Negro Use Of Pool
In Florida Upheld

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 20 up.
The United States Circuit
Court of Appeals yesterday up
held Federal district court rul-
ing that Negroes must be per-
mitted to use the municipal
beach and swimming pool in st.
Petersburg, Fla, on the same
basis as white citizens.
The district court had en-
Joined the city and recreation
director Jack Puryear from re-
fusing to allow Negroes to use
the facilities.
The city appealed and claimed
that opening the pool and beach
to Negroes would end white
patronage and the city would be
forced to close it because of in
sufficient funds.
The appeals court ruled the
financial loss cannot justify il
legal operation" and "unfortun-
ate as closing the pool may be,
that furnishes no ground for
abridging the rights Of the APP
pellees (Negroes) to its use with
out discrimination on the ground
of race so long as 1t is operated. ("

Arguments Due
In Negro Suit
Against u.

ATLANTA. Ca. Dec. 20 (R.-
Attorneys were ready to begin
their closing arguments in Fed
eral Court today in a Negroes
suit for admission to the all
white University Of Georgia Law
School. 1t is the first court test
o fthe Georgia University sys-
TENS segregation practices.
Attorneys for Horace Ward,
29-year-old former Albanian,
maintained during the first three
days Of the trial that he was
turned down because Of his race.
State witnesses testified that
the fact that Mr.. Ward was a
Negro was not considered and
said he was refused admission
because he did not have the re-
quired college credits.
Mr.. Ward holds M. A. and B.
A. degrees from Atlanta Negro
Colleges and at present is a law
student at Northwestern Uni
versity in Evanston. Ill.
; Possible Rulings Given
United States District Court
Judge Frank A. Hooper, who is
hearing the case without a jury.
indicated yesterday after both
sides completed testimony that
his decision would take one of
three courses.
He would either return Mr..
Wards application to the uni
versity system board of regents
for consideration as the situa-
ton was in September, 1850,
when Mr.. Ward first applied
for admission; return it for
consideration as 1t was in 1851,
when Mr.. Ward was rejected;
or return 1t for consideration
as If Mr.. Ward were seeking
clJTdIlce next 1all.
The question Of Mr.. Wards
eligibility doomed large In the
proceedings. DR.. Harmon w.
Caldwell, chancellor of the uni
versity system, testified he would
rule any qualified Negro ap-
plicant eligible for admission to
a State-operated white college.
Racial Ban Is Denied
But university officials said Mr..
War ddid not meet entrance re-
quirements. Registrar Walter
Danner testified the two Atlanta
Negro colleges from which Mr..
Ward holds degrees were not
members Of the Southern Asso-
citation of Colleges and Second
airy Schools.
Both Charles j. Bloch, q
Georgia university system regent,
and Frank D. Foley, q former re-
gent. testified that Mr.. Ward was
not denied admission because he
was a Negro.

Washington has an authorized

Korrick Urges Pay Boost
Of 30qo for City Heads

District Commissioner David
B. Karrick. newest member OF
the Board, last night proposed a
30 per cent pay raise for himself
and his fellow Commissioners.
1T is my unbiased opinion that
the salary is not adequate COM
pcnsation for the Office" he told
the radio audience of Report
to the People broadcast over
Station WWDC last night,
Mr. Karrick recommended the
present salary Of $l4,620 a yeal
should be boosted to S2l 900 oil
Sells annually.
Later, Mr., Karrick said in re-
ply to a question that he would
, recommend the proposed pay
hike to Congress. A pending bill
introduced III Congress last yeaI
would raise salaries Of District
Commissioners to $4,000 a year
Mr., Karrick prefaCed his sur
prise proposal with the comment
that he has been told his fellow
commissioners in the past felt
degree OF hesitation and mod
esty in bringing this matter tc
the attention of the public ano
I. :" Congress. Il feel con-
strained by no such hesitation
or modesty," he said,
He described the proposed pay
raise as my personal idea as

individual without the support
or approval of my associates
on the Board of Commissioners.

Hints nave been MADE recent
~ about work in this field be-
fore congressional appropria-
tons committees, but official
word of partial success from
NH has not come until now.
DR.. Robert R. Smith of the
National Institute of Cancer,
who is collaborating with Dr
Robert j. Heubner of the Ma
tional Institute of Allergy and
Infectious Diseases, declared
that if work proceeds as ex-
pected sit will open a new field

a lot of ballyhoo which might
set experimental work back"
Thirty-two patients are being
treated with the apo viruses at
the Clinical Center at NH in
Bethesda. Some SGT 900 has been
spent during the past year for
the research. These viruses are
the adenoidal. pharyngeal and
conjunctival group.
A recent paper by the NH
researchers points out that the
problem has been defined rather
than solved
The viruseS themselves are rel
atively benign. They cause fever
but are not dangerous and do
not attack nervous tissue. Sur
veys indicate that most of the
population becomes infected with
the viruses during childhood and
that explains the presence of
antibodies in the blood.
Among older persons, however,
the antibody level for those
viruses is relatively low.

What happened?
/. Damage was shown to the
tumor at the site of the injec.
ton in the cervical cancer patient
who has few antibodies to the
virus.
2. In no instance, however, was
there complete destruction of the
cancer.
3. No effect was seen on normal
tissues.
A big problem was noted: The
virus had no effect on cancer
in patients who had antibodies
to the viruses. And, it was tenn
porary in effect in patients SEN
sitive to the virus because anti
bodies were developed swiftly.
Work will continue in two
main fields. There is a need to
produce large quantities of the
viruSes and to concentrate their
action. This must be done to
attack the cancer before immun-
ity occurs.
Methods must be developed to
suppress antibody production to
prolong the effects of the viruses.
Better cells must be found for
growing the apo viruses.
Cortisone has been tried in an
attempt to curtail the body's
production of antibodies. Large
doses. it was found. apparently
increased the destruction of can
Ger cells. but did not prevent or
delay the antibody formation.

The two other board members,
Robert E. Mclaughlin, board
president. and Gen. Thomas A.

Star. said Mr.. Karrick's proposal
was a surprise to them.
Mr. Mclaughlin commented,
II wouldn't oppose the idea. 1t
would make life a lot easier"
Gen. Lane said he has no
fixed opinion or stand on the
pay increase idea.
Mr.. Karrick, who could be de-
scribed as being wealthy, told
his audience that before taking

did so to avoid any conflict of
interests, he said.
The new Commissioner said
in general he favors private
ownership of public transit sys-
tens. He added that a CITY,
operated transit system prob
ably would be necessary for
Washington at least temporarily

capital might be- attracted later

New CTC Bill
Gains Support
Chance for Adoption
In Senate Seen
BY HECTOR Mclean

/ Disclosure OF the terms Of a
new bill to restore the franchise
of Capital Transit Company yes
terday radically upset political
speculation that such a measure
could never get through the
Senate.
Observers have heretofore CAL
culated that the Senate-and
particularly the Senate District
Committee-would never agree
to restore the etc franchise
while the company remained
under the control of Louis E
Wolfson, Florida multimillion-
aire.
Yesterday. however, they were
seriously hedging their bets after
the major retreat made Friday
by CTC President j. A. B, Broad
water in agreeing to accept a
bill approved in principle by the
Transportation subcommittee of
the House Interstate and Foreign
Commerce Committee.
House Action Sought
And at least two members of
the Senate District Committee
Senators Bible, Democrat of
Nevada, and Hruska, Republican
OF NebraSka-Said they wanted
to see the measure drafted by
the House subcommittee, and
what the House might do with it.
Sometime this week, the SEN
ate District Committee will con-
slider a Numerically opposed
measure which would set up a
publicly owned Washington Met
ropolitan Transit Authority to
take over the transit system
when, under present law, it is
scheduled to die next August IA.
Yesterday, a final draft-ex-
cept for one Section-of the re-
storation bill was released by
Representative Harris, Democrat
OF Arkansas. He is chairman of
the subcommittee which, after
lots Of head humping" worked
out the deal with Mr.. Broad
water.
Mr.. Harris said the completed
measure will be considered for
mally by his subcommittee at

Something close to open war

So far all efforts to soothe the

still hope. Miss Kelly, who was
not at all upset by the incident,
