Asked how the March 10 order
affected her work, Miss Todd re-
piled, 81 think that order rather
effectively dispensed with the di-
rector of social work"
She made it clear, however,
that the order was simply sympto-
matte of the changes made by the
Judge In Juvenile Court practices,
even those extending outside the
court. She said, these changes
came gradually and she did not
lat first realize what was happen
ing.
Last November, She said, the
judge discovered sentence in
1.-THE laws governing the Board Of
Public Welfare that children could
mot be held in the Receiving Home
more than seven days without a
court order. She explained that
some children are held longer
because their offenses are too seri-
Gus to turn them loose on the
community or their families at
first refuse to take them back.
The Judge, said Miss Todd. told
Iher the court had not been au-
thorizing this holding and must
start doing so right away. So
Miss Todd worked up a simple
form authorizing that children be
held more than seven days.
Form Changed Again.
A month later. Miss Todd said,
Ithe Judge said she wanted to know
why each child was held SO the
form was changed to add the vio-
|lation. Then, she went on, the
probation officers started getting
notes from the judge saying a
particular violation was not suf-
Ificient cause to hold the child.
Miss Todd said she protested
that the judge could not tell from
Ia few words on a form whether a
child should be held. So the
Judge, Miss Todd went on,
promptly ordered that the child's
case record should be attached to
the form. She said the judge
started reading the records and
sending more notes back to the
probation officers although these
cases had not yet come up in
court.
The fourth step, Miss Todd said
came when the judge decided the
court was violating the rules o1
habeas corpus and that bond
would have to be set for every
child held more than seven days
So the form had to be changed
again. The judge also refused te
sign any papers prepared by the
workers if they did not reach hel
desk within the seven days.

Psychological Effect
0Segregation Argued
IN Carolina Case
By the Associated Press

CHARLESTON, S. c.. May 29.-
a court hearing that may ulti-
inately decide the fate of segrega.
ton in Southern public schools
continued here today before Z
panel of three Federal judges.
Parents of Negro children ir
rural Clarendon County brought
suit against the trustees of pub
lie schools in district %. The
plaintiffs, whose case is being di-
rected by the National Association
for the Advancement of Coloreo
People, claim that South Caro-
lina's 56-year-old segregation law
violates the 14th Amendment tc
the Constitution, which guaran-
tees equal protection of the laws
to all United States citizens.
Witnesses called by the NAACP
yesterday testified they believed
Negroes can never have equal edu-
cational opportunities while the
South practices segregation. They
said segregation. discrimination
and racial prejudice have bad
psychological effect on both whites
and Negroes.
May Abandon System.
Witnesses for the defendants
expressed the opinion that the
people of South Carolina will not
accept mixed schools. that Fed
eral Court order ending segrega-
ton would cause the State to
abandon its public school system
The defense admitted in open
ing testimony yesterday that
Negro schools in district % are
inferior to white schools. The
trustees urged the court to give
them reasonable time to formu-
late a plan for ending the in
equalities.
The admission brought a reply
from Thurgood Marshall of New
York, chief counsel for the
NAACP, that the mere conced
ing of these facts is not enough. y
Mr.. Marshall outlined the plain
tiff's position that segregation OF
pupils is in itself a form of dis
elimination.
The three-judge court is COM
posed of Judges John j. Parker
of Charlotte, chief judge of the
Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals
and South Carolina District
Judges j. Waites Waring OF
Charleston and George Bell Tim
norman of Batesburg.
Sees Implied" Stigma.
Harold j. McNally, an assistant
professor of education at Columbia
University, said he believed segre-
CATION carries an implied stigma
for one group and thereby dele
gates it to a position of second
class citizenship"
Another NAACP witness, Ellis
Knox, Negro professor of educa-
tion at Howard University, testi-
fled he had never known segre-
gated schools to provide equal
facilities and that in every case
that he had studied, facilities for
Negroes were inferior.
Kenneth Clark, a Negro special
ist in child psychology from the
College of the City of New York,
told the court segregation affects
the personality development OF
both whites and Negroes, causing
the Negroes to be confused, hostile
and resentful, and the whites to
have feeling of guilt.

TT WAS In winter that the
i three old wind wrecked,
SCARED and knotted oaks had
their deepest appeal. 1t was
then I found them leafless,
their naked twigS reaching
toward the sun, whence comes
their strength.
Their baroness revealed the
character. force and per-
sistency to live on as they
have through many, many
years of hurricanes of sum-
mer and blizzards of winter.
The broken bodies of the old
warriors proved they had
withstood and defied hurting
winds, splitting frosts and ice
and snow, heat and insects
and all the diseases to which
trees are heir; their naked
ness displayed the healed
wounds and broken limbs and
showed how the ravages of
time had taken their toll.
These great aged monarchs
of the past cast broken
shadows over the grass of
the terraced garden of the
chancellor's home on the
campus of American Univer-
sity, a superb location in the
District of Columbia. They
tower over the beautiful City

with an ancient wisdom at
the antics of the modern

trees they held high their

were ready to burst their
leathery coats with the first
warm rays of springs sun

to wear their delicately

on near the chancellor's door.
Like a benediction they seem

 These were vociferous in their denials of irregularity in the wash" sale transaction. They were loud in their criticism of the press and of the men who uncovered the story.
 They accused their critics of sabotagng the pro- gress of aviation in Alaska; of hamstringing the administrations construction program; of attempting to embarrass the administration by false charges. ,,, Tony Schwamm told representative of this newspaper that the adverse publicity on the Palmer project was not founded in fact and that this md other newspapers had retarded Alaskan aviation by at-least ten years

30-DAY EXTENSION MAKES NO CHANCES
 IN PRICE CONTROL

There is no change in policy or application of existing price control regulations in Alaska, Office Of Price Stabilization Director Fred G. Hanford said today.
 Hanford said there had been some question as to the status of the OPS under the 30-day extension granted by Congress last week.
 Under the resolution extending controls" Hanford said. Congress stipulated there could be no roll backs by virtue Of existing regula- tions. The regulations referred to are manufacturers regulations.
 Previous to the action last week by Congress, many manufacturers would have been required within the next few months to roll back many of their prices to a level re-estab- fishing pre-Korean cost-price re- lationship. Also, some manufactur- CTS would have been allowed to raise their prices in the event they had been caught in a squeeze.
 For the next 31 days, however, neither roll backs or roll forwards will be put into effect. The OPS has ordered a freeze of manufacturers prices as of June 30."
 Hanford pointed out that all re- tail and wholesale regulations, in cluding Alaskas Regulation g, are not affected by last weeks action.

attacked its critics. We quote fE9q. the gVaey Fron- tersman" for July IA: e. Dealing with the airport question first. the governor lAshed out at what he termed Alaskas axis press and it's attempt to make political football of the Palmer arfield. The so- called Palmer airport deal highly conservative and intelligent piece of work he declared Not only was it transaction completely correct and honorable but one that deserves to be praised rather than criticized"
 questioned earlier as to whether recent newspaper criticism might halt airport construction here, he retorted:
 "Over my dead body. ."
 In August 1950 after a great deal of adverse publicity had been given the project Senator Hugh Butler (R Neb) introduced resolution calling for full investigation of the circumstances surrounding acquisition of the Palmer airport by the Territory of Alaska.
 In due course the investigation held. On May 24 Senator Clyde Hoey, chairman of the Senate investigations subcommittee, submitted the committees report on the matter. The report is lengthy but worthy of attentive reading. Suffice to say that the findings indicated conclusive evidence of deceit and subterfuge an attempt to obtain fed eral funds not authorized by law
 From the introduction of the committee report, we quote the following:
 " This is unique in that it is the
 first time the subcommittee has been presented with a situation where a subdivision of the Federal
 Government, namely the Territory of Alaska, has attempted to funds from the Federal Government in manner which would do violence to the spirit and the letter of the law"
 Those are strong words to apply to a correct and honorable transaction. They are hardly the words of praise the deal said to have deserved
 But to date, there has been no rebuttal to these findings. Where, now, those champions who sought defend their assault the taxpayers? What those say to the findings of the subcommittee?
 They are strangely silent. They duck the question - and they will continue to duck it because they unable to offer any justification for their action They will make statements; they know they have nothing to say
 Their bluff has been called and their buster stied And they will say nothing about the shame ful Palmer deal
 They are strangely silent these glib ones

 Iranian Politics
 While Prime Minister Moham- med Mossadegh is taking over the vital Iranian oil fields, his No. assistant, Dr. Husain. Fatimi, is secretly on trial for misappropri- ating funds.
 This is the fourth time Fatimi has been caught by the police, and though condemned by various courts, he continues to be the man who's masterminding the whole middle east oil crisis.
 Doctor Fatimi has so much in- fluence that he's even been able to suppress news of his own trial. Organized thugs raided "Sidayi Viton" on June g which mentioned that Fatimi was on trial, and des- troyed every issue. Yet he's the man who will eventually decide whether the United States has gas rationing- possibly. whether the American people go into World War III. The whole world is walking on the razor edge that divides peace from war-and man in Iran may make the final decision.
 Heartsick Senator
 One of the great speeches of the imitation debate was delivered in the Senate at about 3 am.. It was by a man whose banking fEm has made him multimillionaire but who fought vigorously against the big business lobbies-Herbert Leh- man of New York.
 Though Lehman is 73 years old and served as Governor of New York more terms than any man in history, he is new to the Senate. And he seemed hurt and disappoin- ted at the mad scramble of his colleagues to vote for the special interests.
 Finally he rose, and speaking sadly, softly, said:
 What I am about to say is not going to please my colleagues in the Senate. Yet I must say it. Here we are engaged in a life-and-death struggle, a struggle for survival against the most ruthless enemy in history, fighting on two fronts. on the military and on the economic We ought to be engaged exclu- sively in considering legislation to benefit all the people of the country legislation to keep our country on a sound economic basis. Yet, here I see and hear Senator after Sen ator rise, not to concern himself with the issues before us, but to 7, play politics. to blast the admin istration. I tell you, it has made my heart sick to hear all this. It makes me feel that we are betraying the people who send us down here.
 We are about to pass bill which is a bad bill, bill which is not in the interest of the people of our country" Lehman continued. T know there is nothing I can say which is going to reverse the trend and bring about the ends and many of my associates and the people seek. Deep down in our hearts, we all know that these ends are necessary. Yet some are acting without regard to what is right. But I hope that we are not going to be supine or satisfied with what we have done.
 T assume that what I have said will not set well with some of my colleagues" Lehman concluded. Yet I am glad I said it. I think
The Daily Alaska empire., 1951-07-11

it is something which had to be said on the floor of the Senate"
 Some Senators turned their faces in shame. The faces of others were frozen in brittle, sheepish grins. A few openly smirked. But no one said a word You could see Leh- mans words had cut deeply.
