Appeals Court Reyerses
Rail Firemen Hiring Case
BY the Associoted Press

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Jan. g.
The United States Fourth Circuit
Court OF Appeals today reversed q
lower court decision which per-
mitted railroads to restrict hiring
Of Negroes as f1remen.
The opinion, delivered by Senior
Judge John j. Parker, voided an
agreement by railroads and rail-
road brotherhoods.
The original suit, filed in Fed
eral District Court in Virginia by
Willie j. Relax and others against
the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad
and various railroad brotherhoods
asked the court to void the agree
ment. The district Judge dismissed
the case, and Mr.. Relax appealed
Judge Parker's decision noteo
that the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen had urged that
Negroes be excluded from employ
ment as f1remen because they were
non-promotable to engineers. The
opinion noted also that mo rail-
road in the United States has
ever employed Negro as engi-
neer."
Because railroads do not per-
NIT Negroes to hold engineer
posts is no reason the bar
gaining agent representing them
should use bargaining power tt
deprive them of desirable posi-
tions as firemen which railroads
permit them to hold" the opinion
held.

Science Group Reported
Opposing Truman Choice
BY the Asseeiafsd Press

Board members of the National
Science Foundation met today to
recommend a director. There
were reports they plan to suggest
a different choice from the one
favored by President Truman.
Mr.. Truman is said to be
planning to appoint DR.. Frank
Graham, former Democratic Sen
ator from North Carolina to head
the organization set up by Con-
gress to promote progress ir
science as a national policy. The
President repeatedly hopes the a.
man board will concur in his
choice though he is not bound by
its recommendation. {
Persons close to the board tolo
a reporter the group intends te
ask Mr.. Truman to submit another
name to the Senate for confirma-

asked not to be named, say the
strongest backing of the board is
for DR.. Detlev Bronx, president of
the Johns Hopkins University, who

Court Denies Petition
To Remove Executor
In Lyon Estate Fight

The Montgomery County Or
phans' Court has dismissed a pc
tition to revoke the appointment
of the Washington Loan & Trust
Co. as executor of the 100000
estate Of Mrs. James Alexander
Lyon, late wife of a prominent
Washington heart specialist.
The ruling. handed down by the
court yesterday in Rockville, rep
resented first-round victory for
the bank In what is expected to be
a prolonged legal battle over the
estate.
Pending in County Circuit Court
is a suit by DR.. Lyon against the
bank for a one third share of the
estate. He seeks to break a trust
benefiting Mrs. Elizabeth Moore
Lyon Kelley, daughter Of the
socially prominent couple.
1t was Mrs. Kelley who fled the
petition two weeks ago to revoke
the banks appointment.
At a hearing last week on the
banks motion to dismiss the petit
tion, Mrs. Kelley's attorney, David
Apse, claimed neither she nor her
father had been notified of the
Orphans Court action naming the
Washington Loan & Trust Co. as
executor.
But Robert Peter, representing
the bank, contended Mrs. Kelley
gave mo valid reason" why the
company should not be appointed
executor. And another bank at
torney, j. E. Burroughs, jr.. said
Mrs. Kelley. in effect, had waived
the notice requirements provided
by law.
When told Of the courts deci-
sion. Mr.. Abse said he would file
an amended petition in continu-
ing his fight to set aside the
banks appointment.
The Lyon home is part Of 119-
acre estate on the Norbeck road
just outside Rockville. Mrs. Lyon
died last September %. Her will.
which named the trust company
as executor, was admitted to pro-
bate in Orphans Court few days
| later.

War Hysteria Gaining,
III. s. Leaders Insane,
Russian Papers Say
By the Associated Press

MOSCOW, Jan. 3.-Soviet news
papers today informed their read
ers that war hysteria in the United
States is growing, and concluded
that American Government lead
ers are insane by scientific deflni-
ton"
Articles in various newspapers
today pictured American leaders as
attempting to quell confusion and
dissatisfaction by bringing the
temper of the American public to
the boiling point.
The Russian Communist Party
newspaper Pravda pushed this
point with the report that Defense
Secretary Marshall had declared
it is necessary still further to in
crease a war psychosis throughout
the United States.
The official government news
paper Izvestia charged that the
December 20 speech of John Fos-
ter Dulles, Republican Party ad-
wiser in the State Department,
had demonstrated that American
leaders had decided to lead the
Nation down the fatal path of
bankrupt total diplomacy"
Hoover, Dulles Compared.
Red Star, the Russian army
newspaper, concluded that Ameri-
can Government leaders are in
sane because "the entire history of
the gentlemen from Washington
confirms the correctness of this
scientific definition.
An Izvestia editorial said the
recent speech by Mr.. Dulles had
proved there is a deep crisis in
United States diplomacy, and that
crisis "has led to deep disagree
ments both between the Demo-
cratic and Republican Parties and
within both parties
The editorial compared the
Dulles speech with that of former
President Herbert Hoover ard con-
cluded that both men continue in
their traditional positions OF
aggression and war;"
Isolationism Charge Ridiculed.
Izvestia ridiculed the charges OF
isolationism brought agains5 MIR
Hoover. who had demanded that
the United States send no further
troops to Western Europe until
nations there build up adequate
defenses for themselves, and sug-
gested the United States concen-
trate on building Western Hemi-
sphere defenses with Britain and
Japan as ocean outposts.
Pravda, in its foreign affairs
editorial, charged that President
Truman had appointed an Ameri-
can ambassador (Stanton Grifis)
to Spain because Franco Spain
is necessary to the American mill
tary as convenient strategic base
for aggression.

A new year and a new Congress
found the Supreme Court today

routes for railroad and barge
freight.
While not yet announcing its
decision on such major issues as
the Federal loyalty program and
the attack by Communist Party
leaders on the Smith Act, the
court issued several important Or
ders touching on civil rights.
Ruling Left Standing.

3. Ruled unanimously that the

conspiracies to fix maximum as
well as minimum prices. A lower
court had held that the Calvert
Distilling Co. and Joseph E. Sea-
