Chief Justice Eari Warren, dei liv^ring the Court’s decision, said that while the arrested per sons had raised broad constitut-' lonal questions in their appeals, the • court found it unnecessary ^ to decide the wide issues. Instead, he said, the court based its decision on the ground that the convictions “are so- totally devoid of evidencary support as to tender them un constitutional under the due. proccss clause of the 14th Amendment.” The Chiaf Justice made it clear that the question of whether a private property owner has the r^ht to serve only those he choses wag not the question before the court He added, however, tiiat if it were the question', the convict ions still could not stand. Jusice William O. Douglas in a concurring opinion asserted the court should have gone further in its findings. “i think the constitutional questions must be reached and that they make reversals neces sary,” he said. “Restatirahts, whether.

The government contended an investigation conducted by agents ol the Internal Revenue Service showe.d Taylor had in come on which more than $1,000 was due in taxes. They contended that the at torney made over $6,000 in 1955 but reported a gross /in come of a little over $5,000. Taylor reportedly admitted reporting the $5,000 but said the figure was inadvertently put on the tax report. In the other case In which he entered a plea of guilty, Taylor is charged witti failure to file tax returns from 1856 and 1957 within the time limits set by law. He entered the plea when arraigned last week. Indictments, against Taylor alIl^ged hie l^id gross income of $6,162 in 1955, and gross in comes in 1956 and 1957 of $12,439 and $22,481 respective ly- According to federal law, Taylor could "be sentenced to as much as jten years in a feder al prison on the fraudulent in come tax return case, and very S«e ATTORNEY, page 2-A >||erman L Raleigh «t GRiElENBBORO—Dr. Sftmuel D. Proctor is expected to an nounce shortly after Christ mas whether or riot he will “take an assignmitnt with tdie Peace Corps in Nigeria. The A. and T. College presi dent was offered the job las director ol the Peace Corps operations in that African' state some time ago. Sargent Shriv- er, director of the Corps, con firmed the offer last week. Dr. Proctor said here this week that he has not yet de cided definitely to take the job and added that he has until the final week in December to give the Corps an answer. On Tuesday, the College board cleared the way for him to take the post by granting him an 18 months leave of absence. The trustees adopted a re solution stating tliat his leave should end on September 1, 1963. At the same time, the group approved a recommenda tion that Dr. Lewis C. Dowdy, dean of instruction, replace Proctor as president. Dowdy was recommended foi the job by Proctor. The resolution, clearing the way for Proctor to take th^ job, stated ttiat he could re turn any time he wishes with ill the 18 motlths leave period. Only two trustees, J. S Stewart of Durham, and George Sockwell, of Gibsonville, op posed the resolution.

The assignment is regarded as a highly sensitive one, Nigeria is the largest free African state. It was also the scene of a controversy which damaged the effectiveness of the Corps pro, gram in that country. It arose when Nigerian students discover ed a misplaced postcard from a young white gift to her friends in the U.
