Walks Outin
Schools Suit

NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 26
(AP). - Louisiana Attorney
Gen. Jack Gremillion walked
out of a Federal court hearing
here today on desegregation of
New Orleans public schools
with the declaration "I'm not
going to stay in this den of
iniquity."
Mr.. Gremillion's walkout t
came after Judge Richard T.
Rivers of Montgomery. Ala,
presiding Judge of a three judge
court here, had admonished
Mr.. Gremillion to be more re-
spectful before the court.
Mr.. Gremillion's ire was
aroused when the court ruleI
the plaintiff in a suit directed
against the Orleans Parish
County school board could
introduce affidavits in evidence.
Charles E. Richards, repre-
senting 81 white parents who
seek to enjoin the school board
from closing the schools to
avoid desegregation, said he
wanted to introduce affidavits.
Mr.. Grimillion objected. He
said he had not had f1ve-days
notice for the introduction of
such affidavits and he wanted
time to file counter aff1davits.

minican Republic.
An announcement by the
State Department said the
United States diplomatic mis-
sion at Ciudad Trujillo is being
withdrawn.
The Dominican government

the country under the strong

Star Stah Writer

The AFL -CIO executive
council today gave it's blessing
to the Democrats Kennedy
johnson ticket, and set the
stage for a formal Endorsement
by the 13-million-member la
Dor federation.
Despite misgivings expressed
by some. the 18 members pres
ent voted in favor of the Dem
|ocratic nominees. A. Philip
Randolph, president of the
Brotherhood of Sleeping Car
Porters, was the lone dissenter.
Mr.. Randolph had said
earlier that there is not
enough difference between
them (the Democratic and Re-
publican tickets to justify q
choice" It was not clear
whether the civil rights issue
paid an important part in Mr..
Randolph's decision.
Adoption by Board Seen
The councils action at a
meeting here this morning con-
stituted a recommendation to
the .AFL-CIO general board.
The general board, with about
ITO members. was EXPECTED to
accept the recommendation and
vote the formal Endorsement of
the Democratic ticket over

Serious questions persisted
about the labor federation's
enthusiasm for the Democratic
ticket, and about how affec-
lively labor will work in the
campaign, because of dissention
expressed among labor leaders.
Eleven of the executive coun-
cil's 90 members were absent
from today's meeting. Among
the abSentees was AL j. Hayes,

Fund Chopped

House Unit Cut
Brings PIeu by
/ Budget Bureau
BY JAMES G. DEANE
Star Stan Writer

President EiSenhower's pro-
posed $500.000 budget for the
new National Capital Transpor-
tation Agency was chopped in
half today by the House Ap-
propriations Committee.
The economy minded House
unit also slapped a 25-employe
ceiling on the new agency, COM
pared to 54 asked by the White
House.
The slash in funds, consid-
cred likely to pass the House
later today, was viewed by
hackers as a blow at hopes for
fast development of Washing
ton subways and other conges-
ton fighting transit facilities.
There was still a chance, how
ever, that the Senate might re-
store the cut.
Restoration Urged
A Budget Bureau spokesman
declared:
1--WE believe the $500,O00 is
necessary and hope it will be
restored"
The committee action was
taken on a supplemental fund
measure which includes $90.5
million for various Federal and
District agencies.
The committee, acting on
recommendations of a subcom-
mittee headed by Representa-
tive Thomas. Democrat of
Texas. took these other actions
bn District items:
Refused 10000 for four spe-
kial masters for Districts Ju-
Fenlle Court. The $4,000 to
provide for the masters" would
have eased the crowded docket
n Juvenile Court. The masters
plan was a substitute for a pro-
posal to add two judges to the
eourt. The latter plan was.
Abandoned because of the op-
position it was certain to meet

courts.
Staff Funds Awaited
The cut in funds sought for
the new transportation agency
came virtually on the heels of
the act creating the agency,
which was strongly recon-
mended by a Senate House
committee and the District
committees. The White House
is now waiting for funds to
name a $19,000-a-year admin

ignoring President E1Sen-
hower's request for recon-
initial, the House today ap-
proved the Scaled-down $3.7
billion foreign aid appropria-
tionS bill.
The House indicated this
afternoon it will reject a protest
by President Eisenhower against
reduction of his foreign aid
request from SAL billion to $3.7
billion.
Within a few minutes after
receiving a presidential letter
asking for recommittal of the
compromise bill, the House ad-
ministered a partial rebuff by
approving most of the foreign
aid conference report without a
roll call.
AL that remains is to act on
several amendments that had
to be called up separately.
These also are expected to be
approved.
The bill is $407 million be-
low the authorized ceiling and
$265 million below the appro-
priation bill as passed by the
Senate.
Sees Security Threat
In his letter. Mr.. Eisenhower
said the $3,722,350.000 in the
foreign aid bill is too little. He
said the cuts from his requests
will ieopardiSe the security Of
the country"
In an unusual action, Mr..
Eisenhower asked that Congress
reject the report of Senate
House negotiators who settled
on that figure in compromising
differences between separate
bills passed by he two branches.
Mr.. Eisenhower's request was
made in letters to congressional
leaders.
Adjournment Imperiled
The unusual move tossed up
a road block for the legislators
barreling toward adjournment
in the middle Of next week.
The letters went to Senate
Majority Leader johnson. the
Democratic vice presidential
nominee, Senate G. o. P. Leader
Dirksen. House Speaker Ray
burn and House G. o. P. Leader
Halleck.
In a statement issued at the
White House, Mr.. Eisenhower
noted that he had repeatedly
stated that the fun $4,086, ,000,-
900 he asked for foreign aid is
vitality needed.
In reference to the figure in
the pending bill, he said:
This cut would sharply cur
tail support indispensable to
the defense Of allies now under
intensified Soviet pressure and
deny aid urgently needed by
other friendly nations strug-
Cling under the gravest diff
culties to make progress in
