Andersen said his fight for
human rights was a matter of
principle and therefore easy for
him.
Some issues are difficult to re-
solve" he said, like determining
how much a tax dollar should be
spent for a certain project.
But when it comes to a matter
of principle it is easy to decide
either you believe in human rights
or you don't - and the human
rights issue cannot be compromised

Negro Girl Cause:
Wisconsin Sorority
Placed On Probafion
For Pledqinq Student

Des MolneS, Ia. CAMP - The
Beloit (Wis.) college chapter Of
Delta Gamma, a social sorority.
has refused to GUST Miss Patricia
Hamilton, 81, a Negro girl, from
the campus body despite threats
and pressure from its national
council, the Des Moines Register
reported in a copyrighted story
here last week.
The Register reported Sunday,
April % that the national council
Of the sorority had placed the Be-
lott college chapter on so days pro-
baton with the probability of GUS
ter from the parent body at the
end of that period for pledging
Miss Hamilton, described as an out
standing student leader on the
campus.
Probation Clicked In Secrecy
However, Beloit chapter presi-
dent Miss Phyllis Fransworth, 20,
a junior from Nashville, Tenn. told
the Register that Miss Hamilton,
a junior from Madison, Wis, will
remain pledge, despite the pres
sure and threat from the council.
The biased edict from the nation
al council was clicked in Sec
recy, and Mrs. Robert w. Preston,
national president, who lives on
Long Island, N. Y, refused to COM
ment on it.
The council, according to the
Register, tried to keep the proba-
ton order hush-hush by asking
chapters, collegiate actives and
alumnae chapters and associations
to read and destroy the order and
not to comment on it to anyone"
The probation order did not men
ton Miss Hamilton but left little
doubt as to the reason. 1t indicated
also that there is a jimcrow clause
in the national constitution. The
probation order read:
Council has voted unanimously
to place the chapter on fraternity
probation Immediately and has in
stituted the procedures necessary
to follow as provided in article 10
of the fraternity constitution be-
fore council can determine wheth-
er or not to suspend the chapters
charter.
"a period of so days is required
between the time the chapter is
notified of the proposed action and
the date upon which council will
make it's final decision. The date
for the (finaD decision has been
set for June 80, 1862"
The Register said a statement
of instruction was stapled to the
order, reading:
A Private Organization
IF questioned by anyone out
side of your group you are to re-
ply No comment If, however,
you are questioned by your college
administration you are to refer to
them to the president of the fra
ternity."
When questioned on the matter,
DR.. Miller Upton, Beloit president,
said he would hate to think the
national office has taken this ac-
ton on this count (pledging Miss
Hamilton). He added he knew the
college chapter is on probation but
doesn't know why.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Preston indicat-
ed she thought the national body
had a right to discriminate. This
is a private organization. When we
have disciplinary actions there Is
no reason why we have to tell any
one about them" she told the Reg
lister,

David Scull, the only Re.
publican candidate so far fol
Governor of Maryland, last
night proposed creation of 6
State office for urban affairs
irrespective of final Federal
action" on a national depart

many ways" he told a meeting
of the executive board of thu
Montgomery County Federation
of Republican Women.
1T could coordinate activ.
ity at all levels" he explained
1T would be able to guarc
against future Federal en-.
croachment into spheres of 10.
cal responsibility. And it would
offer now to harassed city Off
Gals much broader help thar
is available from the technica
advisory service at Maryland
University"
Mr.. Scull said he is a firm
believer in States rights, but
1 am equally determined to
match that belief with positive
action in meeting the respon-
sibilities that go with it."

Youth Charged
With Stealing
Police Cruiser

A 17-year-old youth last night
told Mt. Rainier city policemen
he borrowed" one of their po-
lice cars Sunday night on a
spur of the moment impulse.
He has been charged with
theft of a motor vehicle, &C
cording to Town Police Chief
Thomas E. Alsop.
Chief Alsop said the cruiser
had been parked in front of the
city's police headquarters at
3409 Rhode Island avenue while
a policeman was inside tipping
an accident report.
The youth, who told police he
had been drinking, said he
switched on the ignition by
hand. Wearing a police over
coat the youth said he found
on the rear seat, the boy avoided
detection during a drive to COL
lege Park, Chief Alsop said.
The boy was arrested last
night after police received re-
ports from his high school
classmates that he boosted of

BY a Star Staff Writer

RICHMOND, Feb. 20-A con-
troversial bill authorizing vol
untary sterilization operations
has been favorably reported to
the floor of the Virginia House
of Delegates for action.
BY a vote of II to S, the
House Courts of Justice Com
mittee gave its Endorsement to
the measure yesterday after
approving amendments which
eliminate authority for steril-
ization of juveniles except for
hereditary defects.
Voting against the bill in
committee were Delegat e S
James M. Thomson of Alex
andria, Harrison Mann of Ar
lington, Stanley Owens of Ma
nassas, Earl Brown of Lynch
burg and Toy D. Savage of
Norfolk.
AS it came from committee,
the bill makes it lawful for any
surgeon to perform a steriliza-
ton operation on receipt of a
request in writing submitted 80
days in advance.
Explanation Required
The operation would have to
be performed in an accredited
hospital after a full explana-
ton of the consequences of the
operation given the patient by
his physician.
Virginia at present has nc
law on sterilization operations
There are no laws in the Dis
trict or Maryland.
The bill removes any civil or
criminal liability from the
surgeon who performs the
operation, but leaves him sub
ject to the laws applicable to
negligence.
A Senate committee earlier
had killed two other bills re-
quiring sterilization of mothers
of two or more illegitimate
children before they could re-
ceive welfare assistance.
There were these other legis-
lative developments yesterday:
Legislation creating an Alex
andria Port Authority to COM
pete with a private firm plan
ming to supply jet aviation fuel
to Dulles International Airport
was introduced in the House of
Delegates and State Senate.
The Alexandria Ports Au-
thority measure was drafted
by Delegate James M. Thom-
son and an Identical bill was
offered by Senator Armistead
L. Boothe, both of Alexandria
Condemnation Angle
It would allow the Alexandria
City Council to set up a five
member authority, patterned
after the Norfolk Ports Au-
thority Act. Mr.. Thomson said
that due to last-minute prep
arations, the measure will be
amended to provide for pow
ers of condemnation.
1.-THE purpose is to build a
pipeline to Dulles international
Airport to furnish aviation
fuel" Mr.. Thomson said. 1T
would compete with the other
pipeline being planned from
Maryland"
Another bill by Senator
Charles R. Fenwick of Airing
ton, would permit members of
the patent bar association to
practice in Virginia without
becoming members of this
States bar, providing the
United States Patent Office
moves here.
Mr.. Fenwick, a Washington
patent lawyer, said the Patent
Office is seriously considering
a move to Fairfax County near
the Central Intelligence Agency
at Mclean.
The Senate passed and sent
to the House a bill by Senator
Fenwick authorizing the State
Highway Commission to con-
denim routes for divided high
ways and transfer the median
strip to railroads for rapid
transit commuter service.
