The Supreme Court today agreed
to say whether segregation Of
white and Negro children in ele-
mentary public schools should be
outlawed.
The court granted hearings on
two appeals by Negro parents
from Kansas and South Carolina
who claim segregation is "stig-
matizing badge of inferiority'
which has a bad effect on their
children. They contend segrega-
ton therefore violates the con-
stitutional guarantee of equal pro.
lection of the laws.
The appeals contest the validity
of segregation only in schools in
Topeka, Kans., and Clarendon
County. S. c. However, the out
come of the cases will affect pub
lie school segregation generally.
To Hear Both Appeals.
The high tribunal will heal
arguments on both appeals dur.
ing it's new term, which begin.
October 6, and may hand dowr
a decision late this year or early
in 1858.
Gov. James F. Byrnes of South
Carolina has said that if his State
loses it's fight in the courts tt
maintain segregation. the public
school systems there will be aban.
doned.
Other Southern States-notably
Georgia, Virginia and Alabama
have taken steps which could leae
to abolition of the public schoo
system in favor of privately oper.
ated claSsrooms.
District Case Returned.
The Supreme Court recently
sent back to the District Court
of Appeals a case attacking the
constitutionality of the Districts
segregated school system. TIL,
Supreme Court did not consider
the case as such, but requested
further findings as to jurisdic'
tion.
This case involved efforts o.
colored parents to gain admission
to the white Sousa Junior Higf
School.

|Subversives Board
Chairman Clashes
With Reds Lawyers
Verbal Exchange Follows
Murcuntonio's AIIusion
To Possible Wire-Tups
By GEORGE Beveridoe

Lawyers for the Communist
Party clashed sharply today with
Chairman Peter Campbell Brown
of the Subversive Activities Con-
troll Board as they opened a de-
fense of charges that American
Reds take their orders from Mos
COW.
At one point Chairman Brown
threatened to eject Counsel Vito
Marcantonio If he persisted in re-
ferring to possible wire-tapping in
connection with the case.
The verbal fireworks took place
just before Mr.. Marcantonio
called as his first witness John
Gates, former Daily Worker editor
now serving a f1ve-year prison
term. Gates. 38, is one of the II
top Communist leaders convicted
in 1949 of conspiring to advocate
violent overthrow of the Govern
Iment.
The board hearing is on a JUS
tice Department move to force
the party to register as a foreign
dominated group. Such registra-
tion is required by the McCarran
Internal Security Act of 1850 by
groups determined to be under
control from abroad.
Claims Denial of Rights.
Mr.. Marcantonio. former Amer
can Labor party member of Con-
gress, brought about a heated
colloquy with Mr.. Brown when he
charged that the Federal Bureau
of Prisons denied him the right OF
an unsupervised conference with
Gates to prepare the testimony.
Gates, testimony brought out, was
transferred from Atlanta to the
Federal prison at Danbury, Conn.,,
for the convenience of the party
lawyers.
Mr.. Marcantonio contended the
presence of a bureau guard at one
conference violated his right of an
unsupervised conference.
The lawyer then referred to a
possibility that one telephone con-
versation, not identified, was
tapped. Mr.. Brown broke in to
say there was no evidence of wire
tapping, and ordered the lawyer
not to refer to it again. He also
ordered the reference stricken
from the record.
Interrupts Reply.
When Mr.. Marcantonio began
to make a reply. Mr.. Brown said
the charge had been thrown out
of the record, and warned Mr..
Marcantonio that you will be
out, too," if he referred to it again.
The chairman then brought out
that some of the arrangements
for the Gates conferences were
made with his aid. He said Mr..
Marcantonio was making "a til
rade of charges" and that he ap-
preciated "the reality of this sit
uation."
Justice Department attorneys
said none of the Marcantonio
complaints had been brought to

Regulation x which set up real

ulation cuts down payments in

they are cut 20 per cent.
The relaxed controls plan means

in down payments on some houses.
The most required will be 40 per

regulations.

The Federal Reserve Board or

less, S per cent down payment
will be required. 1t has been 10
per cent.
2. On houses from $1,000 to
$25,000, a sliding scale fixes re-
quirements at sum between 10
and 40 per cent of the sale price.
In the range between $4,000 and
$4,000 homes: this runs from
about IS per cent to about Is per
cent.
8. On houses costing $4,000 or
more. 40 per cent will be needed.
It has been so per cent.
The order applies only to new
housing-private residences built
since October. 1850, when Regu-
lation x went into effect. There
were no controls on houses built
before that date.

time for paying off mortgages on
houses costing less than $4,000.
and 20 years for higher priced
properties.
The only exception gives vet
Grams longer pay-off period in
hardship cases decided by the Vet
Grams Administration. No down
payments will be needed on vet

paid in cash.
Down payments on veterans
houses costing $25 900 or more will
be 35 per cent compared with q

WASHINGTON, D. C. -(CNS)-
Twice as many funds had been set
aside by the Rural Identification
Administration for rural telephone
loans as of June 80, as at the end

$82 million in loans now allocated
will permit 10 commercial companies
and 80 cooperatives to bring new
telephone service to 10000 rural
families and better service to $4,000
who now have it. Loan applications
on hand total $50 million.
REA also revealed that 986 coop

1t was 40 cents a year earlier.
During the year the retail cost of
the farm foods in the market bas-
ket" jumped $33 but the farm value
increased on $13. This means the
charges for assembling, processing

foods raised $40, nearly double that
of the farmers increase. The market
basket figure represents the annual
quantities of farm foods purchased

As An Associate Justice

AS an associate justice, Metcalf
has continued to show the same sin
cere interest in the general welfare
of the people as he did while legis-
lator.
His dissent from the 3-2 majority
opinion against Miss Violet East
man in her suit against the Helena
school board in 1947 eloquently
pointed up the need for teacher ten
ure legislation in Montana. Such job
security for Montana teachers was
enacted into law by the 1949 Leg
islative Assembly.
On the two major gambling de-
cisions to come down from the state
high bench in the past two years,
Judge Metcalf in both instances
held that criminal syndicates and
racketeering have no place in Mon
tana. One decision outlawed the
$22-million per year slot machine
racket, and the other gave similar
treatment to the multi-million dol
lar punchboard traffic.
The most important compensation
case to come before the court during
Metcalf's six-year term was Geary v.
ACM, case arising out of an acct
dent at the ACM smelter in Ana
