CIVILIANS CLASH
BUT THE NAVY WON

About i a. m. Sunday morning,
there was considerable doings at
oath and Parker Streets. across
from the Legion building. and as
near as the Judge IN police court
and this reporter could make out
after all concerned had testified,
this is what it was all about:
Naturally a woman was involved
1t appears from the testimonies
given in court that she is the cou-
sin or something Of one, ]. A
Sonny Jones and he forbade
Green Dukes, seaman &c. from TAX
ing her home. A fight resulted in
which the sailor claims two men
held him while Jones worked him
over and he was finally left lying
unconscious face down in the
street. which, incidentally, could
partly account for the bruises on
the side of his face. And he laid
there until picked up by some 9th
-er sailors, which brought on more
combat.
Here is where one, Sylvester
Brown enters the picture, more
dramatically than before, having
been in it all along. He for some
reason decided to take over from
where Sonny left off, and manag-
ed to make more Of a mess of
things.
He threatened the Army. the
Navy and the Marines. And it
is well known you can't do that to
any of the three. But the Marin
es couldn't land for they weren't
there; and The Army was busy else
where. So the Navy went into &C
ton in the person Of one seaman,
Thomas, who very well held up the
fighting traditions Of the three
units. He went to town on Brown
to such an extent that Brown ap-
peared in court with his head
swarthed in bandages- then got
the worst of the deal in the bar

Well, the judge finally giving up
trying to get other than sufficient
knowledge of the affair. so ne
could do a little about it. fined
Brown ten dollars, gave Jones and
another Brown, who had to do
with the affair, fifteen days sus-
pended sentences and let the sail
ors go.
Just who hit who first and the
hardest, perhaps will v he

But definitely it appears that the

Cup of
IN GREYHOUND U
r E u r A L

After being Jim Crowed in the
Greyhound Bus all the way from
his camp in Virginia, Sergeant
Samuel o. Meter ran nto foul dis
criminaton when he asked 0 a
cup of coffee in the Greyhound
Station Restaurant in the Nations
Capital where there are no Jim
Crow laws. He was accompanied
by Tomlinson Todd, active civic
worker, who has recently been
worikgn with the Institute On Race
Relations Q734 F St., N. WI. an in
t~erracial group which has been
doing a fine job testing the policy
of restaurants, drug stores and
Five and Ten cent stores in Wash
ington.
Mr.. Todd. who had been served
in the Greyhound Restaurant the
week before, met Sergeant Meter
at the Station. Feeling somewhat
weary from travelling, the sergeant
said he would like to get a cup of
coffee. So, thinking that the res
taurant had changed its undemo-
cratic policy, Mr.. Todd suggested
going in the restaurant at the sta
tion-Theysat at the counter and
refused service by the waitress
and the manager.
The manager, Frank Sheroce,
was told in no uncertain terms that
such action was a violation of the
principles of Democracy and that
the colored soldier was fighting
for him too. He admitted that the
restaurant is for the public, but add
ed. 1T is for the white public"
A few hours later, some mem
bers of the Institute On Race Re-
lations visited the Greyhound.
Restaurant. When the colored
members were refused service at
the counter, the white members
ordered and then shifted the food
or drinks over to the colored mem
bers.
The manager called the police 70
evict the colored. He found to
his dismay that such tactics were
useless because the police found
that no laws were broken and that
in a public place a person can sit
as long as he desires or until he or
she is served.
In order to eliminate such IN
democratic conditions, various
members of the Institute have men
toned the necessity of citizens urg
