Gains Made Through Courts
He said many court orders

all progress so far has come
only from specific court action.

Mr.. FRESHMAN said the Court

than that necessary to carry
out It's provisions" The court
added. Mr.. FRESHMAN said. that
revenue acts passed under the

frequently held void"
Because the county commits
sioners granted the license for
a 100000 fee. Mr.. FRESHMAN

report indicated 1.-The mountain

The report reached the legis-
lative council late Tuesday
night. Senator Wheatley told
the council the press of time
had been so great that his full
committee hadn't been able to
study the report.
Mr.. Robinson said giving

A recommendation that the

FREDERICKSBURG. wa.
Dec. IA Howard University
graduate who grew up almost
within the shadow Of the Uni
versity Of Virginia. is the pres
ident Of the Virginia branch Of
the National Association for the
Advancement Of Colored People.
DR.. Philip Y. Wyatt, who took
his degree from Howard's Col
lege of Dentistry. says he began
working toward lettering the
plight Of the Negro" because of
in his own child
hood.
Born in Charlottesville, near
the campus of the University
of Virginia (which since has
admitted some Negroes, he
played as youth. near "a big
fine high school for whites"
Yet. DR., Wyatt's father, a
barber for 81 years, had TO send
him more than 100 miles away
to a boarding school so that
he could obtain a high school
education.
The tall, gray-haired dentist
is so years old. He has practiced
here for the last Is years.
DR.. Wyatt was graduated
from Virginia State College at
Petersburg in 1928 and took
his d gree at Howard in 1892.
Considers Progress Lost
Segregation is fading faster
in the South than most per-
sons realize. he believes. But
DR.. Wyatt adds, almost all
progress made by the NAACP'
in the three years since the
1854 Supreme Court decision
has resulted from forced court
action.
Actually, things have been
happening faster than / once
thought they would" he said.
And ! think they're happen

for complete desegregation IN

Mineral Program Criticized bv
 Mining Witnesses

WASHINGTON Mining in dustry witnesses before the Sen ate Interior Committee Wednes- day showed little enthusiasm for the Administrations proposed long-range mineral program.
 Mainly, they said, it doesn't go far enough.
 Criticism of the mineral bill centered around a proposal to provide government incentive payments of S21 ton for metal lurgical chromite to spur produc- ton. of that metal.
 Karl Bachner, partner in the Kenai Chrome Co.,, Alaska, told the committee that incentive pay ments should be boosted to at least S115 ton if American mines are to compete with foreign producers.
 Bachner said Alaska producers are faced with extremely high la bor costs which range up to $4.12 an hour for carpenters, $4 an hour for electricians, and $3.65 an hour for truck drivers, with double time on most overtime
 Sen Neuberger told the com mittee that the important thing is to have program that will keep the industry alive He said the committee should consider wheth- CT a program of government sub sidies for the industry might not be preferable to raising prices by means of tariffs.
