Versatile Playsuit North Splits On Gallup Poll Concerning Civil Rights 'V Philadelphia Father Convicted Of Fraud; Children Become Wards PHILADELPHIA (ANP) Eight cnlldren became wards of the state last week when their father, Walter Russell, 48. was convicted of de-irauding the Pennsylvania State Department of Public Assistance ot $8,458,54 in relief funds. After his conviction the childrens stepmother, Mrs. Mary Ruth Russell, 31, was forced to give them up to the care of the Municipal Court. She said she earned only $4 a night working seven nights a week in a restaurant.

Relatives of the children, she said refused to help her, and the state denied a petition for aid. The children now in the care of the state arc: Edward, 13, Walter 12; Ernestine, ll; Mary Robert, James, Irene, 6, and Earl, 4. Russell has been sentenced to serve three years in the county prison. His children are all by his Hrst wife who died last June. For nearly four years, he accepted re-1 grants of $89 to $204 a month, wlille he reportedly earned $10,000.

Appeal Case NEW ORLEANS (ANP) The state appointed attorneys for John Honeycutt, who more than a week ago was convicted and sentenced to tile for aggravated rape on a white woman at Opelousas, have ser- ved notice on the trial judge that they will appeal to the state su-I preme court lor a rehearing. The trial Judge has set June 1 as the time limit for the filing of briefs. With a new lease on life Honeycutt may yet testify against his nb- ductors who spirited him away from the city jail in Opelousas, to a lonely spot along the Atchafalnyo river with the intention of murdering him. He escaped while his kidnappers flipped a coin to determine who would Rill him. Honeycutt's would be lynchers are now out on $5000 bail each.

But the same grand Jury which indicted the alleged rapist after his return to Opelousas, ignored investigating his abductors and they have yet to face this inquisitive body. However, since It is now certain that Honeycutts case will lay over until next fall, the grand jury may be forced to act in the kidnapping case, giving the doomed man an opportunity to testify against the trio. do you think the federal government should go in requiring employers to hire people without regard to their race, religion, color or nationality?

Texas, a poll tax state, proposed last week to put the issue to a state- i wide referendum.

ANP The latest of survess conducted by the Oallup poll reveals some Interesting views on President Truman's controversial civil rights issues. Results generally show that the public itself has mixed views on the items contained in the program.

On this issue, polled results in the north find even that section closely divided on its attitude. -The question was asked: "How far i 11 -i Gunter Field Fire Fighter MakesGood A iew weeks ago a fire broke out on the outside of the Air Force Base Gunter Field.

The Oklahoma House of Representatives I put its stamp of approval on a bill to admit Negroes to the State Uni-j versity at Norman and Oklahoma 1 A. and M. at Stillwater by a 79-20 vote Tuesday.

The House bill would permit Ne-; groes to attend state-owned white institutions on a segregated basis.

The bill now goes to the Senate. The legislature's action is an outgrowth of a suit filed against the state by Ada Lois Sipuel. In a ruling by the United States Supreme Court the state of Oklahoma was ordered to admit Negroes when equal educational facilities are not offered elsewhere. WASHINGTON (SNS) James D.
