Maurice A. Hutcheson, 62, who inherited the presidency of the 850,000-member A.F.L.-C.I.O. United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America from his father, William L. ("Big Bill") Hutcheson, was sued by two Baltimore members for failure to treat his office as a "position of trust," as defined by Landrum-Griffin. The charges grew in part out of the Senate rackets committee hearings, where Hutcheson refused to answer questions, and out of a grand jury investigation, which led to Hutcheson's indictment on a charge of bribery in an Indiana state highway scandal. Specific complaints against Hutcheson...
...original defendants in the Supreme Court's 1954 decision. Prince Edward has been battling school integration ever since. Last year it got a remarkable ruling from U.S. District Judge Sterling Hutcheson (TIME. Aug. 18), who gave the county until 1965 to desegregate. Last month the Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ordered integration by next fall. There is little chance of that now. The county's two public high schools and 18 grade schools will stay shut. For some 1,500 white children, Prince Edward will set up private schools supported by donations (asking for state money might...
...Directed Carpenters Union President Maurice Hutcheson, who inherited the 800,000-member union from his late father, "Big Bill," as a sort of family property, to explain by next November why he refused to answer McClellan Committee questions.

Also, in memory of his father, Hutcheson paid a hack writer $310,000 from union funds to write...
...Edward County, deep in the tobacco and pulpwood country of south-central Virginia, kept Negroes out of white schools for four years after the Supreme Court ordered integration, but this summer, time seemed to be running out. The Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ordered U.S. District Judge Sterling Hutcheson to set a date for integration. The county school board-one of the defendants in the legal fight that led to the Supreme Court's 1954 decision -bid for a five-year delay, to make a "sociological survey...
...into an integration-dodging private school at the drop of a gavel. But last week the churches got the news that they would be used only to glorify God. In a decision that Virginia's Governor J. Lindsay Almond Jr. called the "epitome of judicial statesmanship," Federal Judge Hutcheson-who was born in black-belt Mecklenburg County 64 years ago-granted the board a delay not of five but of seven years...
