NEW YORK, n. Y, Mar. A.
(SpeciaD-W. Wayne Durham, a
Brooklyn Negro scholar who listens
to books on records and takes his
notes in Braille, has made the
deans list at Columbia College.
The 22-year- student, blind
since he was Ia years old, received
grades of B-plus in six courses ir
the winter season of his junior
year. The announcement was made
yesterday by Charles c. Cole, as
sistant dean of the college. Wayne
is sociology major.
He shares a dormitory room
with his four-year-old seeing EYE
dog, Dottie, a German Shepherd,
that has been guiding him around
the Columbia campus since 1854.
On week-ends, Wayne and his
log travel to Brooklyn, where he
lives with his parents at 949 Pros
pect Place. Wayne, who also stud
les music at the Lighthouse School,
plays occasional jazz dates at night.
He plays the saxophone and clar-
met and leads his own quartet.
He wants to do social work when
he finishes his education. "Pd
like to help people with handicaps
who aren't as lucky as myself he
explains.
He studies with the aid Of fellow
students who read his assignments
to him. He records them for a
later playback. In class, he takes
notes with a Braille slate.

income.
Regarding his testimony in re-
spect to his income Mr.. Courts
told the hearing that he had been
forced to flee and leave a $4,000
a year grocery business which he
operated in the town of Belzoni
which subsequent developments
points to as far-fetched if not al
together false. When Courts put
into his testimony the statement
about his income, he was asked to
again come before the hearing on
| last Thursday, but failed to do SO
pleading the illness of both himself
and his wife. They now live in
Chicago.
Raising the question Of the credi-
bility of Courts as witness, Sena-
tor Erwin, of North Carolina who
was doing the questioning, sug-

name of the auditor who prepared
his tax return. pointing to the fact

The union held that the injunc-
ton was "too broad inscope to be
constitutionally valid"
"To the extent that it enjoins
overt acts of hindering and OBJ

union. "To the extent that it en-

Free Speech Explained
The union said mere advocacy to
ignore the law or judicial orders
should not be prohibited. Citizens
have the constitutional right, 1t
said, to oppose a decision of the
United States Supreme Court by
peaceful means, through speech
Mere picketing to express a point

$357.51 for 1854, but showed, in

Meanwhile, from Jackson, Mis-
sissippi, young Negro attorney,
Sidney R. Tharp, under fire from
some Negro sources because his
name was mentioned in connection
with the case of the Negro woman
from Mississippi, Beatrice Young,
who testified before the hearing
on police brutality in the state,
told press representatives that he
was employed by the woman's sis
ter in obtaining the custody of her
daughter who was being kept in
a house of ill-repute by Beatrice
Young, according to her sister,
Mrs. Jane Eta Jackson. Atty.
Tharpe further stated that when
Beatrice Young's testimony w s
given before the committee Mrs.
Jackson was called upon by local
authorities for a statement. She
again came to him and he advised
her to make an affidavit giving
the facts in the case as they ac-
tually existed. That he prepared
the affidavit, at the request of Mrs.
Jane Eta Jackson.

to discussion of the reports by rep

mittee of the NAACP; DR.. William

DR.. Cobb said that the spon-
/ soring organizations are hopeful
of achieving far-reaching results
through this Conference. Nothing
CT the kind has been attempted be-
fore in this field. If progress can
be achieved by a meeting of minds
and mutual cooperation and under
standing, it will make for quicker
and more permanent results that
can be attained by any other
method.

subsequent conviction" An in
junction must be determined by
higher courts, it explained.
The union held that the same
legal principle applied to the six
teen others awaiting trial, but
what may be legally correct may
also be unwise."
"If the injunction violates First
Amendment rights Tor free specify
