Returns With Latin Praises WASHUNGTON, D.C.—The How ard University Choir returned to the United States this week follow ing an 80-day concert tour of Lat in America which was described by Warner Lawson, choir director and dean of the Howard School of Music, as "absolutely fantastic.” Some 300 relatives and friends of the singers cheered wildly as he Varig Airlines Super Constel lation landed at Wa.shington Na tional Airport Sunday, following its flight from Port-of-Spain, Trini- day, W. I., the site of the choral group’s final concert. On hand to greet Dean and Mrs. Lawson as they came down the gangway were Howard President and Mrs Jas. M. Nabrit, Jr. "I have never seen anything like it," Lawspn said, referring to the plaudits for the singers in 16 countries where they per formed. "Everywhere we went, the reception was terrific." One such reception caused the Choir more than a little concern, however. This occurred in late July at Lima, Peru, where custom dictates that the audience express its appreciation by stamping its feet. “It wa? good t6 hear that they liked us,” Lawson said, "but I was afraid the concert hall might not be able to stand the vibration, and that the roof would literally fall in.” It was apparent that the Choir’s reputation as one of the finest choral group’s in the United States had preceded it into Latin Ameri ca. Three-fourths of its concerts were sell-outs, and attendance fig ures set new records.

Police Officer Admits Refusal of Three Negro Students to Move To Rear of Bus Was Sole Reason For Their Arrest in Alabama GADSDEN, Ala. — A police lieutenant admitted in Etowah County Court here that the only reason he arrested three Negro teen agers on Aug. 16 was that they refused to move to the rear of a Greyhound bus. The admission was made by Lt. Jesse Adams at the trial of Miss Patricia Shuttlesworth, 17, on Sept. 6. She and her sister, Fredericka, 15, and her brother, Fred, 13, were the three arrest ed. They are the children of the Rev. and Mrs. Fr«t L. Shuttles worth, Birmingham civil rights leaders. Adam’s admission came during sharp cross-examination by Pat ricia’s attorney, Len Holt of Nor folk, Virginia.

County, Judge Ray burn transferred Patricia’s case to Juvenile Court, where those Of her brother and sister had already been referred. All are to appear in Juvenile Court September 16.

Later Patricia told reporters that a police officer slapped her sister and almost choked her brother to 'death. It was also brought out at the trial that the arrests were made as a result of complaints from Greyhound representatives. The courtroom was packed dur” ing Patricia’s trial. In addition to many Birmingham and Gadsden Negroes who attended to show support for Patricia, there were many white persons present. The Judge denied a motion by Hirit to desegregate the courtroom. Shuttlesworth reported that he genied no hostility on th* part of the white spectators. Afterward, charge that night he drove to he Jjtt^several of the whites shook Hoft^^and and congratulated him on his handling of the defense. Meantime, there was new harass ment of Mr. Shuttlesworth. He was notified by the state that his driver’s license has been sq^pend- ed for a year. This grew out of a citation he received on a speeding Gadsden to try to get his children out of jail. He denied speeding and pointed out that this was o^ly the second traffic violation he had been charged with m the last year. He said that in 20 years of driving he received just four citations and had never had an accident.
