At Columbia, S.C., attorneys considered whether to appeal dismissal of a case involving segregation on city buses.

The Rev. Enoch D. Davis, leader of a Negro citizens cooperative committee at St. Petersburg, Fla., requested a meeting with the City Council to discuss equal seating of all races on city owned buses.

He said yesterday the meeting is being sought to avert the possibility of a bus boycott similar to those at Montgomery and Tallahassee.

City Manager Ross E. Windom said St. Petersburg will enforce segregation on buses under state laws requiring Negroes to seat from the rear and white persons from the front.

NAACP ADVISES COMPLIANCE

At Miami, Fla., the National Assn. for the Advancement of Colored People issued a statement last night advising "all citizens to comply with existing city and state laws governing seating on buses."

The meeting followed the arrest of two Negroes during the week on charges of disorderly conduct for failing to move to the rear of buses.

Both the Montgomery and Tallahassee bus boycotts started after Negroes were arrested for refusing to move to the rear of buses. The Montgomery boycott has been in progress more than six months and the Tallahassee boycott since May 28. Both have caused city bus systems to increase fares and cut services in efforts to meet operating costs.

ATTORNEYS STUDY ORDER

At Columbia S.C., attorneys for Sarah Mae Flemming Brown studied an order dismissing her $25,000 damage suit against the South Carolina Electric and Gas Co. They have 30 days to file an appeal.

Judge George Bell Timmerman dismissed the case in Federal District Court yesterday. He ruled the company could not be made "liable in damages" for acting under "valid and subsisting" state segregation laws at the time.

TIGHTENS REQUIREMENTS

The Board of Rents of the University System of Georgia tightened entrance requirements following reports several Negroes planned to seek admission to the white Georgia State College of Business Administration.

One regulation would empower the president of any institution in the system to refer an application to the Board of Regents for assignment to another institution if the president feels "that the educational needs of any applicant can best be met at some other institution."
