was on February rs, 1852, and
the last on March Is, 1855.
Specifically the indictment
charged Payne embezzled the
money from the United States
The sums the jury found Payne
guilty of embezzling represented
the difference between amounts
he allegedly received from the
hospitals out-patient depart
Iment and sums actually turned
over by him to be placed in the
United States Treasury.
Acquitted in Stealing
The jury acquitted Payne of
companion counts in the indict-
Iment which accused him of
stealing the money. The jury
had been given the alternatives
of finding Payne guilty either of
Iembezzlement or theft or not
guilty.
At the time Payne was in
dicted last February 6, Assistant
United States Attorney Alfred L.
Hartman. who prosecuted Payne,
said it had been revealed there
had been an overall shortage
of funds at the hospital of "at
least $77,000."
Payne was discharged from his
job at the hospital last August
on a charge of improper per-
Torrance of official duties.

A powerful plea that the Fed
eral Government take immediate
steps-if necessary, change the
rules of procedure in Congress
to force the South to comply
with the Supreme Court decision
on school indignation was made
here last night by Howard Uni
versity educators in an exhaus-
tive desegregation manifesto.

described by observers a S
thorough" honest" and Ito
the point" said President Eisen-
hover must clearly and I'M
equivocally employ j.. tn e
prestige of his Office to
guarantee compliance" with the
ruling.
The statement, compiled and
presented by the division of
social sciences of the university
included a history of race pref
udice in America. 1t called on
Congress Ito perform its consti-
tutional duty" with regard to the
school issue or face change.
In the event it does not COM

The division presented the pa
per at the opening of its annual
three day conference. The sub
ject is The Impact of Desegre-
cation Upon American Life"
In an effort to prod the Gov
eminent into taking more &C
tive role in integrating public
schools throughout the Nation,
the report urged that Federal
funds for education be with
held from school districts which
do not work with all deliberate
speed" towards desegregation.
1t called for establishment of
an adequately stated civil rights
division in the Justice Depart
ment and IAN extension of Fed
eral law to prevent civil rights
violations through civil-as dis
tinct from criminal-proceed-
ings."
Those steps, the educators
held, should be seen to by the
