Turner’s address was part ofl NCC’s observance of the first national “Law Day,” set aside! by special proclamation of Pres ident Eisenhower. The presidential proclamation designating “Law Day” was wid^ ely interpreted to indicate a, growing interest and support on the part of the epcecutive branch of government in the federal ju diciary. U. S. courts, chiefly the Su preme Court, have come under sharp attack from critics, nota bly since the enunciation of the d^egregation principle in public education. This week, the Senate Judici ary Committee approved a meas ure sponsored by Sen. Jenner to curtail the power of the Supreme Court in certain areas. UK. TURNER Fails In Vote Bid By B.

It appears that all failures are not final, as the May 6, primary comeback due to write-in votes may upset the first run off results. Teacher's Eviction Seen Key To Nm Move Reversing Dr. Veal's Stand COLUMBIA, S. C.—The imminent eviction from an Allen University apartment home of one of three teachers involved in a squabble between the univer sity and the state of South Carolina gave rise to new speculation this week that the three may really be on their way out at the AME Church-supported institu tion. Last week, a story from Mojeska Simkins carried by this newspaper, interpreted a statement of Allen President Dr. Frank Veal to indicate that the school had changed its policy toward the three men and had decided to fight for their right to remain on its faculty despite attacks from a state legislative committee. Veal’s statement in last week's article cleared the three teachers of “subversive” charges levelled against them. DR. J. W.
