High Court Told
If Can End Race
ban in Schools
u. S. Brief Contests
Districts Stand
On 1866 Law
By james {. Roper

The Justice Department today
assured the Supreme Court that
it has authority to outlaw segre-
cation in public schools, includ-
ing those in the District of CO.
lumbia.
Attorney General Brownell
filed a 188-page brief in the
court answering five specific
questions which the court raised
last June 8.
The court apparently was anx-
ious over the legislative history
and intent of the 14th amend
ment under which the Govern
ment seeks to outlaw school seq
regation in States.
Findings of Brief.
In it's brief today. the Justice
Department concluded:
Il. That the primary and per-
vasive purpose of the 14th
amendment, as is shown by it's
history and as has repeatedly
been declared by this court, was
to secure for Negroes full and
complete equality before the law
and to abolish all legal distinc-
tionS based on race or color.
80. That the legislative history
OF the amendment in Congress
is not conclusive.
"3. That the available ma
terials relating to the ratification
proceedings in the various State
legislatures are too scanty and
incomplete, and the specific ref
erences to school segregation
too few and scattered. to justify
any definite conclusion as to the
existence of a general under
standing in such legislatures as
to the effect which the amend
ment would have on school
segregation.
a. That it is within the jul
dicial power to direct such relief
as will be effective and just in
eliminating existing segregated
school systems.
IS. That if the court holds that
laws providing for separa lie
schools for white and colored are
unconstitutional. it should re-
mand the instant cases to the
lower courts with directions to
carry out the courts decision as
expeditiously as the particular
circumstances permit"

The District case, however, ha,
a different legal status. The
District Commissioners have
sought to justify segregation in
local schools on grounds that
legislation passed by the seth
Congress Immediately after the
Civil War clearly contemplated
separate schools for white and
colored pupils.
The Governments brief today
conceded that the seth Congress
passed laws to finance separate
schools, but did so without di-
rect consideration of whether

There is no evidence that any

Moneuver Seen
In Agreement on
Big Four Talks
BY Crosby S. Noyes

Inc state department today
made public the text of Russia's
agreement to attend a Big Four
meeting, and voiced it's convic-
ton that the note was primarily
designed as a last-minute at
tempt to defeat the French Gov
ernment of Premier Laniel.
If that was the purpose, the
Kremlin failed to achieve its
aim, as the announcement from
Paris of Mr.. Laniel's victory in
dicates.
Long Propaganda Passages.
The Russian note declares
that:
Being guided by the desire to
cooperate in the speedy settle
ment of urgent international
problems, the Soviet government
expresses its readiness to take
part in the meeting of ministers
of foreign affairs of the United
States of America, the U.S.SR.,
Britain and France"
The note contains long passages
of propaganda against Western
policy-aimed particularly at the
creation of a European Defense
Community, including German
troops.
1t also promises that at the
coming meeting Russia will push
for "convocation in the near
future" of meeting which would
include Communist China "for
the purpose of reducing tension
in international relations" Ear
lier the Russians had rejected a
Big Four conference which ex-
cluded China.
Russia's agreement to attend
Big -Four meeting in Berlin is
seen as q. retreat from the posi-
ton taken by Russia in its earli-
er proposal on November 3.
At that time the Kremlin pro-
posed that China be included at
the meeting which would open
with a general discussion of
East-West problems. After
ward the Russians suggested, the
Chinese delegate could retire
while a settlement for Germany
was discussed. Hts proposal was
rejected by the Western powers
Now, say the Russians, they
will talk about Germany and
Austria at a meeting with Brit
ain, France and the United
States. At the same time they
have served notice that they
will push for Big Five meeting
including Communist China
to follow soon after the Berlin
conference.
Seen as Shrewd Maneuver.
The move is being interpreted
here as an obvious attempt BY
the Soviets to recoup from &
major diplomatic blunder. Th'
Russians, it is felt, were sur
prised and shocked by Western
reaction to their note of Novem
ber 3. They had overestimatet
the opposition to EDO in Europe
They apparently did not realiz
that their refusal to attend {
four-power conference woult
greatly strengthen the solidarit,
of the West and the chances o
the defense community.
There is, however, no inclina
ton to regard the present Sovie
agreement as anything NOR
than a shrewd and nicely timet
political maneuver. If it shoul'
result in the defeat of the Frencl
government - and the chance
| for an early ratification of tn
EDO treaty by France-it woul'
amount to a major victory fo
Russia in the cold war.
And afterwards the Kremlil
would be free to adopt a ne'
line toward a Big -Four meetin

Aides Of Secretary
Supplied Blasts at
Benson, Bea|| Says
Reports Being Probed
Of Ghost Writing by
Democrat Holdovers
BY the Associated Press

Senator Beall, Republican, of
Maryland charged today that
some aides of Secretary of Agri-
culture Benson have been "ghost
writing" speeches unfairly at
tacking Mr.. Benson's handling
of farm problems.
Senator Beall told a reporter
quiet inquiry is being made
into what he said is good evi-
dence" that some Democratic
holdover policy makers in the
Agriculture Department have
written such speeches and
slipped them to Democrats for
delivery.
These employees and others,
Senator Beall said, also have
supplied ideas and material to
be worked into the texts of pub
lie addresses criticizing Mr..
Benson.
He named no names, saying:
Il do know it's being done. ]
think Mr.. Benson now knows
it's been going on. There are
dozens of these people-a core
of disloyalty."
Secretary Benson was not
reached Immediately for COM
ment.
Public Would Get Facts.
Many Democrats and some
Republicans in Congress, as well
as some farm leaders, have been
highly critical of Mr.. Benson's
handling of farm problems, prin-
cipally the decline in farm in
come.
"The public is entitled to q
fair presentation of the facts OF
what Benson is trying to do,'
Senator Beall said, rather than
half-true distortions prepared by
skilled speech writer's supposed
to be interpreting and helping
to implement farm programs de-
signed for the benefit of ALL"
The Senator said he became
suspicious when he read the text.

President Is Hopeful
For Fruitful Result Of
Delinquency Inquiry
Expresses Wish Thut
Hearings Will Bring Out
Ways to Reduce Crime
By Miriom Gutenberg

President Eisenhower hopes
the Senate Juvenile Delinquency
subcommittee's investigation will
bring suggestions for action to
reduce substantially the incal-
culable unhappiness" now caused
by juvenile delinquency.
The President expressed the
hope in a letter to Chairman
Hendrickson of the subcommit-
tee, dated November 10 and made
public by the Senator today.
Staff aides said the letter,
which gives a strong boost to the
subcommittee. will be put in the
Subcommittee's record when it
resumes hearings next month.
COmmends Subcommittee.
Gen. Eisenhower pledged
whole hearted assistance from
executive departments concerned
with the problem and COM
mended the subcommittee for it's
announced intention of holding
hearings in individual commu-
mites.
Actually, the subcommittee ex-
poets to hold hearings only in
Washington, Boston and New
York before it's January 81 dead
line. Senator Hendrickson has
said he will go back to the Sen
ate for more money and more
time to get the job done.
Text of Letter.
The text of President Eisen-
howcr's letter follows:
THE subject of juvenile de-
linquency which you and your
colleagues of the Judiciary Com
mittee of the Senate are now
studying, is one of the most
complex social problems facing
the Nation today. Juvenile de-
linquency is a problem filled with
heartbreak. / know that you
share with me the fervent hope
that your deliberations will re-
suit in suggestions for action
which will reduce substantially
the incalculable unhappiness
which juvenile delinquency now
causes our children, their par
entS, pastors, educators. and all
who are concerned with the
problem.
I'm your investigation you may
count on the whole-hearted as
SiStance of those executive de-
partmentS which are concerned
with the problem. For a number
of years. the Children's Bureau
of the Department of Health
Education and Welfare, in par.
ticular. has been collecting infor.
nation about juvenile delinquen'
cy and evaluating the proposals
advanced from time to time re-
garding it's alienation, which
should be of value to you.
II am happy to note, too, tha
the subcommittee proposes Il
hold hearings in various othe
cities, including some smalle
towns, in an effort to ascertain
the effects of juvenile delin
quency in specific localities. AL
though it is a problem of ma
tional Importance. and one il
which the Federal Government
properly takes a keen interest
juvenile delinquency does var!
from community to communit!
in its nature and extent. You
subcommittee in seeking the con.
crete facts about delinquen
children and youth in particula
communities has taken note o
that important fact.
ut is my hope that one resul
of the present hearings will b'
to alert our community leader
and all of our parents to the re-
sponSibility that is theirs. wish
you every success in this impor'
tant investigation. With bes
regards,
Sincerely.

BY the Assoeiuted Press

PARlSs NOV. ZI.-UnOIucldl
tallies today indicated that
Premier Joseph Laniel had re-
ceived a vote of confidence in
the National Assembly. The
unofficial figures gave Mr.. Laniel
q majority of about II votes.
The vote came at the end of a
tension charged day in the Ma
tional AsSembly's debate on
French foreign policy. The vote
reflected reluctance to throw
Mr.. Laniel out of office on the
eve of the Bermuda conference
and just after Russia had Of
fered to meet the Western Big
Three to discuss world tensions.
Early in the day it seemed
that Mr.. Laniel would have diff
ficulty in getting approval from
the deputies of his policy on
European unity. Then at one
point Foreign Minister Georges
Bidault threatened to resign be-
cause he felt he had been slight
ed by the premier.
At the afternoon session, how
ever, the personal animoSities
faded as the deputies sought
to give the outward appearance
of harmony.
No Mention of Army.
The vote came on a reSolu-
ton winding UP foreign policy
debate that has occupied the
Assembly for two weeks. Most
of the debate had centered on
the European army.
The resolution made no men
ton of the army itself, but ap-
proved government statements
which noted that three condi-
tions must be met before the
army treaty can be ratified by
France.
These were settlement of the
Saar question, British agree
ment on close association with
the European army and accept
ance of additional protocols
asked by France.
Wants Clean-Cut Approval.
Mr.. Laniel had told the AS
sembly earlier today he would
quit unless he got a clear-cut
approval of his policies.
Il do not want government
with reduced powers and limited
responsibilities" he asserted.
Adding to the threats to the
life of his already Shaky regime
was a last-minute rift between
Mr.. Laniel and Mr.. Bidault, who
was said to have felt the Premier
was not determined enough ir
pushing for all-out Endorsement
of plans to create the proposed
SiX-nation European Defense
Community.
Bidault Backing Needed.
The government needed thu
votes of Mr.. Bidault's Popular
Republican Movement Party
which favors EDO, and the DE-
GaulliSts, who bitterly oppose
the plan. Mr.. Laniel tried tt
frame a resolution that woulC
be accepted by both parties. Tht
De GaulliStS seemed slightly ap.
peased, but the MRP wantec
assurances there would be NJ
backdown on the European unity
policies it has pushed.
The situation was thrown init
further confusion by Russia
offer to attend a Big Four meet
ing, which came in notes to tn,
Western allies last night.
Some observers thought tn,
Soviet agreement to a foreign
ministers meeting in Berlil
would pull the props out from
under the Laniel government
Others thought it would strength
en- the regime.
Mr.. Laniel himself told tn
assembly the Russian agreemen
could improve the internationa
climate.
Such news, far from surpris
ing or troubling us, may consti
tute the prelude to an improve
ment in the international eli
mate, for which France woul
be the first to rejoice" he de
clared.
