Two CoIored Women Sue
Railway for Refusing Meals

Two colored women, one resident
of the District, are suing the South
ern Railway Co. and the Washing
ton Terminal Co. for $4,000 dam
ages for alleged racial discrimination
in the serving of meals on the rail-
road. according TO papers filed in
District Court today.
Plaintiffs are DR.. Virginia M. Alex
ander, 1880 Sixteenth street NV,
and Mrs. Sadie T. M. Alexander,
Philadelphia. They are sisters-in-
law.
According to their complaint for
damages. for wrongful refusal of
services" they were refused dining
car service while passengers on an
Atlanta-bound train, the Crescent,
on November 7, 1941, and again on
the following morning.
The complaint says the action was
justified on the grounds of the State
statutes in Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina and Georgia dealing
with race segregation, but the plain
tiffc assert they were deprived Of
rights secured by the fourteenth
amendment of the Constitution and
the Interstate Commerce Act.
Washington Terminal Co. was
named defendant because, the
plaintiffs allege. they were refused
dining car service before the train
pulled out of Union Station. The
plaintiffs qualified this charge by
stating that If the two defendants
did not jointly operate the dining
car at the station. then the Southern
Railway Co. operated it.

Miss Lois Arzanna Coots, 25, went
to work yesterday with the Weather
Bureau here and became the fourth
woman meteorologist employed by
the bureau since the outbreak OF
war.
Her employment emphasizes the
growing dependency of many agen-
cies on women specialists. Until
the manpower situation became
acute women meteorologists were
rare in weather bureaus.
Miss Coots has been assigned to
the research and training section as
a junior meterologist. Other women
specialists at the bureau are Miss
Margaret Dorney and Mrs. Jean S.
Lewis, junior meterologists, and Mrs.
Katherine c. Hafstad, assistant
meterorologist.
Miss Coots went to work imme-
diately on preparation of corre-
spondence courses which the bu-
reau gives its observers in the field.
Evening star., 1942-12-29

Miss Coots is also working on tests
given students in graduate schools
who are studying meteorology.
She came here Sunday from New
York City, where she had just COM
pleted postgraduate course in her
favorite subject at New York Uni
versity. Before that she taught
meteorology to as many as 40 men
students at a Detroit airport.
A native of Parkersburg, w. Va,
Miss Coots is a graduate of Marietta
College in Ohio.
She recalled today that she hap
pened to get into meteorology by
way of flying. The two go hand in
hand, she said
Il started flying in 1940." she said.
She got her wings through the
Civil Aeronautics Authority and now
has 100 hours to her credit.
Miss Coots said she likes her new
job-as well as teaching all those
men.

Tech has a pretty good team. Usi-

Zone Defense Makes
Tossers Lazy, Says
Cody Of Temple

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 15.-A zone
defense makes basket ball players
lazy, Josh Cody, Temple University
cage coach, said today.
Il know there will be plenty Of
objections to that statement" the
genial Josh added quickly. II am
only venturing my opinion, based
on long experience in playing and
coaching"
Cody, who developed champion
ship quintets at Vanderbilt and
Mercer University in the South be-
fore being named head court coach
at Temple this year, explained that
ION the zone, players are not ac-
tive enough. They come to believe
their responsibility ends when they
have covered the particular area as
signed to them"
Il don't say that the zone defense
Is inferior to the man-to-man
STYLE" he added. Some coaches
have used it with considerable sue
cess. But I never was taught that
style Of basket ball and I never have
coached 1t, so there's the answer to
my dislike for the zone."
