Court UphoIds
Vote Law Curbs

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. l6
(AP).-The United States 5th
Circuit Court of Appeals has
upheld a decision refusing to
invalidate legislation which al
tered the city limits of Tus-
kegee, Ala, and excluded
hundreds of Negroes from city
elections.
The appellate court yester-
day supported the ruling by
Federal Judge Frank johnson,
jr.. that the court had no au-
thority to hold the legislation
unconstitutional.
Boundaries of Tuskegee were
changed by the Alabama Legis-
lature. A group of Negroes
sought to invalidate the act on
grounds that the move excluded
all except a handful of 400
Negro voters from the city and
deprived them of the right to
vote in local elections.
The Negroes charged that
the boundary change was aimed
at denying them the right of
city citizens and that it vio-
lated the cue process clause
of the Constitution and the
equal protection clause.
Judge Warren Jones of the
Appellate Court held that the
power of changing municipal
territory limits is inherent and
discretionary in the Legisla-
ture" and cannot be revised
by the courts"

Treasury fund for the re-
mainder of the year. But he
asked Congress to put on a pro-
viso for repayment of the ad-
vance by June 80.
However, Bureau of Public
Roads officials have estimated
the fund on next June 80 will
be $l57 million short of the
amount necessary to meet all
obligations to the States for
the year.
Denounces Plan
If the $3.50 million advance
were returned to the Treasury
by that date, it would not be
available to meet this $157 mil
lion deficit. Administration Of
ficials. have said they planned
to meet this situation by de-
laying payments a few weeks
until the fund catches up.
Senator Gore denounced this
as amounting to a default in
Federal road fund obligations
to the States. He said this was
the first time any administra-
ton had adopted such a course
as a matter of policy.
The Senate Appropriations
Committee acceded to Mr.. Ell
senhower's request and put into
the money bill the proviso that
the 1859 million must be re-
paid June 80 even if it meant
the delay in State payments.
But Senator Gore succeeded
in knocking out the proviso on
a point of order last Saturday.
House delegates wanted to
restore it in the conference on
the measure early yesterday
but Senator Gore threatened
again to raise the point of order
on the compromise bill, and
the proviso stayed out.
The end result was agree
ment on a provision that the
money would be repaid to the
Treasury by June 30 only if it
could be done without default
in the existing obligations to
the States.

The crowding of American

Roger Rowland, head of the

It's hard to believe that only
superficial noSe-counts have

so.
Last year 637, 900 Ameri-

Now the Importance Of
tourism to the economies of
all nations is finally UNDER

spent on average $3.50 per
