G|MBLE' : STORE
BARS NEGROES
At ANNUAL Ball

NEW YORK CITY-CCNA)-
Gimbel's Department store here
initiated a new policy this year
by inviting all their employees
to the Grand Annual Ball to
which formerly only the execu-
tives of the company were in
vited. There was catch in 1t
somewhere. The ball was held
Tuesday night in the Waldorf
Astoria and the wealthy corpor-
alton which owns the Waldorf
Astoria do not allow Negroes to
enter the Grand Ballroom. The
Gimbel Bros. management were
faced with a problem.
There are a large number OF
Negroes working in the store as
porters, kitchen help and ele-
vator men. The problem was
how to exclude them from the
invited. The Negroes were CIV
en- invitations with the hope
that they would refuse them
But, to the dismay Of the boss
es. they accepted.
On the morning the affair was
to take place, Mr.. Healy. one OF
the managers Of the store, cal
led Negro workers Of the store
together and In an oily voice
with forced sentiment, told them
that although it hurt him to
the heart, the management OF
the Waldorf would not permit
Negroes to utilize the facilities
of the Grand Ballroom.
He asked them to return their
invitations and then to buy them
off he handed them theatre tic
kets for the same evening SO
they would not feel 'out Of
things"

CLOSE CHURCH TO
KEEP WHITES AND
COLORED APART

WATSONVILLE. Cal. (WS) =
The Filipino Caucasian marital
situation bobbed up in this town
last week when the Rev. Harold
Robertson, white. asked that the
charter Of his church be revok-
ed on account Of five elopeanents
of white girls and Filipino boys
and general relations between
church members OF the two ra-
ces.
The charter Of the church has
been withdrawn and the church
is closed ct the request Of the
minister.
After many months Of services
the pastor believed that the sole
interest Of the Filipino boys was
the chance to meet white girls.
This was called to the attention
of the pastor by other members
of his church.
From all indications the white
girls were In accord with their
relations with the brown church
brothers. They enjoyed 1t SO
much that the white female
members Of the congregation
would invite girls who were moi
members Of the church to the
parties at which the FilipinoS
were present, the pastor charged
Frank Riberal, one Of the FL
lipino boys. sought as q fugitive
is wanted as a witness against
one Of the white girls. He is al
so charged with the delinquency
Of young white girl.
Battles in the courts Of this
state have been going on for the
last three years. Last week saw
the elimination OF one battle,
-shen Salvador Roldan, Filipino,
and Marjorie Rogers. white girl,
were married in Los Angeles
County. Both branches of the
state legislature have passed an
ordinance which prohibits the
marriage Of whites and FilipinoS
and it awaits the signature OF
the governor which win make it
a law. There is appended a bill
which will make it against the
law for a clerk to issue a license
to members Of the two races.
Supporters for the freedom in
the choice of a mate in Califor-
mia are displeased at the action
of the legislators. They point
out that instead OF relations get
ting better. this limitation OF
choice in selecting a husband OF
wife is carrying us toward the
condition of racial intolerance
which existed before the Civil
War.
