White Pupils Boycott
School Second Day
In Delaware Dispute
BY the Assoeiated Press

MILFORD, Del. Sept. 2S.-
More than two-thirds of the pu-
pills at Milford's newly integrated
school stayed home from classes
for the second day today as the
battle over admission Of II Negro
pupils continued.
DR.. George r. Miller. State
superintendent of public instruc-
ton, announced that 500 pupils
or 1926 per cent of the 1852
enrolled at the previous all-white
combined elementary and high
school-attended classes today
This was an increase of 3 per
cent over yesterday when 456
pupils reported after their
schools had been. closed for a
week.
Two Factors Involved.
DR.. Miller said the two factors
still dominating the situation
are "the fear Of violence and in
timidation by those opposed to
the integration."
Meanwhile, at the nearby
town of Lincoln only 36 of a
total enrolment of 140 pupils at
an all-white elementary school
reported for classes today. Par
ents were reported to have kept
their children at home in sym
pathy with the Milford boycott.
A crowd of about 100 persons
gathered outside the Lincoln
school as classes started, but
quickly dispersed.
Eight of the II Negro pupils
arrived again for classes in Mil
ford in private cars and two
other boys came on school bus
with 81 white pupils. DR.. Miller
said school officials are checking
a report that the 18th Negro
pupil has quit the Milford school
to attend an all-Negro school in
Dover. He said there was no Of
fetal confirmation of the report.
Boycott Pushed at Rally.
Last night. prosegregation
forces in the Milford school dis
trict, at their third meeting in
three days. stepped UP their
demand for a boycott of the
school at a mass meeting in
Lincoln. State police said a con-
servatiye estimate of the crowd
was $50.
The Rev. Manaen Warning
ton, newly-elected president of
the Delaware chapter of the
National Association for the
Advancement of White People,
urged the parents to keep their
children home in opposition to
integration until the Negroes
get out of our schools"

its top administrative positions
from civil service. Voting for
removal were the chairman,
Raymond Kelly. a Republican.
and F. c. Squire, the industry
representative. Horace w. Har-
yper. the labor member, voted
against the proposal.
The majority argued that the
board needed it's own people to
carry out administration policy.
MIR. Kelly is reported, at first
to have sought the removal Of
26 of the boards top jobs from
civil service, including bureau
chiefs and regional directors.
The board has about 1900 en-
ployes. Mr.. Kelly Is said to have
argued that these jobs involved
policy and confidential agency
matters and, therefore, should
be in Schedule c.
However, this list was later
trimmed to 10 jobs, with the
bureau chiefs and regional direc-
tors positions not included in
the Schedule C request.
The railroad groups. in their
brief to the commission, contend
that Congress. in setting up the
board in 1887. specifically placed
all the jobs involved under civil
service, in accordance with an
agreement reached with the rail-
way unions and railroad manage
ment.
They contend that the board,
which administers the retire
ment and unemployment sys-
tenn benefits of railroad workers,
is intended to be strictly divorced
from politics.
Furthermore, the petition de-
clares that the boards function
is purely administrative" one,
with Congress setting the policy.
Therefore, 1t is argued. the jobs
involved are not of a policy-mak-
ing nature.
"The competitive service re-
quirements of civil service in the
employment and maintenance of
board personnel is regarded as a
guarantee to railroad labor that

Roberts Is En- Route
To Miami for Trial
In Daughter Staying
By the Assoeiofed Press

MIAMI. Fla, Sept. 28.-
James T. Roberts. 43-year-olc
Baltimore attorney, is en- route
from Baltimore to Miami to face
trial on charges of numbering
his daughter Judith Ann, Z.
Judith Ann was taken from
the Miami home of her grand
parents. Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
Rosenberg. and slain, and hel
body was found July z.
Roberts contends his daughter
was the victim Of a sex fiend; he
has discounted the theory-held
by some police of6cers-that the
child was kidnapped and that
ransom was the motive behind
the crime.
I Wife to Stand by Him.
His wife, Mrs. Shirley Roberts
expressed belief in Baltimore yes
terday in her husbands inno-
cence and pledged that she will
stand by him"
Mrs. Roberts called her parents
to tell them that she planned to
fly to Miami today with her
3-year-old daughter Betty.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rosenberg dis
counted theories that the crime
was committed for ransom.
Five minutes after a prelimi-
nary hearing in Baltimore, at
which an indictment was read
charging Roberts with killing
his daughter, the father waived
extradition and was escorted to
an automobile by deputies Earl
Venno and William McCrory for
the drive to Miami. The deputies
said they planned to drive in
easy stages and wouldn't reach
Miami for several days.
The first stop was made last
night at Petersburg, Va, where
Roberts remained overnight in
the city Jail.
Roberts told Circuit Judge J.
Howard Murray in Baltimore yes
terday he was willing to sign
extradition papers and that
he was going down on my own u
Arraignment Set Friday
State Attorney George Brauti-
gam. who returned to Miami
last night. said Roberts will be
arraigned Friday on the murder
count.
Roberts attorney, Harold J.
Hastings, said in Baltimore it
was persecution rather than
prosecution" and added he would
come to Miami next week to try
to get his client out on bond.
Mr.. Hastings said he is a close
friend of long standing and that
Roberts law partners, Richard
P. Gilbert and Henry Rocklin,
may help in the case.
The Roberts family had just
arrived in Miami for a vacation
when Judith Ann was slain. Her
body was found several hours
later in a palmetto thicket a
couple Of miles from the Rosen-
berg home.

Ex-P0Ws Denounce
Former China Editor
Before Jenner GROUP

John w. Powell, former editor
of the China Monthly Review Of
Shanghai. yesterday pleaded the
Fifth Amendment in answering
questions concerning Communist
Party affiliation. He also heard
himself bitterly denounced by
former American prisoners of
war who were forced to read his
magazine as part of Communist
tndoctrination courses.
Two of the former POWs
were from the Washington area.
They were Carroll Wright, of 318
North George Mason drive. Ar
lington. now a real estate man,
and Corpl. Page Thomas Baylor,
jr.. colored. Of 1889 Cedar street
Sc.
At the conclusion Of lengthy
afternoon session Of the Senate
Internal Security subcommittee
at which Powell and the former
prisoners testified, Chairman
Jenner. Republican. of Indiana,
announced that the entire record
of the hearing 'is going to be
sent to the Department Of JUS
tice to see that justice is DONE"
Refuses to Answer.
Powell, son of the late j. B.
Powell, founder of the Review
and longtime American cor
respondent in the Far East. spent
most of his time on the stand
refusing to answer questions
concerning possible Communist
Party affiliation and the part his
publication may have played in
furthering the Communist line
in China.
He told the subcommittee fire.
quently that it was getting into
an area where I don't think you
have any right to be getting
into personalities which have no
place here J.. getting into q dis
cussion which serves no useful
purpose. -
He repeatedly attempted to
seek refuge in the First Amend
ment of the Constitution, which
guarantees free speech. but Sena-
tor Jenner told him sharply that
the committee did not recognize
his privilege under that amend
ment for questions of fact con-
corning his publication. Accord
tngly. he used the Fifth Amend
ment in refusing to say whether
he had ever been or is now
member of the American Com
muniSt Party. or whether he had
ever been a member of the Com
munist Party Of China.
Powell grew up in China, was
educated in this country, then
returned to China during World
War II as a member of the Office
Of War Information. He succeed
ed his father as editor of the
Review for several years after
the war, returning to the United
States in August, 1858. He now
lists himself as writer and lec-
turer." living in San Francisco.
Prisoners Starved.
Mr.. Wright, Corpl. Baylor, and
Maj. William r. Shadish, Of the
Army Medical Corps, also a
former POW. told the subcomit-
tee how prisoners were starved,
beaten and thrown into holds for
days at a time to force them to
accept the Communist line. The
prisoners. they related. would be
given copies of the Review and
Communist publications to read,
and then would be asked whether
or not they agreed with state
mentS contained in them. If they
did not agree absolutely, they
were punished.
