However, in none of the states is the signi ficance of the Court's ruling mis sed. In all of them it has precipi tated a great deal of discussion. Perhaps the remarkable thing is the general calm which followed the handing down of the decision. There was a great deal of protest and some subsequent action to avoid the consequence of the rul ing; but on the whole the South has reacted quite soberly though that doesn't mean that segrega tion will be abandoned readily, not at alL , () Some states, to be sure, have taken steps to permit abolition of public schools : among them South Carolina, Georgia and Mis sissippi.

L) I , French Chief Outlines West Army Plan STRASBOURG: France MB French Premier Pierre Mendes France Monday outlined plans for a treaty to rearm West Germany in Western defense which he said could be signed and ratified before the year's end. The plan, which Mendes-France outlined to the European Consulta tive Assembly here, would tie West Germany in a tight European al liance including , Britain before there is any step to add rearmed Germans to NATO's ranks. The main points of Mendes- France 's plan to plug j the breech left by the French-killed EDC uni fied army proposal are: L.Any pact calling on West Ger many and France to unite to pro vide troops j for common defense must include Britain as a full part ner. The basis for the new alliance would be the 1948 Brussels pact 2. Top limits would be fixed on fighting forces of West Germany and other members of the alliance. 3. Construction of arms factories and ! arms production .would be strictly supervised and controlled. 4. , The new alliance would be tied ! closely to NATO. Mendes- France said this would reduce French resistance to - West Ger many's entry into NATO. 5. Quick drafting of a treaty of only 20 to 23 articles to carry out the plan. The Premies predicted the ! job could be done within a month, with the member countries ratifying the treaty before the end of this year. , Spider Safe But Not Foot VANCOUVER. Wash.

Die Regime to Continue Ban on Federal-Built Northwest Dams By A. ROBERT SMITH Statesman Correspondent WASHINGTON The Eisen hower administration will contin ue its "no new starts" policy of deferring new federally b u i 1 1 dams in the Pacific Northwest and elsewhere for at least anoth er year, according to instructions now being passed out to govern ment' agencies by the Bureau of the Budget , 1 ; The instructions are for the strict guidance of federal agencies that are now drafting their bud get requests for the coming fiscal year upon which President Eisen hower will base his annual budget message to Congress in January. As is customary, the Budget Bu reau is riding herd on each agen cy to keep the total federal bud get as low as possible. !. Tonga Instructions With another budgetary deficit staring the Bureau in the face for the current fiscal year, estimated last week to hit about $4.7 billion in the red, tough instructions have been issued which, unless relaxed in the next few months as a result of unforseen circum stances, will speU approximately the following message for the Pa cific Northwest: .

I ;! Tinkham Gilbert Salem, vice president of the' bank, said ! 1.200 square feet of space had been leased in the Griffin Building at 320 N. Church St, directly across the proposed; new building. Gilbert said 'preliminary plans for the new' structure had been approved and they were now wait ing for Working drawings from the Bank Building Corporation of St Louis before calling for bids. The one - story , and ' basement building j will be constructed of reinforced concrete with brick veneer. It will rise on the north west corner of Church end Chem eketa where the Shrock Used Car lot is now located. Plans for use of the temporary quarters will go ahead as soon as approval; of A. A. Rogers, state superintendent of banks, and of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in Washington, D.C is received. Application for use of the quarters has already been submitted, Gilbert said, and ap proval seems certain. The bank corporation, formed in April with an initial capital of $235,000, will be located in the temporary quarters for about six months at which time it is expect ed the new building will be com pleted.

Labor, face to face, of i unfair political' opposition to the Eisen hower I administration. Mitchell bluntly told delegates to the 10-million-member labor organ ization's annual convention that the AFL would make more progress in achieving its aims if it were not so unyieldingly critical oLthe GOP. President Eisenhower's I labor secretary said in remarks pre pared for the convention's after noon session that be agreed with the political ' philosophy of the AFL's late founder, Samuel Gomp ers, that labor should "reward its friends 'and oppose its enemies. "It is difficult! to see, however,' Mitchell said, fhow that philoso phy is being applied when criticism of an administration is all encom passing and takes no note of its intentions or accomplishments. . . "In the past 20 months we have accomplished much for the! work ing men and women of America and I can pledge to you that we will continue to I do so. - I AFL President George Meahy, in a keynote address morning open ing the convention, seemed to ai ticipate Mitchell's charge of politi cal bias against the GOP by! assert ing that the AFL was tied to neither major party. j "We are not going to be the tail to the Democratic kite or the Re publican kite," Meany said. "We are going ahead under the Gomp ers philosophy by any method un der which we' fed, we can make progress. i - OuijaBoard9 'Copter Seek ion FORT WORTH W-Ouija boards and helicopters I went to work Mon day in Fort Worth's great snake hunt. i I .

Gen. Brownell Monday announced that a special grand jury in Washington Will investigate possible "bribery and other criminal conduct in the federal housing program." i . He also disclosed plans for na tionwide action, saying: "Warren Olney III, head of the Department of Justice's Criminal Division, will this week call upon United States attorneys in all other districts of the ' nation to present to grand juries as soon as material is available full testimony concern ing criminal conduct uncovered by the administration's investigation in their districts." Unfolding Story ' : i Brownell's action was the latest chapter in the unfolding story of how many promoters and others pocketed huge profits on rental housing under the Federal Housing Administration. Brownell tossed some brickbats at the Truman administration in his announcement; saying of the FHA: ! "The huge federal agency upon which the nation depended for stimulating home building and housing construction became rid dled with corruption under the pri or administration.". Also, Brownell specified that in the District of Columbia grand jury proceedings, U. S. Atty. Leo A. Rover would present evidence of the activities of Clyde L. Powell. 'Arrest Record' He said Powell, who resigned last April about the time the housing scandals came to light, "rose to assistant commissioner (of the FHA) despite knowledge of the former administration of an arrest record, including conviction for jewel theft" . ) I "While assistant commissioner," Brownell said, "Powell had charge of the. .rental housing program which operated from 1946 to 1950. "This program resulted in wind falls to speculators exceeding 51 million dollars alone in the 285 cases reviewed by the special in vestigations office set up by the present administration in FHA.

Although long at odds with the Reed jfaculty, Ballantine apparent ly was referring to the House Un American Activities Committee's hearings in June as the "circum stances." - -I 1 -.

The educator also has had dif ferences with student councils, which have supported faculty op position to Ballantine's efforts to change traditional policies." i Referring .to J this, , Ballantine said: ' : '.-" I . "My reasons (for resigning) are many, but apart from my personal desires I find the resistance to change in the' status quo are too deep-seated to bring about those changes which I believe are neces sary for the future of the college.

Two Alabama Builders Also Implicated INDIANAPOLIS w Witnesses to a Senate committee hearing Monday' named U. S. Sen. John L Sparkman of Alabama as the ru- -mored source of "influence' in Washington for Federal Housing Administration approval of mort gages which gave nearly 24 mil- - lion dollars in "windfalls" profits to two Alabama promoters. The surprise naming of the 1932 Democratic vice presidential nomi nee came as the Senate Banking committee headed by Sen. Homer - E. Caphart (R-Ind) opened hear- ings into operations of Marvin L." Warner and Joseph H. Kanter. The two men, starting in Bir mingham', Ala., in 1947, have ouilt ana sun own 12 apartment house : projects six in Birmingham, three in Cincinnati, two in St. Louis and one in Indianapolis, i :. William Simon, committee chief' counsel, said Warnef and Kanter got the FHA to underwrite mort gages totaling $24,435,932 on the 12 projects. Actual cost of building them; Simon said, was $21,964,860, yielding a windfall profit of $2,471, 072. .,' : : . : Name Brought Up Sparkman S name was brought up in testimony by James Swan, former acting evaluator for the In- . diana FHA office. - Swan said I the late R. Earl Pe- ters, then state FHA administrator. opposed granting FHA sanction to a mortgage of nearly 3V. million dollars sought by Warner and Kan ter to build the Essex House apart ments here. Pressure from Washington' was given by Swan as the reason Peters finally approved the mort gage.' Under questioning he then said V was common knowledge in the state FHA office that Spark man was applying the pressure but that as far as I know it was strict ly hearsay." ' r - , I ' Sparkman is in Europe and could not be reached for comment. In Washington his secretary, Ed H. Hyde, said: Vl .-.. Influence' ,We never exerted any pressure or influence in behalf of anyone." .Hyde added, though, that "We know Marvin Warner and Joe Kan ter" and that his office had con tacted the FHA on occasion to make appointments for them. He said his office had done the same; for other Alabama builders. "That is normal practice in this office and in every other senator's office," Hyde said.. "It was strictly a constituent-senator relationship." Warner, while on the ttand him self, denied he had ever discussed the ' Indianapolis project with Sparkman. ' Capehart told a newsman later the committee had no evidence in volving Sparkman in the alleged pressure beyond the testimony by witnesses at the hearings that Sparkman's name was the .one mentioned when the subject was discussed in the state FHA office. Swan's testimony that Spark- man's name figured in reports of influence for granting one loan was corroborated in part by Patrick J. Smith, Indianapolis attorney who represented an Indianapolis con tractor,. Leslie Colvin. Smith said on the stand Warner boasted to him, as a means i a removing Smith's objections to on deal, that Sparkman was backacg the FHA application. U. S. Ready to Halt Entry of China to U.N.
