WILEY for Fire Insurance--Adv. 1954 Sycamore St. HAACP Loses Effort To Quasfi Suif By Bar RICHMOND A The Virginia branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and two of its affiliated organizations have lost in an effort to quash a suit brought by the State Bar. A motion to dismiss charges against them of unauthorized practice of law was overruled yesterday by Judge Brocknbrough Lamb of Richmond Chancery Court. The Negro associations contended in their motion that a January decision of the U.S.

Supreme Court controlled arid prevented the litigation before Judge Lamb. The high court decision in question threw out one of a group of so-called anti-NAACP laws actel by the General Assembly in 1956. The statute which was invalidated redefined the offense of soliciting business or lawyers. The NAACP argued that the high court decision meant thai activities of the Negro ization "are modes of expression and association protected by the first and 14th Amendments which Virginia may not prohibit as improper solicitation of legal business. However Judge Lamb ruled this decision could not be construed as moaning a stale lacks authority to de ine and regulate the practice of law within its borders.

The bar contends in its suit that the NAACP, in filing school integration suits, has gon.e outside the code of ethics which govern client-attorney relationships. The judge held there was no foundation to the defendants' sug gestion that the suit was brough "to thwart them in their aims and objectives. 5. She's loved every minute of anyhow. Miss Nolan, an attractively vholesome brune'te from Vires, says she can't wait until she's dethroned.

And then she left on a trip that took her across the States and to South America Europe and Africa. She saw It except the inside of the bes hotels and all the airports.

The purpose of the trip, always, was commercial. The Miss Universe contest is spon sored by several firms, and th hitleholder automatically become a kind of supersalesrhan. Mis Nolan found herself attendinj sales conventions and such, pro moting bathing suits, a soft drink soap and spark plugs. She had to make speeches November, she had taught herse! enough English to get by; today she speakes it fluently) and giv prizes. She had to shake the clammy hands of thousands hotsot young (and old) executives She had to pose for pictures, al ways smiling, holding the com panies' products.

"At one time in Miami," sh says, "I just collapsed. The doc tor said it was overwork. I wa in hospital in Miami five day Then they let me go home tc Buenos Aires for a month." As soon as she was well enougl she resumed her travels, an when last seen, she was packin for another sales conventio somewhere. She took with he her bathing suit and her smile She has managed to get horn to Buenos Aires and her mothe and fiance four times during th year. It's expensive (roughly $80 per round trip).
