Robson Says Negro
To Suffer if Schools
Abolish Segregation
By the Associated Press

Representative Robson, Demo-
crat, of Virginia, said yesterday
Negroes would be hurt more than
helped by doing away with segre-
cation in Virginia public schools.
IF there should be political
democracy sufficiently compelling
to bring about such legislation, ~
he said, sit would not only place
serious handicapS on the educa-
ton of the Negroes but would
seriously affect the relationship
between the races"
The National Association for
the Advancement of Colored
People is waging new fight
against all forms of segregation
In line with this policy of all
out assault, it has filed a new
suit in the Federal District Court
at Richmond, Va, for repeal OF
laws forbidding the mingling OF
whites and Negroes at public
meetings.
The petition is the third recent
suit attacking Virginia'S Segrega-
ton policies. The others were
directed against school and State
parks segregation.
Mr.. Robson said in an inter
view that should segregation bt

More Moves Studied
To Tighten Pressure
AGAINST Czech Reds

Still more moves to intensity
economic pressure against Cons
munist CZechslovakia were be-
lieved in the offing today follow
ing American action virtually
halting United States-Czech trade.
President Truman and the State
and Treasury Departments acted
yesterday to cut off most of
Czechoslovakia's sales in this
country. An embargo against
shipment Of American goods to
CZechoslovakia already was in
effect.
Officials said the United States
still has cards to play against
Czechoslovakia, where Associated
Press Correspondent William N.
Oats was jailed in July for 10
years on trumped-up spy charges.
May Freeze Assets.
! Among moves which still may
be taken, it was understood, is
the freezing OF Czech financial as
sets in this country.
The Oats case was not men
toned in announcement of the
two moves yesterday.
President Truman ordered tariff
concessions on imports from
CZechoslovakia suspended after
November /. This withdrawal of
benefits to the Czechs under the
general agreement on tariffs and
trade was approved last week by
other nations in the agreement, in
conference at Geneva.
The Presidents action would not
ban imports from Czechoslovakia
entirely. 1t would. however. raise
the prices of Czech goods here by
requiring higher tariffs on them
than goods from countries enjoy
ing concessions under reciprocal
trade agreements.
Penalties Planned.
But a State te-Treasury move an
lnounced later would put such a
penalty on between rs and 80 per
cent of Czech exports to the
United States that American i'm
Iporters could not handle them
economically.
The Treasury Department an
.nounced that shipments arriving
from CZecheslovakia without
consular invoices" certified by the
consular section of the United
States Embassy at Prague would
be assessed a penalty equal to their
full value.
The State Department said that
the Communist regime in Prague
had imposed such limitations on
the American consular staff there
that ''it is unlikely that consular
invoices can be certified for an
indefinite period"

stance outside activity had been
involved, but the cases and the
activities we're not Immediately
detailed.
The exception was in the case
of the collector of the third dis
trict in New York. which Mr.. Dun
lap said involved inability to run
his Office" and not outside busi-
ness. That collector, James w.
johnson. was removed last July
by President Truman.
Mr.. Dunlap agreed with MFR.
King that much OF the difficulty
in the bureau has resulted from
a lack of adequate supervision.
Strengthening Supervision.
He said. however, that steps
have been taken to strengthen the
service and that men
in the field are being called into
Washington or other headquarters
to build up that part of the Bu-
reau's work.
Mr.. Dunlap also defended the
Bureau against charges of laxity
and emphasized the need for
greatly increased personnel.
Our management problem to-
day traces directly back to lack of
adequate manpower," the. COM
missioner said. He said the 'bu-
reau is trying to get the Civil
Service Commission to boost the
opening grade of bureau employe
from five to seven since it is hard
to get "the kind Of people we
want at Grade S salary" He
added that the Civil Service Com
mission has the authority to do
this but the bureau so far has
been unable to get it done.
Mr.. Dunlap said he recognizes
and hopes the subcommittee will
recognize that the bureau must
have qualified men, adequate per-
sonnel and travel allowances to
obtain "the assurances of nom
