The showdown Dears on Integra

Monday the Supreme Court reject
ed an appeal from the decision of
District Judge Albert V. Bryan of
Alexandria that seven Negroes be
admitted to present white schools
in Arlington County. This is in a
county where many of the inhab
itants work for the federal govern
ment, either in the District of Co
lumbia which is just across the
Potomac, or at the Pentagon and
other federal' installations on the
Virginia side. It is by no means
the "deep South." Left alone the
districts doubtless would comply
with the court order. However
Virginia, pursuing a policy of
"massive resistance" has passed
. a law which orders closure of pub
lic schools wherever integration
takes place. If they try to operate
on a desegregated basis state aid
will be cut off. A, similar test
looms in Prince Edward County,
Virginia.
Some states have made plans to
set up private -schools on a segre
gated basis, using churches or oth
er available buildings for holding
school. Without support of public
tax money these schools would not
reach all the children for parents
of many would be too poor to pay
the tuition, and some would be in

"schooling" for their . youngsters.
Few communities can support

trainer was found in the wreck
age. The lone survivor, Capt. Julius
R. McCoy of Baltimore, a Jull

the 104th Fighter Group of the
Maryland Air National Guard,
parachuted to safety.
At Frederick Memorial Hospital,
his hands bandaged for second de

McCoy smoked a cigarette and
told newsmen about his experi

we were cruising at about 8,000

I see another plane. The next

an explosion.
'Flames All Around'
"I don't know how I got out of
the plane or how my chute

the plane with flames'all around
me.
McCoy said he drifted into
tree in his parachute, climbed to
the ground and walked to a farm
house about IVt miles away, ask

McCoy's face, red and black and
and blue from burns, contrasted
with the white bandages wrapped
around his hands. Tired but in
good spirits, he was transferred
to the U.S. Public Health Hospi

was not serious. s
The second occupant of the jet
trainer was identified as Pfc. Don

reportedly was a member of the
group's ground crew.
Investigation Planned
In Washington, the Air National
Guard Bureau convened an acci

of Maryland Air National Guard

It was the third crash between
military and passenger planes
tnis year.
The Viscount left Chicago with
34 passengers, but most of them
debarked at Pittsburgh. It was

miles west of this railroad town
and about SO miles northwest of

It was the second major acci

Capital Viscount crashed on land

WASHINGTON tfl - Two con

Tuesday as a result of the air col

Sen. Mike Monroney (D-Okla)
told the Senate: "This points up
again with tragic clarity the ur

air space, with both military and
civilian planes under one direc

Monroney announced an avia

Authority
Bolstered
PARIS Wl Premier Pierre
Pflimlin Tuesday night bolstered
his hand at the helm of France
with a ringing parliamentary
triumph over the challenging but
numerically thin forces of Gen.
Charles de Gaulle. .
The National Assembly voted
Pflimlin special emergency pow

But paradoxically Algeria re
mained in the firm grip of military-colonialist
forces, opposed to
the Pflimlin government.
And the military commander at
Algiers dictator over the whole
great French North African region
got a new endorsement of faith
from Pflimlin.
Thus the French on the Euro
pean side of the Mediterranean
were firmly under civil and quasi
military control of the Paris gov
ernment. The French across the sea in
North Africa were in rebellion
against Paris and in the midst of
the 3V4-year-old Algerian National
ist rebellion also against Paris
rule.
The Assembly vote was 475 to
100. It was the Premier's best
showing yet In a busy and turbu

In effect the vote provided the

From the hush-hush, it would
appear the plane was on a vital
military mission for which secrecy
was essential.
From what The Statesman
learned from its own sources, the
plane was checking the instrument
landing equipment at the field.
Ambulance Not Needed
The twin-engined Beechcraft,
carryed the designation of the U.S.
Department of Commerce.
Ambulances . and fire engines
were called to the field but weren't
needed. How badly damaged the
plane was remained to be de
termined. So did why the wheels
weren t down on landing.
Added details uncovered hours
after the crash from other sources
showed the pilot to be Farris, E.
Bowen, co-pilot and Robert Switzer,
radio operator, all of Seattle.
R. E. Groh, 1130 Chemeketa St.
NE, said he saw the plane coming
in with wheels up. He said it
skidded for about 500 yards before
coming to a stop on the runway.
The $50,000 plane is equipped to
check radio and navigation facil
ities for accuracy for airlines and
private airfields, according to one
olticial source.
Similar to Other Crashes
This same official said there have
been a number of similar crashes
with this type of craft. He added,
sometimes it's pilot error and other
times failure of the landing gear
to function.
Leo H. (Ace) Demars, owner of
Ace Flying Service at McNary
Field, said he saw the plane ap
proach the landing strip with the
wheels up. Before the plane belly
landed, airport employes notified
Salem emergency equipment and
then rushed to the scene with fire
extinguishers.
CAA offiicals will be in Salem
today to make an investigation,
they said.

Willamette Ambulance Submits Plan
To Operate City's First Aid Service
Willamette Ambulance Service
put in writing Tuesday its proposal
to take over the city first aid serv
ice on a contract basis.
The private company's plan,
which aroused hot opposition from
the city first aidmen when it be
came known two weeks ago, will
now go before the City Council
next Monday. Mayor Robert F.
White received the letter from J.
Harold Brown, operator of the am
bulance service, Tuesday morning.
Brown maintained in the letter
he could operate the first aid serv
ice for "about half" what it now
costs the city. He didn't give a
firm figure as he also suggested
the city submit the matter to bids.
But Brown estimated the first
aid service costs the city $36,000
now.
This figure is open to question
because the new city budget now
under consideration shows first aid
expenditures at $17,000 this year
and a proposed $17,882 for the year
to start July 1. Brown has main
tained other first aid costs can be
found elsewhere in the fire depart
ment's overall budget:
Willamette Ambulance's propos
al included these points: City
would eliminate first aid car
(Brown offers to buy it); city con
tract with ambulance service for
all first aid services; no charge
would be made to individuals giv
en first aid unless ambulance
transportation of the individual was
necessary; Willamette would add
an additional ambulance crew to
handle the first aid work.
Fire Chief Robert Mills took a
dim view of Brown's proposal. Al
though emphasizing he couldn't
speak for city policy-makers," the
veteran fireman said: "In my opin
ion the first aid car is a citizen
project and should be left in
charge of the city of Salem."
Mills said he didn't know how
Brown arrived at his $36,000 figure
for first aid costs annually.
Mills said the firemen drivers
are regularly assigned to fire com
panies and go on first aid runs only
when they are not heeded , in fire
emergencies or any other fire de
partment duties.
demands," he declared.
The opposition has warned that
the bloody turmoil which has
shaken Lebanon for 11 days will
continue until President Camilla
Chamoun resigns. About 200 per
sons have been killed.
Raymond Edde, a prominent
political leader, stepped in as a
mediator to seek a compromise.
He met with Salam, Tripoli op
position chief Raschid Karami and
others opposed to the govern
ment. Gen. Faud Chehab, the
army chief of staff, also sat in. .
The compromise plan reportedly
proposed by Edde called for for
mation of a neutral government
headed by Gen. Chehab. Chamoun
would serve until the end of his
six-year term Sept. 23, but tho
constitution would not be amended
to allow him to succeed himself.
Opposition leaders, fearing Cha
moun will seek another term, have
demanded his immediate resigna

forces. The U. A. R. denied
