BALTIMORE, May 3.-Dr. H.

ing his recommendation to Gov.
McKeldin.
Mr.. Hammond had written the
Governor, recommending a veto
for a bill granting the university
board of regents enlarged powers
to conduct university affairs.
Mr.. Hammond said the bill was
introduced too late for proper con-
sideration by the legislature. He
also suggested that the whole
question of the regents powers be
made the subject of study by a

Legal Maneuyer Halls
Criminal Trial Activity
In Prince Georges

A legal monkey wrench tossed
by former States Attorney A.
Gwynn Bowie brought criminal
court procedure in Prince Georges
County Circuit Court to a halt
yesterday.
At the suggestion of Judge j.
Dudley Diggs. jr., States Attorney
Carlyle j. Lancaster set aside the
criminal docket indefinitely. He
said trials of criminal cases will
not be resumed until Judge Diggs
has ruled as to whether witnesses
who appeared before the April
grand jury were properly sworn.
Judge Diggs indicated that he
may announce his decision to-
morrow.
The question arose Tuesday
when Mr.. Bowie. who had been
county prosecutor for 10 years
before he was defeated last Mo-
vember by Mr.. Lancaster. told
Judge Diggs that under common
law grand jury witnesses are re-
quired to take their oaths in open
court.
In accordance with a custom
which has prevailed in the
county for more than quarter
of a century, witnesses who testi-
fled in April were sworn in by
Ia deputy clerk in room apart
from the two circuit court rooms.
Mr.. Bowie's motion was offered
in a habeas corpus action in the
case of Richard Strait. Al, of the
47OO block of Nicholson street,
IRiverdale, who is charged with
the February l rape of 72-year-
old Bladensburg woman. His case
is set for trial Tuesday.
If Mr.. Bowie's arguments are
upheld, it was pointed out. true
bills returned by the April grand
jury and possibly previous grand
juries may be invalidated. The
Iimpasse, no matter which way it
lis decided, is almost certain to
result in clarifying legislation,
court observers predicted.
Asked by reporters why he had
not raised the question during his
term as prosecutor, Mr.. Bowie said
that was not my responsibility" "

Attorneys File Action
To Allow Negroes in
White Schools
BY the Associoted Press

PULASKI, Va, May 3.-Negro
attorneys appear to have fired
their first shot in a threatened
campaign to break down racial
barriers in Virginia's public edu-
cation system.
That was the belief of observers
today following the institution of
a suit to have Negro students ad-
mitted to classes in the white high
schools of Pulaski County.
The motion asking that no dis
tinction be made because of race
or color in admission to the
county's public high schools was
filed Tuesday in Federal District
Court in Roanoke. it was dis
closed late last night.
June 18 Hearing Asked.
DR.. P. C. Corbin asked hearing
June 18 on the motion. filed on be-
half of his son, Mahatma N. Cor
bin-Pulaski Negro youth-and
others. Admission of Negro stu
dents is sought under the same
terms and conditions as chill
dren similarly situated of any
other race or group. -
There was no comment from
county school officials on the
latest action in the legal battle
that has been waged since March
Is. 1947. regarding alleged dis
elimination against Negro STU
dents in the area.
1t was recalled, however. that
spokesmen for the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement Of
Colored People in Virginia earlier
this year indicated that discrim-
ination suits this year would be
aimed at ending segregation in the
public schools rather than at Sc
curing equal facilities.
A chool-building program ha.
been started in Pulaski County
which includes an elementary
school for Negroes, but school Off
cials have pointed to rising cost!
and a scarcity of funds with which
to act.
Equal Facilities Ordered.
Federal Judge A. D. Barksdale
ordered last November that Negro
high school students be provided
educational facilities equal to those
furnished for white pupils. Judge
Barksdale's order also directed
county school officials to study ele'
mentary school facilities for botf
races.
| His order last November was il
direct contrast to the ruling h,
issued May g., 1949, in which HI
found there was no discrimination
lin the public school facilities O.
Pulaski County.
This order was upset, however
by the Fourth Circuit Court o
Appeals in November, 1949, whel
the court held there was discrim
ination in travel, curriculum, in
dustrial art shops, science labora
tories. gymnasiums and course
/. Offered in summer school.

ter. Trolling with small spoons
to which a pork-rind strip has
been added is a good bet. Try
placing a small gold spinner in
the line about 3 feet ahead oil
the lure. Smallmouths in our
rivers seem to prefer gold to sill

Bay fishing is still somewhat of
hit-and-miss proposition. Spot
and perch are plentiful. with a
few hardheads and an occasional
small trout also being caught.
The rockfish these days surface
only at daybreak and just before
dark and are very boat-shy.
Cumming with grass shrimp is
the best bet. If you seek the
surfacing schools. try casting into
them instead of trolling. Most
likely the fish will sound at the
approach of your boat, but if one
cuts off the motor and drifts
quietly, frequently they will sur
face again.
