So Billion Business
He told them the hotel in

from a steadily rising per capita
income throughout many parts
OF the world. Hotel business IN
the United States, he said, has
reached SO billion a year, "a
growth that has made possible
the building of large and sue

2.007 giants Of 5000 rooms"
The 43 Sheraton hotels in the
United States and Canada, he
said, have a gross annual value of
over $3.50 million. He suggested
hotels work up an exchange pro-
gram, similar to that employed
for students and teachers. Hotel
men such as chefs. department
heads and room clerks, he OBJ

/. The Negroes are prohibited

3. The Negroes did not exhaust

Same Points
Substantially these same points
are cited by Norfolk and New.

Hoffman. They later amended
their motions to cite the new

For these reasons, Judge Hoff-
man indicated that If the appeals

bound to rule similarly in the

On the other hand, if the higher

School seal as constant reminder
to students of the goals which the
school strives to achieve.
Originally organized as a branch
OF Macfarland Junior High, Paul
became a separate school in its own
right in February. 1880. 1t is named
for Edward Augustus Paul, noted
educator and the first principal of
the Advanced Grammar School for
Boys dater called Central High
SCHOOL,.
Paul moved to its present home
on upper Eighth street in 1880. The
first graduating class numbered only
SO students as contrasted with the
375 graduates of June, 1856. In the
~ years since the school was estab-
lished approximately 10000 stu
dents have moved along through
the three-year program. This year
the student body numbers 1.425.
Our school has always had many
able educators on its staff. many
of whom have gone on to other
responsibilities in the District school
system. The first principal was L. J.
Cantren, now assistant superintend-
ent in charge of all junior high
schools in the city. Thomas Ferry.
the present principal succeeded Mr..
Cantren in 1899.
The school is stated by SIS full

BROWNSVILLE, Ga. R-Pres-'
ident Eisenhower new program
for releasing a billion dollars
worth of uranium at home and
abroad for peaceful atomic prof.
ects presented a challenge to Rus
STA yesterday to follow suit.
The President announced late
Wednesday the United States will
make available $4,000 pounds of
atomic material, uranium 235, to
pioneer Aemrican firms and to
friendly nations in a demonsTa-
ton of "our faith that the atom
can be a powerful instrument for
the promotion of world peace"
His announcement came just
one day after Soviet Premier Mix
olaf Bulganin had stated, 1--WE
Communists must fully place the
greatest discovery of the goth CEN
tury-atomic energy-at the SER
vice of the cause of building Com
munism."
Bulganin pictured Russia as
"ahead of other countries" in the
peaceful uses of atomic energy,
but did not talk of sharing atomic
materials.
Actually, Eisenhower barred
distribution of any of the $4,000
pounds of us. U-235 to the Soviet
Union and its satellites, as well as
to any other nations presently
producing the material.
Half the supply, $4,000 pounds,
will be leased in the United States
for civilian purposes, principally
for power reactors," Eisenhower
said in a statement at his vacation

Army Clears General
For Speech Favoring
Racial Segregation

WASHINGTON, R-The Army
announced a finding today that
Maj. Gen. Eugene Caffey, its
judge advocate general, was Gin
judicious" but violated no law or
regulation in publicly praising a
Georgia congressman's speech
favoring racial segregation.
The finding was the outcome Of
formal investigation by the
Army inspector general, Maj.
Gen. David Ogden, into remarks
made by Caffey on Jan. 80 to the
Georgia legislature.
The Army said that its inquiry
showed that Caffey's "exact
words were ambiguous and sus-
ceptible to an inference that he
was endorsing views favorable to
racial segregation"
Caffey, who native of Deca-
tur, Ga, alluded in his speech to
an earlier address to the Georgia
lawmakers by Rep. Flynt D-GD.
Caffey then said:
eff l were going to make a
speech l would hope to make one
like that"
In his address, Flynt had APP
pealed to Georgians to join the
interposition movement by which
some southerners hope to pre-
serve school segregation in the
south.
