By the Associated Press

The argument over American
involvement in World War II
continued today with former
Senator Burton K. Wheeler
charging that q secret agree
ment existed between United
States and British military lead
ers long before Pearl Harbor.
Senator Wheeler called on
Secretary of State Dulles yester-
day to disclose what he called
"the agreement between our
chiefs Of staff and the British
chiefs Of staff that we would en-
ter the war against Germany in
the early part Of 1912"
Mr.. Wheeler said the agree
ment was drawn largely by re-
tired Gen. Albert c. Weddfneyer,
and approved by President
Roosevelt's assistant Harry Hop
kins. He said he understood
that part Of the agreement was
that after we had beaten the
Germans. the British would join
the United States in q war
against Japan"
Mr.. hopkins is now dead. Gen
Wedemeyer could not be reached
for comment. Neither could Mr.
Dulles. who Is mentioning.

here, he wrote Mr.. Dulles to pro-
test publication by the State
Department last week Of q vol
ume Of captured German docu-
ments. The volume included
reports to Berlin from the
German Embassy here which
Mr.. Wheeler said served only
TO mislead people as to the

He urged Mr.. Dulles to make
full and complete disclosure Of
the activities of the Russians,
British. French and American
interventionist groups who were
successful in their efforts to in
volve US in the war. and added:
Il think the postwar record
Of the Russians has amply DEM

ILLINOIS FAILS TO
EXTRADITE HER
Woman Wins
Freedom In
Mississippi

JACKSON, MISS,-(ANP)-In-
dictated in Chicago for the fatal
stabbing of Edward Kelly last
September, a Negro woman was
freed on $500 bond after the
State of Illinois failed to follow
UP their earlier request for her
extradition.
Mrs. Annie Laurie O'Neill, who
was arrested in Columbia May ~
on federal charges Of fleeing from
Justice, was originally placed in
Kinds County Jail without bond.
Federal authorities in Jackson
released custody of Mrs. ONelli
earlier this week so Gov. J. p.
Coleman could extradite her il he
wished.
She was still being held on Illi-
nois charges that she fatally stab
bed Edward Kelly in Chicago
last September.
Jesse Stennis, executive coun-
sci for Gov. Coleman, reported
earlier this week that request
for extradition by the illinois
governor had not been followed
up IN a hearing on the matter
in mid-July.
No further action has been TAX
en- by Illinois state authorities on
the extradition request, Stennis
said.
Meanwhile, Robert Nichols Jr.,
district attorney IN Jackson, SET
the Mrs. O'Neill's bond at $500
because Illinois had not backed
UP their extradition request.
The bond was posted and she
was released.

Arlington Victory May Bring
Other NAACP Suits in Virginia

RICHMOND, Va. - (ANP) -
In keeping with the Arlington
County desegregation decree,
NAACP lawyers are expected to
file suits soon to end racial seq
regation in other Northern Vir-
ginia communities.
Edwin c. Brown, Alexandria
counsel for the NAACP, said he
planned to write the school boards
of Alexandria, Fairfax, Loudoun,
Front Royal and other commune
ties in the northern part of the
state asking what plans they are
making to desegregate.
II shouldn't think we would
have TO file any more suits in this
area" Brown said in comment
ing on last weeks ruling by Fed
eral Judge Albert V. Bryan in
Alexandria.
Conditions in other sections Of
Northern Virginia are similar to
Arlington, and the Arlington de-
cision clearly points the way to
what must be DONE" Brown add
ed.
Judge Bryan ordered that ra-
cial barriers be removed in the
elementary schools of Arlington
County by the beginning of the
second semester next year, and
that Negro children be permit
ted to enroll in the Junior and
senior high schools by Septem-
Der, 1857.
This decision was made as the
result of suit brought against
the Arlington County Board of
Education and the school super
intendent Edward Rutter, by sew
eral colored and white parents in
behalf of their children.
Judge Bryant struck down the
assertion of school board lawyers
that the plaintiffs had not ex-
hauSted remedies available to
them and, as a result, the suit
Wss premature.
He also set aside the claim that
the school board could not be
sued since it is an arm of the
state.
