YOUR BARGAIN CORNER Washington -0JPD- The Su preme Court today overruled the convictions of Negro sit-in demonstrators in several southern states on grounds they were arrested under un constitutional local segrega tion laws. Nullified were the Jail sen tences and fines imposed on demonstrators in Greenville, S. C.J Birmingham, Ala., Dur ham, N. C, and New Orleans. 11 was the first time the court had ruled in a series of sit-in appeals which stemmed from arrests made throughout the South during the demon strations there in I960 and 1981. The court used the Green ville case to hand down Its landmark decision. Forced To Segregate Chief Justice Earl Warren declared in his majority opin ion that 10 demonstrators there were wrongly convicted because the store manager had been forced to segregate his lunch counter because of a city ordinance. Warren held that even If the manager had acted as an individual, the convictions were invalid because the local ordinance was on the books. In quick succession, then, the court overturned the fol lowing other sit-in convic tions: -Trespass convictions of 10 Negroes in Birmingham. -The conviction of two min isters the Revs. F. L. Shut tleworth and Charles Billups -who were found guilty of having incited the demonstrat ors in Birmingham. -The trespass convictions of five Negro students and two white students for sit-ins at Durham, N. C. Criminal, mischief convic tions at New Orleans. Local Laws Involved In the Greenville case, the court did not touch on the argument that store owners could maintain segregated fa cilities on private property. Warren's opinion indicated that as long as the local stat utes required segregation, the owner was left no choice but to maintain separate facilities for whites and Negroes. Warren declared that state segregation statutes violate the 14th Amendment and that in the Greenville case, the city statute eliminated any private choice on the part of the store owner. He said that the statute meant "that a person owning, managing or controlling an eating place is left with no choice of his own but must segregate his white and Negro patrons. The Kress manage ment, in deciding to exclude Negroes, did precisely what the city law required." Geneva - IUPD - Tiie United States today sought to break a four-day deadlock with the European Common Market nations that has brought their tariff-cutting talks to the brink of failure. A three-hour meeting be tween the United States and Britain on the one hand and market members on the other broke up early today and a U.S. delegate said "nothing is settled." Former Secretary of State Christian A. Herter, chief U.S. delegate, plans to leave the conference of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade on Wednesday, and in formed sources said that if no agreement is reached by then the consequences could be as serious as Britain's failure to joi nthe market last winter. Herter led the Anglo-American negotiators in the talks that ended shortly after mid night. He was to confer again today or Tuesday with the Common Market team, head ed by Jean Rey, the market executive commissioner for external affairs. The issue is the amount of tariff reductions acceptable to the two sides. The United States is author ized to negotiate across the board tariff cuts of up to 50 per cent. Herter's team can settle for less than 50 per cent, but the cust must be the same for all products. The Common Market re jects this, charging that it favors U.S. business over Europea ninterests. The alter native is a sliding scale of tariff rates. )os;ojd oi anuijuoo pmon ueid UBDuauiv em eqi pus) -uoo sueadojng am, -apeji sseajou o) ino aq pmous s;jj -joi iom saiga sapts M)og certain U.S. products chem icals, for example-from Euro pean competition.

UN Troops Occupy Congo Border Town Leopoldville, The Congo -IVPD-United Nations troops have occupied a Congolese Angolan border town in an attempt to halt clandestine border traffic, a UN spokes man said Sunday. The town is Dilolo, located on the Bcnguela Railway from Elizabethville to Lobito, Angola. The town had been untouched by UN forces since the January fighting which ended Katanga's secession. Some reports indicated dis banded Katanga units, includ ing while mercenaries, used the town as a crossing point into Angola. Portugese sources indicated the units joined gendarmerie forces in Angola. The UN spokesman said the troops In Dilolo established "friendly relations with the local population," and secured Dilolo Airport.
