Court Review Sought
In Segregation Cases

The United States Court of APP
peals today was asked to review
and redefine" its rulings in two
earlier school segregation cases
brought against the Board of Edu-
cation here.
Lawyers for group of colored
children, who were denied admis-
sion to the SouSa Junior High
School in the last school term,
made this request in briefs filed
with the appellate court at noon.
They are acting on behalf of a
different group of children than
those who sought unsuccessfully
nearly two years ago to inval-
idate laws, which the court inter-
preted as spelling out a bi-racial
school system here.
The new contest is based on
the action of District Court Judges
Walter M. Bastian and Matthew
F. MCGUIRE, in separate moves,
dismissing the anti-segregation
suits. The plaintiffs also are chal-
longing Judge McGuire's right to
refuse granting them a special
three-judge court to decide what
are held to be constitutional ques-
tons in the case.

ton late yesterday of the new
Washington headquarters of the
American Legion. In a speech
bristling with feeling, the Presi-
dent declared some of the people
claiming to be against commu-
nism "are chipping away at our
basic freedoms just as insidiously
and far more effectively than the
Communists have been able to do. -
The President mentioned no
names in his address, but it was
apparent that his remarks were
directed largely at Senator Nc
Carthy. Republican, of Wisconsin

At any rate, Senator Mccarthy
accepted himself as the principal
target of the attack and hurled
back challenge for a 1852 po-
litical showdown on his oft-re-
peated charges that Communists
and fellow travellers have infil-
trated the Government.
If Truman wants to make the
fight against communism-which
he calls 'McCarthyism'--an issue

choose between Americanism or a
combination of Trumanism and

picked up a suspect seen in the
neighborhood last night. He was
released today after questioning.
Using hammer or some other
heavy device, the slayer crushed
the heads of James Edward Poole,
4, and his brother, Fred Poole, 3.
sons Of Mr.. and Mrs Clarence
Poole.
Fred died in Children's Hospi-
tai at 5:45 am, about two hours
after the attack, and his brother
died 10 minutes later.
Father Checked Locked Doors.
Physicians said both boys were
struck three times on the fore
head and that Fred also was hit
on the jaw, which was fractured.
Mr.. Poole, who is colored,
reached home at II pm. after!
attending a craftsmanship class
at a downtown school. During
the day he is employed by a con-
struction firm.
After studying half an hour
on his mechanical drawing work,
Mr.. Poole saw to it that both
doors were locked. In the rear
bedroom upstairs, the two boysi
were sleeping, a light burning as
usual in the room.
Mr.. Poole retired in the front
room, where his wife Victoria, "a.
and the other two children, Ange-
line, 10 months, and Anthony, 3
weeks, were sleeping.
Awakened by Child's Cry.
Shortly before IN. Mrs. Poole
was awakened by a child's outcry
and the sound of some one walk
ing in the back room. Mr.. Poole
went to his bedroom door, but
found it locked from the outside.
Then he climbed through the
front window and dropped 8 to 10
feet to the ground. Letting him.
self in through a downstair front
window, he ran up to the boys
room.
| The light had been turned out.
Cropping in the bed, he found one
of the boys moaning. He carried
Fred downstairs, laid him on a
sofa. and returned for the second
boy.
Tried to Garry Sons to Hospital.
Frantically, he started carrying
both toward F'reedmen's Hospital,
not far distant. A neighbor see
ing his plight called for an ambu-
lance and the children were taken
to Children's Hospital.
Police found two hammers in
the Poole's back yard. They are
testing them for blood.
Missing from the front room
was the 1412-inch television set
the table on which it rested, and
a long electric wire. Mr.. Poole
said he couldn't afford the set,
but had bought it to keep the
children at home. The set was in
its place when he went to bed.
Mr.. Poole said.
The suspect, who was released.
"a slightly built colored man, was
known to have talked to Mr.. Poole
Sunday about buying some hot
radios. Mr.. Poole said he wasn't
interested.
PrOwler Next Door.
About 1870 am. today, Mrs.
Beatrice Reels said a prowler
broke a window in her home at
1923 New Jersey avenue NV,
adjoining the Poole home. The
prowler fled when Mrs. Reels gave
AN alarm.
1t appeared the slayer entered
the Poole home through a broken
panel in the rear door, large
enough to admit a slightly built
person.
Mr.. Poole met and married his
wife, a Filipino, while serving in
the Army in the Philippines. Their
eldest son was born there. Mr..
Poole was discharged from the
Army in 1949, after six years of
service. They have lived at the
