1t was regarded in an even

Carter, NAACP assistant special
counsel, declared the Supreme
Court made it clear beyond
question that racial segregation

forced pursuant to governmental
authority in any area of Ameri-

Mr.. Carter claimed that the

afraid of an unfriendly act by
some nation controlling the
canal.
In other words. the canal
should not be under national
control-specifically Egypt's con-
trol-but should be controlled
and operated by a nonpolitical
business group. There would be
