COURT HEARS:

Desegregation
Problem Aired
(EDITOR'S NOTE; This is an interpretive article concerning problerho
of segregation in the public schools of the South.)
By LEW HAMBURGER
Last spring the Supreme Court handed down a unanimous deci-
sion that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal,"
thus dealing another blow to a hard-dying social system.
The ruling had far reaching consequences.
The University of Virginia "Cavalier Daily" summed up the
feeling of many Southerners, declaring the decision was "contrary to
a way of life."
The ruling itself was based on test cases from Kansas, South
Carolina, Virginia, and Delaware, but is effected 10.7 million white1

and Negro school children in the
21 states that permitted segrega-
tion.
Court Reflective
The court proved extremely re-
flective, however, softening the
decision in footnote 13 which sug-
gests that they (the court) may
"permit an effective gradual ad-
justment from existing segregated
systems . . ." It did not rule at
once on implementation.
Instead, the Court requested the
"assistance of the parties" in for-
mulating, decrees. The result was.
that the border and southern
states, Negro organizations, and
the Eisenhower Administration,
filed briefs last December.
Arguments Heard
Last week arguments were
brought before the Court. The old
1passions, new proposals, and vio-
lent emotions of the old debate
were dragged out and put on dis-
play.
"Wait and see" was the general
attitude in the South.
All states involved opposed im-
mediate end to segregation. The
border states favor allowing local
authorities to finish the program,
insisting that intervention by a
judicial authority might create
s "manifold difficulties."
Local Authorities
- The rest of the South strongly
advises leaving desegregation to
local authorities, without the aid
*of court action.
t In border areas, Maryland and
e Washington, D.C., where desegre-
e gation has been carried on for the
,past academic year, legislators are
working with some progress.
Maryland's Montgomery County
- became the first to issue a detailed
l statement of its plans to integrate
- public schools. In Washington the
h Board of Education touched on the
ticklish problem of integrating
a top personnel without discrimi-
- nating against incumbents.
Opposition Violent
- Opposition in Georgia was vio-
- lent from the outset, little or no
* change being noted. Lately, how-
ever plans to raise funds for a
combined CIO-AFL drive to wipe
s out segregation in Southern
- schools were announced by dele-
h gates to a meeting of United
- Packing House Workers in At-
-lanta.
In.Alabama, as in other states,
the "private school bill" to provide
for segregated private schools with
public funds, has been under at-
tack by prominent attorneys.
The oral arguments ended
Thursday, but it was not known
when the court would hand down
its ruling.

ALPHA PHI ANNEX TO BECOME INTERNATIONAL HOUSE
New International House
Set for Sorority Annex

By DICK SNYDER
A new international house will
be established on campus next fall1
in the present Alpha Phi annex.
Winifred Wildman of Wilming-
ton, Ohio, signed a sales agree-
ment late yesterday with the local
Theta chapter of the sorority for
purchase of the structure located1
at 1809 Hill.
Starting next semester the
building will house 12 women
graduate students of both Ameri-
can and foreign nationalities.
Fraternities
Begin Co-op
Buying Trial
Twenty-five fraternities are par-
ticipating in the second co-opera-
tive food buying trial period.
Purchasing agent Mike Barber,
'57, said yesterday the board of di-
rectors administering the new plan
has been chosen. Members of the
board include University Invest-
ment Director Graham Conger,
Food Service Manager Hal Wag-
ner and University Food Buyer
Tom Thompson..
Students on the board are David
Goldstein, '56BAd., Hank Aughey,
'56NR, Jack Ryan, '56, Interfra-
ternity Council Executive Vice-
President Bob Knutson, '56, Bar-
ber and Assistant to the Dean of
Men William S. Zerman.
Bids on canned goods for the
second trial period, which begins
May 1, have been accepted by the
board, Barber reported.
During the board's third meet-
ing Thursday, a proposed consti-
tution for the plan will be studied
and prepared. It will go to the
fraternity stewards council for
consideration next week.

Alpha Phi is giving up occupan-
cy of the annex with the comple-
tion of an addition, now under
construction, to their main chap-
ter house at 1830 Hill.
MisssWildman, a former resi-
dent of Ann Arbor, is a member of
The Society of Friends and has
been associated with similar proj-
ects at Earlham College in Indi-
ana and Wilmington College in
Ohio.
Supervised by Miss Wildman
The new dwelling, which will be
under the supervision of Miss
Wildman, will be associated with
the Council for International Liv-
ing.
The Council is presently spon-
soring J. Raleigh Nelson House
for graduate and undergraduate
men regardless of nationality.
Purpose of the new international
house, according to DeWitt C.
Baldwin, Co-ordinator of Religious
Affairs at Lane Hall and an ex-of-
ficio member of the Council, is to
develop intercultural understand-
ing among American and foreign
students.
Deals With Discrimination
"Because graduate students are
not allowed to live in the dorms
and because of apparent discrimi-
nation against students of foreign
nationality on the part of local
landlords," Baldwin said, "we be-
lieve that this is one way-though
admittedly a small way-to deal
with the problem.
"Our hope is that out of this ini-
tial movement, more such houses
will spring up on campus and
eventually eliminate these situa-
tions of discrimination and lack
of adequate housing," he contin-
ued.
The new international living
quarters will work on a co-opera-
tive basis, with the residents shar-
ing in the work. Room-and-board
rates will approximate those of the
dorms.

Madame Chiang Tells
Of Fresh Danger
TAIPEI, Formosa () - Matsu
Island was shelled heavily last
week for the first time from the
mainland, where huge Russian-
made coastal guns have been re-
ported emplaced.
This was disclosed yesterday by
Madameehiang Kai-shek. She
told for the first time of a visit
she and President Chiang made to
the island 120 miles northwest of
Formosa last Thursday.
Nationalists To Defend
Thus a new peril has been posed
for this offshore island which the
Nationalists declare they will de-
fend with or without U.S. help.
Matsu, main island in the Matsu
group, is nine and one-half miles
south of the nearest mainland
point. It has been hitherto im-
mune from shelling. However, in-
telligence reports have said the
Reds were bringing down big
coastal guns to get Matsu within
range.
In an exclusive interview, Ma-
dame Chiang declined to go into
detail about the shelling. She
would not even say what day the ALB
shelling took place. But she said no
the shelling was "quite heavy" and
that Nationalist guns returned the'
fire.
China Buildup P 1
The Matsus also are menaced
by a big Communist air buildup
in south China. Secretary of State
John Foster Dulles said in Augus-
ta, Ga., Sunday the buildup has Sev
"grave implications." Stein

En-lai yesterday in the opening
peeches at the Asian-African con-
erence.
Foreign Minister Fadhil Jamali
of Iraq led the way. He called
ommunism a new fori of col-
ialism that breeds hatred among
eoples.
Amid the cheers and applause
'or Jamali's statement there was
tony-faced silence on the part of
.ommunists and neutralists in the
East-West controversy.
Stern-Faced
Premier Chou and India's neu-
ralist Prime Minister Jawaharlal
Nehru were among those who sat
n their hands. They sat stern-
aced as Prime Minister Moham-
ned Ali of Pakistan walked across
the conference room and wrung
Jamali's hand after the speech.
Chou had been the darling of
the huge crowds thronging Ban-
rung's streets as the conference
opened with a speech by Indone-
sia's President Soekarno.
May Be Back
Chou passed up an opportunity
to speak at Monday's session. But
he may be back later.
A decision to forego speechesby
delegation heads was voted Sunday
by a majority of the 29 conference
nations. But Turkey and Iran, late
n reaching Bandung, demanded
the right to speak. At a secret ses
ion Monday the conference re-
versed itself and decided to permit
the speeches.
Nehru Favors Silence
One of the leaders favoring si-
lence was Nehru. He was reported
hopeful of leading Egyptian Pre-
mier Gamal Abdel Nasser into the
neutralist camp at the conference.
But the young Egyptian leaders
avoided taking any sides in his
first appearance at an interna-
tional meeting of this sort.
Nasser said Egypt and the Arab
countries "still have unshaken
faith in the United Nations." But
he added:
"The Arab countries were among
those most disillusioned in the
failure of this organization to act
in accordance with human rights,
especially with regard to the coun-
tries of North Africa and Pales-
tine."

Two petitions for sponsoring

POLITICAL POSSUM:
Kelly Talks to Journalists, A ffiliates

By MERLE MAYERSTEIN
and BOB JONES
Whimsical, wise-cracking Walt
Kelly, creator of Pogo, kicked off
Greek Week last night in Yost
Field House before 3,000 swamp-
land sympathizers.
Kelly's speech followed a mass
Panhellenic-IFC picnic in the
field house. Sorority and frater-
nity members queued up behind
tables of sandwiches and potato-
salad, or else deployed themselves
on blankets while waiting for the
cartoonist to begin.
Brought to town by the jounal-
ism department Kelly delivered a
lecture earlier yesterday in the
Rackham Auditorium. He deliv-
ered an address titled: "From
Here on Down, It's All Uphill."

Kelly, named "Cartoonist of theE
Year" in 1954, began his career
on the Bridgeport (Conn.) Postz
and Telegraph. After six years in
Hollywood as an animator forl
Walt Disney, Kelly returned tot
New York.1
"Disney slapped me over the1
head with a salami, and sent me
East," Kelly cracked. "After starv-
ing for a while, I decided to draw
for comic-books. I wanted to tell
a story in the wholesome, clean-t
cut Americantradition, pulsingt
with the heart-beat of America,"
he said, sarcastically.
Drew Political Cartoons
After the comic-book flopped.
Kelly went to work on the short-'
lived New York Star. He drew1
political cartoons, touched up
front-page art, and even set a line
or two of type.
"Finally an editor agreed to run
my daily strip, "Pogo," Kelly said.
"The editor was I, and the paper,
The New York Star."
Thus Pogo got started.
"Pogo Is a Possum"

grinned. Albert was political ad-
vistor to Pogo when the possum
ran for president.
"Albert makes a good politician.
He has a thick skin, and a head
to match." Kelly said Pogo would
have made a good president, had
he won. "Then we would have had
someone who could hang by his
tail,"
Kelly remarked that another of
his characters, Howland Owl, has
the wise, benevolent expression of
a faculty advisor.
"He knows what's good for sou,
even if it kills you," laughed Kelly.
"And furthermore, he has the
answer to everything. Except ques-
tions."
