Howard Bans
First Sorority
For rHuzinq

Howard University has Sc
vered connections with q Greek
letter organization for the first
time in its history. The univer-
sity banned Alpha Chapter Of
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority
from the campus for four years.
The chapter already was
under 18-months suspension
for physically mistreating 10
pledges when the university
wide Committee on Student
Organizations and Activities
voted unanimously to ban the
sorority last Wednesday. Uuder
terms of the ban, the chapter
cannot apply for recognition on
the campus before September,
1868. The national sorority
was founded on the Howard
campus in 1908.
Armour ]. Blackburn, Dean
Of Students at Howard, ex-
planned that UCSOA banned
the sorority after Mrs. Marjorie
Parker, AKA national president,
initiated 35 pledges Of the chap
ter, but none of the 10 students
who had complained about the
abusive hazing. The initiation
ceremonies were April is.
At a meeting OF. the UCSOA
executive committee on April
5, the 10 women repeatedly
substantiated the charges of
abusive physical treatment dur
ing pledging. Mrs. Parker and
members Of the sorority attend
ed that meeting.
When the suspension was
voted, the sorority was told it
could proceed with its initia-
ton, but that if any of the
pledges were initiated, the 10
women who had complained
about their physical treatment
would have to be initiated too
The failure of the sorority to
initiate the 10 complaintants
caused the UCSOA to recon-
slider the case and vote to with
draw university recognition o1
the sorority.
The IS faculty members ano
student leaders of UCSOA are
empowered to act for the uni
versity in such matters.
The university declined tc
disclose the specific charges oi
physical abuse repeatedly suf.
fered by the pledges.

Fairfax Board
HearsAppeaIs
On Placement

The Fairfax County School
Board. which refused earlier to
hear the appeals Of 81 Negro
children denied admission to
integrated schools. changed its
mind and heard the appeals
last night.
Attorneys for the children
told the board at a special, un-
announced session that the
Negro children were being dis
eliminated against and that
white children in similar situa-
tons had been assigned to
white schools.
Board members, who had an
nounced earlier that they would
not hear direct appeals, de-
cided to hear them after school
administrators pointed out
that State law requires it.
At the conclusion Of the two
hour hearing the board ad-
journed without acting. Board
Chairman Theodore Heriot said
! a decision would be reached
"in the immediate future"
All 81 children had applied
to enter integrated or all-white
schools but were rejected be-
cause they lived closer to Negro
schools.
But Attorneys Otto L. Tucker
and Allison Brown argued that
white children living near the
Negro students were sent to
white schools.
That, they said, meant the
board was discriminating
against the Negroes in treating
their applications.

1868 Recession
Is Less Likely,
Survey indicates

NEW YORK, Nov. Is (AP)
The chances of avoiding a
recession early next year look
a little better now than they
did four to six weeks ago, the
Morgan Guaranty Trust Co.
believes.
The bank. one of the city's
largest, said in its monthly
economic survey that the
change in outlook resulted
from a moderate Frightening
of business news as we'll as the
Cuban episode.
Among the brighter business
factors it mentioned were a
burst of auto buying in Octo-
Der which cut new car inven-
tories, late surveys of business
mems capital spending plans,
improvement in the unemploy-
ment rate and what it called
the more optimistic view of
prospects taken by the stock
market.
THE stimulus that would
result from tax reductions is
clearly the economy's best hope
for launching a new upward
movement" the bank said.

He pointed out that the 1862
Revenue Act abolished the So
called Conan Rule which al

amounts of expense where
there was evidence of an ex-

amount.
Taxpayers now are required

New ARC Suit Is Filed
As Dealings Resume

Three New York stockholders
of the Atlantic Research Corp.
filed a suit in Federal District
Court in Alexandria, Va. today,
which accused ARC directors
of manipulating the stock market
in violation of the Securities
Act of 1884 to make personal
profits from the sale of ARC
common stock.
The action, second of this
weeks, was brought by Herbert
! C. and Sarah Sterenstein, who
jointly hold 200 shares of ARC
common stock, and Joseph M.
Newmark, owner of 300 shares.
The brief explains this is a
derivative action but for
the benefit of Atlantic" and is
not intended to be "collusive"
or to confer upon the court
improper jurisdiction.
Dealings Resumed
In the meantime, the Securi-
ties and Exchange Commits
sion's suspension of dealings in
ARC stock since October 10
ended at the opening of the
American Stock Exchange this
morning when a block of $500
shares moved at 1919.
The price then edge higher
and a short suspension of trad
ing was necessary to match
orders.
On resumption Of trading
the price moved on to 145s and
then to 1872 before falling back
to 1874 around l pm. The last
sale of the stock prior to sus-
pension of trading on october
10 was for 231a.
The new suit filed today
alleges that on or about April
20, 1860, directors entered into
loan arrangements with Texas
Capital Investments, Inc, and
the Pine Ridge Corp for at
least So million.
The purpose, alleged the suit, |
was to enhance the stock mar
ket value of ARC shares held |
by ARC directors and to create |
actual or apparent market "ac-
tivity" designed to induce 9TH
ers to buy and hold the stock.
Such agreements were not |
related to the purpose of the |
business of Atlantic and Allan
tic was not authorized to enter
into such agreements" the suit
says. These agreements violate
the Securities Act, it claims.
Repayment Asked
The suit further alleges that
James M. Johnston, a director
Of ARC, purchased and sold
and sold and purchased within .
a period of less than six months
substantial amounts of the
common stock of Atlantic" at .
a profit resulting from the
earlier alleged manipulations.
The suit says the directors
and officers of ARC violated
their fiduciary duty to Atlantic
in so diverting the assets" /
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-11-16

For relief the suit asks the
Federal court to grant full re-
payment to Atlantic of the
diverted assets, an award to
Atlantic of the profits alleged
ly made by the directors
through the sale of overpriced
stock, appointment of a re-
ceiver to assume management
control Of ARC until "compe-
tent and trustworthy manage
ment" can be chosen by the
stockholders, and, lastly, what
ever further relief the court
would consider proper.
The suit says Directors Arch
c. Scurlock and Arthur w.
Sloan own 40 per cent of ARC
common stock and therefore
dominate and control "the bus
mess and affairs the selec-
ton and election of all direc-
tors and officers" of ARC.

Officers of both American Mo-

proval today with the first pay

American Motors funneled
$9.766,907 into the profit-shar-

On top of this, American Mo-

still made a net profit of S34,-
240,621, or $1.85 per share, for
its fiscal year which ended
