Segregation Ends
In Baltimore

cation in Baltimore city pub
lie schools will end with the
start of classes in Septem-
Der but will continue in the
states % counties until the
Supreme Court clarifies its
historic edict.
The conflicting situation
developed last week when
the Baltimore board of
school commissioners voted
unanimously to open public
schools on a non-segregated
basis next September.
Week before last the state
board of education voted to
continue segregation in the
public schools throughout
Maryland's % counties un.
til such a time as the SUI
preme Court rules how it's
edict ending segregation in
the nations public schools
should be carried out.
County school superinten-

Of carrying out the integra-
ton order when it is final
ly decreed.
Atty. Gen. Edward D. E.
Rollins of Maryland had Civ.
en- an opinion that Mary
lands laws requiring segre-
cation remain in effect un-
til the Supreme Court rules
on implementation Of its
edict.
Thomas N. Biddison, Bal.
timore city solicitor, told the
city school board yesterday
in his ouinion, the Supreme
Court ruling invalidated the
city code provision for seq
regation and made it un-
constitutional.
! Biddison said Baltimore's
+, school system is completely
autonomous under the city
charter and segregation is
governed by the city code,
not the state laws.
After passing the reso-
luton, school commissioners
asked the department of ed
ucation to prepare material
outlining practical steps to
be taken to accomplish in
tegration in Baltimore
schools.
The material is to be pre-
sented at a special meeting
of the commissioners next
Thursday.
There are 46,14O Negro

HerzI to be MemoriuIized
on July 10th

The 5Oth year since the death of
Theodor Herzl will be memorial
lied by many Jewish organiza-
tons throughout the world begin
ming July 20, 1854, in a series of
events in tribute to the man who
launched the movement for the
restoration of the Jewish State in
Palestine. Memorial services will
be held in many cities on July 20.
Most of the major activities
throughout the United States will
be coordinated by a joint Herzl
Committee of the Jewish Agency
for Palestine and the American
Zionist Council. The Committee
plans to highlight most of the
events during the months of No
vember, December and January.
Mrs. Samuel w. Halprin, Acting
Chairman of the American Sec
ton of the Jewish Agency and
member of the Executive Com
mittee of the American Zionist
Council, is chairman of the Com
mittee.
Theodor Herzl was born in
Budapest, Hungary, in 1860 and
died in Vienna, Austria, in 1904.
He championed the cause of Zion
ism in a book called "The Jewish
State" published in 1896 which
resulted the following year in the
first World Zionist Congress in
Basic, Switzerland. Since then,
similar conventions have been
held in different cities and the
next one will be held in Jeru-
salem in 1855.

cause. There was medal for Gen.
Arif. The Pentagon wasn't inter-
ested in Gen. Yadin.
1raqi Ambassador Moussa AL
Shabandar was guest Of honor
at the reception and ceremony
honoring Gen. Arif. The ambas-
sador behaved politely but has
publicly departed from diploma
tic etiquette on other occasions by
denouncing American JewrY and
questioning the loyalty Of Ameri-
cans, of Jewish faith.
The occasion for the award to
Gen. Arif was his arrival in the
United States as a guest of the
Government to visit Army install
lations. He is here to complete ar
rangements to receive free NUM-
tons granted Iraq by the State
Department. Israel applied for
similar arms aid. The Israeli ap-
plication has been ignored since
1852.
Iraq did more than any other
Arab nation to aid the Nazis. to
persecute its Jewish inhabitants.
to introduce anti Jewish propo-
ganda in the United States. and to
avoid an armistice with Israel.
Yet it was selected by Secretary
of State Dulles as the first Arab
League member TO receive free
arms. Gen. Arif. who joined the
Nazis when the Allies seemed on
the brink of defeat. has been chos-
en- as the first Arab League Off
Ger to be decorated with U. S.
medal.
Early in 1948, before the British
withdrawal from Palestine, "vol-
unteer" Iraq forces invaded the
inundated territory. Gen. Arif
took part in this and subsequent
aggressive actions against Pale
stinian Jewry and the nation of
Israel. He and his troops were de-
feated by Jewish courage.

New Engrayer Strike
On New York Papers
Seen as Possibility
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 3.-The
head of the AFL Photo Engrav-
ers Union which struck six
major New York newspapers last
December, said today there is
possibility the engravers may "go
back on strike Monday"
Denis M: Burke, president of
Local l of the union, said he
based his statement on resent
ment expressed by a few mem
berS on a Federal fact-finding
boards recommendation of last
night that they get a $3.75
weekly package. the same wage
offer they rejected in calling the
December strike.
Mr.. Burke said the engravers
will meet Sunday afternoon to
consider the report and "they
may vote Sunday to go back on
strike Monday"
Schedules Meetings.
Mr.. Burke said he had not
talked with any members of the
unions negotiating committee
this morning. However, he
said he would meet with the
committee tomorrow. and after
that session would meet with the
representatives of the publishers.
The fact-flnding board split,
81. on the decision, with AFL
President George Meany dissent
ing. The ruling is not binding.
The ruling was of significance
even beyond the union immedi-
ately involved. The formula of
1915 plus fact-flnding had been
accepted by several other unions
and had been expected in many
quarters to establish pattern
in the newspaper industry.
The union originally demanded
q SIS weekly increase. but later
reduced the amount to $3.50. An
employer offer to submit the
issues to arbitration was rejected.
Strike Halted Dec. 8.
The strike was halted Deem
Der 8, when both sides agreed to
the fact-f1nding board. The panel
was to determine whether the
union should get more than the
$3.75 offered by the publishers
and whether the 1914 -hour work
week should be reduced.
Impartial Chairman Ralph T.
Seward, Washington labor at
torney. and Richard Slocum,
general manager of the Phila-
delphia Bulletin, held that the
offer was sufficient.
Mr.. Meany contended, how
ever. that the publishers had
ignored the unions demands for
wage and hour equality with
commercial and gravure shops.

He instructed Mr.. Smith to

bilitieS for participating in
bridge costs and to report back.
Earlier District Engineer
Commissioner Louis w. Prentiss
strongly Endorsed the Jones
Point Bridge. but recommended
that its cost authorization be
increased by S4.5 million in order
to expand it's size from four to
six lanes.
Other District, Maryland and

forces to urge its construction.

The Maryland official disclosed
also that if the Federal Govern

Mr.. Lewis noted that a tun-

feeling is that if the Jones Point

will be one of the last cities. from

Several District officials stressed
that the Jones Point bridge
would in no way be an alternate

Grand Jury Siudiss
Case Against Four
In House SHOOTING

Speedy indictment was sought
today of four Puerto Ricans
charged withsshooting five men,
bers of Congress in a salvo of
gunflre from the visitors gallery
of the House Monday afternoon.
While other Government au-
thorities investigated subversive
angles Of the crime, United
States Attorney Leo A. Rover
went before the grand jury and
aided in presenting the essential
evidence in only hour and As
minutes.
Mrs. Lolita Lebron.> "a, self
described leader of the plot, and
three compatriots of the fanatic
Nationalist Party from New York,
are charged on five counts each
Of assault with intent to kill.
Representative Paul w. Shafer,
Republican, of Michigan arrived
shortly before II am. to tell the
jurymen the story of the fateful
minute when wild gunf1re dis
rupted deliberations of the House.
Mr.. Shafer said he was selected
to testify because he was Just
rising when the firing started and
positively saw four persons firing
from the gallery. Most of the
other 242 Representatives on the
floor at the time had a distorted
idea of what had happened.
Emerging from a half hour
session with the jury, Mr.. Shafer
told newsmen this version of the
shooting:
II had Just walked over to the
Democratic side on a personal
matter and started back to the
Republican side. Near the rear
of the chamber I stopped to talk
to Oren Harris of Arkansas.
Il had an excellent view and
saw those four people shooting.
At first I thought it was some
kind of demonstration and they
were using blanks. 1 never
thought such a crazy thing could
happen in Congress.
There was one short burst of
gunfire; then another. On the
second volley I saw some plaster
dust fall on the shoulder of Mr..
Harris and then I realized they
were shooting hot ammunition.
THAT was when Harris and
dropped to the floor. One of the
four sat down quietly after the
first burst of fire, then walked
out. I insist there were four
persons, all firing"
Four other witnesses were
called to put the complete story
together.
Doctors Also Called.

staff Of Casualty Hospital, who
