their par
ents and the Consolidated organi-
zation, that school officials have
no authority to enforce segrega-
ton, again raising the constitu-
tional issue.
Case Dismissed by Bastian.
This second case was dismissed
on April 4 by District Court Judge
Walter M. Bastian, but also has

been appealed, Mr.. Hayes said
Briefs in this suit also are to be
filed on August Is. In his dis
missal. Judge Bastian commented
that the suit should be appealed
and that ultimately this will be a
case that will make history"
In the Cogdell suit-that carried
to the Supreme Court yesterday
Judge Bastian also issued the Dis
trict Court dismissal, acting on
May 8. The denial of the three
Judge court request was made by
Judge Matthew F. Mcclure.
Mr.. Hayes said the petitioners
yesterday contended that a single

miss the request.
The Supreme Court is in recess
until October. The petition for the
writ, it was pointed cut. would
not commit the Supreme Court in
any way to rule on merits OF the
segregation controversy.

Local Problems Best

Local problems are best solv~

solved in Richmond or Washing

declared State Highway Commits
sioner James A. Anderson in a
speech at Williamsburg last Fri
day.
Could this be a note of hope
for the people of Dickinson Coun

that local road problems have
certainly not been solved within
the county
The commissioner also stated
that Virginia would have $4,000
miles of hard surfaced roads in
the secondary system by 1856, a
1851 miles increase. He stressed
that maintenance costs a + e

CongratulationS to the BiSe com

ment contest in Dickinson coun-
ty. 1t was not an easy job, for
Yates in all probability gave
some real competition. The fine
thing about it is that even the
losers are winners in these events.
Our county had only two en-
trants in the community improN e
ment contest this year. There
should have been more. Let us
hope that there will be more next
year, Every community that eIt-
tiers and everybody in comm n
ity that enters wins. It is that
simple

When a community goes out 10
make itself a better place, the
people in it are drawn together
for the common good, Working
for one of the most worthy purpo s
es, they gain a higher blessing,
that of fellowship. A neighborly
feeling, a community pride, ard
pride in each other are bonls
that will hold people together, A
neighborhood whose people a. e
thus bound together is a good OF e
to live in
When a group of people unite

return than a dollar spent in any

that stays stable, regardless of

hope that Mrs. Skeen and Mr.

7"ster Comp anies Complain A1oUt Unlicensed Trucks
KODIAK MIs

Ca ges that the S25 t5r- hlre truck licenses in Kodiak east too much and licensed trAas1er companies receive Httte benefit and no protection from non-licensed trucks were made last Monday by Pat LyEch and Milton Smith, local transfer company owners.
 The city council heard the complaints of the two transfer Hsen during the regular meet Sng.
 Smith told the council that privately owned trucks are competing with the licensed transfer vehicles. They are hauling for free, the drivers say, when you ask them to see their license. Such business hurts the licensed truckers, Smith said.
 Lynch said, "The man hold ing a $10 license gets his truck loaded before we do and we pay S25 for a for-hire license and then sit on the dock wait- ing for the $10 trucks to get loaded"
 The council indicated it would ask the police con- nittee to investigate the con- plaints and present a report and recommendation at a future meeting.
 Further discussion of the matter resulted in a tentative decision to permit licensed transfer vehicles to receive priority in loading freight. However, the decision was not final but depends on the report of the police committee.
 The council discussed the purchase of a new fire engine for the city. Ray Shannon,

The Senate last week passed a bill
to set up a tivc-member board with
power to rencgotiate billions of dol

Of these now are being rushed to con
tractors without competitive bids. A
similar contract reorganization board
during World War II is credited with
saving more than $40 million on
about 5000 billion worth of contracts.
Every dollar that can be saved means
that much less taxes.
The present reciprocal trade agree

out of the taxpayers pocket. Senator
