The committee also recommend-

Amarillo was unanimously select-

mortgages on houses costing less
than $12,000 remains 25 years; on
higher priced properties, 20 years.
The only exception permits vet-
erans to have a longer period if
the Veterans Administration finds
that a shorter pay-off period would
cause hardship.
With some construction already
booming toward the mark of one
million houses this year, a level
topped only twice in the past, of-
ficials expressed doubt the easier
terms would do much to stimulate
construction.
The new terms were expected,
however, to make it easier for
many people to buy and sell hous-
es, especially the more costly onea.
The Federal Reserve Board alao
granted easier terms to servicemen
able io get mortgages guaranteed
by the VA. This was in line with
provisions of the Defense Produc-
tion Act granting preferential treat-
ment to veterans.
No down payments will be re-
quired on veterans housing cost-
ing $7,000 or less although closing—
or settlement—costa must be paid
in cash
The down payment for houses
costing $25,000 or more and fi-
nanced with a VA mortgage will
be 35 per cent compared with the
previous top of 45 per cent.
The easier terms apply to credit
oi. houses for one to four families
and apartment houses. No change
was made in controls affecting non-
residential properties, but the
board said such a change is "still
under consideration.”

FORT WORTH — George C.
Hopkins of Winnsboro, former
state Republican executive com-
mttee chairman, today asked
Gen. Eisenhower to “deplore the
smear tactics” used by his sup-
porters in Texas.
Hopkins is an Eisenhower sup-
porter. However, he declined to
walk out with Eisenhower backers
at the State Republican Convention
at Mineral Wells May 27. He was
elected a delegate to the national
convention by the Taft-dominated
state convention and is one of four
among the 38 chosen there known
to be for Eisenhower.
Hopkins sent a telegram to the
general. Its text was released by
the office of Henry Zweifel. Fort
Worth, who is national GOP com-
mitteeman and state campaign di-
rector for Sen. Taft.
The text said, in part:
“I earnestly bessech you to de-
plore smear tactics being carried
on by your managers ip Texas.
... the exas fight is a party
matter and you are being made a
party to a campaign of vilification
which I sincerely trust you will
disown. Please do not be sold a
bill of goods because a man wants
to be national committeeman at
the expense of all concerned.”

tor, is a candidate for the national

The answer, top American mili-
tary men say, is that the United
States is prepared to strike back
with the same weapon in over-
whelming - er.
Secretary of Defense Robert Lov-
ett pointed this up recently In a
news conference he denounced
Communis* charges that the
United States had used bolh BW
and toxic gas weapons in Korea
as “abominable malieious false-
hood.” He added that the Commu-
nist technique usually has been to
charge someone else in advance
with a crime the Communists pro-
pose to commit.
Ixivett left no doubt that the
United States was ready to meet
that kind of game. Behind his
words stands a big BW laboratory

Hinges On Cases
WASHINGTON The Su-1 the completion of the sixth grade,
preme Court today agreed to say | The junior and senior high schools
whether segregation of white and
Negro children In elementary pub-
lic schools should be outlawed.
The Court granted hearings on
two appeals by Negro parents who
claim segregation is a "stigmatiz-
ing badge of inferiority” which has
a bad effect upon their children.
They contend segregation therefore
violates the constitutional guaran-
tee of equal protection of the laws.
The appeals contest the validity
of segregation only in schools in
Topeka, Kans, and Clarendon
County, S. C. However, the out-
come of the cases will affect pub-
lic school segregation generally.
The high tribunal will hear argu-
ments on both appeals dunng its
new term xbhich begins October 6
and may hand down a decision
Iste this year or early in 1953.
Gov. James F. Byrnes, of South
Carolina, has said that if his stste
loses its fight in the courts to main-
tain segregation, the public school
system* there will be abandoned.
Other southern states—notably
Georgia, Virginia and Alabama—
have taken steps which could lead
to abolition of the public school
system, in favor of privately-oper-
ated classrooms.
The Negro parents involved in
the appeals accepted today asked
the high court to overturn deci-
sion* by two special Federal dis-
trict courts which ut io Topeka
and Charleston, S. C.
The special courts both upheld
segregation in public achools, cit-
ing an earlier Supreme Court de-
ciBion that segregation is permis-
sible if equal facilitiea are provid-
ed for both races. The highest tri-
bunal has also ruled that the prob-
lem of segregation is within the
discretion of states in regulating
their schools.
In earlier decisions the Supreme
Court rulefl against segregation as
It was practiced at the time at
the Universities of Oklahoma and
Texas.
The court said the universities
did not furnish truely equal oppor-
tunities to Negroes.
In the Topeka grade school case,
the special court found facilities
offered Negro and white children
were substantially equal.
In the South Carolina case, the
special court ruled that school of-
ficials had complied with its de-
cree to equalize facilitiea “as soon
aa humanly possible.”
It said “no good could be ac-
complished for anyone” by order-
ing segregation ended at once.
The South Carolina case was
filed in the Supreme Court last
August. In January the high tri-
bunal sent it back to the special
court for findings on whst was be-
ing done to equalise, educational
opportunities in Clarendon County.
The March 1$ ruling caused the
Negro parents to appeal again to
the Supreme Court.
In Topeka, segregation ends with

quarters in Tokyo to the scene.

will be very light after he becomes
old enough to assume it himself

Under the new program, ef-

20 to 50 per cent less than those
now required under Regulation X,
which has been in effect nearly
two years.
On the least expensive houses,
down payment requirements were
cut in half. On the most expensive,
they were reduced 20 per cent.
The relaxed controls program
means that only 5 per cent will be
needed in down payments on some
houses and that the maximum re-
quired will be 40 per cent
The action was announced today
by the Federal Reserve Board.
Here is what the board order will
do:
1. On house costing $7,000 or less,
5 per cent down payment will be
required; it has been 10 per cent.
2 On houses costing $25,000 or
more, 40 per cent will be required;
it has been 50.
3. On houses between those fig
ures, a sliding scale fixes require-

per cent of the sale price.
The order applies only to new
housing, that is, private residence
