Arkansas wants the Senate to in
vestigate the $565. 900 loan made
by the Reconstruction Finance
Corp. to the American Lithofolo

charged that William M. Boyle, jr.

put pressure on the RFC to grant
the loan to the printing firm
which got the money after three
previous reflections.
Mr.. Boyle has acknowledged
that he represented American
Lithofold in legal matters, but
had no connection with the loan

IOPS Protests Plan 10 Raise 40 Persons Under Arrest
Rail Rates for Commuters In Saigon Assassnations
By the Associoted Press


The Office of Price Sterilization
yesterday protested proposed in
creases in commuter passenger
rates requested by II railroads.
OPS charged the fare boosts
would be unreasonable and dis
criminatory." The railroads, it
said, are asking the Interstate
Commerce Commission generally
for the same increase on passen-
|ger tickets of the same class be-
tween stations, regardless of
distance.
OPS pointed out also that the
railroads have pending before the
IICC a request for a Is per cent
increase in freight rates which
includes an alleged passenger def
cit as a cost item to be covered by
that increase.
1t argued also that the boosts
would be inflationary and would
increase the difficulty Of defense
workers in getting to and from
their plants.

|VorYs May Propose
81 Billion Cut in ECA,
Amendments Studied
By J. A. O'Leory

Representative Vorys of Ohio
high-ranking Republican on the
Foreign Affairs Committee. said
today he is tentatively consider
ing urging a cut of about 81 bill
lion in the administrations $8.5
billion foreign aid bill.
AS the House committee began
reading the bill for amendments
in closed session today, Chairman
Richards was on record for $70o
million cut. The committee had
made no major decisions when II
recessed at noon.
One member predicted 1t would
be late next week before a bill is
reported to the HOUSE.
Richards Offers Estimate,
MI. VoryS said he believed 81
billion Or a little more could be
taken of without harlning the
program for the current year. His
decision is still subject to further
study, however, he said.
Economy advocates in both
houses have had their eyes on this
program for weeks, and were
spurred on by the Richards pro-
posal in their belief that this
part of the budget could be re-
duced.
Mr.. Richards announced that
he believes the following reduc-
tionS can be made:
From the $50 billion estimate
for military assistance to Europe,
$265 million: from the SIS billion
of economic aid to Europe. $285
million. and from the $262.5 mil
lion for economic aid to the Far
East. $3.50 million.
Sessions Are Closed.
Meanwhile, two Senate commit
tees continued to take testimony
on the program in closed ses.
sion. Those called in today In
cluded Gen. A. Franklin Kibler
one Of the American advisers on
the mutual defense program; Am
baSsador Charles M. Spofford
United States representative to
the North Atlantic Treaty or
ganization: Ambassador Milton
Katz. ECA representative In
Europe, and William S. Bait, au-
thority on defense production fol
the North Atlantic area.
On the Senate side, Republican.
are considering two moves In con.
nection with the bill: /. To spreac
the $8.5 billion figure over two
years. which would be equivalent
to cutting it in half for this year
2. Establishment Of a new indie.

staff dispersed, however, so Sena-
tor Fulbright suggested the in
quiry be made by the Senate'S
regular Investigations subcom-
mittee headed by Senator Hoey
Democrat, of North Carolina.
The names of E. Merl Young, a
major figure in the Fulbright COM
mittee's investigation, and James
P. Finnegan, former st. Louis col
lector Of internal revenue, also
aave been mentioned in connection
with the loan to American Litho-
fold.
Senator Williams, Republican
Iof Delaware told the Senate last
week that RFC records showed Mr.
Young had telephoned the agency's
st. Louis Office in 1948 and said
"the Democratic National Com
mittee was very much interested
i'm the loan"
Investigators "Alerted."
The Senator also said that Mr.
Finnegan made very energetic ef-
forts" in behalf of the loan. A
Federal grand jury in st. Louis
now is looking into Mr.. Finnegan's
conduct of his Office. He resigned
after the inquiry started.
The Hoey subcommittee, Senator
Fulbright said yesterday, has gen.
eral authority to conduct investi-
cations and in his opinion is the
proper group to look into the loan
Chairman Mcclellan said that
investigators for the Senate Ex-
Ipenditures Committee, Of which
Senator Hoey's group is a unit

Louis loan case, but that any com.
mittee action probably would be
delayed until the Federal granc

NEGRO CHILDREN Are
attending bALSz
SCHOOL and DOING fine

Grade school doors were opened
last week to two Negro children
in the Maricopa County school
system.
Earl and Lillian Oats, son and
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Oats of 21 South Leola Street, were
admitted to classes last Friday at
Balsz School, 44O6 E. Van Buren
after the principal of Booker T..
washington School had notified
Mrs. Oats her children couldn't,
under the school law attend
Booker T. Washington School. She
said she then applied at the East
Van Buren Street school in the
district in which she lives. The
principal seemed somewhat per-
picked, Mrs. Oats said, when she
presented the children for en-
rollment. He told her he would
have to call the district attorney
about the matter. Mrs. Oats then
got in touch with DR.. R. B. Phil
lips, President of the local branch
of National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People and
reported the case to him.
The Balsz principal tried to per-
suade Mrs. Oats to send her chill
dren to the 10th Street School,
saying their district would pay
transportation, etc., and pointed out
the possible unhappiness of the
children if they were admitted to
his school. Mrs. Oats stated that
she replied she wasn't worried
about her children not being able
to get along with the children
there because they played together
every day and got along fine.

NAACP Files Suit Against .sehooI Board
THE SUIT WAS FILLED SAINST THE
PHOENIX UNION HIGH ~ sOOL AND JUNIOR
COLLEGE DISTRICT AMI @.SSyE BOARD OF
EDUCATION OF THE PI1OkootfX HIGH SCHOOL
AND JUNIOR COLLEGE DICTRICT

The local branch of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People filed suit yes
terday in United States District
Court against the Phoenix Union
High School and Phoenix College
District, and the Board of Educa-
ton.
The suit grew Of the refusal of
the school boards to admit Negro
children to classes at Phoenix
Union High School and Phoenix
West High School.
The suit was filed yesterday at
H:30 by Attorneys Hayzel B. Dan
iels and Herbert Finn in Federal
Judge Dave Ling's Court, and is
scheduled to be heard October 20.
To file suit against the school
board was decided by the associa-
ton two weeks ago after Negro
children were repeatedly denied the
privilege of enrolling in the above
schools because of their race.
DR.. Phillips, president of the
N.A.A.CP. here, said, 1--WE will file
suit, because the school boards
stand, leaves us no alternative"
The lawyers, in support of this
case, will plead points and author
tiles as in the McLaurin case in
Oklahoma, which says: Segrega-
ton of school, children because of
race is unconstitutional
The racial segregation abridges
liberty without due process Of law,
denies the equal protection of the
laws, and abridges privileges and
rights of United States citizenship.
The Indictment further contends
that the hioh schools of Phoenix,
Maricopa County, Arizona, set
arar+ for white students, particu-
l,rlv Phoenix Union High School,
and West Phoenix High School are
superior to the. schools set apart
for Negro students in that stu
dents of all races, colors and ma
ticnal descent, except Negro, are
admitted thereto; and in that seq
regation of Negro pupils by race
has a detrimental effect upon such
Negro pupils, imparting to them a
stigma of inferiority, retarding
their educational and mental de-
velopment, and depriving them of
some of the benefits they would
receive in integrated school sys-
tenn free from racial discrimina-
ton and segregation.
The attorneys associated in the
case are: VIM. P. Maoney, Jr.;
Stewart Udall; H. B. Daniels;
Loren Miller, and A. L. Wirin, both
of Los Angeles.
There is some talk that Thur
good Marshall, chief counsel for
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People,
will be here to sit in on the trial.
