Supreme Court Rejects Appeal On Integration Virginia Appears Near To Showdown Over School Issue WASHINGTON (UP)—Virginia appeared headed today for a showdown in September over its program of “massive resistance to school integration. The US. Supreme Court Monday shut off what appeared a last avenue of escape when it rejected Arlington County’s appeal from a lower court integrationorder. Gov. J. Lindsay Almond, attending the governors’ conference in Miami, Fla., told reporters the four wht eiArlington schools involved may be closed if Nergo students insist on attending them. He noted present state law requires closing of any school that is desegregated, followed by denial of state funds to such schools. He said he saw no reason to rush into a special session of the state Assembly. Virginia Atty. Gen. Albertis S. Harrison Jr. said he planned to consult with private and state attorneys that’ represented Arlington school officials in the case He said he didn’t know at this time if there would be further state legal action. Attorney ‘Delighted’ A Richmond attorney who represented Negro litigants said he was “delighted to hear” the Supreme Court refused to review the case. Oliver W. Hill said the Arlington Ngroes “plan to go to (white) school this September.” Asked whether he expected integration resistance in Arlington. Hill said he felt there was “more intelligent leadership" there than in four other Virginia localities where integration has been ordered. Jack Rathbone, president of the ardent segregationist Defenders of State Sovereignty and Individual Liberties, said the court’s action “is just another spark to kindle the fire of massive resistance.” The Supreme Court also reversed 6-2 the contempt conviction of New York attorney Harry Sacher. Refused Information Sacher , refused in 1955 to tell a two-man sub-group of the internal security subcommittee whether he was or ever had been a member of the Communist Party or its “lawyers’ section.” The high court held Monday the questions were not related to the subject under investigation — the reversals ,of testimony by "turnabout” witness Harvey Matusow. It has ruled previously that questions by congressional committees , must be proved relevant to issues under investigation. In three murder cases, all of which involved death sentences, the court: —Reversed 7-2 the confiction of Frank Andrew Pine Bluff, Ark., Negro convicted of clubbing to death J- N. Robertson, owner of the Bluff City Lumber Co. —Affirmed 5-4 the conviction of Chicago storekeeper 1 Vincent Ziucci on charges of murdering his nine-year-old son, but left him an avenue for further appeal.

Dulles Answers Warning From Soviet Russia Serve Notice U.S. To Dictate Policy Throughout World WASHINGTON (UP)—Secretary of State John Foster Dulles served notice on Russia today that the United States will do what it considers is right and proper in any area of the world regardless of any Soviet threats. Dujles' statement was a direct answer' to weekend warnings by Russia that it could not stand idly by if the West intervened in strifetorn Lebanon. Dulles told a news conference he does not consider it likely under present conditions that Lebanon will need any help in putting down threats from outside the country. Dulles also indicated that the administration feels it has broader authority under the so-called Eisenhower Doctrine to help in the Middle East than originally understood. He referred to the socalled Mansfield amendment to the Eisenhower Doctrine which declared that a threat to the security of any nation is vital to U.S. securityDulles said he assigned Congress had a special reason for writing such wording into the legislation. But he refused to say flatly yes or no when asked whether the wording gave the administration authority to go to the defense of a Middle East nation without further recourse to Congress under any condiions. The secretary also made these points: —The United States and its Western allies will not be swept into a summit conference with Russia on a wave of emotion. He said that as a result of the recent NATO foreign ministers con ference in Copenhagen it is more certain than ever than a summit meeting will be held only if it is shown clearly such a top-level conference would serve an important pugpose .that could not be attained MtherWise. —The United States expects France to find a solution to the French crisis in line with past traditions of the country.
