City 10 Test Ban
On Public Place
Discrimination
Violation by Hotels
Or Borbershops
To Be Prosecuted

The District Commissioners to-
day announced they will begin
court tests in an effort to ban
racial segregation in all public
places here.
The city heads said they would
seek tests of the application Of
old District anti-discrimination
laws applying to hotels, barber
shops, bathing houses and places
of public use, such as bowling
alleys.
The Supreme Court already
has upheld an old 1873 act pro-
hibiting racial discrimination in
restaurants here.
Order Prosecution.
The commissioners said they
have instructed Corporation
Counsel Vernon E. West to
prosecute the first complaint re-
ceived after January involv-
ing one of the other establish
ments where he thinks a con.
viction would probably result.
Since the old ordinances and
enactments of the Legislative
Assembly have not been enforced
for more than rs years, the pub
lie should be given this notice as
a matter of fairness, the Com
miSsioners explained.
Commissioners Samuel Spencer
said the question has been under
consideration for some months.
He said some 80 organizations
have approached the Commits
sioners on the matter.
We're simply putting people
on notice that if there are vio-
lations, we will prosecute the
first case that comes up," Mr..
Spencer declared.
Was 1872 Act Repealed?
A subsidiary question to the
decision that the 1873 legislative
assembly act prohibiting dis
elimination in restaurants is en-
forceable is whether the act OF
the legislative Assembly of 1879
was repealed by the 1873 act.
The 1872 act prohibits racial
discrimination not only by pro-
prietors. of restaurants, but by
hotels, barber shops and bathing
houses.
The United States Court of
Appeals held last February that
the 1873 act repealed the 1872
act with respect to restaurants"
Cite Earlier Ordinances.
The Commissioners noted that
earlier ordinances promulgated
by the Corporation of Washing
ton in 1869 and 1870 made it
unlawful for persons licensed by
the City of Washington to con-
duct places of public amusement
and for proprietors of hotels and
eating houses to make distinc-
lions or refuse to admit any
orderly person on account of
race. Later these ordinances
were extended by Congress to
the city of Georgetown.
The extent to which the pro-
visions of the ordinances of 1869
and 1870. and the provisions of
the Act of 1872 other than those
applicable to restaurants are
presently enforceable in the Dis
trict of Columbia is a matter
which can be finally settled only
by court decision" the commits
SionerS statement said.
The 80 organizations who have
brought the matter before the
Commissioners include:

Yoshido Resigns Few Hours

Hotoyomo, Another
Pro-Americon, Due

BY the Associated Press

TOKYO, Dec. Prime Min
lister Shigeru Yoshida, the sly
old fox who guided Japan's des-
TIMES through seven troubled
postwar years, stepped down to-
day in the face of overwhelm-
ing opposition from both the
right and left.
He quit only hours before the
Diet almost certainly would have

brought down his government
with a no-confidence vote.
His likely successor is Ichiro
Hatoyama. a conservative pro-
American as is Mr.. Yoshida. I'm
like Mr.. Yoshida, however, he
favors diplomatic relations and
increased trade with Russia and
Red China within a framework
of friendship with the West.
Mr.. Hatoyama led the Con-
servative-Socialist coalition that
introduced the no-confidence
motion Sunday. The coalition
controls about 253 votes in the
powerful lower house. MIR.
Yoshida could muster but 1856.
Until the revolt against him,
Mr.. Yoshida ruled the legislators
with an iron hand, backed by a
working majority in the lower
house. Mr.. Hatoyama may find
the road more difficult. He must
depend to some extent on the
Socialists. who said again today
they would support him at least
temporarily.
If the Socialists withdraw their
support. the japanese political
kettle will probably boil over
again.
The resignation may mean the
end OF the political trail for the
76-year-old Yoshida. who signed
the San Francisco peace treaty
for Japan and maintained close
liaison with the Western nations.
He will remain a member of the
Diet, but beyond that his future
is cloudy.
The stock market shot up Inn
mediately after the announce
ment that Mr.. Yoshida was STEP
ping aside. The action reflected
the relief of business leaders who
had feared that he would carry
out his threat to dissolve the Diet
and call an expensive national
election In a fight to retain power.

Urgent Assembly
Debate Tomorrow
On Allied Measure
BY the Associated Press

| UNITED NATIONS, N. Y, Dec
| 7.-Western diplomats predicted
today that the United Nations
Assembly will vote speedy APP
prevail of a resolution by the
Is Korean allies demanding re-
lease of II American airmen
held in Red China on spy
charges.
The 15-nation Steering Com
mittee voted over bitter Soviet
opposition last night to call for
urgent Assembly debate tomor-
row on the allied proposal.
The resolution, agreed upon
after a series of private talks by
the Is, touches on three main
points:
/. It charges Red China vio-
lated the Korean armistice
agreement by holding the flyers.
i 2. It declares the Assembly
should condemn such violations
8. 1t asks the Donation body
to call on Secretary General Dag
Hammarskjold to use "unremit-
ting efforts" to obtain release of
the men and report back to the
Assembly by December 81.
Only Soviet Opposition.
American sources said they an
ticipate no opposition to the res
olution except from the five
nation Soviet bloc and perhaps a
few Arab-Asian states. Burma
and Syria abstained in the Steer
ing Committee balloting yester-
day on grounds the case should
first be placed in the hands of
the Korean Armistice Commits
sion. American Chief Delegate
Henry Cabot Lodge, jr., retorted
that five fruitless requests had
been made for action by that
group.
Informed sources predicted
India would abstain on the reso-
luton to avoid being aligned
with either side in case. she is
requested to act as go-between
with Peiping.
Calling on the Steering Com
mlttee to seek quick action,
Mr. Lodge declared: I'VE in the
United Nations cannot let these
men down. They are United
Nations men. They were sent to
Korea by the United Nations"
Britain Backs Action.
Britain, who has firmly sup
ported the United States cam
paign to get u. N. action on the
case, moved in the Steering
Committee that the item be
taken directly to the Assembly
by passing the usual committee
channels.
Russia's Jacob Malik, support
ed by Czechoslovakia, strongly
opposed discussion of the case.
He asserted that the airmen were
not war prisoners but self CON
fessed spies and that the Assem-
bly, had no business stepping in.
Both Russia and Czechoslo-
vakia insisted that Communist
China had not engaged officially
in the Korean war and thus was
not bound by any armistice
agreement.
This brought quick reaction
from both Mr.. Lodge and Colom-
bias Francisco Urrutia, who
asked why Red Chinese Premier
Foreign Minister Chou En-lai
had been at the Geneva peace
conference on Korea If only Chi
nese volunteers were involved.
Diplomats predicted this question
might develop into one of the
main legal points Of contention
in the Assembly debate.

Regrets Backing General in 81
Makes Bitter Attack
In First Open Break
With President
By james Y. Newton

Senator Mccarthy bitterly as
sailed President Eisenhower in a
statement today which seemed
to herald a complete break with
the Eisenhower administration.
He accused Gen. Eisenhower
of congratulating those who hold
up the exposure of Communists
and urging patience, tolerance
and niceties to those who are
torturing American uniformed
men"
Interrupting an open hearing
Of his Senate Investigations
Subcommittee on Communist in
filtration of defense plants, Sem
ator Mccarthy repudiated his
support of Gen. Eisenhower dur
ing the 1862 election campaign.
White House Is Silent.
The Wisconsin Republican
apologized for what he called
"unintentional deception" of the
voters when he urged them to
elect the Eisenhower admins
tration in the interests of a
vigorous. forceful fight against
Communists in Government"
The White House declined to
comment on the remarks.
Senator Mccarthy was con-
demned by the Senate last week
for his conduct on recommenda-
tons of a special committee
headed by Senator Watkins, Re-
publican, of Utah.
Afterwards, Senator Watkins,
on a visit to the White House,
was congratulated by Gen. Eisen-
hover for the way he conducted
the investigation and led the
Senate move for censure of the
Wisconsin Republican.
Earlier, Senator Flanders, Re-
publican, of Vermont, who
started the censure proceedings,
indicated he had received Gen.
Eisenhowers approval of his
actions.
Senator Mccarthy in his state
ment, referred to these occur
ences, and also to Gen. Eisen-
hower's news conference state
ments last week that fol-
lowed a call by Senate Repub-
lican leader KnoWland of CAL
ifornia for a naval blockade of
Red China to force the release
of American servicemen held as
political prisoners.
Reads Prepared Statement.
Senator Mccarthy, his right
arm still heavily bandged be-
cause of an injury to his elbow,
read a prepared statement in a
calm, even voice.
II am deeply grateful to Sem
ators Mundt and Potter (mem-
bers of the Investigations Sub

die is, in my opinion, important
beyond words.
I'm view of the fact this may
be my temporary swan song as

to comment briefly upon certain
facts.
