J5 the Gazette and Daily, York', Morning, 1 954 42 61. DEATHS DeathsSdfuneralr0 (Continued from First Page T'H AFFIDAVIT (Continued From Page 2) pany was made public Sept. 12. It was based on hearings in Wash- ington during May, June" and July of this year. Principal reasons for his finding were given by Downing as an article by Travis published in the -union newspaper Aug.

15, 1949 and testimony by three ex-members of the Communist party, two of whom had been expelled from union office. In the article published at the time Travis first signed a T-H affidavit, the union officer said: "Since the interest of the interna-" tional union is uppermost in my. mind I have been confronted. with the problem of resigning from the Communist party, of which I have been a member, in order to make it possible for me to sign the Taft-Hartley affidavit. I have decided with the utmost reluctance and with a great sense of indignation to take such a step.

My resignation has now taken place and as a result I have now signed the affidavit." On the basis of this statement Downing found that Travis, de- spite his resignation from the party, "continued to believe in the principles of communism and the Communist party." Therefore, he held, the affidavit and others signed later by Travis were false. The union contends the NLRB had no right to conduct the hearings and will contest the ruling in court, if it is upheld by the board.

Nickey. George Kovalak, Brooks hotel clerk, testified that the defendant was on the sixth floor of the Brooks about 9:30 p.m. and had "no business" there. When the man left, Kovalak watched him enter the nearby Colonial hotel. The room clerk then summoned Patrolman Charles E.

Alwine who testified he followed the defendant to Hotel Yorktowne where he was apprehended. Nickey did not ask for testimony from the man who gave his address as Greensboro, N. C. Detective Lt. Martin L.

Avis later reported that a general broadcast was sent out on the man. Avis said the man gave detectives conflicting stories about the person he was seeking in the hotels. PARKING LOT BIDS From Page 3) the approval of the court. Still said that James McDowell, a member of a former board of commissioners, had expressed opposition to a long term lease when the matter was broached some years ago. The attorney said he felt that no long term lease should be executed "Because you don't know what future commissioners might want to do with the lot." Opposes Five-Year Term Democratic minority commissioner Jennings B.

Hartman commented that although he joined GOP commissioner Walter L. Trout and Fitzgerald in asking for bids to lease the lot, he had at the time expressed his objection to the five-year, provision. "I still prefer a two-year lease with a 60-day cancellation clause," Hartman said. "We can't tell what a future board may have in mind. We must keep in mind that courthouse facilities are overcrowded and we have available ground and building (the annex)." Capitol's current lease contains a 60-day cancellation clause.

County solicitor Elsesser, to whom the bids were referred, stated that the terms of such a contract to lease county property must originate with the commissioners and are subject to the aporoval of the court. In addition to Attorney Still, other interested parties attending the meeting were Carpenter and Attorney S. S. Laucks the latter representing Community Hotel company.

Eighteen of the plaintiffs hau refused to answer during the House Committee's 1951 probe into communism questions on the around of self-incrimination, and the other five had refused to appear before the committee for the same reason. A motion to dismiss the complaint was made by the film companies, on which all the allegations of the complaint are considered as true. Judge Meyer ruled that if the defendants had con-certedly refused to deal with the plaintiffs without justification, they would have been liable.

While he did not find justif icat'on. he ruled that the plaintiffs had failed to show a lack of justification. He pointed out that, under the law of California, the use of the privilege against self-incrimination permits the drawing of an inference of guilt even in criminal cases. He said that if a person could be convicted of a crime based upon an unfavorable inference, employers certainly did- not have to employ such persons. He also pointed out that school teachers in California and other public employes are required to answer questions put to them by investigating committees under penalty of dismissal and it would be illogical for the defendants to pay damages for acting as the law required the state of California to act PITTENGER On Sept.

63-sl7-lt MISSISSIPPI (Continued from First Page) outlawing public school segregation. The state. Senate gave the amendment the last of three required approvals yesterday, one week after the House overwhelmingly passed it. The amendent is the first product of the Legal Educational Advisory Committee, created by the 1954 legislature to find ways of around the Supreme Court decision. Later, the LEAC will recommend specific laws it hopes will make the "last resort" unnecessary.

LEAC members promised to support a public school building program to improve Mississippi's schools if the amendment is ratified. They agreed that better Negro facilities would help keep segregated schools on a voluntary basis. But some LEAC members, holding decisive legislative posts, have refused to support appropriations for school buildings unless the amendment is ratified. If the people ratify the amendment, it will be inserted in the state constitution at the -next legislature. Under the amendment, the legislature could: 1 Abolish schools throughout Mississippi by a two thirds vote.

2 By a majority vote, set up a local option plan whereby individual counties and school districts could abolish their schools. 3 Sell, lease or rent state-owned property to private individuals or corporations. 4 Pay tuition for students to attend private tary Anthony Eden's plan; on a seven-nation West European defense alliance, as a substitute for the French-vetoed European Defense Community (EDC). To Meet Sept. 27 Representatives of the seven nationsBritain, France, Italy, Belgium, The Netherlands, Luxembourg and West Germany will meet in London around Sept.

27 to work out details of the proposed alliance. Widespread reports in the French capital said Norway and Denmark might also join in. Arriving 'in London after his Paris talks, Eden indicted he still did not have full American and French suDport for all phases of his program for rearming West Germany. He said a "wide measure of agreement" was reached but warned that "a good deal of work remains to be done." Informed American and British sources in London said earlier that Washington has decided to support Britain's plan for quickly rearming West Germany within the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). These same sources said the United States has reserved its position on the proposed new seven-nation alliance.

In Strasbourg, France, the European assembly also was talking of alternatives to EDC, but decided there was too much diplomatic activity to get a clear picture immediately. See Need Of Strength French agreement to the Eden plan came after two days of talks that climaxed a flying swing by the British foreign secretary through West European capitals. In a joint communique, Eden and Mendes-France said they were fully agreed on the importance of strengthening the Atlantic community and achieving a unity "in which the United Kingdom will play a full part." One of the principal French objections to EDC was that Britain was not a mem-ber. A French foreign ministry spokesman said the communique meant agreement on the basic idea of Eden's plan. Mendes-France told newsmen diplomats will try to iron out the still existing differences before the London meeting.

These differences also will be examined tomorrow when Dulles arrives in London for talks with Eden and Prime Minister Churchill. DINKY APPEAL (Continued from First Page) the 'puddle the 'galloping the 'grasshopper' or the "Its management has shown a total lack of imaginative and progressive thinking and instead has subjected the patrons of fhis area to the type of service one might expect to encounter in a community of 1,000 people, rather than in a metropolitan area of 202,000 persons." The brief stated that "no evidence was presented by the applicant (PRR) indicating a loss on this branch from its entire operation." It earlier was stated that over-all passenger service loss for 1951 was $71,687,703 for the railroad with $44,924 on the York branch. "It has been held by numerous authorities that in determining the question whether or not a railroad should be compelled to continue the operation of a branch line, the entire system of the carrier should be viewed as a unit, and the entire revenues of the system are to be considered and not merely the direct return from the. branch line itself," the Cohen brief asserted. "The branch line is not to be considered as an independent enterprise, but rather in the nature of a feeder system." Appellants in the case are Mrs.

"The 10 million dollars jthe Fine administration has allocated for "administration of the sales tax law has been a waste of money. I will support Senator Leader's tax program as the best solution to our financial problems," said Miller.
