U.S.Court Rules Bus Bans Void Segregation Laws Judged Invalid In Alabama WASHINGTON w - The Su preme Court Tuesday upheld a decision holding unconstitutional Alabama State and Montgomery. Ala., laws requiring racial segre eation on buses. The decision, by a special three judge U.S. District Court in Mont gomery, was appealed by the city's Board of Commissioners and by the Alabama Public Serv ice Commission. Each filed sep arate appeals. Unanimous Decision Tuesday's Supreme Court action was unanimous. At Montgomery, there was no immediate word on what course city officials will pursue as to city bus Jines operations. The high tribunal issued a brief order which said "the motion to affirm is granted and the judg ment is affirmed." The order cited the Supreme Court's 1954 decision in the public school segregation cases and two later orders striking down race segregation in public parks and public golf links. The special court had ruled that enforced segregation on Mont gomery buses violates the Feder al Constitution's guarantees of due process and equal protection of law. No Doubt on Issue By affirming the special court decision the Supreme Court left no doubt that it was outlawing racial segregation on all bus sys tems. Some questions had arisen ear lier this year when the high trib unal simply dismissed an appeal from another decision overturning a South Carolina segregation law. That left the decision in effect but led to confusion as to the Su preme Court's intent. Tuesday's , order ends the con fusion. - Sheppard Denied Review In other-actions Tuesday the tribunal: 1.

Apparently no one was injured in the blast which rocked this Ohio River city of about 10,000 population. During the height of the fire, flames shot 200 feet into the air and for a time burning gasoline and oil threatened to flow into the Ohio River. Families in 12 nearby homes were evacuated.

URGES SHOTS FOR Salk Sights 1957 Conquest of Polio ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. -Few if any Americans would be paralyzed by polio in 1957 if most of us up to 50 took polio shots, Dr. Jonas E. Salk predicted Tues day. The Pittsburgh scientist made the guarded forecast on the basis of latest findings about the ef fectiveness of his polio vaccine. He also announced a discovery which may eliminate the need to import thousands of monkeys each year from India in order lo make and test balk vaccine. In a speech prepared for the American Public Health Assn., Salk summed up evidence that the vaccine shots, properly made and spaced, can produce long lasting immunity. Polio hits adults ss well as chil dren, he said. One-fourth of cases now occur in adults aged 30 to 40. To best prevent Ihe chain of in fection , and paralysis, adult should also take the thrt shots, h laid.

Photo) - Control Board Hikes State Doctors' Wages $60 a Month Raise Granted; $30 lo Assistants By JAMES D. OLSON Capital Journal Writer An emergency $60 a month in crease for physicians employed in state mental and tuberculosis hos pitals was approved Tuesday by members of the state board of con trol. An additional $30 was voted for assistant superintendents of these institutions which include the Ore gon State hospital, Fairview home, State Tuberculosis hospital and the Eastern Oregon state hospital and Easterif Oregon tuberculosis hos pital. Raises Claimed Necessary Charles W. Terry, civil service director, who prepared the sched ule of increases alter consultation with the hospital superintendents and the finance department, told Ike Hasn't Any Vaealioii Plans WASHINGTON (UP) The White House said today that Pres ident Eisenhower has no plans at present for a vacation. Press Secretary James C. Hag erty described as not true a re port that Mr. Eisenhower planned lo go to the Augusta National Oolf Club this week for a vaca tion. ADULTS Salk said the, evidence all indi cated "there need be little, if any, Daralvtic polio in the United States in 1357 if all who are po tentially susceptible are treated with vaccine that is now avail able." One great new promise is that vaccine may be produced without having to import thousands of monkeys, Salk said. Monkey kidneys are used as the cells on which to grow and har vest crops of living virus for the vaccine. These viruses then are carefully killed to make the safe vaccine. But Miss Elsie Ward of Salk's laboratory has discovered a new strain of cells first grown from monkey heart cells These cells keep growing indefinitely. Salk said these heart cells ap parently could supply enough cells to create the harvests of virus to make millions of shots of vaccine, and also supply test cells to make iui till Ticdtit Is late. Interest L II I I I the board the salary boosts were necessary lo retain the present staff and also to recruit new phy sicians sorely needed in some of Ihe hospitals. Terry said considering the main tenance provided the Oregon doc tors, the 'salaries on the schedule are comparable lo those paid in California and somewhat below those offered in Washington insti tutions. The new pay schedule was made retroactive to September I. When it was discovered that the increases granted would give some staff members more salary than that paid the superintendents, the board decided to eliminate the $75 subsistence charge made against the superintendents, thus placing the superintendents' gross salaries slightly above the staff members. Some weeks ago at a meeting between members of the board and institutional superintendents, Dr. Dean Brooks, superintendent of the stale hospital, said that he was unable to' keep members of his medical stall with the salaries paid at that time. Study Requested Terry was asked at that time to make a thorough study and return with recommendations. Members of the board broke into its study of institutional budgets to receive the report covering the salaries. Gov. Elmo Smith said the in creases were necessary in fairness to the doctors who had stayed with Ihe state despite higher salary of fers from Ihe outside and to make possible recruiting of additions to tiie staff when necessary. The board expects to conclude its budget study by Thursday after which it will formulate a tentative state building program for submis sion to the 1957 legislature. 'Dick' Praises Refugee Entry PORTLAND (UPl-Scn. Richard L. Neubergcr 'D-Ore.l today ex pressed lull support for President Eisenhower's action to admit 5000 Hungarian refugees to the United States. The Portland Democrat said he would introduce and support legis lation in the Senate to ratify the admittance of the refugees from Soviet aggression in Hungary. Neuberger wired the President that this country "has long stood as a symbol of freedom to the world and has been a home of those who have fled from oppres sion, tyranny and dictatorship and the beacon of American freedom must shine bright to all peoples in the world." IKE TO MEET PRESS WASHINGTON HT-Preident Eisenhower will hold news con ference at 7:30 a m. PST Wednes day. It will be his first since Oct. 11. Hungary FolkStay On Strike KlirnshchevTakes Hand in Trying For Order VIENNA Ml The Hungarians carried on a gigantic passive pro test today against the Iheft of their freedom, ignoring cold, hun ger and the massed might of the Russian army. Only a handful of bitler-end reb els still fought on against the tanks and guns of 200,000 Soviet troops. But the destruction of their homes and defeat of those who sought to fight off the invaders with meager arms failed to stem Hungarian defiance of the Soviets and their puppet government. Cling to Strike The nation clung grimly to a general strike. Alternate back-to- work pleas and threats from ihe Soviet-imposed rogimeof Premier Janos Kadar were Ignored. Usually reliable quarters in Bu dapest reported that a delegation of top Soviet officials headed by Communist Party Secretary Niki- ta Khrushchev was in the Hun garian capital seeking a means to end the resistance and shore up Kadar's regime. M. A. Suslov and A. I. Miko- yan, the Kremlin's chief satellite trouble-shooters, also were report ed in the delegation. Most Hungarians refused to ac cept the Kadar regime because it was installed by Russian tanks. Leaflets Exhort People Associated Press correspondent Endre Marton said leaflets were passed out in the streets exhort ing the population: The leaflets, signed by "The Hungarian Youth Which Goes on Fighting." called for withdrawal of alien forces from Hungary and the return of the Imre Nagy gov ernment that had acceded to the rebel demands for freedom at the outset of the revolt.

The committee quickly rejected Soviet move to have the Hun garian delegate invited to take part in the procedural discussion. u.

N. observers moved into the Suez Canal Zone no-man'a-lnnd Tuesday to watch over the , cease-fire between French-British' and Egyptian forces. f. But the departure of the first U. N. police units for Egypt was postponed. U. N. spokesmen said the reason was "flight times and : schedules." At the same time," however, a major dispute over Egypt's terms for admission of the police force 'appeared to be developing. Egypt consented to receive the U, N. observers several days ago. Her agreement to the police force was announced only Monday by U. N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold. Land at Port Said The 12-man observer team, In cluding Norwegians, Swedes, Danes and Australians; landed at Port Said in the British-French occupied sector of the Canal Zone from a landing ship which had. picked them up at Haifa. They had been part of the U. N. corps of truce observers in Palestine. - The postponement of the police airlift until Wednesday at least was announced by U.N. spokes men at Capodtcmno, Italy, where the 180-man vanguard of the in-. ternational army is waiting.
