Wins Out
In Prejudice Fights

Outbursts OF racial prejudice in
various sections Of the country
recently met with at least two
instances Of enlightened action on
the part OF intelligent Cit Ss.
In Cleveland. q holiday crowd
Of nearly zoo whites left q public
swimming pool In protest Of Its
use by Negro family on July 4.
MR.. I. W. WHITE. 35. Of 243l f.
18TH street. with his wife and three
children. was al the pool when the
whites began 20 leave and gather
around the pool. A young spokes-
man for the group told White that
sue don, allow colored in this
pool We're asking you 10 get
out, please, or We will not be re-
sponsible for what may happen"
Al that point. a member Of
white Methodist church broke
through the crowd. recognizing
White as speaker al his church
on racial tolerance. This man is an
intelligent Christian gentleman"
ne told the crowd. Nobody is
prejudiccd dgains: hin"
TURNING 10 White he assured
him. Il too am fighting for racia.
tolerance. and you're just as free
20 Use this pool as anybody else"
One OF a group OF policemen who
had arrived also assured White that
he did not have 10 leave unless he
wanted 10.
BY this time, a large crowd Of
Negroes hac gathered and were be-
coming increasingly angered as
:hey learned what Was happening
But White prevailed upon this
group 10 refrain from any violence
and they dispersed after his en-
treaties.
Out In California. . new or
EaniIation 10 bar Negroes rs resi-
dents Of Hollywood met with the
opposition Of another group OF
white citizens formed to mobilize
against the flrst organization.
REPORTEDLY the cause Of the
controversy was the purchase Of a

Richmond. night club singer. and
the intention Of one Of the Mills
Brothers 10 buy in this area. AS

Pass Improvement association" was
formed and a meeting Of more than
$50 held
Organizers Of the Improvement
association" urged at the meeting
that a covenant be drawn up TO
prohibit Negro home owners in the
district One Of the speakers re-
ported Hollywood as a kes OF dyna-
mite because OF the "intiltration"
o. Negro families. while another
claimed that the Negro problem"
on the west coast is very serious
and delicate"
TO FIGHT this Improvement
association" two white women pro-
NOTED meeting 10 mobilize
against It's activities. One Of the
