The three-judge court recessed-probably for a couple of weeks-to consider whether one judge may now take over the case. Federal law requires three judges where a question of the constitutionality of state law is concerned. Thus three judges tried the Prince Edward Case originally since it involved the constitutionality of Virginia's segregation law.

But it is argued now that the Supreme Court has already nullified the Virginia law and all that remains in the case is a question of the enforcement of civil rights.

Americans Happily At Work WASHINGTON, July 9 (P-The government reported today that more Americans held jobs in June of them--than ever before. Only three times in the past has the national employment gone past 65 million August, when the previous record was with last October, with 65,161,000, and May of this year, with 65,238,000.

Williams Returns From Site Of Crash WASHINGTON-Rep. John Bell Williams of Raymond has returned from the Grand Canyon in Arizona where he and other members of a House Commerce subcommittee Sunday visited the site of the recent twin plane disasters.

Congressman Williams said the subcommittee on the previous day had held hearings in Las Vegas, during which it heard testimony from witnesses who had a part in the routing of the United Airlines and Trans-World planes involved in the disaster. The lives of 128 persons were snuffed out in the tragedy. "We saw rescue workers handling 14 or 15 bags containing the bodies of victims to a helicopter." said the congressman. "It was a terrible sight." Williams said the subcommittee members have agreeed not to express any opinions regarding the disaster pending the holding of further 1 hearings.

Conservatives Lag In Japanese Voting TOKYO, July 9 LAP) Japanese Conservative party leaders virtually conceded late today that they failed to gain sufficient strength in Sunday's upper house elections to pave the way for a quicker military buildup and revision of the occupation-imposed Prime Minister Ichiro Hatoyama's Conservative backers easily kept simple majority control of the House of Councilors. But stunned by Socialist gains, including several upsets, Liberal Democratic party leaders talked only of defeat. Their goal had been to gain a comfortable two-thirds majority needed to change the constitution. Instead, incomplete returns left in doubt whether Conservative forces would even retain a mathemaitcal two-thirds. It became almost certain they would slip below the Conservative coalition's present 171-seat strength, a bare 4 votes over the 167 needed to amend the constitution.

"I've no idea why I did it," vestigators for the attorney general's office quoted Alred as sayling.

Charles J. Lowen, CAA administrator, and other officials appeared before a House Government Operations subcommittee to discuss the CAA's five-year plan to expand and improve the control of air traffic. Lowen called it the greatest federal airway project in history.

"The five-year plan will put this nation in a state of readiness for the first stage of the jet Lowen said.

He said it would provide coverage over the United States at high altitude and give the CAA traffic controller "radar eyes." "We will be ready to meet the problem of the jet aircraft when it is ready for civil he said. Joseph H.

"Present communications are too slow," Tippets said.

David D. Thomas, the CAA director of air traffic control, testified that the United States has "the finest air traffic control system known in the world." But, Thomas said, "inadequate has been placed on denew tools or air traffic control."
