The newspaper cited what it said

TOKYO, Sunday, March 17.
— (AP)—General MacAr-

flatly denied Russian press
reports that the United
States Army is moving valu-
able metals from Japan to — "
America
"Tlie millions of dollars worth of
gold, silver, platinum and jewelry
are still under military guard in
the vaults of the Bank at Japan.”
said Maj. Gen. W F. Marquat,
chief of the economic and scientific
section- of SCAP (supreme com-
mander. Allied Powers).
A further denial of the Moscow
newspaper Pravda's Vladivostok
dispatch came from General Mar-
quat’s civilian financial aide, C. F
Thomas, of New York who said
"not a single thing lias been mov-
ed '
"Disposition of this wealth is not
a matter for our section and we
merely are guarding it,” Thomas
explained
Up to Allied Power*
"It is up to tlie Allied power*
to decide what is to become of it
-not just the United States ”
Thomas estimated that the preci-
ous metals and jewels in the vaults ■
are valued at 250,000,000 (m).
"As rapidly as this wealth has
been turned in by the Japanese or
located when it was not reported,
we have put it into the vaults for
safekeeping," said Thomas.
"It has not been moved around
but has been left right there.”
Asked whether any Russian rep-
resentatives participated in the
seizures, he said, "they have not
even asked to see it.”
Thom** added that the United
State* Army have bean entirely
trank about every Me< gold, sil-
ver. platinum. Jewels and anything
else received, announcing it to both
the Allied and Japanese press and
making it part ot official reports.
"To sum it all up. we have made

said.

must either provide equal higher
educational facilities for Negroes
at a Negro university, or admit Ne-
groes to the University of Texas
This was the effect of an opinion
today by Attorney General Grover
Sellers, ruling on the legality of re-
fusal by University of Texas ofTi-
< tals to register Hernan Marion
Sweatt. Houston mall carrier, as a
student in the law school.
Sweatt is a graduate of Wiley
College at Marshall, was a gradu-
ate student at the University of
Michigan, and was qualified for ad-
mission "except for the fact he is
a Negro,” the university administra-
tion said.
Sellers ruled that the state's long-
standing policy of segregating the
races in schools may not be abro-
gated "unless and until the applic-
ant in good faith makes a demand
for legal training at Prairie View
University, gives the authorities rea-
sonable notice, and is unlawfully
refused “
Pending that, Sellers held. Sweatt
should be refused admission to the
University of Texas. H said the law
passed in 1945 setting up tlie for-
mer Prairie View Normal as a uni-
versity "is mandatory and imposes
a clear duty upon the board of di-
rectors of the Agricultural and Me-
chanical College to provide at Prai-
rie View University instruction in
the course named 'whenever there
is demand'"
The demand of one student would
I be sufficient to impose this obliga-
, tion on the board, which is the gov-
erning body for the Negro school.
