Reds Ask Ban
On Segregation

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Mar. IA R.-The Soviet Union
sponsored a proposal yesterday
for an international agreement
banning racial or other dis
Termination in education.
Russian representatives cir
culated a resolution by which
the U. N. Commission on Human
Rights would ask a subcommis-
sion to draw up such an agree
Iment within a year. 80
The proposed agreement would
Iprohibit discrimination in edu-
cation on grounds of race. color,
sex, language, religion. political
or other beliefs. national or
social origin, property or other
status"
It noted that a similar pro-
Iposal was submitted to the SUBJ
commission in January. That
proposal was made in a special
report on discrimination in edu-
cation prepared by Charles D.
Ammoun of Lebanon. It was
shelved, and Mr.. Ammoun was
asked to draft a further report.
P. D. Morozov, Soviet delegate
to the commission. said the Rus
sian resolution was not aimed
particularly at race segregation
lin southern United States schools.
| He said that is q domestic affair
of the United States. though he
personally opposed all discrimi-
nation.
The Soviet move nevertheless
was expected to oblige the
United States to say something
about segregation in a presi-
Dental election year.
It also seemed likely to oblige
the United States to stress again
its stand against signing any
such international conventions
in contrast to the Soviet Unions
willingness to sign them. The
United States argument is that
human rights can be promoted
better in other ways.

BY q star stan Correspondent


RICHMOND, Aug. ga bill
to place the Fairfax Trial JUS

the jurisdiction of the Circuit
Court clerk was to be introduced
in the General Assembly today.
Senator John A. K. Donovan
of Fairfax said he would request

the Governor or those offered
under the unanimous consent

van bill.
| The lawmaker said his bill
had been requested by the judges
of both courts as we'll as by
Thomas P. Chapman. jr., clerk
Of the Circuit Court. The objec-
tive is to make the work of the
lower court more uniform with
that Of the Circuit Court, Mr..
Donovan said. Arlington already
has combined its court clerks

Court Will Hold
Rehearinlg on
Area B. Case
Riley Condemnation
To Be Reviewed
On U. S. Petition
BY WILLIAM G. POLLARD

I
The United States Court OF
Appeals has agreed to. hold a
re-hearing by the fun nine
member court in the Mayme
j. Riley land condemnation case
in Washington's Southwest Re-
development area. No date was
set for the re-hearing.
In a 2-to-1 ruling May II, the
Court of Appeals had set aside as
too low a $1,000 condemnation
award on a house in the Area
B" redevelopment project, which
Miss Riley had bought in 1851
for $9,950.
Charge Violation of Precedent
On June l, Justice Department
attorneys filed a petition in be-
half of the District of Columbia
Redevelopment Land Ag gency
contending the appellate court
in its May ruling had violated
all precedent" in claiming au-
thority to review the evidence
and credibility OF expert wit
nesses" heard by a condemna-
ton jury.
The Government petition for
a rehearing also charged that
the May ruling implied the
novel view" that homeowners
situated like Miss Riley, must be
defended by the court as well as
by their attorneys.
The May II decision did not
hold that the RLA's condemna-
ton price should equal the full
$9,950. However, the decision did
question the sharp difference. be-
tween the price and the award
and said the lower court should
have given it more scrutiny. 1t
also said that the Government
had failed to adequately contest
evidence in favor of a higher
award.
Cites Rights of Jury of Experts
The Justice Department peti-
ton had put particular stress, on
its charge that the Court of Ap-
peals in its May decision invaded
the rights of the condemnation
jury in "reweighing" evidence.
The Government petition said a
primary reason justifying a re-
view of the case by the entire
lnine-member court was to settle
the issue for the cases of persons
similarly situated to Miss Riley"
The Government petition for
la re-hearing also said that as
the decision stood it could have
far reaching consequences on
Iredevelopment. public housing
and numerous other land ac-
QUESTION programs.
The appellate court decision
to re-hear the case was made
known in a short order handed
down by the court and filed in
the Court of Appeals clerks Of
flee.
The short appellate court
order granting the rehearing
said three of the courts judges
were in favor of denying the
Irehearing These included Judge
E. Barrett Prettyman, who wrote
the May opinion; Judge Wilbur
K. Miller. who concurred in the
May opinion, and Judge John A.
Danaher.
