FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 17. 1954 End of Public Schools Voted Mississippi Legislature Votes To Separate Negroes, Whites Editorial on page eight JACKSONi Miss., Sept. 16 (/P) Standby authority to abolish public schools to keep Negroes and whites separated cleared Mississippi’s Legislature today. The amendment to the state constitution goes to a vote of the people Dec. 21. Gov; Hugh White predicted the people would ratify: the amendment. But leaders ad mit there is a strong undercur rent of opposition. The : House of Representatives yesterday whipped a move to use state funds “to fully inform the people of tl\is state of the provi sions and purposes of the pro posed amendment, ” The amendment’s opponents, joined by some supporters, shout ed rejection of “being propagan dized with state funds’’ to get the people’s support at the polls. Sponsors labeled the amend ment a “last resort” measure ■to be used only if other methods fail to keep segregated schools despite the U.S. Supreme Court decision outlawing public school segrega tion. The .state Senate gave the amendment the last of three re quired approvals today, one week after the H'ouse overwhelmingly passed it. The amendment is the first pro duct of the Legal Educational Ad visory Committee, created by the 1954 Legislature to find ways of getting around the Supreme Court decision.- Later, the LEAC will recommend specific laws it hopes will make the “last resort” un necessary. LEAC members promised to support a public school building program to improve Mississippi’s schools if the amendment is rati fied. They agreed that better Negro facilities would help keep segre gated schools on a voluntary basis. But some LEAC members, hold ing decisive legislative posts, have refused to support appropriations for school buildings unless the amendment is ratified. If the people ratify the amend ment, it will be inserted in the state constitution by the next leg islature. Under the amendment, the Leg islature could: 1. Abolish schools throughout Mississippi by a two-thirds vote. 2. By a majority vote, set up a local option plan whereby indi vidual counties and school dis tricts could abolish their schools. 3. Sell, lease or rent state owned school property. 4. Pay tuition for students to attend private’ schools. Scientists Find Oil in North BOSTON, Sept.. 16 (£>)—'There’s oil in the frozen wastes around the meandering magnetic pole, a scientific expedition reported to day- upon its return from an ex ploratory voyage of more than 8,000 miles aboard the fishing ves sel Monte Carlo. Heading the scientififc staff was the Rev.

Dr. Harry F. Becker, medical director of the Michigan Hospital Service Blue Cross, told the an nual convention of the American Hospital Assn, that “profound changes” will be needed to re duce unnecessary costs. He said prepayment “has re sulted in millions of unnecessary days of hospital bed occupancy and many millions of unnecessary procedures. This, perhaps more than any other factor, is presently pricing hospital care out of the pockets of the lower income seg ments of our population.” The cure, he went on, is to find a way of maintaining high quality in patient care for those who need it, but to relieve insurance com panies from . furnishing hospital beds to those whose condition does not require it. He. suggested these steps: 1. General hospitals must ar range for much minor surgery and most diagnostic procedures to be Penn State vs. Illinois Special Football Party fe ATTENTION!

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Heir Contests Mother-in-Law In Custody Suit PARIS, Sept. (JP) Rich, young Jimmy Goldsmith, who captured a daughter of the Patino tin dynasty for his bride, fought her mother today for his (Own daughter, half-orphaned and' ail ing. The 20-year-old British hotel heir said the infant Isabela Gold smith, born prematurely by Cae sarian section last May 14 shortly before the death of his beautiful wife, had been kidnaped. He de manded police help to get her back. A lawyer for his mother-in-law, Mrs. Antenor, Patino, said the kid nap talk wasn’t true and Gold smith knew it. He said Mrs. Pa tino is keeping the 4-month-old child in “a safe place” and has petitioned a Paris court for per manent custody. The child’s birth came at a time of tragedy in the romantic mar riage of Goldsmith and Isabela Patino, 18-year-old pride of the immensely wealthy Bolivian tin family whose fortunes and mis fortunes keep them in the lime light. The marriage was cut short when the bride died under surg ery for a brain tumor five months later. carried out without admitting the patient to the hospital. 2. Some hospitals should estab lish convalescent sections, staffed by less highly skilled personnel. At present, most hospitals are set up to. handle a 100 . per cent quota of critically ill patients whereas 60 per cent usually are convales cent. 3. Physicians must accept the hospital outpatient department for diagnosis and some forms of treat ment. Dr. Becker said a study of con ditions .in Michigan hospitals showed that Blue Cross members misused their hospital stays in nearly 36 per cent of cases, com mercially insured patients mis used theirs in 30 per cent while patients who paid their own bills showed faulty use in less than 14 per cent of admissions.
