Dirk Sten said today he would ask the White House whether it plans to invite congressional foreign policy leaders to at tend the Big Four foreign ministers' meeting or summit conference. The Illinois Republican SB id the last time the question Congressional participation in a Big Four meeting came up "a number of reasons T.ere raised against it." Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D-Minn.), has proposed that Senate Foreign Relations Chairman J. William Ful bright (D-Ark.), and Sen. Al exander Wiley (R-Wis.), be in vited to the May 11 foreign ministers' meeting in Geneva. He said this would help show U. S. unity. But Fulbright is inclined to think legislators should leave such negotiating to the execu tive branch of the govern ment, except in unusual cir cumstances.

By LOUIS CASSELS UPI Correspondent Washington -4UPD- A mass migration of Negroes from the rural areas of the South to the big cities of the North and West is radically changing the sectional aspect of America's racial dilemma. Census figures show that the migration has been under way on a large scale since 1940. But its far-reaching ef fects have only recently be gun to attract national atten tion. The population shift has by no means reached the point where it may be regarded as a potential solution of the South's desegregation crisis. More than 60 per cent of the nation' 19 million Negroes still live in nine Southern states. What the great hegira has done is to transplant the race relations problem, once dis tinctive to the South, into every region of the country. Illustrations Here are a few illustrations of this profoundly significant fact: -New York City now has more than 1,000,000 Negro residents. That exceeds the combined Nejgro populations of Atlanta, Ga., Richmond, Va., Memphis Tenn., Birm ingham, Ala., Charlotte, N.C., Columbia, ' S.C., and New Orleans, La. -The proportion of Negroes in Philadelphia's population about one-fourth-is the same as in Little Rock, Ark. -Chicago's Negro popula tion has tripled since 1940, and now stands at about 750, 000. -San Francisco's Negro population, less than 9,000 in 1940, has increased by more than 1,00ft per cent. ' -Negroes constitute 24 per cent of the total population of the Washington metropolitan area. Within the "inner city" boundaries of the District of Columbia, they outnumber whites, constituting 33 per cent of the population. In the District's public schools, Ne gro children outnumber white children by a ratio of 3 to 1. -San Diego, Calif, now has a larger Negro population than Greensboro, N. C. .

Exodus of Whites This increase in non-white population has coincided with a general exodus of white res idents to the suburbs. The re sult is a fast-climbing ratio, of colored to white residents in most northern and western cities. In Los Angeles, for ex ample, the proportion of Ne gro residents in 1940 was 4 per cent. In Cleveland, the percentage of Negro residents has climbed from 10 to 22 per cent in the same period, in St. Louis from 13 to 26 per cent. How long this trend will continue is difficult to ' pre dict. A leading authority on population movements, Dr. Irene Taeuber of Princeton University, believes . that at least one phase of the Negro migration is nearing an end. Up till now, most of the immigrants have come from the farming areas of the South. They were, predomin antly, sharecroppers who had been "tractored off' the land. Some of them moved to. the southern cities (whose Negro populations also have grown moderately since 1940) but the vast majority, once they were uprooted, kept going until they were out of the South. Source Drying Up Dr. Taeuber points out that the main source of immigrant supply is now fast drying up. There are not many Negro sharecroppers left in the South-no more than 150,000 families, according to the lat est Agriculture Department estimate. In the future, it appears, there either will be less Ne gro migration to the North and West, or the immigrants will be of a different type- people who have already been exposed to an urban environ ment This prospect has great sig nificance. For the mass mi gration of the past two dec ades, which brought hundreds of thousands of Negroes di rect from the cottonfields of the - South to the crowded slums of the nation's biggest cities, has created very severe problems, both for the trans planted Negroes and for the communities to which they have moved. (Next: Problems Posed) What Is The Law? i This column is prepared as a public service by the College of Law, Willamette University, Salem, to ) explain basic legal principles, not to provide legal advice. The reader is cautioned not to apply these cases to his own problems without an attorney's advice, for differing facts may change the outcome. Mixing Nuts Could Involve A Court Case Alan and Bob owned adja cent lots in the city. There were walnut trees on both lots. One Saturday in autumn Bob hired two boys to harvest his walnuts for him. Since Bob worked on Saturdays he was unable to supervise the b.oys. The boys picked up all the nuts under one of the trees on Alan's lot and placed them in the basement along with the walnuts from Bob's trees. Demanded Half It was impossible to deter mine which nuts came from the tree on Alan's lot. Alan demanded half of the nuts in Bob's basement but his de mand was refused. Alan then brought action against; Bob for all of the nuts. The court held that Alan was entitled to all of the nuts in Bob's basement except for the ones that Bob could prove came from his trees. When the property of two or more persons are mixed in such a manner that it is im possible to determine the ownership of the individual units, the court is faced with the difficult tack of dividing the mixture in an equitable way. The solution has been to make the one responsible for the mixing (even though he may be honest and in good faith (prove that part of the mixture belongs to him. The other party has the advantage of a presumption that all of the mixed property is his and this presumption controls the outcome of the litigation un less the one responsible for the mixing can prove other wise. Should Forfeit Rights Some courts have held that the responsible party should automatically forfeit x any rights he had in the mixture if he mixed the property in bad faith. Under this rule, all of the walnuts would be giv en to Alan if Bob would have maliciously told the boys to pick the walnuts around Alan's tree. However, the present trend is to leave mat ters of punishment up to the criminal laws and to let the guilty party keep the number of items which he can prove originally belonged to him. The fact that the mixing was done intentionally would have the effect of making it more difficult for the respon sible person to convince the court or jury that a part of the mixture belonged to him, A new machine developed in Australia estimates in a few seconds the amount of clean wool contained in fleece.
