Stotes Fighters Hit
AS Ignoring Negro

NEW YORK. Jan. 26 @.-The
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People
said last night pro-segregation
States Fighters in the South
have disregarded the Negroes
point of view.
The statement came as a fol-
lowup to Tuesdays conference of
Governors of South Carolina,
Virginia, Mississippi and Georgia
They agreed to ask their legis-
latures to stand on the States
rights theory against United
States Supreme Court anti-segre-
cation decisions.
Letters sent to the Governors
today by NAACP Executive Sec
Iretary Roy wilkins read in part:
The States rights doctrine
lis valid only to the extent that
Iall the people have a free and
equal voice In determining State
policy. The voice of the Negro
in State affairs is almost COM
Ipletely stilled in Mississippi and
| is muffled in all of your States.
Not a single Negro serves in the
Legislature Of any Of these States.
No Negro has a voice in making
the laws in the States which you
represent. Save for a handful
of police in a few localities. no
Negro is charged with enforcing
the law in your States.
I'm your plea for States rights
you disregard the Negroes point
of view. There is no evidence
that the majority. or any sizeable
minority, Of Negro citizens in
your States approve of discrim-
nation and segregation"

The House resounded yester-
day with bitter attack by
Southerners on the Supreme
Court and the tribunals historic
ruling against segregation in
public schools.
Representative Williams. Dem
ocrat Of Mississippi. led the as
sault with an hour-long speech
calling on States to attempt to
block the decision through use
Of the theory of interposition.
THE time is at hand" Mr.
Williams declared, when the
States must reassert their con-
stitutional rights or suffer their
own destruction. The zero hour
for State governments has ar
rived, and it might well be the
zero hour also for our republican
form of government"
Others Join Attack
The theory Of interposition
holds that State could declare
a Supreme Court decision null
and void within its boundaries
a Federal constitutional
amendment affirming the ruling
were adopted. Constitutional
amendments must be ratified by
two-thirds of the States.
Several Southern legislatures
have started various forms Of
such action.
A number of other Southern
legislators joined Mr.. Williams in
attacking the court and its de-
cision.
One member, Representative
Boyle. Democrat of Illinois. rose
to defend the court.
Il don't think we can win any
thing when we deprecate the Su-
preme Court with a lot of loose
language" he said.
Purpose Is Notification
In calling for States to adopt
the course of interposition, Mr..
Williams contended more than
school segregation is involved in
the matter. Also involved. he
said, is the question of whether
the Supreme Court has the right
to amend the Constitution" and
the question of such aboritive
invasions of State sovereignties."

An Old SuIt Who
Knows the Answers
By JACK JONAS

One can almost detect an
aura of salt spray about
Charles Heineman.
Fifty-four years ago he
Joined the Navy as an appren-
tice boy and learned to handle
sail on the frigate U.S.S. Con-
stellation. Now he Is serving a
hitch at the Truxtun-Decatur
Museum.
The museum, at 1910 H
street NV, occupies the old
carriage house next door to
the slave quarters Of the
Stephen Decatur mansion.
Since opening six years ago,
1t has amassed an enviable
naval collection, but few
Washington 'landlubbers are
aware of its existence.
"MoSt of our visitors are
from out of town." Mr.. Heine-
man said, pointing to the daily
log which showed that since
May IL, 1850, 139, 800 had called
to see items ranging from an
iron spike and a red glass COB
let from the old U.S.S. Kear-
sarge down to a model of the
atom sub Nautilus. Maybe
It's because we're listed in the

THE MUSEUM is a mecca
for writer's of naval history,
and for the just plain curious,
and Mr.. Heineman answers
their questions.
"Glad to-" he said. And If

there. And if the answer isn't
there, the question goes to the
history section Of the Navy
Department. If it's too old for
them, it goes to Archives. But
eventually the question is an

Not all of the questions deal
with naval matters.
"a fellow came in here not
long ago, very excited" Mr..
Heineman said. "He had a
sketch with him, and wanted
to know what it was. I think
1t was a quiz question from
someplace, and there must

1.-THE sketch stumped me.

.Rigney Determined
To Get CustIemun
Into Giants Lineup

PHOENIX. Ariz., Mar. Z R.-
It's just possible Foster Castle
mans slow-mending knee could
keep him from playing second
base for the New York Giants
this year, but Manager Bill
Rigney is determined to get him
into the lineup, even if he has
to turn him into an outfielder.
"Of course, I'm still figuring
he'll be our second baseman,"
Rigney said today, "but if it
looks as though his knee won't
be able to take it at second base,
we'll put him in the outfleld just
to keep him playing"
Castleman. who has appeared
in only % major league contests
in his career, hit .304 in the 43
games he was able to play for
Minneapolis last season. The
year before he hit BIT in IS
games at Minneapolis. Rigney
was there both years, as man.
ager, and he developed consider
able confidence in the efficient
young infielder.
CaStleman, who was Is on New
Years Day, has been bothered
over the past few seasons by a
series of knee injuries. He was
reported in sound playing condi-
ton after an operation last
winter, but his knee has stiffened
on him a little this week. The
condition isn't believed serious,
but he's taking a couple Of days
of rest anyway.

Players TO Hear
Owners Offer

TAMPA. Fla, Mar. 7 R.-I
Except for a disagreement over
the pension plan. the major
league player representatives
met today in an atmosphere of
harmony to receive a f1rst-hand
report from their attorney on
the club owners latest conces-
sion.
The attorney, j. Norman
Lewis, few in from New York
to explain the precise mean
ing" of the owners new program

mand to be represented at the

want to be kept abreast Of all
negotiations by the commits
sioner on the new TV and radio
contract for the World Series
and All-Star Game. The present
contract expires after the 1856

It is believed the players are
willing to abide by the recon-
lmendation of the six-man COM
Imittee. selected by the owners,
ito review the present league

the present minimum and UNI
limited maximum standards are
equitable. The committee, John
IGalbreath of Pittsburgh. Dick
Meyer of st. Louis. Joe Cairnes
|of Milwaukee, Tom Yawkey of
Boston, Hank Greenberg Of
Cleveland and Spike Briggs Of
Detroit, is not expected to re-
port until after the start of the

be no change in his attitude re-
.garding a negotiation of the new
TV and radio contract, which is
expected to bring from SO mil
lion to 81 million a year.
