Does the marketbasket Of this

OF course it does not-not

WINGS & WHEELS

The current issue of Business
Week sings a blues chorus for
the aviation industry which
seems TO be headed for real
trouble"
But there were no such indi-
cations in evidence last week
when some of the top men in
the business came to Washing
ton for the Aviation Writers
Association meeting.
Business Week says some
thing like 80 per cent Of the
aircraft business is military

plane is nearing its end. Few
in the trade are willing to con-
cede that the missile viii com.
pletely displace the manned
airplane.
But no one disputes that the
number of airplanes required is
going down; that the number
of different types is going down
even faster and that what BUSH
ness remains is getting less
profitable all the time
During last week, Gen. Orval
r. Cook, president of the now
renamed Aerospace Industries
Association, expressed high OPP
timism. There will be a con-
tinuing strong market for COM
mercial aircraft of every cate
CORY, especially in the helicop-
ter-vertical takeoff field and
manned military vehicle will
constitute the core of our major
weapons system" he said.

Move Asked
For Student
EXCHANGES

The Board Of Foreign Schol-
arships yesterday urged Presi-
dent Eisenhower and Congress
to provide more funds for edu-
cational exchange as "a long,
range force for peace"
Under the Fulbright Act
American students receive aid
in foreign currencies acquired
by the United States through
the sale of surplus properties
or surplus agricultural COM
modities.
But this permits operations
in only 80 countries. while the
United States has cultural re-
lations with more than 80, the
hoard pointed out.
The Importance of educa-
ton to less-developed countries
Of the world was stressed. The
board pointed out that only 10
programs are being conducted
in these areas: One in Africa,
six in the Middle East, five IN
Asia and seven in Latin
America.

US. Speeds Argument
Opposing Kosper Plea

that the National Association
for the Advancement OF Colored
People divulge ~ State officials
the names Of branch officers in
the State and the aggregate
amount Of donations received.
During litigation in which
the State sought back corpora
toin taxes totalling $3.50 from
the NAACP, Arkansas attorneys
declared they needed the in
formation to further the tax
suit. When the NAACP refused
to divulge the demanded data,
the trial court rendered de-
fault judgment against the Or
ganizatfon. No contempt ac-
ton was taken against the
NAACP because the money was
deposited with the court pend
ing final determination Of the
case.
Yesterdays action does not
mean the NAACP will have to
turn over the information. In
stead, the organization may
pay the taxes without further
contest.
In q past case involving an
attempt by Alabama to have
the NAACP divulge its entire
list Of members in the State,
the Supreme Court held that
this demand was an unwar-
ranted infringement on the
constitutional right to freedom
of speech land association.
A State cannot refuse to al
low a convicted person to seek
appeal merely because he can
not afford the filing fee, the
court held.
William w. Burns had been
sentenced to life Imprisonment
in Ohio following his 1858 con-
viction of burglary. A State
appellate court heard one APP
peal at no cost to Burns. But
when he sought to file for per-
mission to appeal to the State
Supreme Court, the court clerk
turned him down because he
could not pay the $40 fee for
filing.
The court split. 60, on the
result. with Justice Stewart not
participating and Justices
Frankfurter and Harlan dis
senting on the ground that the
clerks action was not a final
judgment in a legal sense.
Burns could appeal directly to
the State court judges, the dis
senters concluded.
Newspaper stories, revealing

show he had once practiced

cial and not relevant.
! However, two newspaper sto-
ries said he had a record of two
previous felony convictions.
Seven jurors admitted having
read the stories but declared
they were not influenced by
them.
In ordering a new trial, the

opinion. stated: I'VE have here

ed a dissent without further
comment.
The court divided sd in
ruling that a New York State
Judge did not violate the
rights of two private detectives
when he barred their lawyer
from the room while he ques-
toned them.
The men were questioned
during an investigation into
unethical practices by some
BROOKLYN attorneys.
While the detectives attor-
ney was obliged to remain out

were free to consult with him
at any time. The detectives re-
fused to answer certain ques-
tions under the circumstances
and subsequently, after a trial,
were sentenced to 30 days i'm
prisonment for contempt.
Justice Harlan. writing for
the majority. declared that the
questioning was only an inves-
tigative step and that, under

Of counsel was not required.
