By the Associated Press. A State's right to legislate against negroes setting up homes 1in restricted white residential ions was argued yesterday in the Supreme Court.. The case came from Louisiana on an appeal by Ben Harmon, a New Orleans megro, who had been pre- vented under State and ci tatutes from converting his home into a two- family flat for negro families without first obtaining the consent of a ma- jority of the white persons who reside in_the community Harmon’s counsel drew an analogy between the Louisiana laws and those of Louisville, tu which, the attorney said, n held unconstitutional previou by the court. Harmon contended th: under this decision the court w com- mitted to the proposition that States and municipalities cannot control use of property purely on racial grounds. Under questioning by the court, counsel defending the segregation laws admitted that it was virtually impossible to make any distinction be- tween the Louisville and New Orleans cases, but told the court changing times necessitated a new or modified interpretation of the problem. The race problem, counsel insisted, was becoming more serious- and due to Northern migration of the negro, a modified position was necessary for the North equally with the South.

George I 3 man of the board of directors of the Armour con- cern, and George Thompson, superin- tendent in charge of elevators, were the two officials, the Tribune sald, whose resignations became known after a special meeting of the cojn- pany’s directorate. Has Had Long Service. Marcy, who is in Pasadena, s one of the oldest chiefs in the Armour organization in point of ice and one of the most widely known grain men in America. The Armour Grain €o. recently was directed to pay approximately $3,000.- 000 to the defunct grain marketing | company by an arbitrator who heard | charges that records had been falsi- | fied and grain samples changed at the time of the formation of the $20,000,- 000 co-operative project, in which the Armour_concern held 48 per cent of ter payment of the debts of the defunct company, the remainder was to be divided among the concerns in- volved in the project, including Rosen- baum Brothers and the Rosenbaum Grain Corporation. Details of the award of the arbitrator, Edward E. Brown, were made public by officials | of the Rosenbaum Co. The Board of Trade committee, which is composed of some of the leading fizures in. the grain trade. will go into all details of the alleged irregularities. No charges were filed with the board and the committee investigation was solely at the be- hest of, the organization's directors. The committee is empowered to sum- mon witnesses and place them under oath. In the event they find sufficient evidence to warrant it, they are to filo charges. Board of Trade officials said the pit organization was making the in- vestigation in accordance with a rule applying “when there is any reason to suspect that any member has been guilty of an offense against the asso- ciation."” The alleged grain manipulation oc- curred in 1924." During the last year there has been almost a complete reorganization of the personnel of the Armour Co.'s officials. —l Desperado Ends Own Life.
