refused to dismiss the indictment.
It ordered a new trial.

ANCHORAGE, (/P)—'The chair

lay his resignation to President
Truman.
In a letter to Senator Eastland.

ond-class citizen of the United
States,” and advised the Southern
Senator:
T do not feel that you should
ask me to pay all federal taxes,
observe all federal laws and send
my friends out to give their lives
for the preservation of Democ
racy until you have learned the
practice of Democracy with your
own people."

and heroic action, helped pre
vent a democratic vote on the
