Big Plane Contract
WASHINGTON (IP) Sen.
Styles Bridges fired the first post
election Republican blast at the
Defense Department today by de
manding investigation of an Air
Force contract with Kaiser-Frazer
Corp. for C-119 Flying Boxcar car

The New Hampshire Republi

of either the Senate Armed Serv

in the next Congress, served no
tice there will be a double-bar -
reled Congressional inquiry into
the “excessive costs” of the Kai
ser-Frazer contract.
WHY THE DIFFERENCE
The point of the investigations,
Bridges said in a statement, will
be to determine why Kaiser-Frazer
has a $189,952,519 contract to build
159 of the cargo planes at a cost
162 persons and resulted in 30 deaths
' with property damage amounting
to $370,880. Last year 359 accidents
resulted in 206 injured and 13 dead
through October.
During the month of October the

Arguments In
School Cases
Are Scheduled
WASHINGTON (IP) Rail
roads mav no longer require
colored passengers to travel
in separate “jim crow” coa
ches as a result of Supreme
Court action today.
The high bench rejected an ap
peal from a lower court ruling that
separation of white and colored pas
sengers is an unconstitutional bur
den on interstate commerce.
The issue was appealed by the
Atlantic Coast Line Railroad. The
court acted in a brief order, with
no opinion. ,
Segregation of coach passengers
is general in Southern states, the
principal exception being North-
South through trains.
Despite today’s action. Negro
leaders said they do not look for
immediate abandonment of sea ne
gation on tr»s. It was felt that
complete extiaption of the “Jim
Crow" car is some years, and sev
eral lawsuits, distant.
/iFFECTS BUSES, TOO
The ruling would presumably have
a bearing on bus transportation,
too. It was pointed out that seg
regation on buses has caused more
dietuifcanees than have rail oad
segregation rules.
Today’s case, which is on its
second round through federal
courts, was started by William C.
Chance, 65. Parmelee, N. C., a Negro
school principal. It is one of a
long series supported by the Na
tional Association for the Adance
ment of Colored People in its fight
to abolish segregation in trans
portation and other areas of living.
SCHOOL CASE NEXT
The Supreme Court has already
agreed to hear arguments next
month in four cases testing segre
gation in public schools.
[Chance was ejected from dn ACL
coach at Emporia, Va.. on Jane 85,
1948. when he refused to qhange
from a white to a Negro oaech.
Then he was arrested for disord
erly conduct by local police. He
sued for $25,000 damages from the
railroad and Alvah S. Lambeth, the
conductor who put him off the
train.
A federal jury in Richmond
awarded Chance SSO for wrongful
arrest but nevertheless found the
railroad’s segregation regulation was
valid and reasonable. The finding
was reversed by the Fourth U S
Circuit Court of appeals on Jan.
27, 1951.«
