On Dec. 7 the Supreme Court
will hold a rehearing of argu
ments on the school segregation
question, one of the most contro
versial in the field of domestic
legislation. Five cases have been
filed attacking segregation ; on
the ground of race and color in
public sr.hools of South Carolina,
Virgin!. Delaware, Kansas and
the District of Columbia. They
were argued in December, 1952,
before the court, but last June
the court asked to have the cases
reargued. It propounded a series
of questions, chief of which were:
"1. Whether in ratifying the
14th Amendment Congress and
State Legislatures intended to
" abolish racial segregation.
"2. If it was not designed to
remove segregation immediately,
did the amendment open the way
for congressional or judicial
action in that field.
"3. If discontinuance of segre
gation is ordered, must admission
of Negroes to white schools, or
vice versa, be immediate, or can
the court permit a gradual adjust
ment, possibly involving return
of the cases to lower courts or
appointment of a special master
to suggest processes of adjust

behalf of the United States has
filed a lengthy brief supporting
the . plaintiffs in - their demand
that the court declare segregation
in public schools unconstitutional

Go to Hospital
YAKIMA m A chance meet-,,
Ing in a hotel lobby here Satur

by 100 dollars.
Parties to the encounter were
Van 0. Prichard, a commercial
fisherman from Lyons, Ore., and
T. L. McFeters, a Boise, Idaho,
vacationer.
McFeters had been looking for
Prichard since last Tuesday when
the Oregon man plunged off a Se
attle wharf to rescue McFeters 5
year old son, Charles, after the
boy fell into the water.
Prichard pulled the youngster to
safety and applied artificial respi
ration. Once the boy was breath
ing, the rescuer disappeared be
fore McFeters could -. learn his
name.
Prichard dropped on the docks
a bus ticket to Yakima. On that
meager clue, McFeters came here
Saturday and finally found Prich
ard in the hotel lobby.
McFeters offered 100 dollars to
Prichard, but the Oregon man re
fused the reward- for himself; he
told McFeters to give the money to

said he wanted to review the
board's findings on the subject
At Public Meetings
After mentioning that the or
der was- promulgated at a special
unscheduled meeting of the board
held last Tuesday night Governor
Patterson said, "It is my belief
that decisions affecting the rights
of the public in all matters should
only be made at open public
meetings, in order that everyone
can be fully advised concerning
such decisions and reasons there
for." Governor , Patterson said it is
very important that the people be
fully advised in this particular
matter involving the milk mar
keting act, as to the conditions
leading to and the reasons for the
order.
Asks Hearing
, "I think all persons desiring
to be heard should be given an
opportunity to do so before any
order becomes effective," Gov
ernor Patterson said.
The governor closed the letter
with the request for suspension
of the order and said in the in
terim he would appreciate being
permitted to review the findings
of the board in the matter.
'After this hearing and review
a full and detailed report should
be given of any future action on
this matter," Governor Patterson

TEHRAN, Iran Ex-Premier
Mohammed Messadegh de
clared himself on a hunger strike
Saturday-as the court-martial try
ing him on treason charges tried
to head off what looked like his
attempt at a filibuster.
The aged nationalist shouted at
the court:
"111 be dead in three days.
From tonight onwards I'll not eat
anything. With the help of God
I'll be dead."
The outburst followed moves to
limit Mossadegh to discussing the
only point then at issue why he
gave an order for pulling down
statues of the former Shah last
August The order allegedly was
given Aug. 17, two days before
pro-royalist forces swept Mossa
degh from power. ;
Mossadegh said Saturday it was
the Communists who pulled down
the statues of the Reza Shah, the
present monarch s father.
The ousted Premier added, how
ever, "if I replaced the statues, I
rould spoil the prestige of the
nation because the Reza Shah was
bought by the British."
"Down with Mossadegh. Death
to Mossadegh," court spectators
screamed.
Mossadegh staged an overnight
nunger strue two months , ago
and won his demands for richer
prison fare.

Europe
Union Set
By JOSEPH E. DYNAN
iTHE HAGUE If) The foreign
ministers of six west European
nations, taking a long stride to
ward confederation, called Satur
day for formulation of a complete
"European community" treaty
within the next four months.
The treaty is envisaged as a
platform for the eventual political,
economic and military integration
of France, West Germany, Italy,
Belgium, the Netherlands and
Luxembourg.
The foreign ministers instructed
their deputies to write the text of
a community constitution by
March 13 and submit it to a new
ministerial meeting in Brussels
March 30.
In their final communique "of
the three-day session, the minis
ters stressed their decision to
place the future of European union
in the hands of the electorate as
soon as the projected treaty is put
into effect.
This would be done through di
rect popular elections to fill the
lower house of the proposed com
munity's common . international
parliament.
The ministers set their economic
sights on the creation of a single
wide trading area in which goods,
services, persons and capital could
move freely. The goals included
full convertibility of currencies,
removal of quota restrictions, and
gradual elimination' of tariffs be
tween the six member-states.

Reds Scorn
Korea Peace
Parley Plan
PANMUNJOM. Sunday tf) The
Reds Saturday scornfully rejected
as of "no merit a . conciliatory
U. N. 12-point package plan to set
up a Korean peace conference and
said they would counter with their
own offer Monday.
The dragging talks go Into their
sixth week although -U. S. envoy
Arthur H. Dean once said he would
give the Reds three to make up
their minds. He told them:
"We can sit here until you break
off the talks. We are very patient."
The stalling Reds also balked
when prodded to resume explana
tions to more than 22,000 anti-Red
Chinese and North Korean prison,

Stung by refusal, of 97 per cent
of those questioned so -far to re
turn to Communism, the Reds
have interviewed no prisoners
since Nov. 16 although the dead
line for the explanations to end is
Dec. 23.
Chief points In the rejected U.S.
12-point plan to get the Korean
peace conference - started were
that neutrals be seated as "non

Ideas on Big 4
Conference
WASHINGTON l The United
States, Britain and France have
begun exchanging ideas on Rus
sia's Big Four conference bid
which officials now regard as the
opening gun in a Soviet drive to
kill off the planned European de
fense army. .
Secretary of State Dulles ex
pects to confer with President Eis
enhower Monday when the chief
executive returns to his desjc from
nis Augusta, Ga.. holiday. Firm
decisions on U. S. policy toward
the newest Soviet move may be
made at that time.
The Russian drive appears to be
of such a determined nature and
on so broad a front that only solid
unity on the part of the Western
Allies can effectively stand against
it- in protection of Western defense
plans, diplomats said.
The hardening of such a front
will be the major task of the meet
ing which Eisenhower, Prime Min
ister Churchill and French Pre
mier Laniel will open at Bermuda,
together with their foreign mini
sters, next Friday.
But officials reported that al
ready the - message exchange
among the American.- British and
French . foreign offices shows
close agreement of views on the
essential nature and direction of
the unfolding Soviet - campaign.
This agreement, it was said, gives
good promise of success at Ber
muda. State - Department officials said
that appearances of division in in
itial reaction to Russia i Big Four
conference proposal are now being
discounted here and it is hoped
that in the end such appearances
will amount to nothing. '
Britain welcomed Russia s note
of Thursday night as acceptance
of Western proposal for a Big Four
meeting on Germany; the French
government took the line that it
might mean the beginning of a
happer climate in diplomatic rela
tions with Russia, the United
States called it a diplomatic re
treat aimed at stalling Western
defense plans notably the Euro
pean Defense Community which
France still, has jot approved.

Brings Morale
Problem to AF
WASHINGTON OB A service-
wide morale problem is developing
for. the Air Force out of the cases
of fliers who were captured . and
tortured by the Reds in Korea to
compel false confessions. '
Although Air Force officials are
reluctant to talk openly yet about
the difficult and delicate problem,
it was learned Saturday that there
is profound concern about the im
pact of the cases on USAF person
nel in general as well as w the
former prisoners of war. "
Many airmen are reported won
dering what .would happen to their
careers in the Air Force if, in a
future war,' they were captured
and were unable to hold out
against torture.
Among the proposals being con
sidered, but on which top officials
have not decided yet, are these:
1. Make it known not only to
USAF airmen but the world in gen
eral that crews of American bomb
ers and fighters are in possession
of no information of real military
use to an enemy.
1. Provide air crews of planes
which" would fly over enemy terri
tory only the bare, essential in
formation needed for a particular
mission. ' -. r
3. Amend the ancient regulation
(which has its source in' the inter
national rules of .land warfare)
that a - prisoner shall give, even
under compulsion, only his name,
rank and serial number. :
The theory is that if a man has
no information of value to an ene
my he should not be bound by
'rule. which can be seized upon as
an excuse for torture methods.
Molotov was present during' the
Interview. So was the British Em
bassy.s first secretary, Thomas
