Supreme Court Extends Integration WASHINGTON, April 23 (?P)—The Supreme Court to day extended its ban on racial segregation to public transpor tation within the borders of a state. It did so by dismissing as friv olous an appeal from a U.S. Court of Appeals decision in Richmond, Va., that segregation on inter state buses violates the federal constitution. The ' court's action means that segregation in any form in public transportation, whether entirely within a state or between states, is now unlawful. The decision for the order was arrived at unanimously. Only 10 words were used in the court's order, including citation Tlit &tall VOL. 56. No. 126 STATE COLLEGE, PA., TUESDAY MORNING.

FOR A BETTER PENN STATE Get $l2OO Robbery angles of public transportation Totirgiatt 30 Lose Personal Items, Cash A burglar or burglars en tered Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity sometime yesterday morning and stole personal articles estimated at $1212.55. Items ranging from typewriters to a Naval Reserve Officers' Training Corp hat were stolen from second floor rooms while the house members slept on the third floor. Richard James, house treasurer. said the burglar or burglars ap parently entered the Beaver ave nue and Pugh street house by a dining room window. The dining room is situated on the east end of the first floor. Pledges Notice Theft James said the burglary was first noticed at 6 a.m. yesterday when pledges went downstairs to their rooms. Finding personal items thrown about the room and the dresser drawers open, they returned up stairs to awaken the brothers. A check of rooms showed that all but four rooms had been en tered. There are 20 two-man rooms in the three-story stone building. James theorized that the burg lary occurred sometime after 3:30 a.m. since one of the house mem bers was in one of the rooms un til that time... Personal Items Taken No furniture or other house be longings were taken. Only per sonal articles were missing. James said. These, he said, included radios, rifles, golf clubs, pens and pen cils, cash, and five or six fra-. ternity pins. About 30 members and pledges were robbed. State Police were called to the scene soon after the burglary was discovered. Police, however, yes terday refused to comment on the burglary, saying that their in vestigating officer's report was not completed. - Unknown Burglars Loot Cars at AEPi State College police said yester day that cars parked in front of Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity Sun day night were looted by un known burglars who stole anten nas, floor mats, and tried to dis connect search lights. Police said they have no idea just what was stolen or damaged, and they do not .know who the vandals were. When asked if they thought it might be the same persons who robbed Sigma Alpha Epsilon, the police said they weren't sure, but hoped further investigation would clear up the vandalism.
