there still separate coaches In
Southern States?
A. In a number OF Southern
States that IN still true. An action
lis now pending the National As
ISOLATION for the Advancement Of
colored People brought the ac-
ton against II Southern rail-
roads. before the Interstate Com
mercc Commission. to insist that
the Supreme Court decision deal
ing with segregation In travel be
complied with. One very interest
ing thing Is that In the South to-
day. any part of II you visit. you
win find that In chair cars, Pull
man cars and dining cars there Is
no segregation--there has been no
difficulty OF any sort. With re-
spcct to plane travel. that also Is
true. But in the day coaches there
continues TO be segregation. Also
In great many places that Is go
ing by the board. even In intra-
state travel
q. Has this Supreme Court ruiz
ing ON schools any direct bearing
on that matter7
A. Not directly. but Plessy vs..
Ferguson dealt with Interstate
railroad travel but soon was APP
piled to other phases Of life. We
believe that this is going to hap
pen in the present five cases In
which the Supreme Court has Just
ruled that II win affect relation
ships not. only in schools but In
other ways.
q. DO you plan to follow up
with any specific court test ON
any specific phase Of segrcga-
tions
A. Do you mean with respect to
schools?
q. No, with respect to such
things as travel. entertainment,
hotels and restaurants
A. There you have a variety of
problems. On travel we can reach
II with the Interstate Commerce
Commission and through the
courts. In the matter of hotels and
restaurants. that is by and large a
legislative problem along with the
education OF public opinion. You'd
be surprised TO know that instances
in which changes OF pattern have
taken place in very recent years.
Only few weeks ago ! wrote a
magazine article about the
changes that have taken place In

years ago even a man like DR..
Ralph Bunche. one Of the great

DR.. Proctor wants to explore for
oil and other minerals that
might lie under the continental
shelf. DR.. Proctor's claim is
based on the right of discovery.
He has laid claim to the land
for the last 80 years.
At one time, permission to
build a wharf to facilitate the
drilling was denied him on
grounds it would be a hazard to
shipping. Mr.. Wolverton said his
client has since invented a drill
boat and now can operate with

Former Patient Tells
OF Kissing Dates
With Dir. Sheppard
BY the Assoeiosed Press

CLEVELAND, Aug. 5.-Police
reported today they have !, a
signed statement from a married
woman admitting she had re-
cent "hugging and kissing" dates
with DR.. Samuel H. Sheppard.
The woman was described as
former patient of the 30-year-
old osteopath who is charged
with first-degree murder in the
Staying of his wife Marily, 81.
The information was disclosed
by a high police official. He also
said investigators now have es-
tabliShed amorous escapades
with five women in the life of
DR.. Sheppard.
The only woman identified so
far is Miss Susan Hayes, "a
year-old hospital technician,
who returned here voluntarily
from Los Angeles to tell of in
timacies with the defendant.
Woman Tells of Dates.
In the latest case, the officer,
who refused to be identified by
name, said the husband of the
woman signed a statement say
ing he slapped his wife because
she took a walk in the woods
with DR.. Sheppard. i,
The woman, said she had
three or four dates" with the
osteopath and they ''hugged and
kissed; nothing more"
On one occasion, the woman
said in her statement, they took
a two-hour automobile ride and
parked in Metropolitan Park.
She admitted being the more
aggressive of the two.
DR.. Sheppard previously had
been questioned about the
woman, police said, and denied
their relationship was anything
other than strictly doctor
patient"
The osteopath lay on his cot

a portable radio and read mag
azines about "hot-rod" cars. De-
tectives yesterday halted their
questioning, saying the prisoner
would not talk and they were
merely wasting time.
Hearing Tomorrow.
Tomorrow the Appellate Court
will conduct hearing on a Pc
tition by DR.. Sheppard's attor-
neys for a writ of prohibition
which would halt a preliminary
hearing on the murder charge
scheduled for Saturday in Bay
Village.
If the Appellate Court does not
stop the Saturday hearing, the
prosecution has indicated it will
ask a continuance until Monday,
allowing more time to prepare its
case.
The purpose Of the hearing
would be to determine whether
there is enough evidence to hold
DR.. Sheppard for a grand jury

Navy Sets Up
Observatory
At Richmond

The U. S. Navy recently COM
pleted facility at Richmond, Flo
rida, that will serve as substa-
tion for the Naval Observatory of
Washington, D. C.
The new subStation will use a
vertically mounted telescope with
a Photographic attachment for Gel
esital observations. Complete STAN
dard clock. Photographic, and ra-
dio equipment has also been INSTALL
ed.
The 26 acre Richmond Road site
was selected, as this area affords
a considerable number of clear
nights which are required for the
astronomical observations, and the
area is relatively free from radio
interference.
An $4,000 contract for the con-
Struction of the facility was award
ed to the Belcher Oil Company Of
Miami. This firm handled the COM
plete construction of the facility un-
der the direction of the Navy De-
partment, Bureau of Yards and
Docks.
A total of 1900 square feet of
floor area has been provided for
astronomical equipment. a photo
graphic laboratory, radio equip
ment, office space, and for the uti-
lities required.
The Belcher Oil Company also
handled the installation of electro
nc equipment and radio antennas.
The subStation was established at
a temporary location in Richmond,
Florida. in March 194s and obser-
vations have been made since that
time.
The Naval Observatory Time Ser.
vice Substation will furnish daily
astronomical observations to sup
plement the observations made at
Washington, D. c. This data is re-
quired for the determination of the
exact time and the variations of
latitude, and also for the general
advancement of the science of as
tronomy.
The planning and design for the
project was handled by the Dis
trict Public Works Officer, Char
lesion, South Carolina, and the con.
tract was administered by the Re-
sident Officer in Charge of Con-
struction, Key West.

Pope Passes
Restless Night

VATICAN CITY PA reliable
source said today ailing Pope Plus
XII passed "a none too tranquil
night" His rest was again dis
turbed by hiccups.
But the pontiff's doctors hope
that if the weather is good he will
be able to take an automobile ride
later today in the Vatican gardens.
The ride would be part of a new
course of treatment aimed at in
creasing gradually the Pope's ply
sical activities.
The 78-year-old head of the Ro-
man Catholic Church has not left
his Vatican apartment since his
grave collapse Dec. 2. X-rays
taken two days ago showed he is
suffering from small hernia of
the eSophagus, near where it joins
the stomach, and from gastritis.
A highly placed source said yes
terday the gastritis an inflamma-
ton of the stomach, is of a hem
Orrhagic nature and causes a slow
loss of blood.
His physicians hope to build up
the Pope's strength with increased
oral feeding and to enliven his ap-
petite by such outings as the auto
ride.
Further details of the new course
Of treatment were not disclosed.
1t was decided on yesterday during
two long conferences the Pope's
private physician, DR.. Riccardo
Galeazzi-Lisi. had with consulting
specialists.
Noting that the pontiff continues
to be quite weak, DR.. Galeazzi-
Lisi said it was necessary to build
up his strength before considering
an operation for the hernia.
DR.. Raffaele Paolucci di Val
maggiore, noted Italian surgeon
who attended yesterdays confer
ences, agreed that surgery can be
postponed. Some other consultants.
however, have been reported as
favoring an opration in the naar
future.
One of the major problems fac
ing the doctors is to persuade the
Pope to rest. His pulse rate is said
to speed up when ever he does
any work.

SEOUL R-President Syngman
Rhee today ordered police and ed

Wading into the religious con-
