ing their request for equal rights in

Scott, negro attorney, pointed to a
Kansas statute which makes discrimi-
nation in hotels, theaters or any Ii
censed business in Kansas, misde-
meanor punishable by a fine not less
than $40 or more than $1,000.
AS a result, the county prosecutor
received assurances today from the
manager of a local theater that negro

same as white children. These assur-
ances by the theatrical manager fol-
lowed the receipt of letter from the
county attorney outlining the situation
and stating that lit will be my duty to
give a complaint if a violation of the
section is brought to me-"

their constitutional rights. So far as i.
