City Fathers Ask Admiral Duke To
Assign Permanent Shore Patro| In
Effort To End Existing Problems
Protest Against
Stone Purchase
Is Withdrawn

Louis M. ]. Eisner NOV
ed at last nights meeting
of the City Commission, to
institute am intensive train
ing program for all menu
bers of the police depart
ment. And in a scathing
criticism of the local law
enforcement situation, Els
ner also suggested that
local Navy officials assign
a permanent shore patrol
section for duty in Key
West.
In a prepared statement, Els
ner asked that "each policeman
be subject to a period Of training
to start in nediately,y and that
the Navy be requested to assign
permanent shore patrol personnel
and if necessary assign Marines
20 assist them. In my opinion,
Eisner added, violations of our
laws and ordinances by Naval
personnel are due to the laxity
of the commanding officers in
instructing their subordinates on
their behavior while on liberty.
The Navy should do more to
help prevent incidents involving
the police department and not
wait and invoke the civil rights
section Of Our constitution"
When Eisner put this in the
form Of a motion, Commissioner
Delaney quickly seconded the
suggestion.
Eisner continued, saying, when
man IS given 8 gun, a stick and
badge, he should know how to
protect others as we'll as himself
he should know when and how
TO make an arrest and when to
use force and when not TO-"
According to Eisner's plan, all
members of the police depart
ment would be required TO at
tend the classes and a written
examination would be given
upon its completion.
City Manager Dave King was
asked 10 contact the Miami
Police Department. in an effort
to arrange for the loan Of one Of
their trained police instructors
for the program.
II was brought out at the
meeting that the City Manager
and the Mayor have conferred
with Naval Officials with a view
to doing something about obtain
ing closer cooperation between
the Navy and the City. One com.

guests Of Senator George

Sloan McCrea, Smathers' Dade

host to the campaign workers and
their wives from other counties in
the state. They all stayed at the
Blue Waters hotel on the ocean
front.
Guests began reporting Friday

was on hand for dinner Friday
night and the football game that
evening at Miami's Orange Bowl
stadium. Choice seats had been re-
served for the Miami-Alabama
game.
Saturday morning Senator Sma-
theirs was host at a breakfast for

They took trip through the islands

to checkmate on usurpation of
power by the Bishops council for
sitting in judgment on laws and
policies made by themselves. The
matter of the retirement of bish-
ops was laid back into the laps of
the Episcopal committee; this
seems to be the hottest potato of
them all. The report of the Episco-
pal committee has been hanging
fire all the week.
Some charges were preferred
against Bishop Lawrence Heming-
way of Washington, D. c., for the
alleged moving of property from
Maryland to North Carolina with
out authority. There is an addi-
tional charge against Bishor Hem
ingway for levying additional as
sessment on the members of the
church in his diocese.
The candidates for the bishopric.
which are numerous and way up
in three figures are bidding their
time. If the Episcopal committee
recommends the retirement of
three bishops, possibly five will be
elected and consecrated today.

decisions, the brief observes: "The
law considered, the tenderness of
the District Court toward the seq
regatlon policy of the State of
South Carolina is unwarranted
That tenderness alone has obscur-
ed the constitutional infirmity of
the statute"
History of Case Reviewed
The 43-page brief reviews the
history of the case which started
IN November, 1949, when the par
ents and guardians of 81 Negro
school children filed a petition with
the county board of education ask
ing for equalization of educational
facilities. The expert testimony in
the first trial on May %, 1851, be-
fore a three-judge federal court is
cited and the findings of that court
challenged. The appeal from that
decision is reviewed This appeal
was denied by the Supreme Court
and the case was returned to the
lower court for a second hearing.
The district court, the brief con-
tends, was in error in twice predi-
eating its decisions on the ancient
Plessy V. Ferguson case UNFOLDING
the separate but equal" doctrine
while ignoring the more recent
Supreme Court decision in the Nc
Laurin case invalidating segrega-
ton at the University of Okla
homa. Further, it asserts, the court
erred in refusing to grant i'm
mediate and effective relief against
the practice of excluding Negro
children from the admittedly.
superior white" schools of the
county.
Federal-State Issue Raised
The decree requiring the county
school authorities to make progress
reports to the federal court on
equalization raises serious con-
sideration of federal state relation
ships" and points to "the import
ance of correcting the inappropri-
ate remedy decreed in this case"
the brief asserts
at is of very great Importance
to pupils, parents, state officers
and the general public" the brief
says, chat the application of these
recent decisions lin the Sweat and
McLaurin cases. of the Supreme
Court to education below the grad
uate level be made clear"

Later, after questioning Stanley.
it was learned that there are no

but they are members of the
state bar
