test.
They have not yet been tried
in City Court and their petition
for action in tn Federal courts
has not been set for hearing.
In yesterdays action, the COM
mission declared that segregated
seating on buses for whites and
Negroes is necessary for the
avoidance of friction, enmity

mission said, lis not necessary
