In addition to being a three star general and head of the Bri tish Empire’s airborne forces, Sir Gen. Browning happens to be a second cousin of the late King George. Since the war, he has served as treasurer to Prince Phi lip. He’s also the husband of Daprne du Maurier, the author whose books are now household words all over the world.

If Federal Grants Are Used Hospitals Must Be Integrated WASHINGTON (TJPI) — By a brief but far - reaching order, the Supreme Court today let stand a lower court ruling that outlaws racial segregation of doctors and patients in hospitals built with the help of federal funds. The court did so by refusing to review a decision against two Greensboro, N. C., hospitals which had obtained assistance under the federal Hill - Burton Act. Without comment, the court turned down a request of the two hospitals for a high court hearing on the case. The impact of the action may ex tend to other states and communit ies which have used federal grants for hospital construction. The lawsuit was initiated in 1962 by 11 Negro doctors, dentists and patients in the Greensboro area. The Justice Department later was allowed to participate in the case on the side of the Negroes. In other actions today, the Sup reme Court: — Upheld by a 6-3 vote a rul ing that all of Texas’ 23 congres sional districts must be redrawn but opened the way for delaying the ac tion until after this year’s elections. — Refused to give a hearing to four New York City Negroes who claimed that the 1961 realignment of congressional districts'In Queens created a “Negro ghetto.” — Ruled by a unanimous 9-0 vote that the Federal Power Com mission has jurisdiction over whole sale sales of electric power in in terstate commerce without regard to state regulation. 85 Passengers Aboard Plane Lost In Storm TAHOE VALLEY, Calif.
