Segregation
Suit Studied

San Diego, Calf, Mar. 29.-U.
S. District Court here is studying
the motion to dismiss the Ell Centre
school segregation complaint. The
motion, filed last Thursday by at
torneys for Ell Centre school au-
thorities, was contested by NAACP
lawyers.
Defendants contend that the
complaint should be heard initially
in a state court rather than the
Federal Court.
The action was entered on behalf
of the parents of 20 Negro chill
dren, and charges racial segrega-
ton of elementary students and
discriminatory placement of Negro
teachers.

and prayer. The address was a
masterpiece truly provoked food

When the Wisconsin Senator

Senator Mansfield, Democrat.

proposal.
y Describing himself as utterly
opposed to the resolution, Sem
ator Mansfield said in an inter-
view: "Of course, all Americans
regardless of party or position
are in favor of liberating the
satellite areas"
But, he continued, although
action by the Senate would not
officially tie the Presidents hands
nor commit him to carry out the
injunction of the resolution, it
would tend to restrict his free
dom to negotiate.
The Senate has no constitu-
