500 FISK STUDENTS "SlNC
DOWN" NASHVILLE TRUSTEE

reconsider the RempferS to con-
tinue teaching at Fisk, concur
red in by the executive commit
tee of the board, had told an
alumnuS in a letter that "the
Rempfers would not have to be
replaced" although the dismis-
sal had touched off the resign
alton of the physics chairman,
DR.. Nelson FuSon from his duties
in this capacity, and had DOOM
ed the departments of physics
and mathematics, as the stu
dent paper put it, to regradation
and decay. Though no reason
has been given for the Rempfer
dismiSsals,s the fact that they
are highly regarded as teachers
and scholars, coupled with their
prominence in the effort to in
tegrate the Nashville schools
(their children, white, having
petitioned for entry into now
Negro public schools in this
neighborhood-an action which
has gone to court in a partially
successful action aided by the
NAACP and involving the Remp-
fers and ten Negro families.)
Bailey's own role has received
strong student criticism he
being a member of the David
son county board of education
which unanimously adopted the
policy of continued segregation
of the public schools Of the
county when the matter came
before it a little over year ago.
Students have been very crit
ical of the trustee action in dis
missing the Rempfers, alarmed
at the apparent indifference to
the future of FiSk's departments
of mathematics and physics,
which, at the present time have
more Junior and senior under
graduate majors than do the
corresponding departments at
Vanderbilt. Their demonstration
against Mr.. Bailey was SYM
bolic and the elimination Of
much campus concern and un-
rest over the issue.
Following the demonstration,
DR.. John Hope Franklin, alumni
trustee and at present history
chairman of Brook
lyn college, addressed the as
sembled students, chiding them
for their "rudeneSS" to his fel-
low-trustee, Mr.. Bailey. His re-
marks were greeted with a
sprinkling of applause.
The scheduled business of the
(the student demon
Stration came as a complete sur
prise) was the Introduction to
the assembly of the trustees Tin
town for the Spring FeStivaD
and to announce the choice OF
DR.. Wright as Fisk's new presi-
dent. Mr.. Rieser, chairman OF
the board Of trustees, was ap-
plauded when he made the an
DR.. Wright was
not present.
At convocation time it was not
known what df any disposition
of the Rempfer matter had been
made by trustees. Resolutions by
Washington, D. c., and Chicago,
III. alumni, by three hundred
and unanimously by
the mathematics majors, have
urged their retention.

previous day, listened to a STIR

Students Barred From
Meets On Racial Level

ATLANTA, GA Student or
ganizations which invited Georg-
ianS to interracial meetings at
either the state or national level
were banned from Georgia
schools last week by the State
Board of Education.
The resolution on student or
ganizations, proposed by Will
liam Bodenhamer, of Ty Ty,
was amended by James S. Peters,
Of Manchester, to include teach
erS and school administrators.
Although Francis Shurling, Of
Wrightsville,- urged the board
not to be hasty, the resolution
was quickly passed.
AIMED AT YMCA
In presenting his resolution
Bodenhamer first claimed it was
not specifically aimed at any
group, but explained it arose
from plans Of the YMCA to hold
a mixed, nine-state meeting this
summer in Blue Ridge, N. C.
The resolution says that no
student group "given extracur-
ricular status" shall be allowed
to invite Georgia members to
mixed meetings.
Organizations further m ore
shall be required to affirm
(their) intention to comply with
the provisions of this resolution,
and thus pledge not to plan or
allow any racia1ly mixed. meet
ings involving the public school
students of Georgia.
Groups failing to make such
affirmation shall not be allow

for this session of the Maryland
Legislature unless someone can
persuade the powerful House
Ways and Means Committee to
change its mind.
There were two bills before
the committee dealing with driv-

mandatory driving courses in

Montgomery. to qualify high
school driver training courses for

Minority Leader George r.

A roll call vote resulted in an
eight-eight tie. The committee
chairman. House Majority Lead

the deciding vote. He voted to
kill the bills.
Delegate GUIDE is a member

I ak on Widows Annuity
In Virginia Called Error

RICHMOND, Feb. 20 (Spe-
ciaD Virginia Tax Commits
sioner c. H. Morrissett said to-
day that subordinates erred in
stating that an inheritance tax
law applies to anticipated an
Inuities from widows.
Personnel from the Division
Iof Inheritance and Gift Taxes
expressed views prior to the de-
Ivelopment of the full facts" Mr..
Morrissett explained.
His remarks were in regard to
Ia current controversy over an
Arlington tax case. The widow
of a civil service worker, Mrs.
Evelyn r. Bruins. protested to
Delegate HARRISON Mann of Ar
Ilington that the State was ask
ing her to pay an inheritance
tax on anticipated benefits.
Mrs. Bruins, of 5716 North
Eighteenth road, is receiving $l85
a month as the widow of a civil
service employe. She was noti-
fed by State tax officials that,
based on an estimated life ex-
pectancy of Is years, she must
now pay an inheritance levy on
$35,520. This would come to
about $500.
Mrs. Bruins pointed out that
the monthly payments stop upon
either death or remarriage and
therefore she would be paying a
tax on an amount she might
never receive.
Mr.. Mann filed protests with
State officials and promised COR
receive legislation If necessary.
Senator Byrd, Democrat of Vir-
ginia, said today he had gotten
in touch with Mr.. Morrissett be-
cause II knew it had never been
the intention of the State" to
levy an inheritance tax in this
situation.
Senator Byrd said he was as
sured by the tax commissioner
that the controversy apparently
grew out of a subordinate's mis-
understanding of the law.
Today, Mr.. Morrissett said he
wanted to emphasize that there
had not been a reversal by Vir-
ginia on the matter. Mr.. Norris
sett pointed out that he, as tax

official who can make a formal
ruling in such a situation.
He said that he had had no
previous knowledge that the
condition existed" and if "the
taxpayer had brought the mat

would have saved herself a great
deal Of trouble.
Mr.. MorriSsett added that he
had no personal knowledge of
any case where this levy has
been applied. but if anyone has
paid unlawfully" the money will
