WEDNESDAY, MAY 26, 1954 KLYTHEVILLE (ARK.) COURIER NEWS PA01 MINI Ike's Housing Plan May Be Hurt By Segregation Ruling (AP) A Supreme Court action on segregation has alienated a key Southern supporter of public housing and may have thrown into jeopardy this phase of President Eisenhower's housing program. The court on Monday turned down an appeal by the San Francisco Housing Authority from a California lower court ruling that a policy of racial segregation in public low-rent housing projects violated the constitutional guarantee of equal protection of the laws. This, in effect, let stand the lower court decision that three Negroes were entitled to admission to a public housing project in San Francisco built for families of Italian extraction. Sen. Maybank (D- SO announced that the Supreme Court action "makes it impossible for me, believing in local government, to support any public housing." Longtime Advocate For years Maybank has been a steadfast of housing and it was he who just recently moved in the Senate Banking Committee to salvage the President's public housing recommendations ignored in House passage of general housing legislation.

On Maybank's motion, the Banking Committee tentatively approved authority to build as many as 200,000 units of low-rent public housing a year to an over-all total of 810,000 units. This would cloak Eisenhower with ample power to carry out his proposal for a four- year program involving 140,000 net units. On the basis of Maybanks' reversal of position, it seemed likely he might fight at a closed-door session of the Banking Committee to strip the bill of its public housing provisions. Maybank is the committee's senior Democrat. A key Republican on the Banking Committee said Maybank's opposition probably would kill any chance of congressional approval of, Eisenhower's public housing program.

Asking that his name not be used, the GOP senator said that in his judgment, Maybank was speaking for all Southern Democrats. Sen. Sparkman (D-Ala), a committee member, said he would have to study Maybank's statement before stating his own position. MCCARTHY (Continued from Page 1) ential treatment of Schine. McCarthy Walks Out At one point, McCarthy arose, announced he was leaving until the "drivel" was over, and stalked from the room.

He came back in about 20 minutes while Miller was still testifying. McCarthy and Symington (D- Mo) got into a brief hassle when McCarthy referred to James A. Wechsler, editor of the New York Miller said he had no personal knowledge of the Post articles, that he was away from the post when reporters called there. At one point, Symington said the McCarthy subcommittee had employed "former Communists" on its staff. He put it as a question to Miller: "Did you know that former Communists in 18 months have been paid staff members of the committee?" "No, sir, I did not," Miller replied- McCarthy declared the only time Symington "raises his voice" is to defend communism.

He told Symington he had a former Communist sitting right behind Elizabeth Bentley: Miss Bentley, who says she was once a courier for a Communist spy ring, has been a frequent witness in recent years at congressional hearings. Symington said he had made no attack either on the committee or on McCarthy. He said when he referred to former Communists as paid staff members, "I was stating fact." and added: "Whether a Communist has reformed or not reformed, only God will decide his true reformation." Miller was dismissed from the stand when the committee took a luncheon recess. Post, as a one-time "top official Symington said there was "no justification for the statement. Symington said it was his understanding Wechsler has testified that when he was "around 17, 18 or 19 he was a member of the Young Communist League, that he left that organization, and that since then he has been more and more active against Communism." The McCarthy-Symington row blew up when McCarthy questioned Miller about a series of articles in the New York Post on Schine's life at Ft.

Dix. McCarthy called the Post "a Communist sheet." Fire Trucks Turn Blue SIDNEY, Neb.

FBI Arrests, 11 Puerto Rico Nationalists WASHINGTON UP) Atty. Gen.

Brownell today announced the arrest of 11 leaders of the Nationalist party of Puerto Hfico on charges of seditious conspiracy to overthrow the U.S. government. Six of the arrests were made in Chicago, four in New York City and one in San Juan, the capital of Puerto Rico. Brownell placed detainers against six other members of the Nationalist party, including the four in jail here charged with shooting five members of the House of Representatives on March 1. The other two detainers were placed against two Puerto Ricans now imprisoned in the federal correctional institution at Danbury, Conn.

The roundup resulted from a lengthy FBI investigation into Nationalist party activity extending back to 1936. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover noted in connection with today's roundup that members of the party were responsible for a bloody revolutionary attempt in Puerto Rico in October and November, 1950, for the attempted assassination of former President Harry S. Truman at Blair House in November of that year, and for the recent shooting affray in the House here. The Nationalist party of Puerto Rico long has been on the attorney general's subversive list, described as an organization seeking "to alter Sears Big Midsummer Sale Event SAVE! SAVE!

Hospital Insurance Plan Outlined LITTLE ROCK (fP) Arkansas Welfare Director A. J. Moss yesterday outlined a hospital insurance program in which state funds would be matched with federal money as a means of furnishing additional medical care for the state's needy.

Moss told delegates to the 24th annual convention of the Arkansas Hospital that the Welfare Department has $200,000 which may be used for payment of hospital bills of Arkansans who can't afford medical aid. Moss pointed out that if federal funds could be secured, three times as many hospitals days could be made available to the indigent. "The proposed hospitalization the form of government of the United States by unconstitutional means." Hoover said the party, founded in 1922, has a history "filled with violence." plan would require legislation, but no additional state money," he said- Blytheville Man Wins Graduate Assistantship Robert Louis Holt of Blytheville has been awarded a graduate assistantship in pharmaceutical chem- stry for the 1954-55 session at the University of Mississippi.

Lewis seems to be taking on the unique dual role of big-time banker and big-time labor leader. The 74-year-old United Mine Workers chief never hiuj confirmed it, but five years ago the UMW reportedly acquired control of the National'sank of Washington, the capital's oldest. And yesterday, it was reported that Lewis or closely connected with him and the UMW gained majority stock control in a second Washing to bank the Hamilton National.

Hamilton directors held a special meeting and named as their new president Barnum L. Colton, who also is head of the National Bank. Now banking groups here expect Hamilton National and the National Bank of Washington to merge soon. This would create a banking institution only second in size to the Riggs National Bank in the capital. Two from Here Attend Staff TB Board Meet William H.

Garrott, general Sunshine, Rain, Warm Nights Needed for Crops LITTLE ROCK replanted cotton needs sunshine and warm nights for speedy growth, the Federal-State Crop Reporting Service said yesterday. Cotton over most of the state was reported heavily damaged by heavy rains early this month. The agency said that the state generally reported adequate to excessive moisture with fields in southern Arkansas still too wet to be worked last week. However, rain still is needed in the northern third of the state. Most corn has been planted, and the peach crop is satisfactory although it may be short in supply, the service reported.

Farm labor, the report continued, is adequate, but additional cotton choppers will be needed soon. Mexican labor is reported arriving In some areas.
