(M Diplomats reported today that American ef forts to form a united front in Southeast Asia are rolling again after weeks of confusion-and hesi tation during which little progress was made. Three lines of action are nov considered probable: 1. French Premier Joseph Lanie in talks with U.S. Ambassador Douglas Dillon at Paris, is expect ed to present a concrete proposi tion for American intervention in Indochina. Dillon is said to have mad clear to Laniel that such a propo si tion would provide a basis fo further consideration of American plans by President Eisenhower Secretary of State Dulles and othe leaders "here.

2. Some kind of U.N. interven tion in the situation has becom much more likely than it was week ago. There is thought her of getting the United Nations send some kind of investigatinj group to Indochina. Dulles has told the French tha one of the big problems of Amer can policy for Indochina is tha the United Nations has not con cerned itself with the Inclochines crisis and has not clarified wha Dulles regards as the moral is sues.

3. Plans for i i a talk among the United States, Britain France and other friendly nation interested in Southeast Asia ar going forward again after' havin been sidetracked for a few days The Western Big Three and An tralia and New Zealand, as we as Asian nations like Thailand an the Philippines, together with th Indochinese states, would be pected to take some part in thes talks. They probably will be hei in either Washington or London.

children equal educational opportunities. In the District of Columbia case, Chief Justice Warren said the decision announced in the case of the states also would apply to Washington but under a different section of the Constitution. "We hold," Warren said, "that racial segregation in the public schools of the District of Columbia is a denial of the due process of law guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution." The Fifth Amendment applies to the federal government and Congress makes the laws for this federal district. As the chief justice noted, the District of Columbia case hinged on the "clue process" clause of the Fifth Amendment rather than the "equal protection clause" of the 14th Amendment, on which the state cases were based. The court has ruled that the Fifth A applies only to the federal government--not to the states.

In the District of Columbia case Warren said: "Segregation in public education is not reasonably related to anv objective on Negro children of the district a burdei that constitutes an arbitrary fie Court To Hear (Continued From Page One) "Only in this way can it be de- if segregation in public schools deprives these plaintiffs (Negroes) of the equal protection of the laws. "Today, education is perhaps the most important function of state a local governments. Compulsory school attendance laws and the great expenditures for education both demonstrate our rec- ognization of the importance of education to our democratic society It was at this point in the opin ion that Warren said the court believes segregation denies Negro proper governmental and thus it imposes privation of their liberty In vola tion of the due process Atty. Gen. Brownell, who was in the courtroom and heard the read ing of Warren's opinions, said he had no comment.

Former Secre tary of State Dean Achoson, also in the courtroom, told newsmen the court had delivered a "grea and statesman-like decision." SLEEP WALKING SEEN CAUSE OF BOY'S DEATH PARKERSBURG, W. Va. W) -The parents of a 12-year-old school boy who plunged to his death from a speeding passenger train nea Hancock, Md. Saturday night be lieve he may have been walking i his sleep. Mr.

and Mrs. Charles H. Braden gave that speculation on the deal! of their j'Oimg son, Ray, who wa aboard a special 0 train re turning West Virginia schoolboy patrolmen from a sightseeing tri to Washington. Ray's shoes and some of hi clothing were found in his seat 01 the train, and the Bradens sai he had walked in his sleep 01 previous occasions. No him leave the train.

A second special, carrying more West Virginia youngsters, spotted his body between the main line tracks a mile west of Sir John's Run, W. near Hancock. The telegraph operator at Hancock was notified and a rail- oad motor car was sent for the ody. The death occurred about 9:15 m. EST.

The train would have rrived in Parkersburg at 3 a.m. Ironically, Ray had gone on the rip on a draw of a straw. He was ust an assistant patrolman at the choo). But when two extra spaces urned up, he and two others drew or them, and Ray was one of the inners.

It vas opened in September, 1952. Sixty nine Prince Edward fam- lies were Involved in the segre gallon case. Last December, two Richmond Times-Dispatch reporters interviewed 19 of the families and found only five who definitel favored doing away with the seg. rogation policy. Six families favored the status quo, while eight were undecidec or took middleground positions.

The suit was brought in the name of Dorothy E. Davis, a 36 year-old pupil. Dorothy told the reporters she did not favor end ing segregation. "I don't think we'd be happy and I don't i they be happy," she said. But there were others wh agreed i Mrs.

Viola Neal Green Bay, who declared: "They can equalize and they can equalize and they still won't ge schools equal until they end seg regation." "In these days, it is doubtful tha any child may reasonable be ex pectcd to succeed in life if he i denied the opportunity of an ed ucalion. Such an opportunity where the state has undertake tq provide it, is a right whic must be made available to all equal terms."

They now admit a new patient every 1.6 seconds! There are many reasons for this dramatic increase.

Our population has been growing steadily. Nine out of ten babies are now born in hospitals. Advances in medical and surgical knowledge enable hospitals to treat a wider variety of diseases, More people can afford hospital care because of hospital insurance and other prc-paymcnt plans. And our whole attitude toward hospitals has changed: we now call on them for help in prolonging life rather than as a last resort in serious illness. Even though the average stay in hospitals has dropped from 12 days in 1938 to days, so many more people are being admitted that the facilities of most voluntary hospitals are seriously overburdened.

What's more, their operating costs have risen sharply. Improved techniques often require expensive new equipment. And, in many cases, there is a serious shortage of nurses, attendants and other personnel. All of which has created acute problems for the voluntary hospitals of the nation. Everyone can help by taking an active interest in the problems of the voluntary hospitals in his community.

Contribute generously to hospital fund drives. Volunteer your spare- time services, too--so that highly trained hospital personnel can be freed for work that demands their special skills. Everyone will benefit--llic liospitals, your entire community! Instifufe off Life Insurance 488 MADISON AVENUE, NEW VORK 22, N.Y..
