Plane Trouble Delays Big Three Suez Talks
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — (UP) — Twenty Negroes, including the local NAACP president, will be tried Oct. 17 on charges of illegally operating a car pool during a racial bovocnt of city buses.
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y., Oct. 4,—(UP)—Plane trouble that grounded French Foreign Minister Christian Pineau in Bermuda delayed until today Big Three unity talks on the stand they will take tomorrow in Security Council debate on the Suez Canal crisis.
Ten Negroes were arrested some time ago and another 10 were named by the city in charges filed yesterday. Judge John Rudd moved the trial date from today to give attorneys on both sides additional time to prepare cases.
Mr. Pineau, originally expected Wednesday for talks with British Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd and U.S. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., arrived in New York early today.
Bus Boycott Trial Slated
The United States, Britain and France hoped their talks during the day would achieve complete agreement on a Suez resolution to be put before the security council. Further talks will be held Friday morning when Secretary of State John Foster Dulles flies in from Washington.
The consensus was that the West would ask the Council to set up negotiating machinery to solve the Suez impasse. However the big three was not agreed on whether the United States should join in sponsoring the measure now scheduled to be presented by Britain and France.
Prostcutor Ed Hull said the original charges had been amended to accuse the Negroes of "operating motor vehicles for the transportation of passengers for hire . . . without first obtaining a license from the city so to do."
The boycott started four months ago in a protest by Negroes over segregated seating. The Cities Transit Co. was forced out of business during July but resumed operations on new routes.
The Rev. C. K. Steele, president of the local NAACP chapter and head of the Negro council which is backing the boycott, has been arrested twice on the same charges connected with the pool.

"I'm long gone," Mr. Crosby wrote, "but as you infer in your column, I'm not too depressed about it."
"Honestly, I think I've stretched a talent which is so thin that its almost transparent over a quite unbelievable term of years—30 of them. The fact that the call for my records has subsided to a faint whisper is not surprising to me because I've more or less been expecting it for 15 years," Mr.' Crosby said in his letter.
