to have Mr.. Hall run for Gov
ernor in 1858 against Gov. Aver
ell Hartman, Democrat. 1t is
believed that Mr.. Hall himself
will fall in with the proposal
that he become a candidate.
The New York governorship
will be the great prize for which
both Republicans and Democrats
will strive in 1858. as an omen
of victory in the national elec-
tons of 1860.
Outstanding Job
Whether the Republicans will
turn to the West or to the East
for their new chairman remains
to be seen. Mr.. Bliss has done
an outstanding job Of organiza-

Mr.. Almond and Mr.. Moore
cited a November opinion by the
Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals
in which the North Carolina
pupil placement law withstood
its first legal test. The appeals
court held that students involved
in that case had not exhausted
their administrative remedies by
applying for assignment under
North Cardinals new placement
law.
Virginia Law Differs
The North Carolina program,
however, differs from Virginia s

Israel, also acutely aware Of

The nominating committee and

outside of this list for a chair
man. The final decision custo-
marty lies with the President,
liz he cares to exercise this
power. 1t is certain that the new
chairman must be acceptable to
the President in any event.
The Presidents press secre-
tary, James C. Hagerty, told re-
porters that the nominating
committee would meet with the
President January %, at an
early morning conference. Its
report will be submitted to the
national committee the same
day and a new chairman elected.
The Presidents statement re-
garding Mr.. Hall follows;
Leonard w. Hall has just
Informed me that he plans to
resign as chairman Of the Re-
publican National Committee.
Naturally. I sincerely regret
his decision for I have valued
highly his wise political advice
and party leadership. But !
must accept his decision, no
matter how reluctant l may be
to do SO.
Leonard Hall has been a
great chairman. Under his guild
ance and direction, the Repub-
lican Party organization has
been revitalized and reorganized.
Today, largely through his eff
forts, the party is attracting
many thousands Of new sup
porters. particularly from the
younger voters Of our Nation.
"Mr. Hall tells me he is going
to take a much-needed vacation.
/ sincerely hope that his wisdom
and his long years of experience
as a legislator. Judge and chair
man, will continue to be avail
able not only to the party but
to the Nation in the years
ahead"
Four Exciting Years
Mr.. Hall in his telegram to
the committee members said,

In an informal gathering at
the Republican headquarters, Mr.
Hall told the staff of the ma
tional committee his decision to
resign and wished the best to
all of you, you are a great group"
Members of the staff expressed
their regret.
Mr. Hall decided to tender
his resignation soon after the
election.
Stuck to Predictions
He kept alive Republican
hopes that the President would
run for a second term, after the
President suffered his heart at
tack in September. 1855. When
nearly all the Republicans feared
the President would bow out Mr..
Hall insisted "the President will
run if he is able" He stuck to it,
and in February MIR. Eisenhower
announced he felt himself re-
covered and would stand for re-
election. Later, when the Presi-
dent underwent an operation for
ileitls, Mr.. Hall again predicted
the President would regain his
health and be a candidate. The
national chairman also predicted
that the ticket would be Eisen-
hover and Nixon. and from that
he never varied.

First Test of New Laws
Today's decision was the first
in a school segregation case in
volving Virginia's new legislative
program to preserve racially sep
arated schools.

matured before the States new
school laws took effect. No at
tempt was made by the State to
use the new legislative program
as grounds for dismissal of the
Arlington and Charlottesville
cases. Opinions directing these
two communities to desegregate
we're handed down originally last
August. and they were upheld
by the Fourth Circuit Court Of
Appeals December 81.
In the Norfolk and Newport
News cases. however, the State
used the same technical argu-
ments put forth in the Arlington
and Charlottesville cases--plus
the existence of new State laws
to deal with the Supreme Court
segregation decision.
2 Counts Refuse Dismissal
Since the lower courts and
the appeals court both had re-
fused to dismiss the Arlington
and Charlottesville cases on
technical grounds. it was clear
Judge Hoffman would refuse to
dismiss the Norfolk and New
port News cases on the same
grounds. The big question. there
fore, was whether he would slap
down Vlrginia's new legislative
program-including the pupil
assignment plan-which became
effective December 20.
Attorneys for the National
Association for the Advance
menC of Colored People had
argued at the November hear
ing that the new pupil assign
ment law was unconstitutional
on its face. They commended
that when the pupil assignment
law was considered with other
Virginia laws to preserve school
segregation 1t could not be con-
sidered valid.
AThe pupil assignment legis-
lation provides for placement
of pupils in schools by the three
member State board. Assign
'ments are to be made for q
variety of reasons other than
race. Other legislation adopted
at the same special session Of
the General Assembly, how
ever, provides for the closing of
any integrated schools, and the
ultimate withholding of state
funds for any schools where
races are mixed.
The NAACP argued. therefore,
that it was futile even to try
the new pupil assignment law.
since 1t appeared impossible in
the light of other laws for a
Negro student to win assign
ment to school of his or her
choice

ST Business Failures
Double In Five Years

WASHINGTON, D. C.-According
to the DEMOCRATIC DIGEST, bust
ness failures in 1857 are almost
double those of five years ago. Some
10,364 businesses failed in the first
nine months of 1872 per cent
more than in the same period of 1856.
Casualties in September were high
er than in any September since 1888,
and economists predict that 1857 will
bring the greatest number of business
failures since the depression.
The rate of failure in 1857 now
stands at SIS per 10000 enterprises,
compared with 48 in 1856 and almost
double the 28.7 rate of 1862.

charged that the department and the
International Oil Cartel concerns are
getting together secretly on plan to
settle this court case by consent
decree, which would whitewash past
and present antitrust sins in return
for promise to do less SHINING in the
future.
eff consent DEGREES are consum-
mated with Standard of New Jersey
and Gulf" O'Mahoney said in letter
to the Justice Department, ''the con-
sequence will be that whole phases
of the oil industry will be excluded
as issues in this case. Such settle
ment would include legal clearances
for practices of these companies
abroad. Is the Justice Department
willing to sign contract decree by
which the defendants in the oil cartel
case will be permitted to participate"
in practices which have been charged
to be violations of the antitrust
LAVISH O'Mahoney asked.
HITS SECRECY
He then assaulted the departments
contention that settlement of the case
must be negotiated secretly with the
oil companies, because coil production
arrangements by American companies
in foreign countries raise questions of
national security and foreign policy"
81 am not aware" O'Mahoney told
the department, "of any statutory
authority either in the antitrust
laws or any other laws passed by
Congress-which permits any con-
sideration to be given to foreign pol
icy or national security in enforce
ment of the antitrust laws, except in
declared periods of national emegen-
cy.
''In this international oil cartel
case, we are not dealing with temp
orary national emergency during
which waiver of the antitrust laws
might be justified" O'Mahoney add
ed. "The disposition of this case will
set pattern which will be followed
by other American companies operat-
ing abroad, if the Justice Department

Almost everyone has heard of the
expression "railroaded to jail''. Now
Senator Joseph C. O'Mahoney ID
Wyo.) points out a new version of
that saying. He charges that the JUS
tice Department is steering Big Bust
ness law violators past Jail doors, by
means of railroad release procedure"
in consent degrees. The story boils
down to this:
O'Mahoney heads a Senate Anti
Trust Committee which investigated
the international Oil Cartel". 1t I'M
covered detailed evidence that the
antitrust laws are being violated by
the Arabian-American Oil Company
(Aramco) and the four giant U. S.
oil corporations which own that con-
Germ, which has fabulously valuable
oil concessions in Saudi Arabia.
The O'Mahoney committee sent
those findings to the Justice Depart
ment, with a recommendation that
the latter take appropriate action
under the antitrust laws. The depart
ment then told O'Mahoney that some
of these matters care involved in the
pending International Oil Cartel
case", in which the government is
suing Standard Oil of New Jersey
and Gulf Oil, two of the owners of
