Segregation of
Railroad, Bus
Riders Unlawful
Washington (U.P.) The In
terstate Commerce Commission
ruled today that racial segrega
tion of interstate railroad and
bug passengers is unlawful.
The ICC held that segregation
of Negro passengers subjects
them to "undue and unreason
able prejudice and disadvant
age" in violation of the inter
state commerce act.
Ruling Made in Two Cases
"The disadvantage to a travel
er who is assigned accomoda
tions or facilities so designated
as to imply his inherent infer
iority solely because of his race
must be regarded under present
conditions as unreasonable," the
ICC said.
The ICC's ruling was made in
two cases, one brought by the
National Association for the Ad
vancement of Colored People
against a group of Southern rail
roads, the other was brought by
Sarah Keys, New York Negro
beautician, against the Carolina
Coach Co., Raleigh, N. C.
Stop Order Issued
The commission ordered 12
railroads, a rail terminal com
pany, and the bus line to stop
segregation by next Jan. 10.
The decision was another in
recent ones striking down racial
barriers, the most notable of
which was the Supreme Court's
decision ending segregation in
the public schools.
The commission's decisions,
in effect, discarded the separate
but equal principle it set forth
in former decisions.

University of California scient

Mexican scientist that San Fran

Walter C. Marion, assistant
seismologist at the university in

the prediction.
"As far as we are able to

Air Force Plane
Sinks Off Coast
Vancouver, B.C. (U.R) A
Royal Canadian Air Force plane
carrying 19 persons sank in
rough seas off the British Co
lumbia coast yesterday and three
crewmen drowned. .
. An Air Force spokesman said
16 Air Force personnel aboard
were rescued by the fishpacker
Western Challenge which was
operating in the crash scene.
The plane, a Canso flying
boat, sank after making a forced
landing in Seymour Narrows,
125 miles northwest of Van
couver. The plane went down about
2:30 p.m. while on a flight. from
Vancouver to Holberg, on the
northern tip of Vancouver Is
land. The crew of the Western Chal
lenge threw a line to the crip
pled plane which was wallowing
in heavy seas. Three of the crew
were still aboard when the plane
sank. They were trapped inside
the craft, a survivor said. Three
other crewmen and one passen
ger were injured.
The Western Challenge took
refuge from the heavy seas in a
cove on Helmcken Island after
completing the rescue to await
a rescue plane which was to take
the survivors back to Vancouver.
The Air Force said the cause
of the crash was not immediately
known.
sured tha't San Francisco will
remain standing."
Worst in History
The prediction was made by
Dr. Jose Mariano Ponton, an of
ficial of the Mexican Communi
cations Ministry and a professor
at the National University in
Mexico City.
He predicted flatly that San
Francisco will be hit by the
worst earthquake in its history
sometime today.
"The temblor will surpass the
intensity of the 1906 quake,
which took 700 lives," he said.
Ponton' based his prediction
on the "study of the position of
the sun, the moon, the planets
and the different groups of
stars."
Barbara Amberson, another
seismologist at the university,
declared there was "no scienti
fic way" to predict quakes.
No Connection
"No one has ever found any
connection between planets and
earthquakes," she said. "You
can predict a quake in Califor
nia in the indefinite future, but
when you try to predict the
exact day, that's something else
again." '

Red Leaders Link
Lenin With Gandhi
Poona, India 'CU.R) ; Rus
sia's leaders flew to Poona in
their tour of India today after
telling a Bombay audience that
Russian revolutionist V. I.
Lenin had things in common
with Mahatma Gandhi.
Rusisan Premier Nikolai A.
Bulganin and Soviet Commu
nisty party boss Nikita Khrush
chev boarded their special plane
at Bombay this morning to end
a two-day visit to that city over
run by Communist-led riots
earlier this week.
In a speech to the state Legis
lature at Bombay .yesterday,
Bulganin said there were "cer
tain points in common between
Mahatma Gandhi and Lenin."
He said they both "worked for
and achieved a happy future for
their people," although they
stood for different political
philosophies.
The late Gandhi led India's
fight for independence from
Britain. Lenin, founder and
guiding hand of the Soviet Re
publics, was an organizer of the
Russian revolution.
Khrushchev, in his speech,
made a scathing attack on the
West. He likened the United
States, Britain, France and
Japan to "garbage," saying
"They started the second World
War. They sent new troops
against our country, and these
troops were the troops of Hit
lerite Germany."
