Judge Grants Stay of Dis
possess To Negro Living
On East Side

New York, Oct. 1-Justice Mi
chael r. Matteo in the Second Dis
triet Municipal Court this week
was granted a two months stay of
eviction to John Winters, ordered
d-ispossessed because of his race
from his apartment at 7 st. Marks
place lower East Side, where he
has lived for five years.
In granting the stay until Nc.
vember Is, Justice Matteo sharply
critized discriminatory practices
by landlords who are segregating
the Negro people.
Winters was handed an eviction
notice by the Poughkeepsie Hold
ing Corp, $50 West 57th st. The
East Side Tenants Union accused
the real estate firm of evicting the
Winters family because of race
prejudice.
The tenants organization charg-
ed that landlords on the lower
East Side are attempting to Dust
all Negro families from the area.
Winters was the only Negro ten
ant in the house. All the white
families in the tenant signed a
petition requesting the real estate
office to withdraw the ~disposses
proceedings.
Lenord Wacker, attorney for the
tenants union said that the organ
ization would continue to fight the
eviction.

IPERNEYS NEW SUPER STORE
HAS GRAND OPENING
MANY NEW EMPLOYEES

The new J. C. Penney store just
completed at Sixteenth st. between
Douglas and Dodge in the heart
j. of Omaha's metropolitan shopping
district, opened for business Thrus-
day morning at $3.50 o'clock.
Work on this big department
store, which extends over the four
building( with $4,000 square feet
of floor space) formerly occupied
by Haydens has been under way
since the first of the year. The en-
tire interior has been torn out and
remodeled. New steel work was
installed, wall were ripped out,
stairways added, elevators rebuilt
all the old fixtures destroyed.
There were 1901 other eonstruc-
ton details all of which go to
make the interior of this new SUI
per-store the last word in modern
department store design. For many
months a large crew of decorating
experts has been preparing for the
grand opening.
Pleasing Color Schemes
Among the many and varied
features that make the new PEN
ney store something extremely and
pleasantly new is the ingenious
use of colors everywhere through
out the interior. The color schemes
are soft and pleasing, nothing to
startle and clash. Most of the hues
of course are backgrounds de-
signed specifically to set off the
briter views of the merchandise
displayed.
With the opening of this new
store, score of additional sales
people will be given employment.
The entire staff of the Penny
store at its former location will
be on hand to greet old customers.
Salespeople, who formerly worked
as extras will be given steady
employment, and others will be adj
ded to the selling staff. On open
ing day, over eight hundred Pen
ney Associates, did their
part to make this celebration event
as pleasant for customers and as
efficiently bundled as possible.
For the past month during this
immense remodeling project hun
bred of skilled and unskilled work
ers were given employment.

tor Of st. James AME church here.
had been appointed to succeed
Atty. Elsie Austin on the Wilber-
force university board OF trustees
has evoked considerable comment
throughout the state.

British extraction on the board Of
trustees. the others being Dr. ID. O.
Walker president OF Wilberforce
and Father Balboda OF the Episco-
pal church In Dayton. DR.. Gomez

Rumor has 1t that those opposed
TO Dr. Gomez's appointment will
make known their objections at the
next meeting OF the Ohio State SEN
ate, which body must confirm the
appointment before 1t is made ef-
fectiye. The senate had adjourned
for the summer. Meanwhile Aitor-
ney Gen Duffy Is reported as da-
claring that the trustee already
holding office attorney Elsie Aus
TIM is the bon fide appointee until
the senate meets and confirms the
new appoiniee.
Objection from another source
came to light this week when II was
pointed out that the Gomez appoint
ment will give the AME church
five members on the board OF trus-
tees. which comprises nine mem
hers are Bishop Reverdy c. Ran
som. Dr. walker Rev. A. G. Sump-
