Lack of Plan Hit
Mr.. Schifter's statement ac-
cuSed the Prince Georges
County school system of vio-
lating the Supreme Courts
decree on segregation because
it has no plan to move from
its present position toward full
compliance with the decree
through governmental action" "
Noting that only 5 per cent
of the Negro pupils in Prince
Georges now attend integrated
schools, Mr.. Schifter said the
initial assignment of students
by the school authorities con-
tinues to be made on the basis
of races"
In a letter to the Prince

Lists 5 Complaints
A list of complaints from Mr..

l. Negro citizens are required
while white citizens are not
to follow a procedure of ap-
plicaCion and approval in Or
der to have their children at
tend the school nearest their
homes, if that school is pre-
dominantly white.
2. The burden on Negro citi-
zens is aggravated by a system
of feeder" schools which sends
Negroes to two secondary
schools, Douglas and Fairmount
Heights, although other sec
ondary schools may be nearer
their homes.
3. The school board has pur-
sued a policy of constructing
new schools in such a way as to
perpetuate, rather than elm
mate, the pattern of segrega-
ton.

Special Court
On Appeals TO
Close Down

While most Federal courts
in the Nation are complaining
about overloaded dockets, the
United States Emergency Court
of Appeals will go cut of busi-
ness next Wednesday because
it does not have anything more
to do.
At a brief ceremony at IL
am. the three-judge court
with Attorney General Robert
Kennedy-will hand down its
last opinion and close up shop.
The Emergency Court of APP
peals was established in 1912
for the limited purpose of han
ding appeals of cases involv-
ing World War II price and
rent control. These cases were
appealed from United States
District Courts or directly from
Federal agencies which were
charged with regulating prices
and rents during World War II
and the Korean War.
Six Judges Served
Probably the most short
lived court in the history of
the Nation, the Emergency
Court of Appeals is different in
another respect. Judges of
other Federal courts are ap-
pointed by the President and
approved by the Senate, but
the judges of the Emergency
Court-all of them already
jurists appointed to Federal
district and appellate courts
we're named by the Chief Jus
tice of the United States.
Only six judges have served
on the Emergency Court since
its establishment, including
the late Chief Justice Fred
Vinson (then sitting on the
appellate court here) and the
late chief Judge Bolitha Laws
of the District Court here.
The present judges of the
court are Albert B. Maris, a
retired judge Of the Federal
Appellate Court of Philadel-
phia; Calvert Magruder, re-
tired judge of the Federal
Appellate Court in Boston, and
Judge Thomas F. McAllister,
chief judge of the Sixth Cir
cult Court of Appeals in Gin
cinnati.
Handled 676 Cases
During its 16 years of exist
ence the Emergency Court has
handled 676 cases. The judges
travelled to many places in the
United States to hold hearings.
The business of the court,
which at one time had a staff
of four, dropped off after World
War II, but picked up again
when new price and rent con-
troll legislation was imposed
during the Korean War.
However, the court staff now
consists only of acting clerk
j. Frederick Mattingley, and
the business of the court has
fallen off drastically since 1858.
In recent years, weeks would go
by without a case.
Mr.. Mattingley said that oc-
casionally he has received let
ters from men in prison seeking
to appeal low court decisions
in criminal cases. However, he
has patiently replied to these
men that his court has no
jurisdiction in such cases.

Bailey Aide
Is Reported
Under Probe
By the Associated Press

Representative Zablocki, Dem
ocrat of Wisconsin, says the
House Committee on Un-Ameri-
can Activities is investigating, al
his request, the background OF
Paul Corbin, special assistant
to John M. Bailey, Democratic
national chairman.
Mr.. Zablocki said yesterday
that the committee began
hearing witnesses in executive
session this week, but COM
mittee sources refused to con-
firm or deny that the investi-
CATION is taking place.
Mr.. zablocki said he also had
asked the Attorney General to
either clear Mr.. Corbin COM
pletely or see that his con-
,nection with the Democratic
National Committee is severed" ."
Allegations that Mr.. Corbin
had worked for Communist
causes in Wisconsin is years
ago were inserted in the Con-
gressionsl Record several
months ago by Representative
Laird, Republican of Wiscon-
sin. Mr.. Corbin also was said
to have been a close friend
of the late Senator Mccarthy
Republican of Wisconsin, and
publicly embraced Senator Nc
Carthy on stage at an
American Legion convention in
Green Bay in 1850.
Mr.. Zablocki said he thinks
Mr.. Corbin would be a serious
political liability in the con-
gressional campaigns next
year.
He said he was not satisfied
with Mr.. Bailey's defense OF
Mr.. Corbin, who raised cam
paign funds for President Ken
nedy last year in West Virginia
and New York.
Mr.. Bailey said longtime as
sociates of Mr.. Corbin said he
never was affiliated with any
.subversive group, and that Mr.
,Corbin voluntarily had sub
mitted to a lie detector test.

Mr.. Preminger said he will
appeal the decision.

Bank Liable for Injuries
InHome eItHeIdTitIe To

The United States Court OF
Appeals ruled today that a bank
that merely held title to resi-
Dental property might be liable
for accident injuries there.
The case involved a suit
brought by a woman who broke
her arm when a chair leg
slipped into a crack in a floor
in a rented basement room. A
District Court jury awarded the
woman $500.
/ Her suit was against the Ma
tional Bank of Washington.
The bank owned the property
at 210 F street NV. A man.
agement company leased the
premises to man who, in turn,
rented the basement room to
the woman.
New Law" for ID. c.
Martin E. Gerel, who repre-
sented Mrs. Sally Dixon, the
woman who sued, said today
ruling is new law for the Dis
Itrict." He said this is the first
time a bank that exercised nc
control over the premises has
been held liable for accident
injuries there.
Judge E. Barrett Prettyman
who wrote today's opinion, SAID
District housing regulations re-
quire that floors be kept free
of wide cracks and that nc
owner, hcenSee or tenant shall
permit the occupancy of any
habitation in violation of the
regulation.
The judge rejected the argu-
ment advanced by the bank
that it had no notice of the
defective condition of the floor
of the leased premises. He
noted the bank had owned the
property for two years and
seven months prior to the &C
cident.

portation costs and requires
Negro students to spend more
time travelling to and from
school.
5. Segregation is practiced
among the teaching staff in
that no Negro teacher teaches
in other than a Negro school.
Three Changes Made
William S. Schmidt, Prince
Georges superintendent of
/ schools, today said three
changes have been made in
the school boards integration
policy since its original adop-
ton following the Supreme
Court 1854 school desegregation
decision.
The initial policy did not
integrate school buses, but this
restriction was eliminated four
or five years ago, Mr.. Schmidt
said.
/ Originally, Negro first grad
ers were not allowed to enter
a previously all-white school
nor were Negro children of any
grade who moved into the
county after the deadline Cor
filing requests for attendance
in formerly all-white schools
Mr.. Schmidt said. Both re-
StrictionS have been eliminated
for more than two years, he
said.
Mr.. Schmidt said he did not
know of Mr.. Schifter's state
ment until he read it in news
papers. He declined to COM
ment further until he received
a copy of the brief and some
word from Thomas c. Pullen
ir., State school superintend-
ent.
The matter likely will be
taken up at the county school
boards next meeting December
10, Mr.. Schmidt added.
He said the school board staff
has been considering the posi-
bility of closing Negro schools
as part of a new school con-
struction program to be un-
veiled early next year. Whether
this would be economically
feasible when worked into the
overall school operation has
not yet been determined, he
added.
There are 1872 Negro students
in So integrated schools. The
county's enrolment totals
nearly $4,000 in 1877 schools,
including some 5000 Negroes.

because of job patronage, or
because of some favor he might

not intelligent reasons for vot-
ing for a man. Look at the

In the final analysis the words
of Alexander Pope are too often
true. He said, Party spirit is
the madness of man for the
gain of a few A man should
be bigger than his office. He
should do his work so thoroughly
for the people that they will
send him higher. Political am
bitlon based on service to the
people is one of the grandest
visions for the American youth
to have. Cases should be cited,
with due care to the BALANCING
CT parties, of prosecuting at
torneys, mayors, governors, and
state and federal legislators who
have executed their trust Sc
ably and conscientiously for the
public welfare that the people.
Independent of party bosses trust
them and give them greater and
greater tasks to do.
May we not tell the world
what we are by what we say
concerning our fellowman, and
may we so live here that we
may go to heaven someday to-
gether.

The OUTLOOK
THE CHOICE WE
LIVE WITH
By Pastor Stephens

In a. few weeks we will go
to the polls to elect a Village
President and trustees as our.
gal representative for the
health and general welfare of
the people of Robbins, Illinois.
Who is the best qualified per-
son to hold this job? When you
cast your vote will it be a vote
in which you haze intelligently
concluded that tbs is the best
man for the job TO be done? l
hope and pray that this will be
the basis for your salaction. /
believe all the candidates run
ming for this office would have
you vote for them on nothing
less than their merits and your
sincere confidence in their abil-
ity to adequately represent us
at home and wherever they are
required to do so We are also
concerned that whosoevr takes
his seat in the Village Hall will
have sound vision and deter
mination to spend himself I'M
selfishly for the good of the
people he is privileged to rep
resent.
More and more the eyes of
the world are being focused on
us because we represent almost
"a complete Negro community.
/ believe we are equal to the
task of righting all the wrongs
which have hindered progress
in the past and to continue the
progress we have made and to
give to the world an example
of proficiency in the operation
of village government.
There is a danger of being
persuaded to vote for man

ways to oil the machinery of
Government.
The conference, composed of
representatives of Government
agencies, attorneys and pro-

economy, expedition and eff

Yesterday, the 86-member
group, set up by President Ken

White House several recon-
mendations.
One procedural change sug-
gested by the group would
change judicial review of In

orders from three-judge Dis

Also, several boards which
now handle cases dealing with
contracts involving the three
services should be abolished,
the conference felt, and con-
