Ban IsUp1e|d

RICHMOND. Va, June 13 [P.
The Virginia Supreme Court to-
day upheld the States law bar
ring interracial marriage.
In a unanimous opinion the
court denied the petition of Ham
Say Naim, a Chinese seaman
who sought to upset a lower
court annulment of his marriage
in 1850 to a Portsmouth white
woman, Ruby Elaine Naim.
Washington attorney David
Carliner, who represents Naim.
said he will appeal the decision
to the United States Supreme
Court on grounds that it raises a
constitutional question.
Naim challenged the jurisdic-
ton Of the Portsmouth Circuit
Court and the constitutionality
|of the States miscegenation
statute. The Portsmouth court
in February, 1854, annulled the
marriage. holding it was void
under the Virginia law.
We're unable to read in the
14th Amendment (of the United
States Constitution or in any
other provision of that great
document, any words or any in
tendment which prohibits the
State from enacting legislation
to preserve the racial integrity
of its citizens or which denies
the power of the State to regu-
late the marriage relation so
that it shall not have a mongrel
breed of citizens" said Justice
"A. c. Buchanan's 18-page opin-
ion.
1--WE find there no require
ment that the State shall not
legislate to prevent obliteration
of racial pride, but must permit
the corruption of blood even
though it weaken or destroy the
quality Of its citizenship. Both
sacred and secular history teach
that nations and races have bet
ter advanced in human progress
when they cultivated their own
distinctive characteristics and
culture and developed their own
peculiar genius"

would result in higher tenant
rentals and proportionately
higher ground lease payments.
3. The RIA would be per-
mitted to sell or lease about 35
per cent of the residential land
Ito other local builders If 1t de-
Isires. But the Turover group
would retain the right to beat
the highest bids by at least 10
per cent if it chooses.
4. The Turover group tenta-
lively would agree to buy the
Area B land it would develop at
some time after the fifth year of
THE proposed lease. If this hap
Ipened, the syndicate would pay
RIA a 3 per cent premium on
outstanding bonds.
5. II coming restrictions now
applied to Area B could be
changed, the group would build
a total Of 1900 instead Of 600
dwelling units. It would retain
all of the lowest-rent units but
increase other types by having
eight instead Of six-story apart
ments.
Generally, the plan proposed
by Mr.. Turover will be the same
as that Mr.. Prassas drew fol
Mr.. Bush. However, Mr.. Turnover
said he has not determined pre-
cisely what kind Of commercial
development he intends to build
on land earmarked for that use
The land uses are pretty well
restricted by a plan formally
adopted by the District Com
missioners. This plan would not
have to be changed under the
Turover bid unless the fifth Of
his alternatives were accepted.

BridgeProposal
Gets Backing
Over Tunnel
But New Site May
Be Sought for spun
Constitution Ave.

District and Federal officials
apparently have ruled out a tun-
mel in the Constitution avenue
bridge-tunnel controversy. but a
new compromise location for the
bridge may be sought.
This was indicated today in a
statement by Commissioner
Samuel Spencer, which ap-
parently reflected the viewpoint
of both the Federal Budget
Bureau and the Federal Fine
Arts Commission.
Mr.. Spencer's statement said
in part:
''It appears in the light Of all
the circumstances that q bridge
will best meet the needs, and
studies are now being made to
determine whether some change
in the site of the proposed
bridge may be possible which
will be satisfactory to the Fine
Arts Commission and others
concerned and at the same time
will meet traffic needs and cost
limitations.
Studies Required
"This involves making certain
engineering studies which it is
hoped may be completed within
about 10 days.
"The Fine Arts Commission
has never advocated a tunnel,
except as an alternative to a
bridge in the Lincoln Memorial
area and would be in favor of a
bridge at some other location. I"
The Star disclosed yesterday
that such studies were being
made. One possibility is that the
bridge-now proposed between
Arlington Memorial bridge and
Roosevelt Memorial Island -
might cross the upriver part Of
the island.
Earlier Move Failed
Fine Arts Commission members
individually favored such a plan
several months ago, but could
not get concurrence from the
Theodore Roosevelt Association,
which gave the island 70 the
Federal Government as a wilder.
ness preserve many years ago.
Earlier efforts by the district to
get a bridge across the middle
Of the island collapsed in face
Of the associations opposition.
District officials, meanwhile,
had hoped to get a final decision
from the administration on the
bridge fight this week so that
money to start construction
could be included in the budget
now before a Senate Appropri-
ations subcommittee.

.GM and Union Reach Pact
With Guaranteed Waqe
Accord Follows
Ford Puttern:
Poy Roised

DETROIT, June IS R.-The
CIO United Auto Workers Union
today nailed down at General
Motors Corp. the same guaran-
teed wage plan it won q week
ago from Ford.
Walter Reuther, JAW presi-
dent. thus firmly established the
controversial employer-paid sup
Elemental unemployment benefit
system in the auto industry, an
important beachhead from which
he hopes to launch it into other
industries.
The three-year agreement was
hammered out in a predawn set
tlement after more than 81 hours
of bargaining broken only by
brief recesses.
More than 40 of GINS 1l9
plants across the Nation were hit
by walkout as the negotiations
dragged on hours after the
unions midnight strike deadline.
The strikers were expected to re-
turn to their jobs quickly with
little loss in auto production.
Follows Ford Settlement
The GIN pact closely followed
the recent Ford Motor Co. con-
tract in nearly every respect. It
calls for Improvements in pay,
pensions, vacations and holidays
similar to those worked out at
Ford.
In addition, it grants the JAW
a full union shop for the first
time. meaning that GINS rela-
lively few non-union workers
must now join the union to keep
their Jobs.
The contract covers $4,000
wage earners represented by the
IUAW. The present pay scale Of
hourly workers is $2.l0 an hour.
The pay Of skilled workers
ranges upwards from an approx.
innate base Of $3.50 an hour.
An additional $4,000 GIN en-
ployes represented by the CIO
International Union Of Electro
cal Workers were given the same
economic benefits under an
agreement reached an hour after
the UAW settlement was an
nounced. The electrical workers
had threatened to join the auto
workers in any strike action.
Three Years Of Peace Seen
Mr.. Reuther called the GIN
settlement IAN extremely sig
nif1cant and far-reaching con-
tract" costing the corporation
$500 million over the three-year
period. Mr.. Reuther said it was
worth better than 20 cents an
hour per employe. like the Ford
contract. GIN President Harlow
H. Curtice said it assured the
vast GIN auto empire of three
more years of labor peace.
Mr.. Curtice, however, was less
than enthusiastic about the
guaranteed wage plan won by
the union. He intimated that
GIN agreed to it only because
Ford had first given in. Mr..
lCyurticn said the r,Yora nfaod xx,a oa
plan was exceedingly compli-
Gated and will require some time
to fully appraise." but GM,
nevertheless, had accepted 1t.

per cent Of regular take-home
pay. including State unemploy-
ment compensation benefits, for
