Truman Questioned
On Red Job Holders

Representative Scherer. Re-
publican of Ohio, has asked for
mer President Truman whether
you do not feel the time has
come for you to change your
position" on the Communist
menace inside the United States.
Mr.. Scherer, a member of the
House Committee on Un-Amer-
lean Activities, made public a
letter he wrote to Mr.. Truman
dated March /. In it he referred
to just-concluded committee
hearings and to what he termed
past Truman Statements that
there we're no Communists in
Government" =
The committee heard testi-
mony that Communists were
employed in various Government
Offices.
In independence. Mo, Mr..
Truman said he hadn't received

featured under United States
contract for North Atlantic
Treaty ORGANIZATION forces.
State Department officials
willssay only that France raised
with the United States the ques-
ton whether IL of the planes
might be withdrawn from sched-
uled delivery under the United
States contract. The United
States agreed.
French authorities here, and
presumably those in Paris, con-
strued the American approval as
covering not only diversion OF
the aircraft from NATO deliv-
cries but also their sale and de-
livery to Israel.
The United States position is
that the sale to Israel tech
nically has not been approved
because France has not raised
the question, and that what
France does with the planes is
her own business.
The problem is a difficult one
for France. There are strong
pro-Israeli influences bearing on
the French government as on
the United States Government.
At the same time France has
been trying since last fall to-
improve its relations with Egypt
in order to obtain Egyptian CO.
operation in cutting down trou-
bles with the Arabs in French
sections of North Africa.
The United States also is
counting Arab goodwill at the
present time. with the thought
that Israel's security in the long
run can best be assured by max
ing peace in Palestine. Mean
while, it continues to delay a
decision on ISrael's request to
buy $64 million worth of arms
in this country.
In renewing his suggestion,
Mr.. Eisenhower is understood
to contend that practical steps
toward disarmament offer one
of the best prospects for i'm
proving East-West relations.
Other efforts toward disarma-
ment have stalled on Russian
insistence for a ban on all
nuclear weapons and United
States insistence that such a
ban must be preceded by some
kind of foolproof inspection
plan.

Railroads Get
Freight Boost
By the Associated Press

The Nations railroads had
permission today to boost by 6
per cent the rates they charge
for most freight they haul across
State lines.
In the fastest general rate
increase action on record the
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion yesterday authorized the
increase to become effective
next Wednesday. On many
farm commodities and some
minerals minerals, the ICC or
dered the rate increase held
under 6 per cent.
The same increases were au-
Ithorized also for domestic water
carriers.
The railroads had sought a
fiat 7 per cent rate rise. citing
Increased labor and materials
costs. Seeking quick action,
they had offered to refund the
increased charges if the ICC
found later that they were not
justified.
But the ICC closed the case
late Yesterday with a finding
that a general 6 per cent rate
advance was warranted by.
operating expense increases
amounting to more than $500
million annually" The new
rates are not subject to refund
ing.
Industry officials estimated
the ICC. order would result in
hiking freight billings by about
S423 millions year.
The commission limited to 5
per cent the advance on grains,
fresh meats and pack
ing house products. 1t ruled
that coal and coke freight rates
could not be increased more
than Is cents tons Ignite in
creases were held to 7 cents a
ton.

Attorney Cleared
In Bus Boycott

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Mar.
tP.-The unlawful practice
charge against Fred D. Gray
Negro attorney, was tossed out
of Circuit Court yesterday, but
the way was left open for posi-
BILE Federal prosecution.
Circuit Solicitor William T
Thetford admitted at the outset
of Mr.. Gray's scheduled trial
that the State had no jurisdic-
ton since the anti-integration
suit which resulted in Mr.. Gray
being accused of unlawful prac-
tice was filed in a Federal
building.
The 25-year-old attorney was
indicted on the charge after
filing suit in United States Dis
trict Court challenging constitu-
tionality of the Alabama laws
requiring segregation of the races
on buses.
One of the five Negro women
whom he listed as bringing the
action later said she did not
consent to it. Mr.. Gray said she
did consent.
Mr.. Thetford said he would
bring the facts in the case to
the attention of United States
District Attorney Hartwell Davis
who could file charges against
Mr.. Gray if he sees fit. Mr.
Davis said he has not been off.
cially notified and could not say
whether he will investigate the
case.
Mr.. Gray was indicted two
weeks ago. three days before the
same grand jury returned indict-
ments naming some 100 Negro
leaders for violating Alabama s
anti-boycott law in their protest
against segregated buses. Mr.
Gray has been active in the
boycott.

The situation has been slowly

Aircraft Firm Defends
ST Million Advertising
By the Associated Press

A Chance Vought Aircraft
official yesterday defended the
ST million advertising bought by
the company, which does 99.9
per cent of its business with the
armed services.
Representative Cunningham,
Republican of Iowa, a member
of the House Armed Services
Investigations Subcommittee,
termed such OUTLAWS "abuse OF
the taxpayers money"
But N. V. Turney, controller
of the aircraft manufacturing
company, said the $1,071 200
advertising helped ance
Vought attract the technical
personnel it needed and stimu-
lated public interest in aviation
and the armed services. He said
advertising spending ran to only
fractional percentages of the
Government contracts.
The Dallas. Tex. company
bought the advertising during
the past four years.

u. 5. Expected
To Renew Arms
Check Proposal
By the Associated Pres,

President Eisenhower is ex- :
pected to tell Russia that new !
steps toward disarmament would
do more to ease tensions than a
United States-Soviet mutual
friendship treaty.
The new note, replying to
Russian Premier Bulganin's sec
Iond offer to negotiate a two
nation treaty, is to be dispatched
within the next several days. 1t
was drafted by Mr.. Eisenhower
and Secretary of State Dulles s
before Mr.. Dulles left yesterday
for a To-day tour of the Far ?
East. I
Mr.. Eisenhower quickly res
jected Marshal Bulganin's firstE
proposal. saying among other ]
things that such a treaty would
be little more than a restatement
of aims to which both nations
have subscribed in the United
Nations charter.
The Russian Premier promptly
renewed his proposal, however,
and invited Mr.. Eisenhower's
suggestions for possible treaty
provisions. No formal answer
has yet been dispatched to that
suggestion.
AS drafted, the new United
States note is understood to in
Iclude a new plea for moret
favorable Russian consideration
of Mr.. Eisenhower's "open skies"
plan as a move toward dis
armament.
| Mr.. Eisenhower suggested at
last summers Geneva summit
conference that Russia and the
United States exchange full in
formation on military installa-
lions and that each allow the
other to make aerial inspections
of their territory.
BY such direct checks, Mr..
Eisenhower suggested, each could
ascertain whether a military
buildup toward a possible at
tack was under way, or whether
it might be safe to reduce arma-.
ments. The Russians already
have rejected the idea. 5

Itrict Judge H. Hobart Grooms
Mr.. Marshall asked that the
actions against the four men,
who have now entered suit. be
dropped and that all conspiracy
charges be eliminated.
At that time. Mr.. Marshall
said, After careful investiga-
ton we are unable to produce any
evidence to support these allega-
tionS."
Judge Grooms held that none
of the trustees was in contempt
He ruled that they "acted in
good faith" in barring Miss Lucy
after the riots. He directed
however. that she be returned to
school by Monday.
Within. hours after the Fed
eral Court hearing the trustees
expelled Miss Lucy. They de-
clared that no university could
permit a student to make such
conspiracy charges and remain
undisciplined. The next move
to test the validity of the trus-
tees action is now up to Miss
Lucy and her attorneys.

At a news conference in New
York yesterday, Miss Lucy said
Il am completely disheartened
at the same time, I cannot see
any reason to abandon my sole
purpose of obtaining an educa-
ton within the meaning Of the
decision of the Supreme Court OF
the United States"
Her lips trembled and her
voice quavered as she read a
statement.

what we can do but we will check

contained in a contempt of court
proceeding filed in Federal Court
by Miss Lucy February 9.

of the mob.
Charges Called False
Each now asserts in the civil
damage suit that the charges
were false and known to be
false" and were the result of q
conspiracy by the NAACP and
the others named.
The suits were filed in the
Jefferson County birmingham
Circuit Court and each demanded
q trial before a jury.
Miss Lucy. the first Negro
ever enrolled at the University OF
Alabama, was permanently ex-
PEELED" on disciplinary grounds
by the university's trustees at a
secret meeting Wednesday night.
In New York yesterday, Miss
Lucy said she planned to re-
turn to Alabama next week to
renew her fight to re-enter the
university.
The 26-year-old former school
teacher originally had been sus-
pended by the trustees on Feb
ruary 6 after students and 'out-
Siders" had rioted for three days
protesting the admission of a
Negro to the university.

After the suspension, Miss
Lucy asked the Federal Court
here to cite Is university OFF,

they had conspired to bar her
from the campus by using the
mob action as a cunning
