Superior Court to Decide Election Results Between
 Shea and Sweeney

Superior court here will be called on to decide the election contest in the Naugatuck probate district, which Stephen J. Sweeney (R) ap- parently won by two votes over Judge D. Emmet Shea (Dl. Judge Martin L. Caine. counsel for Judge Shea. has notified Town Clerk Ray mond St. John. Town Clerk Fred Curtiss of Beacon Falls. and elec- ton officials that petition for recount will be filed and has di- rected that the voting machines and ballot boxes be kept under lock and key pending a court decision.
 The petition for a recount will be filed as soon as MT. Sweeney has received a certificate of election from the secretary of state at Hart ford. Judge Caine said.
 Judge Shea carried Naugatuck by IA votes but lost Beacon Falls, the other town in the probaae district by l7 votes. His claim. 1t is be- lieved, will center on alleged irreg- ularities in the count in Beacon Falls.
 Judge Shea's friends are also claiming that Mir. Sweency's name was placed illegally on the ballot in Beacon Falls, their ccr!eniior being that his nomination had not been filed within the time specified

~Pistol Often Carried
"Odell Waller also testified that
the deceased often carried a pistol,
that he put his hand in his pocket
and though. he was going to
shoot him, so he shot first. He did
not claim 10 have seen a pistol
while 1t was shown by the tesii-
mony OF members OF the family OF
deceased that he never owned a

at the house. The uncontradicted
evidence also showed that at the

Refuse To Serve
Soldiers
Wives Also
Given Bad
Accommodation

SAULTE STE. MARIE. Mich
A committee OF NAACP executives
investigating discriminatory condi-
tons affecting Negro soldiers sta
toned at Camp Brady disclosed
that the City of Saulte Ste. Marie
fiagrantly violates the Civil Rights
laws OF Michigan. Gloster B. Cur
rent, executive secretary. Detroit
branch and chairman OF the COM
mittee announced. The inyestiga-
ton was made Thursday, July 2,
by Mrs. W. A. Thompson, the Rev.
Charles A. Hill and Or. W. A.
Thompson.
Soldiers Not Served
Current reported that for lnos
time the men of the Tooth CA. have
been writing letters 10 the effect
that they are refused service in
restaurants, hotels. inns. billiard
parlors, skating Kinks and other
public places. Some OF the COM
plants indicated that the officers
OF the Tooth CA. had preceded the
eolored boys into town on numer-
Gus occasions and told the towns
people not 10 serve the Negro SOL
diers. Recently an order was IS
sued informing the colored soldiers
that they could only sit in the ball
cony OF one theater in town, and
on one side in the other.
Poor Shelter
Some OF the soldiers have main
tanned in their complaints that pri-
or 10 the arrival OF the Tooth CA
Negroes were treated we'll in the
town Of Saulte Ste. Marie, Michi-
gan and In Canada. Frequently the
Military Police caused friction and
soldiers pointed out that there was
no detachment OF colored M.P.'s.
Another complaint decried the poor
housing conditions for officers
wives. "Non-coms' who are mar
ried have 10 live in tourist cabins
and shacke.
The NAACP committee after con-
ferences with Brig. General 7. r.
Marchant, commanding officer,
Camp Brady: Col. +. ID. McMullin,
commander Tooth CA: 1t. Jesse ID.
Moses. chaplain and y. c. Casey. di-
rector USO. concluded that much
discrimination exists in Saulte Ste
Marie. II was true that many OF
the public places refuse service 10
the Negro soldiers. Housing con-
ditions for Negro non-commission-
ed officers and their wives are
poor, and must be improved.
No Civilian Control
The committee was unable TO find
concrete evidence that the officers
were directly responsible for the
discriminatory activities OF the
businesses in town. Brig General
Marchant pointed out that the Army
had no control over the civilians
in town and was not respon siJie
for their refusing 10 serve Negro
soldiers. In fact he indicated a
number OF places that refused 10
served white soldiers as well.
The investigation further dis.
closed that prior 10 the coming NJ
the soldiers there were only two
Negro families in town. Since the
Negro population is OF such tran
silent nature. II is difficult to pres.
sure for civil rights. An appeal has
been forwarded 10 Governor VA
Wagner TO appoint commission
Of inquiry 10 further probe the dis.
elimination in Saulfe ste Marie.
