Richard B.

Russell told a joints session of; the state's legislature outhern congressmen "simply do not have the strength (to) strike the: hand of the Supreme from the throats of the southern states. Although Russell and Sen. Herman Talmadge (D. who also addressed the legislature, said they would introduce new bills in Congress to perpetuate segregated schools, their remarks were permeated with defeatism. Not Pulling Together Said Russell: "Representatives nd senators from the 11 states Democrats' Disunity Seen At $100 Dinner Democratic leaders from all over the State converged on the Waldorf Astoria Saturday night like hungry vultures in a desert and paid $100 a piece for dinner to be reminded that the Democratic Party has fc problems.

DeSapio who has been the subject of an attack from liberals within the party for his alleged bossist tactics defended himself in a speech and said the liberals were doing "ir reparable damage to the party."

But a Bureau spokesman pointed out that in the past Negroes have accounted for about 99 per cent of the non white category.

The report said that from 1950 'the number of non whites jumped 22 per cent. The white population grew 14.4 per cent to a mid 1958 total of 154,795,000. The report also noted that the TRAVELER mmimt of the. old Confederacy no longer piesent a front." Without such a front, indicated Russell, his bills cannot pass. As a key man fn the south's fight on a federal" lever against school integration, remarks are considered important.

They could well mirror the line to be taken by southern legislators as more and more of the area's schools become desegregated. The line roughtly would be, "we were not strong enough, to do anything about (Continued on page 4) This was an obvious reference to the charges frequently made that Negroes, Puerto Ricans, and Pro testants are excluded from the Democratic Party's inner coun cils in New York City. Michael H. Pendergast, state chairman, praised DeSapio, and warned that "we must never allow ourselves to be dictated to by minority factions." Despite an effort to display unity at the festive affair, the number of huddles, worried faces engaged in conversation before and after the dinner left observers with the. impression party members were seriously concerned about the problem of insurgency in New York City.

The shake up of the Tenth Div ision which includes 135th E. 126th and W. 123rd. precincts, rocked the police department last year when a multi million dollar ring on the East Side was uncovered and the Commissioners' office reviewed films that showed a number of Division men entering and leaving the numbers' drops.

The entire division was transferred. During last week's sliakeup Ftl. Cecil Bush was discharged, and Capt. Carl Vollmcr who took over the W. Precinct, the largest in the City, two years ago was replaced by Capt.

Dennis Noonan who formerly commanded the 84th Precinct in Brooklyn. Capt. Vollmer who replaced Capt. Flood, now elevated to the rank of Inspector, held the command two years.

Chief Inspector William McGowan, Inspector Herbert Kochler; Inspector Edward F. Hayes, were relieved of their commands and shifted to the Commissioner's office. The three men, charged with laxity, were reduced to the rank of captain last week.

At least that is what Clarence Marshburn of 271 W. 141st St, a chef on the Pennsylvania seems to think. Mr. Marshburn was one of the nine member dining car crew of the Pennsylvania's Potomac and Palmetto Limited when it jumped the tracks last week at Middle River, last week traveling at 80 miles an hour. 230 On Train There were 230 passengers on the train at the time, but only 34 of these and five members or the dining car crew were injured and required hospitalization.

Besides Mr. Marshburn, ine inured dining car men were wait ers Spencer Butler of Brooklyn, Charles Coleman, cook, oi wesi Philadelphia; Lewis W. Lee, waiter, New York; Foster Hen derson, James Fergus ana Nor ton Williams, waiters, of New York. At his home on Sunday Mr. Marshburn, who suffered burns on nis icit leg, was suu a uu nervous from his experience.

A chef on the railroad for 25 years, was the first wreck he had ever been in, he explained. "I thought my time had come," he said. With pots and pans flying around my head, I thought that was the end. Never having been in a railroad wreck before, I never realized until then how vulnerable was one to injury or death in a dining car kitchen in the case of a smashup."
