Dudley Henriques, manager for Delaware Auto Sales, and one of the apartment planners, said apartment units in the building will rent for from $75 to $125 a month.

It will be ready for occupancy in about a year.

A corporation to build and maintain the apartment will be capitalized at about $1,500,000. It will be headed by Albert Kutner, owner of the property, a used car lot. David Snellenberg is legal representative and W. Ellis Preston is the architect. AP Wlrephoto TEACHER HERO ACCUSED James VV.

Sixth Court of Appeals today granted a temporary injunction to prevent landowners in Haywood County, Tennessee, from evicting approximately 300 Negro sharecroppers because they had registered to vote. The three-judge court delar-ed, however' the order was not to be construed as preventing "legitmate action" by landowners where their intentions were not intended to deprive Negroes of their voting rights.

In a separate decision, the court dismissed a mandamus action which would have required U. S. District Judge Marion S. Boyd of Memphis, to take a similar action involving 400 sharecroppers in Fayette Tenn, It was understood, however, government attorneys would use the Haywood County deci-! sion as a precedent for asking Judge Boyd to issue a tempor-iry injunction for Fayette Coun-' ty.
