Santa Fe will pay for ICC charge
WASHINGTON —(UPI)— The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad has agreed to pay a $5,000 government claim for using a seating code to segregate Negroes, it was learned Tuesday.
The Interstate Commerce Commission said the railroad using the word "patron" or the letter "P" to designate reservations for Negroes.
The charge was based on a three-day period last July 10, 11, 12, during which time investigators found the railroad assigning adjacent seats to Negroes on the eastbound Superchief leaving Los Angeles.
The investigation was made under the commission's Bureau of Enforcement.
Director Bernard A. Gould determined the violation and ordered the railroad to pay the claim.
Ford president old GM wheel
DEARBORN, Mich. — (UPI)— The new president of Ford Motor Co. owns a huge chunk of General Motors Corp. and doesn't plan to sell.
He has been privy to many GM secrets, but despite the rabid competition between Ford, the No. 2 auto maker, and GM, the No. 1 car builder, has said he doesn't plan to talk.
It remains to be seen what changes will be made, what benefits will be reaped by Ford in luring Semon E. "Bunky" Knudsen away from his post as vice president of its biggest competitor, General Motors.

Man claims title in chicken eating
He ate 51 pieces of chicken Tuesday night, breaking a record claimed by a Purdue University student.
At that he ate for only $2\frac{1}{2}$ hours instead of the allotted three. He stopped, not because he was full, be because Dale Smith, owner of the Idlewood Inn, was "weeping." Tuesday night is the night you can eat all the chicken you can for $1.25 at the Idelwood.

Republican highway plan fails again in House
TOPEKA—(UPI)—The Republican highways plan failed again Tuesday to gain support of Republican members of the Kansas House.
It was presented at a house caucas, after which Rep. John Conard of Greensburg, speaker of
the house, said the proposal is "in difficulty."
Republican senators voted last week to support the bill which calls for a two-cent per gallon gasoline tax and a $300 million in bonds issued over a 10-year period to finance the road program.
Conard, stressing that the bill will not be introduced until it has the support of both chambers, said only 52 of the 78 Republican members were in favor of it. Twelve were opposed and the remainder would not commit themselves.
Another caucus probably will be held Thursday, he said, in hope of getting agreement on the plan which would be offered as an alternative to Gov. Robert B. Docking's proposal for a $350 million bond financed highways program.
