n strong denuncIation of the
"Neanderthalism."
The Minneapolis TRIBUNE,
while not as sharp and caustic in
its condemnation of a state trying
To cook a scheme TO violate the
Constitution was nevertheless dis
dainful of the proposed ruse a
gainst segregation,
The PIONEER PRESS said:
The people of Virginia have
voted about two TO one TO circum-
vent the Supreme court desegre.
cation decision by changing the
name of their public schools for
white children. They will become
private schools in name while re-
naming public in fact.
ANY white child will be eligible
to 20 to these private schools the
same as he now goes to the pub
lie school. The costs viii be stood
by the taxpayers the same as now,
but under different wording. The
Negro children presumably viii
continue to go to the public
schools they now attend. What the
Virginia voters did Monday, was
TO approve the calling OF con-
stitutional convention to take the
first legal step toward bringing
about this fantastic result.
The question at once arises
whether the federal Constitution
can be no flagrantly flouted. II
would seem that II the constitu-
tional rights of Negroes are in
vaded by their segregation in
schools, they are also invaded
when they are compelled to pay
taxes for the private education Of
a group from which they are ex-
cluded just because their skin Is
or uifferent color.
Where Virginia leads, other
southern states win follow and we
may soon be seeing the spectacle
of a considerable section of the
country trying TO make a fool of
the Supreme court and the Const-
tuition. but succeeding rather in
making n fool Of itself
Educational standards in the
deep South are generally low, but
II would be a miracle even so II
they can be maintained under the
contemplated administrative mon
strosity. The backward South.
which boasts that II now is NOV
ing forward. will turn backward
again.
The ones that will suffer will
be the children, who thus are
spared from sitting beside Ne
groes at the expense Of becoming
race OF semi-illiterates. The par
ents Of Virginia are saying they
would rather have their children
ignoramuses than to let them be
in the same classes as Negroes.

MIAMI BEACH, Feb. H.
The AFL-CIO Executive council
said today that Israel could con-
tribute to peace in the Middle
East by supplying q substantial
part Of q $500 million fund to
relocate refugee Arabs.
The labor leaders added that
the situation In the Middle East
had deteriorated as o result Of

"The free world must thwart

Five principles. the council
said. should govern United Ma

To achieve this goal. the

out in dividends to the common
stockholders.
Mr.. Berman said, This has
been our pilot case to establish
that the dividend distributions
were violations of the charters"
Hinges on Appeal
Mr.. Berman, who is on the
staff of the FILA general counsel,
has been handling the windfall
cases in that Office. The general
counsel is Robert B. Wolf of
Philadelphia, who assumed the
post a week ago.
Mr.. Berman said that If the
Governments position is upheld
on appeal, not only would addi-
tional suits be brought but he
expected that corporations which
had distributed windfall profits
would come in with settlement
proposals.
Windfall profits in the rental
housing program under Section
sos of the Housing Act, have
been estimated at many millions
of dollars. Those corporations
which built projects for less than
the insured mortgages but did
not distribute the sums to hold
ers Of the common stock are
not under attack.
Mr.. Wolf. reached at SIAM
ford, Conn.,. by telephone, pointed
out that FILA is not asking that
any Of the windfall profits shall
be paid back to the Government
because no money was paid out
by the Government.
"FHA's purpose in wanting
distributed windfalls returned to
the corporations" he explained,
lis to make more certain that
the corporation can meet its reg
ular mortgage payments, and
weather any economic problems
It may encounter in the future.
IF windfall profits are kept in
the name of the corporation,
there will be less chance that
the mortgages will be defaulted
and thus less chance Of any me-

The Shirley-Duke Apartments,

at a cost of $762, 654 less than its

was put up for $1,879.937 less
than the loan.
Judge Bryan's Opinion
Judge Bryan said in his
opinion:
"The full proceeds Of the loans
had been received by the corpo-
rations, and soon after the COM
pletion of the projects the corpo-
rations dispersed these remain
ing monies-the difference be-
tween the actual cost Of the
projects and the insured loans
to their stockholders as divi-
dends. These differences were
made apparently available for
dividends by carrying the monies
into surplus ..
1.-THE Federal Housing Com
missioner, being of the opinion
that the corporation charters
prohibited the payment Of divi-
dends out of any funds or as
sets except earnings, formally
declared the instant appropria-
lions violations Of the charters.
The court concurs-the insured
monies were not available for
dividends"
Judge Bryan also noted that

Wasted Lesson

AS japanese war planes began drop
ping their bombs and torpedoeS on Pearl
Harbor Is years ago today, small bon
fire famed up in the yard of the Japanese
consulate in nearby Honolulu. Consul
General Nagao Kita, who also was
master spy, was burning code books and
a mass of discriminating coded messages
that had passed between him and For
eign Minister Togo in Tokyo few days
prior to the Japanese attack. An Ameri-
can guard at the consulate rushed into
the yard and grabbed code book and a
bundle of papers, still unchanged. The
messages, decided and read by the FBI
after the attack, were tipon of the
planned bombardment Of the fieet-but
the tipoff had come too late. Why did
not the FBI intercept these vital commu-
nications, in view of the critical nature
Of our relations with Japan?
The reason is given by Don White
head in his new book, 1.-THE FBI Story"
in chapter titled Espionage, Limited"
The title is apt, because our intelligence
forces were limited in what they could do,
while Japanese spies were going about
their business with amazing freedom.
The book discloSes that efforts of the FBI
to obtain access to communications re-
ceived and sent by the Japanese consul
over regular cable and radiotelephone
circuits were blocked by the Federal
Communications Commission, which
ruled that the law against interception
and divulgence Of communications barred
FBI inspection of the messages. So Tokyo
was able. undetected, to send the consul
instructions for listing American war
ships in Pearl Harbor. for signaling to
Japanese submarines from certain hill
and otherwise to prepare the way for the
surprise assault. Significantly, the consul
was ordered to discontinue the spying and
signaling on December g. FBI Agent
ShiverS later testified that access to the
messages would have revealed the Jap
anese intention to launch an attack on
the feet on December 7.
Mr.. Whiteheads book Ito be pub
lished serially in The Star beginning
January u also makes 1t clear that we
have failed to profit by the lesson learned
at Pearl Harbor. For the 1884 law which
thwarted the FB1 from learning Of the
impending Japanese attack still exists
and the Federal courts still bar the use Of
intercepted messages in the prosecution
OF known spies.
