Washington had a unique
naturalization ceremony today
1t was the only one being held
in this country this month be-
cause of a law prohibiting natu-
ralizations in the United States
for a period of so days prior to
elections. The ceremony in the
United States Courthouse was
permissible in the District be-
cause of the lack of the vote
here. it was explained by natu-
ralization authorities.
About 25 women naturalized
today had come to the District
so they could became citizens in
time to accompany their hus-
bands overseas. The husbands,
it was said. are scheduled to go
overseas either in military or
civilian capacities.

Supreme Court
Refuses to Hear
Lease Plan
BY MARY LOU WERNER

Virginia's hopes for getting
around segregation decisions with
lease arrangements were shat
tered today after the Supreme
Court refused to review the Sea-
shore State Park case.
BY denying the review, the
high court upheld a decision
which bars lease of the park for
operation on a segregated basis.
1t may even bar sale of State
property-parks, schools OF other
public facilitieS-for use on a
segregated basis.
The Seashore State Park suit
had been regarded as a key case
in the States efforts to main
tain segregation in its parks and
other facilities. 1t had been
specialized that school buildings
might be leased to private
groups and operated on a seq
regated basis It huS circum-
venting the Supreme Court deci-
sion barring racial segregation
in public schools.
The Seashore case developed
when the State sought to lease
the park to a private group. !.
Stipulation Banned
/ Federal Judge Walter f.. Hoff-
man held that the State could
not bar Negroes from the park,
and that it could not be leased in
such a way that would result, in
racial segregation.
Judge Hoffman ruled that the
State could not do indirectly
what it had no right to do di-
rectly. In short he said. the
power to sell or lease public
property must not include the
power to discriminate against
members of any race"
Rather than operate an inte-
grated park, the State has kept
iSeaShore, near Virginia Beach,
closed for the last two summers.
The States other eight parks
including one for Negroes-have
remained open, since there has
been no effort to push integra-
ton at any of them. State
leaders have indicated, however,
that all parks will be closed II
they are directed to integrate.
Judge Hoffmans ruling was
upheld last April by the United
States Supreme Court OF APP
peals. and a review was denied
yesterday by the Supreme Court.
Dormant Status Anticipated
The Associated Press reported
that Virginia Attorney General
j. Lindsay Almond. IT,, had the
following comment when notified
in Richmond of the Supreme
Courts action:
1T might safely be assumed,
I think, that the recreational
facilities of Seashore State Park
will remain dormant. Under our
system of government, unfortu-
nately. there is no appeal from
the Supreme Court of the United
States"
State Parks Commissioner
Randolph Odell said his Office
had nothing definite in the way
of plans for the park" but in
dicated some decision might be
reached by the Board of Con-
servation and Development at q
meeting later this month.

Court Weighs
Gold sAppea|

The full bench of the U. S.
Court of Appeals for the District
Iof Columbia today had under
study the appeal of Ben Gold
from his conviction of classifying
a Taft-Hartley affidavit.
Gold, former president of the
international Union of Fur and
Leather Workers, was sentenced.
i'm 1854. to serve from one to three
years In prison on a false state
ments charge. Specifically, he
was convicted of falsely stating
in the affidavit that he no longer
was a member of the Communist
Party.
Yesterday, attorneys for Gold
argued that the jury that con-
victed him had felt as though
"the FBI we're looking over their
shoulders"
This was because, the attor-
neys said. FBI agents had ques-
TONED three members of the
panel or their families concern
ling reports of pro-Communist
literature being distributed in
connection with a different case.
Under the circumstances,
Colds counsel commended. a mis-
trial should have been declared.
But Government attorneys
contested this with the declara-
ton that there was nothing
about the questioning tn a t
might be deemed prejudicial to
Gold.
Other arguments in the appeal
Irevolved about questions as to
the amount and type of evidence
required to convict under the
false statements statute and that
laws relation to the perjury
statute.
