LOUIS, May (aWThe gov. eminent charged today that Mat thew Connelly and Lamar Caudle, who held high positions in the Truman administration, re ceived oil royalties for their help in an Income tax evasion case.

Wyllys Newcomb, chief govern ment prosecutor, leveled the charge in his opening statement at the conspiracy trial of the two men and Harry I. Schwimmer, a former Kansas City attorney. Newcomb said the oil royalties came, from Schwimmer, an attorney for Irving Sachs, Louis shoe manufacturer who was fined 40,000 in 1951 for tax evasion. The government prosecu tor charged that Connelly, ap pointments secretary to former President Harry Truman, received a $3,600 royalty and Caudle one for $3,300. He said, however, that Caudle gave his royalty back "but only after a St.

Louis grand jury had started an Investigation to de termine whether the Sachs case was lixed." Newcomb charged prosecution in the case was delayed although it was an "open and shut case." earlier an all-rural jury of eight men and four women was selected to hear the trial of the three men, See Page Sixteen, Column Three Couple Cited for Stage Hi 'AndersonvilleV Top Fiction Work rrom Wire Duvetchte.

May 7-The Su preme Court ruled today that an employer who claimed he could not afford to pay higher wages but refused to show his books to prove it had not, bargained "in good faith" with his employes. The court made it clear that the ruling did not apply to "every case in which economic inability is raised as an argument against Increased wages." It upheld, however, a National Labor Relations Board order against the Truitt Manufacturing steel makers, of Greensboro, N.C. Justice Hugo L. Black delivered the opinion of the court. Chief Justice Earl Warren and Justices Stanley F.

Reed, William O. Doug las, Harold H. Burton and Sher man MInton concurred. Justice Felix Frankfurter wrote an opinion dissenting in part from the majority ruling. He was lolned by Justices Tom C.

Clark and John M. Harlan. The dispute before the court arose when an ironworkers' union representing employes of the Tru itt company asked a wage increase of 10 cents per hour. The company offered a 24-cents-an-hour raise nd said that was all It could af ford to pay. The company said that it was undercapitalized, had never paid dividends' and that an hourly wage raise of more than 2Vi cents would put it out of business.

Demand by Union When the union's representa tives demanded that the company produce evidence to substantiate its claims and requested permission to have a certified public ac countant examine the books, the company refused. It told the union it had "no legal right" to such data. The labor board found that the company had failed to "bargain in good faith." It ordered the com xany supply information that would substantiate its claim. fcdoreA wourt-f -amieais et the rood-faith bargaining sec tion of the Taft-Hartley act did not require disclosure of financial data. The board appealed that judgment to the Supreme Court Justice Black noted that the ma jor objection raised by the com pany to the board order was that "the information requested was irrelevant to the bargaining process and related to matters ex clusively within the province of management." "We think that in determining whether the obligation of good- faith bargaining has been met the board has a right to consider an employer's refusal to give information about its financial status," Justice Black said.

"While Congress did not compel agreement between employers and bargaining representatives, it did require collective bargaining in the hope that agreements would result. "Good faith bargaining necessarily requires that claims made by either bargainer should be honest claims. This is true about an asserted Inability to pay an increase in wages." The justice said that the labor board had consistently held since the Taft-Hartley Act was passed that refusal to attempt to substantiate a claim of inability to pay "may support a finding of failure to bargain in good faith."

Connel ly and T. Lamar Caudle. The charge was made by Ellis N.

Slack, former chief of the appellate section of the Justice Department's tax division. The indictment against Connelly and Caudle, both high officials in the Truman administration, was handed down in St. Louis last Dec. 1. It named Slack as a coconspirator but did not make any specific charges against him.

Slack said the threat to prosecute him was made by Wyllys Newcomb, special assistant to the attorney Newcomb was in charge of the grand jury in vestigation in the Connelly-Cau dle case and is now the chief prosecutor in the case.

Lyndon Johnson turned his back today on any organized bid for thef Democratic) presidential nomination. "I shall go to Chicago with only one preconceived notion about the nominee that it won't be, me," he said.

The Senate, majority leader said his determination not to seek delegate support outside his home state of Texas had not been changed by his landslide victory over Gov. Allan Shivers for con trol of the Texas Democratic party. He is discouraging his friends in the South and elsewhere who talk of lining up delegate blocs to sup port him on at least the first few ballots at the Democratic conven tion which opens Aug. 13. "I will not be a part of a 'hold ing operation' or, a 'stop anybody' movement, the senator said, And so far as I am concerned, the delegation from Texas will try its level best to join in support ot the best qualified candidate of the party as a whole.

The Johnson triumph over Gov, Shivers, who bolted his party in 1952 to back Gen. Elsenhower and who had threatened to do it again, has been interpreted widely as a sharp blow to talk of new Democratic bolts in 1956, either to the Republicans or in the direction of a third party. "Let the forces of moderation take control at Chicago," Johnson said, "and we can write a platform on which both Sen.

Lister Hill of Alabama and Sen. Herbert Lehman of New York can run together for re-elecuon. ''I am sure we can do it Only the Republicans claim we can As Sen.

DECISION IS CITED Chancellor Dismisses Suit of Segregationists, Who Are Planning; Appeal By FRED TRAVIS Chttttnoogm limn Bureau NASHVllXE, May 7 A Davidson County Chancery Court today ruled that Tennessee laws requiring' segregation In public schools are invalid. The opinion, by Chancellor Wil liam J. Wade of Nashville, was rendered in dismissing- the efforts of the Tennessee Federation for Constitutional Government, it pro-segregation group, to block appropriations for state-supported college which admit Negroes. It was the first time a state court has said that Tennessee's laws and constitutional provision on segregation in schools are in violation of the federal Constitu tion and therefore of no effect. The case will be appealed to the state supreme court, officials of the Federation for Constitu tional Government said.

Chancellor Wade declined to peculate on the wisdom of the U.S. Supreme Court action in outlawing segregation in public schools, but said that the decision is the law of the land and "must be obeyed, or anarchy will re suit." dement Won't Comment Gov. dement, who was named a party In the suit brought by Dr. Donald Davidson, Vanderbilt University professor, and other prosegTegation leaders, declined comment on tfce decision, outer stats officials. Including- State George F.

McCanless, also declined comment. In rendering- his decision, Wade relied heavily upon past decisions ef the U.S. Supreme Court. In kiububx uiosa crc imo ana ivaa outlawing1 nuuuc wnooi seirren- tion, and earHei opinions hoMing that federal laws and the federal are paramount to state laws and constitutions, The chancellor's -decision ap-' -plied specifically only "to two state colleges Austin eay at Clarksville and East Tennessee State at Johnson City where Negroes' have been! admitted to graduate classes. But the sweeping terms Of the opinion, if later upheld by the state supreme court, implied that local school boards which order desegregation can rely upon state as well as federal courts for legal support Negroes Graduate Schools Negroes were admitted to the state college graduate schools last fall under a state education board plan providing for gradual desegregation over a five-year period.

That plan, approved by Federal District Judge Marion Boyd of Memphis, now Is being appealed to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The NAACP, which seeks immediate and complete desegregation of the state colleges, also Is appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court in an action designed to expedite the desegregation process. McCanless said his reply to the NAACP brief In the Memphis State College case, on which Judge Boyd ruled, will be filed with the U.S.

Supreme Court later this week. Meanwhile, in Washington, the Supreme Court, in a Louisiana case, again in effect ordered complete desegregation of state colleges. i The Federation for Constitutional Government challanged the authority of the state education board to establish the gradual desegregation process under which Negroes were admitted to the graduate schools. Chancellor Wade rejected this argument, citing the U.S. Supreme Court de- cree leaving it to local officials and federal district courts to work out desegregation plans.

Wade then praised the education board for having acted. "If Integration must be had in the state's graduate schools," he said, "certainly the state board of education Is the logical body to plan and supervise such pro cedure.
