RACIAL TENSION SPOTLIGHTED
IN FOUR CITIES OF THE U.S.
Washington, D.C.
MV tits Associated Prm**
A four to six majority of a
House investigating subcommittee
recommended today that Wash
ington, D.C., return to racial seg
regation in its schools.
The subcommittee did not
mention the legal question that
might arise because of the Su
preme Court’s 1954 ruling that
segregation is unconstitutional.
Parts of the South still seethe
in protest over the ruling.
The report by the subcommit
tee said there was a “definite im
pairment of educational opportu
noties for members of both white
and Negro races as a result of in
tegration” in the national capital.
It blamed integration for an in
crease of sex offenses, an “apall
ing” rate of juvenile delinquency,
and said it had shattered the mor
ale of some teachers.

Tallahassee, Fla.
While this academic approach
to racial integration was being
pondered in Washington, the
question of bus segregation in
Tallahassee, Fla., was tossed into
the courts.
Buses continued to run in Tal
lahassee, a city of 40,000, includ
ing 15,000 Negroes.
The legal moves were made
against a backdrop of an encoun
ter between white persons and
Negroes at the transit company's
main terminal.
About 40 white teenagers, who
jeered, and about 200 white ad
ults, who stood by, confronted a
group of Negroes who had said
they planned to board buses and I
sit in front seats.
The Negroes drew back, how
ever, at the behest of the Rev.
C. C. Steele, a leader in the seat
ing integration campaign. Steele
said he feared trouble.

Birmingham, Ala.
And at Birmingham, Ala., Ne
gro leaders considered going to
court with a bus segregation
problem of their own.
Birmingham Police Commis
sioner Robert E. Lindberg said J
that the city would “use every
legal means” to block a possible
federal court injunction against
the city’s ordinance for bus segre
gation.
Lindberg’s statement came af
ter a hint by the Rev. F. L. Shut
tlesworth, 34-year-old Baptist
minister, that the arrest of ?2
Negroes for taking front seats on
Birmingham buses was sufficient
cause to take the issue to the
federal courts.
The Negroes deliberately vio
lated the bus segregation ordi
nance Wednesday and yesterday.
• • •
Baton Rouge, La.
In a third southern state—Lou
isiana—Negro leaders planned to
continue their discussion today of
ways to end bus segregation at
Baton Rouge.
The Negro leaders said they
would ask bus officials what
plans, if any, had been made to
conform to the recent U.S. Su
preme Court decision banning
bus segregation in Montgomery,
Alabama.

Over a Million Soviet Prisoners Are
At Slave Labor in Siberian Mines
MAIZURU, Japan, W>—Soviet
Russia has poured more than a
million prisoners into slave labor
mining camps in the Kolyma dis
trict of northeastern Siberia,
three Japanese repatriates said
yesterday.
Most of the prisoners—Ukran
ians, Poles, Germans, Hungarians
and some Japanese—are doomed
never to return, the repatriates
told a Kyodo News Service cor
respondent.
The repatriates described Kol
yma as a “living graveyard for
slaves.”
Toshitane Ando, 33 of Kyoto,
and Takahiko Hase, 46, and Seii
chi Sato, 37, both of Tokyo, said
they were lucky to return alive
and tell about it.
Hase said they spent 10 years
in Kolyma’s uranium, gold and
chome-inanganese mines and
were released a year ago last
October.
“Every summer,” Hase said, “a
Russian slave ship leaves once a
week from Sovetskaya Gaven via
Magadan for Kolyma.”
Sovetskaya Gaven is a Russian
seaport across the Tatary Straits
from southern Sakhalin. Magadan
is a Siberian seaport on the Sea of
Okhotsk. It is the gateway to Kol

Hare said from July thru Sep
tember 8,000 prisoners were
jammed each week into a freight
er ranging from 5,000 to 8,000
tons for the voyage to Kolyma.
Ando said each ship had four
circular holds. Guards armed
with clubs watched from the up
per decks.
“On the bottom deck in the
ship’s center were huge vats,”
Huse said. “Some contained soup,
some drinking water, and others
were used as latrines.”
“Life inside the ships was a

Sato said.
He said every morning there
were 10 or more sick or dead.

Malibu Brush Fire Has Scorched \
25,000 Acres, Destroyed 68 Structures
MALIBU, Calif., (fl—The mass
ive Malibu brush fire was run
ning loose in two areas today af
ter covering about 25,000 acres,
and at one point threatening a
75-room ' Franciscan monastery
and about 20 homes.
The number of homes and oth
er structures already destroyed
■by the fierce three-day-old coastal
blaze was placed at 68 by Los
Angeles County Fire Chief Keith
Klinger.
He said the figure might have
been much higher except for last
ditch stands by firefighters who
warded off flames headed for a
colony of expensive homes and a
34-unit motel ■ on the Pacific
coast highway.
The main area of distress early
today was in the Malibu township
area, where a second fire was
started by flying sparks from the j
original blaze last night. The first!
fire is burning on a semicircular
front starting about 10 miles west
of Santa Monica and extending
north and 'west. The other blaze
is down the coast about two miles.
There were no fatalities yester
day during the second day of fire
fighting, either at the scene of the
new blaze or the old one. The fire
has taken only one life so far. A
newsman described this as
“amazing, considering all the peo
ple who were apparently trapped
at one time or another.”
