Abolisher Bill Challenged Before State Supreme Court
The state Supreme Court of Appeals will hear a mandamus petition this morning to force payment of full salaries to Negro advisory council members of the abolished state board of education. Irene E. Monts, Brown W. Payne, and William W. Sanders claim $1,000 yearly salaries, paid quarterly, with $166.67 due for the Oct 1 quarter. The suit argues the act abolishing the board is unconstitutional and that the advisory council’s duties still exist.

Waterway Plan Given Support
Assistant Secretary Rogers told the Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee that the administration’s waterway treaty will be carried out eventually. He defended the $640 million cost as conservative and said the cost-sharing with Canada is fair, denying that the U S concedes everything to Canada on water diversion or the Illinois waterway loss. He rejected claims of $1 billion plus in savings and said no compensation is due for a Canadian power project, asserting there are no grounds for that view.
