Segregation Talks
Ordered by Court
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22 (£>)—The Supreme Court today fixed Dec. 6 for the start of arguments
on how to end public school segregation. The timing raised a possibility that final decrees may not come
until about the time for the spring windup of classes.
Announcing the December date, Supreme Court Clerk Harold ,B. Willey said this
earliest time the argument could be,_heard. The court’s argument schedules tor October
vember already were "filled.
The decision on the date was'
reached at a closed conference of
seven justices. Justices Douglas
and Minton have not returned
from • their vacations, but they
communicated their agreement
with the decision and thus made
it unanimous. '
The new arguments will pick
up not only the question of how
to order the end of school segre
gation which was unanimously
declared unconstitutional last May
17. Another major question will
be the timing in final orders for
desegregation.
The court’s opinion last May
asked interested attorneys to dis
cuss whether decrees should re
quire admission of Negro children
“forthwith” to schools nearest
their homes, or whether . there
should be an “effective, gradual
adjustment.”
Attorneys also were asked t 9
discuss whether in event orders
were issued for' gradual integra
tion, the court should give de
tailed instruction, appoint a spe
cial master to study and recom
mend methods, or allow lower
federal courts to devise detailed
arrangements.
The five cases directly involved
in. the May decision—those fi>pm
South Carolina, Virginia, Kansas,
Delaware and. r the District of Col
umbia—have been allotted a total
of 10 hours on the December ar
gument • schedule. Atty. . Gen
Brownell was given an hour,
Pink Tickets

During Ihe past iwo days,

that it will decrease in the fu
ture."
Turnpike Urged
To Pick Pane!
On Grievances
HARRISBURG, Sept 22 (JF)—
The Pennsylvania Turnpike Com
mission was urged today to join
in selecting a three-man panel' to
resolve grievances of turnpike
toll collectors.
Robert A. Callahan, interna
tional representative of the Amer
ican Federation of State, County
and Municipal Employes, said the
commission is .obligated under
Commonwealth law .to name one
member of the panel.
Local 1216 of the union, he said,
already has selected Sidney Wil
lar, of Bellefonte, as its panel rep
resentative. The third member
would be selected by the first two
appointed.
Meanwihle, Chairman T. J.
Evans of the turnpike commission,
concluded two days of meetings
with representatives of the Penn
sylvania Turnpike Officer-Collec
tors Assn.

the Officer-Collectors Assn., head
ed by John K. Kilko', Boiling
Springs, association president, are
seeking .to bring grievances of
the collectors before the commis

that Kilko’s organization is a
“company union” which has been
“pressuring” the collectors into
joining. Kilko replied that he has
been organizing the group on his
own time and at the association’s
expense.

Scelba Hit
For Murder
By Reds
ROME, Sept. 22 (JP) — Italy’s
powerful Communist '' party to
night charged pro-Western Pre
mier Mario Scelba with full re
sponsibility for the 'Wilma Mon
tesi death scandal- and demanded
his resignation. x
The maneuver by the largest
Communist party organization
outside the Iron Curtain had been
anticipated. Scelba promised to
answer the charges tomorrow.
Before the government-shaking
storm broke on the Senate fioor,
police chiefs of key Italian cities,
summoned urgently to Rome,
were briefed on how to carry out
anti-riot operations. A high pol
ice official said the Communists
were expected to stage “disorders
and demonstrations.”
The Communist assault-joined
by fellow-traveling Sociahsts-de
veloped from the detention last
night of two prominent Romans.
They are Piero Piccioni, 32, .jazz
pianist son of Attilio Piccioni,
who resigned last Saturday as
Italy’s foreign minister in order,
he said, “to defend my son and
my family’s good name,” and a
rich, self-styled marquis, named
Ugo Montagna.
Both are . accused in connection
with the death of Wilma, a shape
ly, 21-year-old party girl. Her
death has led to allegations of
sex and drug orgies involving per
sons. high in Italy’s society and
politics. Her nearly nude body
was found on the beach at Ostia,
Rome’s Coney Island, in April,
1953.
From the floor of the Senate,
Sen. Umberto Terracini, Commu
nist Senate leader, accused Scel
ba of “being responsible for the
Montesi affair.”

from Philadelphia to Harris
Ferry on the Susquehanna, across
the Alleghenies to Pittsburgh and
on to the Ohio River.”
