2-LANCASTER, NEW ERA-SATURDAY, MAY 31, 1951 ,4 Z't, End Bus Bias In New Orleans V'-vV, ,6.4, lafc. A' 1 ni. 4X NEW ORLEANS (AP) Custom-ingrained bus segregation continued, with tew exceptions, in this deep South metropolis today despite a federal court order and official notice to the contrary. Tire only incident reported in connection with the U. S.

District Court order to end enforcement of state segregation laws on public transportation was a crossburning on the lawn of the judge who signed the order. Most Negro bus and streetcar riders continued, as they had by custom since decades before the Civil War, to seat themselves from the rear, leaving the front of the vehicles to whites. A newsman saw only two Negroes break the custom during rides through the center of the citys business district. One was a young man, apparently a student, and the other a young woman. Sit Alone Each sat quietly, alone in a double seat.

The young man was stone-faced, the young woman smiled quietly as neither was disturbed by any of the other passengers. In one instance, a neatly-dressed Negro man stood in the rear of a streetcar rather than sit in the few empty seats forward U. S. District Judge J. Skelly Wright said the cross was burned on his lawn during the night.

The eight-foot wooden cross was soaked with kerosene. Al Wirephot left: Caro! Crosson, 16, Philadelphia; Howard Morrisony 17, Gloucester, N. and William Hellings, 17, Camden, N. J.

Penn State Students Riot In Theater UNIVERSITY PARK (AP) -Pennsylvania State University officials today studied possible disciplinary action to take against students involved in a riot in downtown State College early yesterday.

Chief John R. Juba, of the State College police, said the disturbance began in a movie theater shortly after midnight. He said youngsters smuggled beer into the theater and started throwing beer cans and firecrackers. The juveniles tore up theater seats, broke a clock and upset fire extinguishers, Juba reported. The gang of boys then congregated outside the theater, but community police were powerless to break up the melee.

The fir department was called out and turned hoses on the gang, but also failed to break up the disturbance. Finally, university officials arrived, Juba said, and threatened the group with summary expulsion. The threats dispersed the mob. A number of youngsters were picked up by police and turned over to university authorities for action. Three boys were held by police for smashing an earthenware crock belonging to the theater.
