3 Witnesses Urge
Change in Congress
Probers' Methods
sv.hs Assoe,o..d Pres.

A spokesman for the American
Jewish Congress says public con-
fidence In legislative investiga-
tions "will be destroyed unless
Congress enforces procedures
that protect the rights Of indi-
vidualS."
viii Maslow, counsel for the
group. submitted to q House
committee yesterday q proposed
bill to regulate the procedures
of congressional investigating
committees.
Other witnesses before the
House Subcommittee on Legis-
lative Procedure included Charles
c. Parlin. representing the Ma !
tional Council Of the Churches
Of Christ in the U. S. A., and Col.
Harold Riegelman. representing
both the American Jewish Com.
mittee and the Anti Defamation
League Of B'nai Birth.
Mr.. MaSlow said Congress
should not only adopt procedures
to protect the rights Of individuals
but also should ENSURE majority
rule In committee and prevent
such committees from usurping
the powers Of the FBI, the grand
jury and the criminal courts"
Key Points Of Proposal.
Among the key points of the
proposed bill submitted by tho
Jewish Congress are these:
mo person or organization
should be bublicly charged with
misconduct or otherwise held
UP to public scorn until he has
hand an opportunity in execu-
tive session to refute evidence
against him.
ANY person who is the subject
Of adverse comment in any pub
lie hearing or any publication
Of an investigating committee
should be given the opportunity
to present his side of the case
publicly, as soon as possible
after the making Of the charge
and in circumstances as public
as those in which the charge
was made"
Mr.. Parlin complained about |
the practice Of releasing "infor-
nation from the files" He said
this is done by only one commit
tee. the House Un-American Ac-
tivities Committee.
Mr.. Parlin said 1.-THE files have
listed derogatory materials but |!
made no attempt to include |
data, easily available, which |
would indicate devotion to |
America and American institu- |
tions."
Offers 7-POint Plan.
Col. Riegelman, on behalf of |
the two Jewish organizations
with which he is connected, sug-
geSted a Seven-point set Of pro-
cedural principles for inclusion |
in uniform rules Of fair conduct |
for legislative committees.
There is an imperative, al
most desperate need for regula-
ton" Of congressional inyesti- |
cations, he said.
1T is now VIGOROUSLY known
that among the unfair and un-
Just consequence" Of some Of the
committees conduct. innocent
persons have been aRgeds with
Subversive activity 81 witnesses
who have been heard at length,
Mr.. Riegelman said.
But the accused" he added,
"either have not been afforded |
an opportunity to be heard in
defense or. If given that oppor-
tunity. are offered it so belatedly |
that the lie has Travelled round |
the world while truth Is pulling |
at its boot-Straps Meanwhile. !
stigma stains the reputation Of |
the accused, and the public |
mood, dashed by the times IN |
which we live, impoverishes his |
remedies"

Were Roosevelt Choices
BY the Assoeiatsd Press

Five of the nine Supreme Court
justices who yesterday outlawed
race segregation in public schools
were appointees of President
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Three we're named to the court
by President Truman and one
by President Eisenhower.
Here's the lineup:
Chief Justice Warren, a Cali

great complexity.
when the specific applica-
tions of the ruling are formu-
lated and clarified, as the
Supreme Court has indicated will
be necessary, the Department
will be in a better position to say
in what respects they apply to
the Office of Education and the
Department"
DIR. Samuel NJ. BrOwnell,
United States Commissioner Of
Education: "The decision of the
Supreme Court has resolved any
uncertainty on the legality of
segregation. The States affected
are now afforded the opportunity
to plan ahead on the many prob
lens which confront them as a
result of this decision.
1.-THE Office of Education will
cooperate fully in developing
educational plans for the Ma
tons children"
Walter p. Reuther, president
of the CIO: "The unanimous
decision is a heartwarming
reaffirmation of the American
democratic principles that are
inherent in the 14th Amend
ment .. The unanimous ma
ture of the decision clearly in
dicates that honest Americans
recognize that violations or
deprivations of civil rights have
no place in our Nation the
decision will be a body blow to
the efforts of the Soviet Com
muniStS to use Americas civil
rights record as a propaganda
weapon against all the nations
of the free world"
James B. Carey, secretary
treasurer of the CIO, who heads
its Civil Rights Committee: THE
historic decision is another
important step toward securing
the constitutional guarantees of
equal protection under our laws
for all citizens. This decision
represents the official recogni-
ton Of our Government that the
separate but equal doctrine is
inconsistent with the funda-
mental equalitarianism of the
American way Of life. It breathes
life into another recommends
ton Of President Truman's
Committee on Civil Rights"

Supreme Court Aims
For June 7 Quitting
With Few Cases Left

The Supreme Court, aiming
for June 7 adjournment, has
fewer than a score of argued
cases to decide as an anti-cli-
matte aftermath to its decision in
the school segregation cases.
The biggest remaining issue
is validity of the Federal lobby
regulation law. The tribunal, be-
sides ruling on the five segrega-
ton cases yesterday, hghtened
its pending docket by the follow
ing actions:
1. Refused, TO, to order a new
trial of Government antitrust
charges under the Sherman Act
against the Borden Co. and four
other dairies in the Chicago
area. The charges were dismissed
by United States District Judge
William j. Campbell in Chicago
at the conclusion of the Govern
ment's presentation of it's evi-
dence. The Justice Department
appealed directly to the Supreme
Court.
2. Decided, I'll, a lower Fed
eral tribunal, acting on the re-
quest of the National Labor Re-
lations Board, may cancel a
State court injunction issued to
halt secondary picketing by a
union. The decision applied
specifically to picketing of retail
stores in the Los Angeles area
which sold bakery products made
by Capital Service, Inc.
3. Decided unanimously the
United States may not now re-
cover indemnity from one of it's
employees for whose negligence
the Government has been held
liable for damages. The case
arose from a 1948 automobile COL
lision at Blythe. Calf, in which
an employe of the United States
Coast and Geodetic Survey and
private citizen figured. The
citizen sued and won a $500
judgment.
4. Denied six>Kansas City, Mo-.
firms a Supreme Court review of
their unsuccessful suits to col
lect about million dollars from
the United States for damage
caused by the Kansas river flood
of July. 1851. The companies
complained that the Weather
Bureau and the Army engineers
failed to give adequate notice of
possible floods.
S. Affirmed a lower court de-
ciSion that the United Shoe Ma
chinery Corp, of Boston violated
the Sherman Antitrust Act by
distributing its machinery on a
lease basis to other shoe factories
throughout the country. The
Justice Department has asked
that the company be dissolved
into three separate firms. A
Federal Court judge in Boston
refused to order dissolution. But
he held that the company mo-
nopolized the manufacture and
sale of shoe machines Of various
types. He directed the company
to offer such types Of machines
for sale.

Congressional Action
On D. {. School Laws
Needed, West Says


Congress apparently will have
to take q hand in ending Dis
trict school segregation.
Corporation Counsel Vernon
e. West said yesterday Congress
will have to be called on to re-
wise some provisions Of school
pay legislation in order to carry
out integration.
The provisions. long in effect,
are for separate white and Ne
gro teacher examining boards,
teacher eligibility lists and as
sistant school superintendents.
The examining boards test ap-
plicants for permanent teacher
status. and the eligibility lists
are lists Of successful applicants,
in the order of their standing.
Appointments to teacher posts
are made strictly in this order.
Specified in 1906 Act.
Separate white and Negro ex-
amining boards were set up by
Congress in an act of June, 1906,
in the following language:
1.-THE boards of examiners &.
shall consist of the superintend-
ent and two heads of depart
ments of white schools for the
white teachers and the superin-
tendent and two heads of depart
ments Of the colored schools for
colored teachers"
In 1924 Congress again pro-
vided for separate examining
boards for the white and colored
schools. although in slightly diff
ferent language, and separate
boards again were specified in
acts of 1945 and 1947. In 1851
a chief examiner was provided
for the colored board.
It is necessary, according to
Mr.. West, for Congress itself to
act to end the duplication of
boards.
Different Tests Used.
Until this year the two ex-
amining boards not only admin
istered tests separately but used
different tests. Now the two
boards have started to use iden-
tical tests, but there is a back
log of teachers on existing eligi-
bility lists who took different
tests. Furthermore, the fact
that separate boards are admin
istering the tests, even though
the tests are the same, means
that the existing eligibility lists
cannot easily be combined. 1t
may be necessary to re-examine
some teachers.
Congress ought to resolve this
problem, otherwise the District
may face lawsuits by teachers
challenging the disposition made
| VI C1lC1A dRp4AOoUAOAIo 4O4 QPPOAAAO-
mentS officials believe.
Another Repeal Point.
The school system, also since
1906, has had a colored assistant
superintendent in charge Of COL
ored schools and white assist
ant superintendent in charge of
white schools according to
specific provision of law. 1t will
be necessary, according to Mr..
West. to have this language re-
pcaled in order to make it un-
necessary to retain this division
of authority.
1t is from the same legal back
ground that Mr.. West in 1852
ruled against proposal that
white teachers be assigned to
the colored schools to meet a
teacher shortage. Mr.. West did
not say so yesterday, but Con-
gress might have to repeal pro-
visions which impose this
limitation. too.

Oldest Methodist
College Buildings
To Go on Block
by the Associofed Press

BoYDToN. Va. Sept. ia
The site and three buildings Of
the oldest Methodist college in
America are going on the auc-
tioneer's block September %.
But a Boydton attorney, Will
liam B. Hill, hopes to rally A.
nancial support to save part of
the original buildings of Ran
dolph- h-Macon college in this
Mecklenburg County community;
and establish a non-segregated
secondary school for boys.
The land and the two 1922
year-old buildings he hopes to
save housed Randolph Macon
from its opening in 1882 until
it moved to its present site in
Ashland in 1868.
Included, in the main building
is a chapel from which President
John Tyler once delivered the
graduation address.
