much the same manner in a few
words. occasionally without cit
ing previous decisions as a basis
for such dismissal.
Almost as frequently, however,
the court has expressly explained
why it dismissed an appeal or
otherwise directed that a case
be returned to the lower courts
for further proceedings.
Ruling Stirred Talk
Dismissal of the appeal from
South Carolina led to an imme-
diate widespread Interpretation
that the Supreme Court. in eff
feet, had upheld the appeals
court announcement that racial
segregation on public transpor-
tation, at least within South
Carolina, violated the Federal
Constitution.
Technically. the Supreme
Court dismissed the appeal APP
parently because there had not
been a final Judgment on other
points in the lower courts. That
involved a $25, 900 damage claim
of a Negro woman who contend
ed her civil rights were violated
when a bus driver refused to let
her occupy a section reserved for
white passengers. That issue can
still be tried but the basic seq
regation issue affecting that
jurisdiction has been settled by
the appeals court.
The Supreme Court did not
elaborate on its reasons for dis
or even hint at them be-
yond citing a 1929 case. That
decision, which did not deal
with either segregation or trans
portation, held that the case in
question had not been adjudi-
Gated on its merits in the lower
courts
Citation Held Unusual
Citation of a 27-year-old case
of this kind was regarded as UNI
usual under the circumstances.
So far as a check of the term
record showed yesterday, cita-
lions accompanying dismissal
and similar orders listed prece-
dents within the last four or
five years. They were generally
to exact situations,
such as segregation in schools
or public recreation.

Unlikely toAdd
To Bus Ruling
BY ROBERT X. WALSH

The Supreme Court, according
to indications yesterday. is
highly unlikely to add anything
to its statement of last week or
the South Carolina bus segrega-
ton case.
The tribunals order list to-
morrow will be scanned carefully
but with no great expectations
to see if something more is said
to clarity the matter at this
time.
But a look at order lists dis
missing or otherwise refusing to
accept scores of other appeals
since the current term opened
last October offers interesting if
not always enlightening compar-
isons.
1t shows that the court in this
instance neither broke nor Gre
ated precedent in tersely dis
missing a Columbia IS. c. bus
company's appeal from a United
States Court of Appeals ruling

anything about the color of a
mans skin. The same melting
pot that worked up North will
solve this problem. Men who
associate together in the Army
and Navy and work together and
learn together will find out that,
under the skin. there is no diff
ference between people"
The real people of Mont
gomery," Ala. Mr.. Truman de-
clared, were not represented in
the courtroom-"the people of
the South like the Negroes-in
some countries they hate them. -
But some of the problem in
the South comes from sheer
numbers-"how would you feel
if you found yourself on a
street corner IN Canton?"

the former President is very
conscious of Missouri's place as
a border State. He himself, he
says. is a typical Missourian. :"

Negro population"
I'VE have always been a border
land between North and South
There has been a somewhat more
liberal attitude prevailing in
Kentucky than you will find in
those States with a heavy Negro
population"
Cites Others Problems
Indignation, DR.. Donovan says
should be a slow process in areas
of the Nation where segregation
has long been accepted as the
rule.
II think President Eisenhower
has pointed out that the Deep
South should be given more time
for migration" he said. IF 1t
is done over the period of a
decade. it will be more successful
than If thrust upon them all at
once" =
DR.. Donovan believes that
"agitators" are forcing the in
tegration issue in the South.
He says IF it hadn't been Tor
agitators, the Civil War never
would have taken place. If the
agitators continue, they may
have to put troops in the South,
and that would be a terrible
thing"
Time" he says. heals many
sores"

Board Postpones
Laying of Levy
10 May Session

Further action on Buckingham S
S550-277 budget and $40 personal
property tax levy were postponed
until May by the board of super
visors at their monthly session
Monday
The move for postponing laying
of the levy was introduced by super
visor. Dr.. w. A. Pennington The
proposed budget calls for a $478, 270
outlay for operation of public
schools and S72,007 for general
county operating expenses.
Total income from revenue a
mounts to approximately $540l27, of
which 5000. 56l will come from state
fsources. Another Sl73026 is to be
raised by the present tax levy and
$36.376 is the county's share of
ABC profits.
Although the county will operate
at an estimated deficit of $40, 100,
the board OF supervisors is not eX-
pected to raise the present levy.
In other action Monday the board
approved two requests by the
School Board for State funds for
improving school sites at Bucking-
ham Central and Marshall District
Largest of the two requests was
application for $4,000 from the
Literary Fund for improvements at
Central High.
The Board also appropriated $500
to the Buckingham County Voun-
teer Fire Department. $500 to
Southside Community Hospital and
donated 500 to the Red Cross cam
paign.
The Board also requested the
State Highway Department to lay
off and paint parking lines in and
around the Court House square.
