only vague ideas about Mr.. Rob-
eson's political opinions, but are
attracted by his voice and person
atty and are convinced he is a
man of high ideals. This sympathy
the Supreme Court that the three
had not exhausted their right of
appeal in the Florida courts and
hence Supreme Court review was
improper. Mr.. Marshall disputed
this.
The city contended that there
was no evidence in the case of
racial discrimination. 1t cited the
bus driver as having testified that
he had had no instructions bearing
on segregating of white and Ne
gro passengers.
The Supreme Courts refusal to
review the case does not imply
q finding that the ordinance is con-
stitutional or is being constitu-
tionally applied. A different case
showing consistent use of the ordi-
nance to segregate Negroes might
be treated differently by the court.
Nevertheless, today's action may
tend to encourage local efforts in
the South to preserve segregated
transportation

is heightened by Mr.. Robeson's
being Negro.
The planned celebrations, there
fore, have attracted some Indians
who would be astonished at any
idea that they were helping the
Communists.
The Prime Minister in a letter
to the all-India committee organic
ing the celebrations, wrote:
This is an occasion which de-
serves celebration not only because
Mr.. Robson is one of the greatest
artists of our generation, but also
because he has represented and
suffered for a cause which should
be dear to all of us-the cause of
human dignity. Celebration of his
birthday is something more than a
tribute to a great individual. 1t
is also a tribute to that cause for
which he has stood and suffered"
Mr.. Robson, whose passport
troubles date back to 1850, APP
piled in January for a Limited"
passport good only for travel to
Britain. The State Department,
denying the request, noted his fail
ure to answer questions with re-
spect to Communist party member
ship" Three weeks ago he turned
again to the United States District
Court in Washington with a brief
arguing that his constitutional
rights had been violated.

| DR.. bunche
| Praises UNEF

Since the advent of the United
Nations Emergency Force on the
Egyptian-Israeli border, tension
there is caused mainly by Arab
herds of wandering goats and
sheep, impounded and sometimes
sold by Israelis, DIR. Ralph j.
Bunche, undersecretary of the
United Nations, told the third an
nual United Nations Conference at
international House here.
DR.. Bunche called the UN peace
army "the most encouraging dem
onstration there has ever been of
the ability of nations to cooperate
when it is absolutely necessary"
Describing how Egyptian feda-
yeen (commandos) and Israeli re-
taliatory raids have been stopped
by the peace army, DR.. Bunch told
an audience from 81 nations that
the UN does have some trouble
with "10-year-old shepherd boys
and their herds" The goats and
sheep wander across the demarca-
ton line and are impounded on the
Israeli side.
"They don't always get returned
Immediately, and sometimes their
captors get commercial IDEAS" he
observed. He related that one herd
was recently returned with a bill
for STOP for grazing costs"
DR.. Bunche said he had protested
that inasmuch as Palestine refu-
gees live on $27 per capita a year,
this was "high-fallutin" grazing.
The bill was not pressed, he said.

Nehru Party
Loses Election

NEW DELHI, India, Mar. 21.-
The ruling Congress party failed
to win majority in elections to
the New Delhi Municipal Corpora
ton yesterday.
Prime Minister Jawaharlal Neh-
rus Congress party won. 81 seats,
the Peoples party 25, Communists
8, Peoples Socialists 1, Hindu Ma
hasabha / and Independents ID.
New Delhi is ruled by the CEN
trail Government. The Municipal
Corporation was set up solely to
administer civic amenities. How
ever, the election shows that not
even majority of the capitals
voters support Mr.. Nehru's party
on local issues. The municipal OPP
position is from the Rightist, anti
Moslem, pro-Hindu Peoples party,
a religious as well as political or
ganization.

81 of the accused were released.
Financial Aid Sought

81 of the accused were released.
Financial Aid Sought
81 was very much involved in
launching the South African Urea
son Defense Fund.-" says Miss Ju-
nod.
AS chairman of it in the Durham
region she is at present touring
TIE United States to solicit finan-
cial support. Focal point for
American contributions is the
American Committee on Africa, d
West 40th Street, New York City.
First act of the fund was to
raise bail for the accused. Since
then it has been able to provide a
maximum of S33 a month to fami-
lies of the defendants to pay for
such elemental needs as food, rent,
utilities and clothing.
Although most of the defendants
are Africans (blacks), among them
are whites, Indians, and colored
people (persons of mixed descent)
They include lawyers, doctors,
clergymen, architects, journalists,
housewives, and laborers.
At first tie professional men
drew on their savings in this
emergency. Factory hands had no
such choice. Without the funds as
sistance, families of the latter
would have been destitute, since
defendants have been in court for
most of the past year, cut off from
work and income.
Miss Junod has personal acquain-
tances among the accused. One,
a lawyer who went to school with
her, las been freed of charges. He
is married, has three children.
Imagine being away from his
practice for year." Miss Junod
exclaims, "a practice which took
years to build up in a small viii
lage"
A medical doctor, one of the old
est established Indian physicians
in Durham, is still separated from
! his practice. He has one son to
support in college in England. Now
it is doubtful il second son can
have this educational opportunity
Fund Pays School Fees
One factory worker, an active
trade unionist, has his wife and
children to support plus tie chill
dren of his wife's deceased sister,
The fund is paying the school fees
of the children and providing an
allowance for food and clothing.
The wife is doing sewing.
During court recesses the hus-
band has tried desperately to get
work." says Miss Junod. Finding
jobs for the accused has been the
hardest chore for the fund, she
says, suspicion Is all around"
Fearful Of being regarded fellow
travellers" employers are loathe to
hire anyone involved in the trial.
Miss Junod was interviewed in
Boston while on a speaking tour Of
New England. She will address
university audiences throughout the
United States before returning to
Natal at the end Of June.

Miss Junod has tackled the prob.
lem of mass arrests less like 9
learned anthropologist and more
like woman. "What will happen
to their families and their in.
comes ?" she asks.
Exactly 1876 persons were scoop
ed up without notice by the South
African Government in the pre-
dawn hours of Dec. s, 1856. They
were hustled from their ZONES

Certiorari Is Sought
A petition for certiorari, or re-
view, was filed by Thurgood Mar
shall of the N. A. A.sC. P.'s legal
arm in New York.
In the background of the case
is series of events in Tallahassee
after the decision of the Supreme
Court in late 1856 that interstate
bus segregation was unconstitu-
tional. That decision was based
on a case involving buses in Mont
gomery, Ala.
The bus company in Tallahassee
voluntarily ended segregation soon
after the decision in the Montgom-
cry case. Some violence on the
buses followed and Gov. Leroy
Collins of Florida ordered bus ser
vice in Tallahassee temporarily
suspended.
The City Commission adopted
the weight ordinance. In a test
of the ordinance, two young Ne
groes and a white youth refused
to obey a bus drivers orders of
where to sit. They were arrested
and convicted of violating the ordi-
nance.

County school officials,
who must fall over themselves
in their C rowd e d, obsolete
headquarters building in
Rockville, are keeping their
fingers crossed.
Tuesday they expect to learn if
the County Council will give
them $150,000 to make a start
on roomier, modern offices.
At present, they must get along
with the same space they have
had for almost two decades. Dur.
ing this time the county's school
population has jumped almost
300 percent.
The red-bricked, ones tory
building on the corner of Mont.
gOmery Avenue and Monroe
Street, was built i'm the early
1905 as the first Rockville High
School.
A remodeling job was done
after a fire in 1910 burned out
the front portion. Board offices
first occupied two classrooms and
later the whole building when
Richard Montgomery was com
pleted.
Public clamor which rises to
high pitch when schools are
overcrowded has been little more
than whisper in behalf of the
school administration
The waste of educational dol
lars from crowding the countys
top-salaried educators into insult
ficient space is not apparent, to
many.
Yet every day taxpayers
money is being wasted at the
board of education building. Diff
ficult working conditions keep
supervisors and administrators
from reaching peak efficiency.
The modern furnishings dis
guise the fact that the superin-
tendent's office is only $50 square
feet, not large room. Next door,
in $50 square feet are crowded
his secretary, the Clerk to the
Board, two part-time typists with
most of his files and those of
the Board.
His assistant achieves privacy
but not space in 6 by 8 foot adj
joining cubby hole.
Constant traffic reveals the re.
ception room as part of the hall
with door at each end. Its one
couch is often the scene of highly
emotional private" conferences
between pupil personnel workers
and disturbed parents and chill
dren.
Fugitives from their $50 feet
of office space next door, the
pupil personnel people are forced
TO hold their confidential inter
views in the public eye.
The only conference space in
the building is the $50 square
foot board room, in constant de-
mand for professional staff meet
ings, committee meetings, board
