Racial Suit
Referred to
Stute Court

NORFOLK, Va, Jan. Il
(AP).-A three-judge Federal
court ruled today that a suit
to end segregated seating Of
the races in public places
Should be heard first in a
State court.
The suit was filed by three
Negroes who complained OF
segregated seating at a sports
event in the city arena in De-
cember. 1858. The suit asked
the three-judge court to rule
that segregated seating is un-
constitutional.
The court said it could not
issue an injunction because
the plaintiffs had not suffered
.lrreparable damage.
The court said it would delay
any proceedings for so DAYS tc
allow the suit to be filed in q
State court. Should the suit
not be filed in a State court
within that period, it will be
dismissed by the Federal tri-
bunal.
Should the State court not
determine the constitutionality
.of the segregated seating laws
the Federal court will take ur
the case once more. But if the
State court hands down a de-
cision, the Negroes must ex-
haust all State court remedies
before the Federal court would
consider the case.
Members of the three-iudge
court are Justices Simon E. So
beloff and Clement Haynsworth
of the Fourth Circuit Court of
Appeals and District Judge
Walter E. Hoffman.

II. Smith yesterday was found
guilty in Rockville Peoples
Court of assaulting Sergt.
Griggs in a courtroom melee
which followed the jury's pro-
nouncement.
2. The sergeant was one of
four law enforcement officers
acquitted of assaulting Smith
on a stairway to the jail after
the courtroom fight. Peoples
Court Judge John B. Diamond,
III. directed a verdict of not
guilty because, he said, the
State had not proved its case
against the officers.
Auto Damaged
3. Sergt. Griggs left the Rock
vile Detective Bureau. where
he is assigned, after a hard day
at court to find his automobile
had been hit by a woman mo-
torist who had struck two
other cars in a chain-reaction
accident on the parking lot of
the County Office Building.
In chronological order. Sergt.
Griggs activities went this way.
AS a result of the first case.
Judge Diamond labeled the
courtroom fisticuffs "a dis
grace" and sentenced Smith to
three years in the House Of
Corrections for striking the
sergeant as he attempted to
subdue Contee. The judge told
Smith that your youth is the
only factor in prompting the
court to suspend two years of
your sentence, but if you get
into any further trouble. those
two years must be served
Judge Diamond earlier warn
ed the crowded courtroom
against any outbursts, but
there we're loud gasps and
weeping as sentence was pro-
nounced.

An Example

This boy must be made an
example. so that such out
bursts will not happen again"
the judge declared. 1T was a
disgrace that it should have
happened in our highest coun-
ty court. Somewhere along the
line, young people must learn
proper respect and that certain
misdoings will not be tolerated" >"
The three defendants with
Sergt. Griggs IN the assault
case filed by Smith were Sergt.
John Bechtel. Police Sergt.
Cornelius DeVries and Deputy
Sheriff Ralph Offutt.

American life easier and more pleasant.

Science. take note! The EDITORS
Dear Editors:
After living day with Mr.. Keezer in his
article ''Cet Set For The Happy New Dec
ade!'', would like to send message to the
scientists of today and tomorrow. Don't
bother on my account.
Any Of the inventions he predicts would
be great engineering feat. Each would
save work and solve a problem, but what
would life be like without work and without
problems?
want to live in house that's solid and
permanent, not one we could move or
remodel in day. Iwant house that some
times needs fixing with hammer and nails
and one which can have fun painting -
one where I can do old-fashioned spring
house cleaning instead of just washing it all
down with the hose. want home to be
cozy, made of roarm materials, even if they
aren't too practical.
Boss Of the fresh oiT
Air-cooled and heated? Fine. Filtered
too for those who wish it, but push-button
windows? Hmmmm! hope they'd open
manually, too. I'd like to let outside air
into my house whenever ! chose and lots
of it. And children shouldn't miss the
excitement of rushing around closing win
dows when thunderstorm comes up.
The prediction says that tomorrow's
house will be completely soundproofed with
intercom. How about ''outercom''? Never

outside, rain on the roof, old No. 9 in the
distance? How sad and how silent.
Wouldn't mind having the car warmed
up automatically and the snow melted of
the highways = let science work on that -
but cat letter-inner! I'd like to let in my
own cat, or dog. Letting the dog in on a
blustery night and seeing his gratitude is
one of ife's pleasures. Would the dog
wag his tail at the electronic eye?
As for electronic cooking - the split
second timing required would be strain
on my outdated calculating apparatus.
MS fun to moks misIukss
Prepared and instant foods? They're fine
- and yet the joy Of home cooking is the
cooks individual touch, including the cooks
mistakes. The chance of flop on new
recipe adds interest to meals that can't be
found on the spice rack. The family would
soon be longing for some messy-looking
casserole with little kitchen mystery to it.
even enjoy peeling potatoes. There's
something very elemental about real live
potatoes. Has one person in a thousand
nowadays had the thrill of digging them?
Entertainment by dial? What's more
entertaining than Grange meeting, PTA
with something to work for, an amateur
play, game of pinochle with friends, or
children making something? Much Of tele-
vision is good, but television should be
dessert, not necessity. Records and good
music, by all means, but not synthetic
music" as threatened in the prediction.
There's too much unnatural, unsatisfying,
electronic sound now that's being passed
off as music.
And SO you throw away your paper
clothes and 60 to bed. Wow! Our forests
will have to hurry to keep up with the
clothing industry.
Thanks, Mr.. Scientist, for many useful
and pleasant things, now and to come, but
please don't solve all my problems for me.

Red Herrinq?

TaSS, the Soviet news agency, does
not usually feature fishing stories. It's
sudden interest in the ups and downs of
the herring industry, therefore, is Of
considerable interest. Tass says the
Soviet Navy is sending its research
submarine" Severyanka, to study the
habits of the Atlantic herring in its
favorite haunts, north of the Farce
Islands. The Farce Islands happen to
be located in rather strategic position,
militarily as well as piscatorially, north
of the British Isles, and between the
Baltic and Iceland. The opportunities
for research in that area obviously are
extremely inviting. If all this sounds
fishy, blame it on Tass, not on us.

Africo-Priority Problem

President-elect Kennedy wisely has
given high priority attention to one of
the worlds most deeply troubled areas
in his early designation of Governor
Mennen Williams of Michigan as Assist
ant Secretary of State for African
Affairs.
No other continent has problems
quite comparable to those of Africa,
where numerous lands are emerging
hastily from generations of colonial
status to political independence. It is
in large measure the speed of this
transition that is bringing to light one
Of the basic problems-a dangerous
shortage in most of the new states of
personnel qualified by education, train
ing or experience to assume the
administrative responsibilities of self
government. The troubles of the
Belgian Congo offer clear illustration.
Involved, too, are deep tribal divisions
which in many cases cross the new
national boundaries and will not be
easily resolved by political proclamation.
In world truly at peace, the
African evolution might proceed with
reasonable orderliness. But ours is not
such world, and already present or
approaching all corners of the African
continent are the forces involved in
the East-West Struggle-seeking to win
the minds and the resources of the
newly independent people to the cause
OF democracy or to that Of communism.
Mr.. Kennedy is fully aware Of this, of
course, and so stated in his announce
ment of the Williams appointment when
he spoke Of the giant Communist
offensive" in Africa and referred to the
continent as foremost testing ground"
to determine whether freedom can be
maintained in region so beset with
human, economic and political problems.
1t was in awareness of Africa's
needs and our own Self-interest in
winning friends there that Under
secretary Of State 10y Henderson, a
veteran career officer, recently visited
score of the new countries to make
plans for our governmental representa-
ton in their capitals. The next step,
it has been indicated, will be the selec-
career foreign service men, for some
of these posts. 1t was indicated also,
by State Department sources, that
there will be coordination with the
incoming administration on these selec-
tions in the interest of having our
diplomatic representation in the field
within short time.
For his part, Mr.. Williams already
has announced that he will visit the
area of his pending jurisdiction between
now and the time of taking Office on
January 20. The Michigan governor
spoke of his own understanding Of the
importance of his next assignment in
public office, and we wish him well
in task of great responsibility. What
happens in Africa in the near future,
and our own relationship to such hap
penings, will make significant chapter
in world history.

Juvenile Secrecy

Under ordinary circumstances, Ju-
venile Court Judge Ketcham is quite
right in guarding the privacy of juvenile
records. There are instances, however,
in which neither the law nor common
sense justif1es inflexibility on this sub
ject, and one of these was the root of
Judge Ketcham's conflict with Judge
Pine of the District Court.
The records in that matter involved
16-year-old boy, accused of robbery,
whose case, presumably because of its
serious nature, was waived by Judge
Ketcham to District Court. The youths
attorney asked to see the juvenile
records in order to develop his defense.
and Judge Pine ordered that they be
made available. Judge Ketcham at
first baked, acquiescing later, he said,
only because of the legal complications
of appealing the order.
1t was the intention of Congress
that Juvenile records be withheld from
"indiscriminate public inspection" and
be shown only to those with "legiti-
mate interest" in order to protect the
children involved. This is an entirely
proper practice, and it should be main
tained. But when these records are
deemed necessary to the preparation of
an attorneys case, and when a District
Court judge feels he should have them,
disclosure hardly seems to fall into
pattern of "indiscriminate" viewing.
If Judge Ketcham really feels, as
apparently he does, that SUCH rulings
by the District Court constitute an
improper encroachment on the secrecy
requirements, then of course he should
take whatever steps are necessary to
challenge them in the appellate court.
But in this instance, at least, we think
it was the position of Judge Pine that
served the interests of justice.

on Lester Pearson's view that

It is understandable that

Of course. draping themselves

A dissenter against any
form Of authoritarianism is
better of alive than dead

intellectual and physical free
dom. This represents my par
ticular concept Of courage
under the hypothetical cir
cumstances presented. Res
ignation to totalitarianism
followed by suicide is the
way of a fool and coward and
anyone following such a pre-
scribed course of action
would never be in q position
to pay his proper dues to
civilization. Death is final
and forever seals of any
chance man might have to
