Arguments on
Gulf Tidelands
Oil Rights Heard
Washington - (UPD - The Su
preme Court, in its first work
ing session of the new term,
acted today on a series of key
cases involving public school
desegregation, labor union ac
tivities, racial disputes, Com
munism and wiretapping.
It then began hearing ar
guments on the complex federal-state
dispute over Gulf
tidelands oil rights. '..
The high, tribunal, acting on
a number of appeals filed dur
ing its summer recess:
-Agreed to hear arguments
on and rule whether a worker
can be forced to pay his union
dues to keep his job when
some of the money is used for
political activities.
Hearing Refused
-Refused to grant a hearing
to a Raleigh, N.C., youth who
sought unsuccessfully to win
transfer to a white high
school.
-Declined to take another
look at a lower court decision
ordering Prince Edwards
county, Virginia, to integrate
its schols. The public schools
there are now closed. White
children are attending a pri
vately financed system. No
provision has been made for
1,800 Negro pupils.
Also turned down an ap
peal by the Norfolk, Va., city
council f rom . court - ordered
school desegregation.
Agreed to hear arguments
In a second case involving the
constitutionality of the "mem
bership clause" conviction of
an alleged Communist. The
new appeal was brought by
John Francis Noto of Buffa
lo, N.Y.'
Upholds Kasptr Sentence
-Refused to reconsider its
rejection last June of segrega
tionist John Kasper's appeal
from a 1957 contempt of court
conviction ' stemming from
Kasper's activities in connec
tion with school integration at
Clinton, Tenn. He and six oth
ers were convicted of violat
ing a U.S. District court order
barring interference with the
court- ordered integration.
Kasper is now serving a six
month, sentence for the of
fense. -Refused to ' reconsider a
ruling which upheld the- au
thority of the'House commit
tee on Un-American Activities
to investigate Communism.
This affirmed the contempt
conviction of Lloyd Baren
blatt, a former Vassar college
instructor who refused to an-
wr committee questions
about, past or present Com
manist associations.
' -Similarly refused to recon
sider its previous action which
set aside a $100,000 fine lev
ied against the National Asso
ciation for the Advancement
of Colored People by the
state of Alabama.
-Agreed . to examine the
constitutionality of a New
York law prohibiting ex-convicts
from collecting labor
dues.
Wiia-Tappira Decision
-Dismissed an appeal by
New York private detective
John G. Broady, convicted
under state law of wire-tap-ping
activity. This leaves
standing a decision last April
by th New York: Court of
Appeals that the federal stat
ute dealing with wire-tapping
does not bar state laws in this
field. ' - v.-:v ' -'
The court will hear argu
ments on the issue later this
term and will follow with a
written opinion on the union
dues question.
Today's precedent - setting
case, of vital importance in
the labor -management field,
came to the high court from
the Supreme court of Geor
gia It was started in 1953 in
Macon , by six employees of
the Southern Railway system
who were compelled to join
a union under labor-management
agreements then being

money would be spent to sup

Bloodmobile Plans

the quarterly visit of the
Bloodmobile on Tuesday, Oct
13, in Medford, officials re
ported today.
Ouota for the visit is 290
pints for which 350 donors
are needed. The Bloodmobile
will be at the Red Cross chap
ter house, 60 Hawthorne ave.,
from 1 to 6 pjn. Drop - in
donors will be welcome, Red

center on Southern Oregon
campus from 1 to 6 pjn.
Railway by the unions con
tained a union snop clause.
That meant all workers had
to ioin the union within a
certain period of time.
The Taft-Hartley law, wnicn
rovers most labor - manage
ment relations, leaves the
union shop question up to the
states. Some states have pass
ed so-called right to work
laws which bar the union
ennn But. since federal law
supersedes state law, these
statutes cannot appiy to wors
ers whose job situation is gov
erned by the Railway Labor
act. .
The Supreme court of Geor
oia ruled in favor of the com
plaining railroad workers last
mission authorized PMT to
transport new automobiles
and trucks from Genei.
Motors : plants at Oakland,
Raymer (Los Angeles county)
and South Gate, Calif., to
three additional of frail points
in Nevada and to all points
in Oregon, Nevaua, Utah, Ari
zona, and New Mexico which
are stations on Southern Pa
cific rail lines.
This authorization was up
held by the U. S. District
Court here. ..
American Trucking Associa
tions, argued that the ICC 3a
cision constituted the-first in
stance in which the commis
sion had authorized the per
formance of "substantial"
motor contract carrier opera
tions by a railroad or-its af
filiate. , v. ; . .
Would Set Precedent
The ATA further argued
that unless he commission's
decision wer reversed,, it
would set a precedent for de
termining all future contract
carrier applications by rail
roads and would serve as a
basis for their further entry
into the field f "unlimited'
truck service.
The commission responded
that it found that PMT could
best meet the specialized
needs' of General Motors in
distributing new cars and
trucks to a "highly competi
tive market."

New York tDPD Stocks ad
vanced today on the lightest
volume since Feb. 28, 1958.
The dullness reflected a
double holiday-Columbus day
and the Jewish holiday, Yem
Kippur. Because of the. for
mer, all New York banks,
most commodity markets, and
most corporate offices closed.
The Yom Kippur holiday kept
many traders from the street.
Moves to get the steel in
dustry back into, production, a
fresh demand for cotton tex
tiles, end in sight for Kenne
cott's strike in Chile, and the
huge success of the govern
ment's 5 per cent note offer
ing last week combined to
help the market. Small de
mand with few offerings re
sulted in some wide gains.

By VINCENT J. BURKE
United Press International
Washington - (UPD - Chair
man Earl W. Kintner testified
today that if the Federal
Trade Commission tried ' to
prevent rigging of TV qui?
shows it would wind up polic
ing wrestling matches and im
posing "complete censorship
of all entertainment."
Kintner told House investi
gators the commission never
had contended that its power
to crack down "on deceptive
advertising" extends to ."de
ceptive entertainment." ,
He testified as a House in
vestigating subcommittee held
its final day of hearings on
charges that some TV -quiz
programs have been fixed.
Kintner said there was ' se
rious question' . whether the
FTC has legal authority to as
sert such jurisdiction, but
added that Ihis is "a grey area
in the law."
The subcommittee prepared
to end its public inquiry with
out testimony from $129,000
winner Charles Van Doren:-
