Young Lawyer
Wins Because Of
"Inexperience"

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, March
70 - A young attorney, claiming
his inexperience was partially re-
sponsible for his clients death sent
ence, won an unusual victory We'd
nesday when the Florida Supreme
Court agreed to take another look
at the case.
The appeal was made by Attor-
ney Edward Swenko, who said he
had been practicing only about a
year when he was ordered by the
high court to defend 24-year-old
Richard "Flatback" Floyd, one of
three Negroes convicted of killing
Dade County road patrolman Ed
ward Fritz during a holdup.
Swenko said Floyd had wanted
to plead guilty to the charge, but
he had advised him to withhold
the plea until an investigation was
made. Swenko said he never got
around to the investigation and
had failed to change the plea be-
fore the state brought in it's evil

Subcommittee Report On Federal Aid
Called "Shocking" By Educators

NEW YORK, N. Y, March 81
A "secret" Presidential subcom-
mittee report, characterized by
educators as shocking" "astound-
ing" and Incredible" has been
released to the press in an appar-
ent effort to counteract continuing
criticism Of President Eisenhow-
er's school-aid program. The re-
port contends that there is no need
for Federal assistance to the states

Educators and parents were es-

U. S. Commissioner of Education,
brother of Attorney General Her
bert Brownell, was a member Of
the subcommittee which drew up
the report.

.Pro-Segregation:
Bill Is Held Up In
Arkansas Senate

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, March %
Some trace of sanity still exists
in the troubled legislatures of the
Sunny South.
The Arkansas Senate last week
for all practical purposes, killed a
bill designed to maintain racial
segregation in public schools by
adding an amendment which pre-
vents the bill from going into eff
feet until July 1, 1857.
The original bill provides that
every school district should APP
point an assignment Officer to
place each child in a school. Wide
leeway is given to the officer for
his decision. Administrative pro-
cedure for appeal could delay the
entrance of any child into white
school for years - if not forever.
BY a series of adroit parliament
tary maneuvers, Sen. Max Howell,
who apparently intends to live up
to his oath to uphold the consti-
