In a release from the Pennsylvania Insurance commissioner, the following law was quoted: Section 689.1. Unlawful Coercion in Contracting Insurance: Whoever, being engaged in the business of financing the purchase of real or personal property or of lending money on the security of real or personal property, requires, as a condition precedent to financing the purchase of such property or to lending money upon the security of a mortgage thereon, or 'as a condition prerequisite for the renewal or extension of any such loan or mortgage, or for the performance of any other act In connection therewith, that the person for whom such purchase is to be financed, or to whom the money is to be loaned, or for whom such extension, renewal or other act is to be granted or, performed, shall negotiate any policy of insurance or renewal thereof, covering such property through a particular insurance company, agent or broker, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and, upon conviction thereof shall be sentenced to pay a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars and in the case of individuals or the responsible officers, agents or employes of a corporation, partnership or association, to undergo imprisonment not exceeding one (1) year, or both.

1951, and signed by John S. Fine." Southerners Oppose Courts Decision (Continued from Page 1) of Southern Democrats in the Senate, termed the decision a "flagrant abuse of judicial power." He said questions like that of segregation should be decided by the lawmakers, not the courts. Other Southerners were plainly unhappy, but they did not go so far as Russell. Sen. Daniel (D-Tex.) said the verdict was "disappointing" and that he couldnt' see how the court could arrive at such a decision.

Sen. Ellender (D-La.) said "I am of course very much disappointing" and that he couldn't see to criticize the Supreme Court. It is bound to have a very great effect until we readjust ourselves to it." He said there would be "violent repercussions" if enforcement were ordered too quickly. Rep. Keating (R-NY), a strong backer of civil rights legislation, said "there is no doubt about the soundness of the court's decision." Gov.

William B. Umstead of North Carolina said in a statement put out by his office that he was "terribly disappointed." J. M. Hinton, South Carolina conference president of the National Assn. for the Advancement of Colored People, said: "Christianity and democracy have been given a great place in America through the elimination of segregation in public schools and communism has lost a talking point." The bitterness of some Southerners was exemplified by Sen.

Eastland (D-Miss), who declared: "The South will not abide by nor obey this legislative decision by a political court Integrated schools are not desired by either race in the South. "An attempt to integrate our schools would cause great strife and turmoil We will take whatever steps are necessary to retain segregation in education." Sen. Stennis (D-Miss) said the ruling "leaves us with a problem as far-reaching as any we have met since the war between the States." Justices of the Supreme Court, he said in a statement, "abandoned their role as judges of the law and organized themselves into a group of social engineers." "A tragic ruling," commented Rep. Winstead (D-Miss), "not too surprising when we realize the calibre of men this administration, as well as the previous administration, has seen fit to appoint, and the pressure on the court by the present attorney general."
