University of Texas Wins First Honors
WilliamsHits Truman
Washington, March 1 (UP)
A demand for President Truman
to remove himself as a candidate
for the Democratic presidential
nomination was voiced openly on
Capitol Iliil for the first time
today.
It was made in tho House by
Representative John Bell Will
iams, a Mississippi Democrat and
one of the leaders of the South
ern Democratic revolt against
Mr. Truman's Civil Rights pro
gram. Williams told the house that
the President should bow, , in his
words, "with the hope that our
party still can be salvaged." The
President's Civil Rights program,:
he added, has removed any
chances the x Democrats had of
winning in November.
On the other hand, another
Southern Democrat, Senator Lis
ter Hill of Alabama, pledged his
loyalty to Mr. Truman, even
though he denounced the admin
istration program which has
touched off the Southern revolt.
Added fuel was heaped on th
Southern rebellion today in the
action of a House subcommittee.
The group voted to bar federal
funds to states which do not of
fer equal work and school oppor
tunities to all races.
President Truman, at his first
news conference in more than
two weeks, today refused to talk
about the Southern revolt. He
did cautiously criticize a move
by some Southern states to keep
their electoral votes from him.
The President said that the presi
dential year in politics in general
is having a bad effect on the
settlement of both foreign and
pct.i nroblems. Mr. Truman
plans to leave Key West, Florida eras earned the songbird
to return - to Washington Friday. $263,000.

Only .one woman appears on
the Treasury department's list
of the top ten wage earners. She
is Ginger Rogers, blonde dancer

from shapely Betty Grable, whose
$280,000 topped Hollywood stars
on a similar list last August. This
new list includes money earned
in 1945s and 1946.
However, it is not actually a

cause it does not include money
earned from investments. Dean

tion exercises in June. There is

Gentlemen to Get
Added Attraction
Additional incentive has been
added for Carolina gentlemen to
attend the CICA Spring Fashion
show, as if 68 complete outfits,
Bussy Woodbury's commentaries
and a string quartet for back
ground music wasn't enough.
If you're one of the lucky five,
you mignt also end up dating
any of the models you select with
all expenses paid for by CICA.
The master plan will work like
this: as they enter, all men will
write their names on slips of
paper. At the end of the show,
five names will be drawn. The
five men whose names are drawn
can then take their choice of
models, select an evening, and
prepare to start out with dinner
at the Carolina Inn with no
worries about the check.

Veterans attending school un
der the GI Bill and the Vocation

the old basis of $65 and $90 a
month are veterans who come
within the following categories:
(1) Those taking part-time in
stitutional training.
(2) Combination or co-operative

dependency by making out an
affidavit. Veterans are requested

Court Dismisses
Segregation Case
Richmond, Va., March 1 -(UP)-The
Virginia Supreme Court of
Appeals today dismissed a bus
segregation case against a Negro
woman convicted in Fairfax
county on a disorderly conduct
charge.
The appellant, Mrs. Lottie E.
Taylor, was traveling from Wash
ington to Madison county, Vir
ginia, on September 12. 1946.
Evidence disclosed that the
driver of the bus asked the wo
man to change seats before the
bus left Washington. He pointed
out segregation rules that would
make it necessary for her to
move when the reached the Vir
ginia line. She refused to com
ply. The passenger was removed
from the bus at the Fairfax coun
ty courthouse, arrested for dis
orderly conduct and convicted.
However, the unanimous opin
ion of the high court reverses
the conviction of the circuit
court. The driver's request that
the defendant change her seat
was based on a rule of the carrier
and not on any provision of law,
the opinion says. Her refusal . to
comply constitutes "at most" a
breach of the rules and regula
tions of the carrier.
Common carriers do not have
the power to provide that a vio
lation of their rules constitutes
an offense punishable by fine or
imprisonment, the opinion adds.
