Civil Rights Battl
Near Showdown Stage
WASHINGTON, May 11.—(AP)—The Senate’s long
pending civil. rights battle showed signk of erupting
ahead of schedule today. ;
Senator Morse of Oregon said he wants his Republican
colleagues to.stand up and be counted. “Myparty can’t
take a walkout powder,” he said. s
The issue immediately before
the Senate is this: shall Congress
forbid the segregation of whites
and negroes in regional universi
ties which 15 Southern states
want to set up?
Morse thinks it should. He has
proposed an anti-segregation
amendment to a bill giving con
gressional approval to an inter
state compact. providing for such
universities.
The bilk is sponsored by Sou
thern Democrats, headed by Sen
ator Holland of Florida. They
contend Congress has no power
to ban segregation because to do
so would invade states’ rights.
The Southerners, with the
pledged support of some Repub
lcans, - say they have enough
voteg to beat Morse’s amendment.
But if that happens, Morse told
reporters, ‘the whole question of
civil. rights theén has got to be
raised.”
Tt was this program that touch
ed off the Dixie rebellion against
Mr. Truman -and prompted a
promise from the GOP leader
ship to air the 'issue this year.
{ Morse - left one avenue open
for averting the immediate show
down.
He said he might move to send
the compact approval bill back to
the judiciary committee because
“we have to let time enough lapse
to iet the Republicans realize
what is invelved.” . -

JACKSON, Miss, May 11.—
(AP)—States Rights Democrats,
having repudiated President Tru

The weapon is the declared

Trains Running Ca Schedule
But Wage Fight Still Rages
Workers Reluctantly Stay On Job
In Face Of 8-Day Restraining Order
WASHINGTON, May 11.— (AP) —America’s trains
kept running today because a fast-moving government
forced the engineers, firemen, and switchmen to call off
the strike they had set for this morning.
They called it off reluctantly late last night, in obedi
ence to a court order thrown at them by Justice T. Alan
Goldsborough. Goldsborough is the federal judge who
twice fined John L. Lewis for discbeying court orders.

Finished; Four
Students Suspended
|
SAVANNAH, May 11.—(AP)—
A two-weeks probe at the Uni
versity of Georgia’s Savannah
Division ended with the suspen
sion of four students and proba=
tionary periods for four others,
William M. Randall, student ac
tivities director, said.
Randall said the action was
taken as a result of findings of a
private investigator who con=-
ducted the probe on the Savan
nah campus.
Last night Randall termed the
probe a “closed matter” unless
the students appeal to the Board’
of Regents. He advised them not
to do so. §
University offciials declined to
§den'tify the students or to spec
ify. on what, grounds the actions
were taken, except to say, “for
actions prejudicial to the interest
of the University community.”
‘Later Randall caid, “the stu
d;nts hwere given 'to undeutan&!
that they could app for ¢
}Hflfisflofl‘%fl thé‘"&%:fiit? i
a period of time. This period of
time was set at one year. 3
“The probation for the other
four means a sort of good con
duct trial)” he said. ‘“The proba
tion is to give them warning that
unless they ‘behave they will be
suspended.”
Dick Piazza, president of the;
Student Veterans Organization
on the campus, told the Savannah
Morning News that he is one of
those placed on probation. A
paper informing him of his pro
bation stated the action was
taken “because of conduct un
becoming to a student,” Piazza
said. , ;
Earlier, J. D. Blair, director at
the Savannah Branch, said that|
official conferences had been re
corded by unauthorized persons.
Special investigator Ed Norton
also said wires had been tapped.
Norton, formerly of the Geor
gia Bureau of Investigation, acted
as investigator for President
Harmon W. Caldwell of the Uni
versity of Georgia.

Last night, after facing repor

intervals all through a dramatic

union chiefs cooped themselves
up in their hotel rooms and let a
young assistant, Eddie Gloss,
make the announcement the
country was waiting to hear.
“The Brotherhoods will com
ply with the court order. Steps
to that effect are being taken
immediately.”
The “steps” were telegrams

rushing to their local offices.
The messages went out so laté

appeared probable.

Will Consider Amount Of Bonds, Dafe -
. . =
Of Election And New Building Site |
BY ED THILENIUS
Banner-Herald City Editor ~
Athenians representing every agency connected with
the public schools at a mass meeting ldst night in the City
Hall adopted a proposal by Mayor Jack Wells for dp~
pointment of three committees, comprised of three mem
bers each from the P. T. A., Board of Education and City.
Council to go into the matter of constructing a new high
school.
These committees will determine
the amount of bonds the citizens
will be asked to approve for a
new building, date of the election,
site for the building and whether
‘construction should proceed im
mediately upon a unit basis or
‘whether to wait until funds are
available to construct the entire
proposed building, which may cost,
$1,000,000.
~ The committees will be appoint
‘ed by the head of each body they'
represent after due consideration '
will report their findings back to
their main bodies at a regular
Lscheduied meeiting some time in{
the future.
Numerous proposals and opin
ions were voiced by citizens pres—l
ent and a complete picture of the
situation, covering funds on hand,
the immediate problems, etc. were
fully discussed. } :
; Members of the City Cmmcil,‘
Board of Education and P. T. A.
{ Advisory Board took part in the
' discussion. . |
’ Mayor Wells informed the meet
ing that the city’s bonded margin
'for this year has been increased
to $526,600 and that the tax digest
'has been increased to more than
$21,000,000.
’ It was estimated that the due
to the present high cost of ma
terials that the proposed high
schoel building would cost in the
vicinity of one million dollars.
Mayor Wells pointed out that with
the new bond margin, plus $300,-
000 on hand, the main problem
raising the additional $200,000.
Election Next Fall
A bond election in the fall was
agreed upon as being the most
likely source from which to ac
quire these funds.
Dr. O. C. Aderhold, chairman of
the PTA Advisory Committee
stated his group’s views on the
matter. “We suggest that the
building be started now with the
funds available and construct it
on a unit bagis. In that way the
available funds would construct
the main building and the other
units could be added at a later
time when the money is avail
able.” :
“I think I speak for the advisory
board when I said we want the
construction to begin immediate
ly,” he added.
The question was then raised as
to a site of the building.
Dr. Aderhold also reporied on
this situation. *When the previous

‘bond election was held the idea of
using the present high school
grounds for the new building was
injected into the issue so. that the
people might have a definite plan
before them. Since that time a sur
vey committee from the Board of
Education has studied the problem
and recommended three possible
sites. The P. T, A, Advisory Board
selected their first choice. It is lo
cated on Milledge between . the
Fleming and Dearing homes and
has approximately 12 to 15 acres
of land available.” C s
Judge Henry H. West summed
up the feeling of many present
with his statement calling for im
mediate action.
“Let’s get ‘this building started
now and quit so much talking
back and forth. Let’s also make
sure that the new building has
a big auditorium so that the citi
zens of th{ig town will ;A:‘vet; ba pl:::
in which they can get together and
te,lg over their problems. ... .
“I'm i favor of the new site,
or any other reasonable- site, but
let's get the ball rolling. And while
‘'we're at it, let’s have one of the
finest high school buildings in the
state, with plenty of outdoor room
as well as interior space. We've
got to take care of the future.
“Let’s also make the construce
tion of the new building in keep
ing with the architecture of our
other buildings in town,” Judge
West concluded. i
L. M. Shadgett, member of the
Board of Education, voiced his
views along the same line.
Model Building Possible
“Athens can have the maodel
schooi building of the south ii the
citizens are willing to foot the bill.
I think we should construct the
building in sections, with the
funds now on hand, rather than
build a second or third rate build
ing.”
Councilmgn W, N. Danner vofced
his opinion on the need for
school classroom space. “If we
don’t increase our classroom space
within the next three years, we
will be spending a great bit of
money on delinquency that could
go into this building. Our présent
classrooms are so ecrowded .th:
some of our students are becomit
highly nervous from the congest
ed condition. A
“Also why nov sell the present
' building and grounds and'adfin%t
money toward the new building?”
Councilman Clyde Basham said
that in his opinion a bond issue
in the near future would fail/“We
need a great amount of salesman~
ship before we can hold a success~
ful bond election. Not oniy-that,
but we should also inform the peo<
ple ‘just how the floating of new
bonds will affect them, I also think
that the main selling point of a
new bond election would bhe to
have the new building located as
near the center of town as possi
ble.”
Councilman Kenneth Guest was
also in favor of a new school site,
“although ' it. means taking the
school out of my ward.” He also
propesed that teachers salaries be
maintained at a higher level for
the teachers in the new building.
Councilman John Coffee sug
gested that the leading bodies. first
found out whether or not the citi
zens of Athens really want a new
building and see if they are willing
to back the plan.
“If we enlist the aid of every
one, of every citizen and school
child, I don’t think the problem
of salesmanship will be too tough,”
he added. g o
’ Warns Of Emergency
Mayor Wells cautioried against
using up all the bond margin be
cause an emergency might arise
requiring issuance of bonds. to
meet if. He pointed out that nearly
$200,000 in bonds will be retired
by the Bond Commissionn by Jan
uary 1, 1950 and that would open
up another source of revenue for
the school building, in addition to
whatever amount the citizens au
thorized prior to that time under
