The United States Constitution VS..

The word segregation Is elastic that 1T provides

But the eyes of the world focused the SUI
preme Court of the United States today while involun

The abolition of segregation does not mean that the
races must be migrated And there is guarantee
that they would be to great degree. But chill
dren much less adults resent being told that they
do this they shall not do that We believe it to be
weakness of democracy to allow public discussion

life necessitates court action to obtain full rights and
privileges any citizens 1t would be far better
were there way to handle this affair without
much fanfare.
Should the Supreme Court decree involuntary segre
CATION unconstitutional which it almost certain do
though it finds it necessary to provide gradual basis
for it's adjustment the greatest thing have to fear
is the msjudgnent of public sentiment by public
officials

Two measures designed to &C

The proposed bill would not le-

Charles S. Jackson, State In

knew of cases in which insurance
agents took advantage of pros
pective buyers by not giving
them sufficient information in
advance. He said the public II

such operators. Other propo-

Democrats Reported
Ready 10 Revise Rules
BY the Associased Press

RICHMOND. Va. July 1.-The
Richmond News Leader said yes
terday a committee charged with
revising rules of the Democratic
National Committee will meet in
Chicago in September.
The newspaper quoted Demo-
cratic National Chairman Ste
phen A. Mitchell as saying he
expected the Rules Committee to
meet probably at the same time
the National Committee holds a
two-day Chicago session.
'"The Rules Committee would
not have time to report" Mr..
Mitchell said, but it could make
a start"
, Mr.. Mitchell said the "tend-
ency of party in power is to
have the President run the
party. Now that we are out of
power we would like to take
stock and have all the States
participate"
He added that he had ap-
pointed Gov. Battle and two
other Governors, Francis Cherry
Of Arkansas and Dennis j. Rob-
erts of Rhode Island, because he
felt Governors are closer to the
people. He said there has been
too much of a disposition to
limit such party business to ma

Andrew Kramer, IS,
Smithsonian 5 Oldest
Emp!oye, Retires

I The Smithsonian Institutions
oldest employe retired yesterday
after nearly 81 years of service.
He is Andrew Kramer. IS, an
instrument maker. His skilled
eyes and HANDS have produced
some of the most precise instru-
ments known to science.
A native of Washington, Mr..
Kramer came to the institution
in 1892. He worked with Samuel
p. Langley, pioneer aviation ex-
pert, on, early airplane models.
Ever since, he has been as
sociated with the Institutions
Astrophysical Observatory, start
ed by Mr.. Langley.
Measures Heat of Sun.
Much of his work has been
assembling pyrheliometers, in
struments to measure the suns
heat and energy. and with
pyranometers, used to measure
radiation in the sky. One of
these instruments, constructed
by Mr.. Kramer, is sensitive
enough to measure accurately
the heat of a candle 90 miles
away.
Mr.. Kramer was an enthusiast
of the old game of rogue"
sort Of combination of Billiards
and croquet. When the game
was popular. Mr.. Kramer de-
signed in his spare time
rogue mallets which were used
throughout the United States.
His associates recall he de-
voted to the mallets the same
skill and precision he showed
astronomical instruments.
Versed in Theory, Too
Throughout his career, his as
sociates say, Mr.. Kramer was
far more than a follower of
blue prints. He understood the
theory and purposes of all the
instruments he made. He often
suggested steps to increase the
precision of the measurements.
He assisted the Astrophysical
