Attorneys for 80 Negro stu.
dents went to Federal Court
today in an attempt to force
Arlington school officials to
admit the students to white
schools.
The action followed rejection
OF Arlington and Newport News
transfer applications yesterday
by the Virginia Pupil Place.
ment Board.
Included among the 80 are
five students who were ordered
into white schools last year by
Federal Judge Albert v. Bryan.
The papers filed in Judge
Bryan's court in Alexandria
asks that the court provide
whatever additional orders are
necessary to get the five into
white schools and asks that
the other rs be added to the
desegregation order.
Validity Questioned
Some Arlington school on
Gals have commended that last
years order involving the five
Negroes is not valid for the
school term which begins Sep
TENDER 4.
The Negroes asked Judge
Bryan to restrain and enjoin"
the Arlington School Board
from refusing to admit the
students to school" this fall.
Judge Bryan is expected to
hear the case soon after his
return this week end from a
European vacation.
Meanwhile in Richmond,
Gov. Almond declined today to
offer any advice to the Arling-
ton School Board to follow in
the segregation crisis.
The Governor told a press
conference that that school
board is represented by able
counsel and lit would be in
truding for me to offer advice
unless it was sought in the
presence of that counsel"
The court action is expected to
provide a direct test Of the new
State Pupil Placement Act un-
der which the placement board
rejected the transfer appIica-
tons.
The placement board rejected
the application without COM
ment. Denial of the requests
was expected under the States
massive resistance program
against Indignation.
Arlington Put in Middle
The court action is directed
against the Arlington School
Board and superintendent, but
not against the State placement
board. This puts Arlington off,
Gals in the middle.
So far, the Arlington board
has stuck to a policy that all
pupil assignments in the county
are the responsibility Of the
State placement board.
Robert Peck, chairman Of the
Arlington School Board, said
the children would be notified
by local officials that their
transfer applications have been
denied and that they have been
assigned to segregated schools.
Mr.. Peck said it would be up
to the judge" to say whether
the placement boards action
is valid.

Sale Of Local
Cited at Probe
Hoffu Aide Bought
Way In, Group Told
BY LEE M. COIN
Star Sta Writer

Senate investigators charged
today that Harold j. Gibbons,
now James r. Hoffa's executive
assistant, slipped into the
Teamsters Union by buying a
st. Louis local from its officers
for $4,000.
The money came from union
funds, according to testimony
before the Senate Rackets Com
mittee.
"You got yours and got out, /"
Chairman Mcclellan, Democrat
of Arkansas, told Lawrence j.
CAME. who received $4,000 Of
the sum.
Denies Charge
CAME, the locals former
secretary, denied he sold the
union, Local 66s. He insisted
the payment was severance
pay"
He recalled that in January,
1919, Teamster Local 688 merged
with Gibbons United Distribu-
ton Workers, a CLIO local in st.
Louis. Camie said he and the
rest Of the 688 executive board
resigned and Gibbons took over
as president.
Six other members Of the
old board received 5000 each,
CAME testified. Two business
agents, Harry Harsh and John
j. Church, received $18,355
each, a committee investigator
said.
Board Acted Alone
Camie admitted the executive
board put the merger through
and voted the payments with
out consulting the general
membership of the union. He
said he believed his members
would benefit from the merger
because Gibbons local had a
health plan.
The witness said his Sever
ance pay" covered about three
years remaining in his five
year term as secretary Of the
old local. He implied that the
late Dan Tobin, then president
of the Transfers, approved the
transaction.
Senator Mcclellan said the
deal typifled whats wrong
with many unions. 1.-THE men,
bership was handled just like
they were chattels," he de-
clared.
Camie, who now is in the

ness in st. Louis, testified he

from the Coca-Cols Bottling
Co. of st. Louis in 1856 and

dispute with Local 68S. He

 The Navy Department wants 11,670 acres on Attu, 61,000 acres on Adak, 6,269 acres on Kodiak and 49 acres at Middle Bay for existing and contemplated defense Installations.
 The Interior Department earlier advised Bartlett is felt the request came under a law requiring Con- gressional approval of public land withdrawals by the military in excess of 5000 acres.

New Cannery Site Hub Of Activity

The Whirr of saws and the rat a-tat of hammers continues to be heard at the site of the new king crab cannery on Tagura Road as the building is being readied for new and modern canning equip ment. -
 The 40xl0O-foot building will house half-pound line and one pound line, as well as freezing unit. The old Walt Muller cold storage building is taking on a face lifting that will transform it into modern cannery. A new roof has been put on, and the dock facilities have been extended to 100 feet with plans to build be- yond that.
 A new building has been erect ed across the road from the main building, where will be housed the boilers.
 The cannery is expected to em- ploy from 50 to 60 people, can ming throughout most of the win ter. Benefits from the operation will extend beyond that, of course, in that fishermen and others in volved in supplying the crab will increase the local payroll.
 The new cannery is a joint op- eration of Kadiak Fisheries and the San Juan Packers who are in lease agreement with Walt Mul- Ter for the building. Chuck Turn CT of the Kadiak Fisheries will su- pervise the operation in cooper ation with Stan Calvert.
 Equipment is now being pur- chased in the States for the can nery. No time has been set for beginning of operations, but it is expected to be in November.
