WASHINGTON, D. c., July O.
(DSN)-In spite of an eloquent
and impassioned plea by Negro
Congressman William L. Dawson
CT Illinois, who is also vice chair
man of the Democratic National
Committee, against the adding of
the anti-segregation rider to the
bill for Federal aid to schools dur
ing House debate earlier in the
week, when the controversial rider
was added, the bill was killed by
a vote of 224 to 1874 in the House
Thursday.
The call for the addition of the
anti-segregation rider to the bill,
aimed primarily at increasing the
number of the nations classrooms
was made by Negro Congressman
Adam Clayton Powell, Democrat of
New York.
The Powell amendment would
deny any share in the school aid
funds to those states not comply
ing with the Supreme Courts
school desegregation decision.

NEGRO STUDENT ELECTED PRES.
OF STUDENT BODY AT UCLA

Students at the University of
California at Los Angeles have
raised a Negro to their highest
elective office: the student body
presidency.
This event, when viewed against
the general unrest over desegre-
CATION in many other schools in the
country, is viewed as an event Of
real Importance. UCLA is one of
the largest and most widely known
schools on the West Coast with a
l4,794 total enrolment. How many
of this number are Negroes Is un-
known since no breakdown by race
is recorded by the school.
At UCLA, however, the fact that

on the families of the youth many
of their longtime friends and ac-
quaintances point to the fact that
many years ago an uncle of his
who showed the same tendencies
was placed in an institution for
treatment.
These observers also point out
that advances both in the field of
medicine, psychiatry, and psychol-
ogy in recent years may we'll SUBJ
stantiate their opinion in regard to
the youths case.
The observers are firm in ex-
pressing the opinion that the
youths action was the result of
illness and not criminal.
Meanwhile, in accordance with
state law in cases Of rape, the
youth is still being held in Jail
without bond to await trial.
No date for the trial has been
set.
