Appeals Court Rules 1
For Plaintiff in Case
Os Lapsed Insurance
The grace period for payment i
of an insurance premium must
be extended to the first business
day in cases vyaere the period
ends on a legal holiday or a f
Sunday, the U. S. Court of Ap- j
peals for the District ruled to- '
day.
The opinion reversed a lower I
court decision which had grant
ed summary judgment in favor
of Group Hospitalization, Inc.
Plaintiff in the case was Wil
liam Friedman, 3650 Suitland
road S.E., a civilian employe at
Bolling Air Force Base.
Mr. Friedman held a policy,
covering hospitalization and
surgical fees. Premiums were
due on the first day of each I
month with a one-month grace
period.
On May 29. 1953, he mailed a
check for the May premium. The
next day was a legal holiday and
the following day was Sunday
The check was received on June
1. Group Hospitalization refused
to accept it on the grounds that
the contract had oeen canceled 1
because of non-payment.
A few days later Mr. Friedman |
became ill and was disabled for
102 days. The hospitalization |
corporation refused to pay for
his medical needs. The appel
late court, commenting that a
similar case had never arisen in
the District, cited rulings in sev- j
eral States stating that where
the grace periods ends on a Sun
day the policy holder is entitled j
to pay the premium on the next
business day.
Mr. Friedman was represented
on appeal by attorney Isaac N.!'
Groner.
South Carolina's Senate j.
Bars Mixed-School Aid
COLUMBIA, S. C., Mar. 31 UP). i
—The South Carolina Senate [
yesterday voted to deny State
financial aid to any mixed race |
public schools. It was this State’* j
first direst legislative action!
aimed at keeping segregation.
An amendment to the 1955-6
appropriations bill would with
hold the funds from any school
attended by children not ap
proved by local school trustees,
"whether the children were at
tending by court order or not.
The amendment, which passed
second reading without debate
and without a dissenting vote,
was offered by Senate members
of a State committee which is I
studying how to ke6p racially I
segregated schools in the face
of a United States Supreme
Court decision outlawing them.
South Carolina voters already
have ratified an amendment to
the constitution which abolishes
r provision that the State main
tain a public school system. The
Legislature now could order a
svstem of private schools. 1

Marilyn Monroe Steals Show,
As Circus Opens in New York
NEW YORK, March 31 UP).— j
The band stopped playing at
Madison Square Garden last
night and 18,000 circus fans held
their breath. Then they exploded
into tumultuous applause.
It was not a tight-rope artist
or a smart equestrienne who
stole the show in the 1955 circus
opening.
Movie Queen Marilyn Monroe
rode onto the sawdust arena on
tgp of a huge elephant, painted:
bright pink for the occasion. She!
wore a specially designed black
and-white leotard (a form-fitting
circus cosume) and black net
stockings, and blew kisses left
and right.
The cavernous garden, with its
maze of ropes and guy wires sus
pended fron the rafters, nearly
shook from the ovation.
Then the band picked up again
and the Ringling Bros, and Bar
num & Bailey “Greatest Show on
Earth” went on.
The opening night attraction
this year was the “Dream Cir
cus,” produced by Showman
Mike Todd for the benefit of
the Arthritis and Rheumatism
Foundation.
It featured Comedian Milton
Berle as the ringmaster and a
number of other television and
film greats, led by Miss Monroe
on her pink elephant.
A procession of multicolored
floats and glittering costumes
portrayed “Celestial Calendar
Cavalcade.”
Notable among them was
