former UCLA athlete, revealed
that he has been married for nine
months to a Los Angeles girl. He
was dressed in a double-breasted
gray plaid suit, bare-headed ard
wore a sport shirt minus tie. Rob-
inson was met at the Airport by
John r. Butler. Northside YMCA
Secretary, G. G. Galloway and D.
Crooms, of the Omaha Guide staff
and others.
After posing for photographs
and being introduced to admiring
fans, Jackie and his All-Stars
were transported to the YMCA
and the Walker Hotel where they
prepared for their Tuesday night
game with The Omaha All-Stars,
which was played at the Council
Bluffs Ball Park.
Robinson, the batting champ of
the international League with an
average of .349 said his first
years experience in organized
baseball had been very pleasant
and inspirational and that he had
not been subjected to any direct
ed prejudice. He could make no
definite commitment as to wheth-
er he would be in the Brooklyn line
UP next season. but he is anxious
ly awaiting a tryout next spring
with the club. He was apprecia-
tive of the opportunity Branch
Hickey and the Brooklyn Dodgers
had given him. While interested in
several outdoor sports including
football and basket ball, he is now
| concentrating mainly on making
a success of his career in organi-
zed baseball. Robinson said he
attributed his success thus far, to
his Christian training, the pray
ers Of his mother and tn adher-
ence to strict training rules.
Jackie was a four letter man at
UCLA, Los Angeles, where he was
team mate of Kenny Washington
and Woody Strobe. Washington
and Strobe recently made sports
history by being signed to play
with the Los Angeles Rams. the
worlds Professional Football
Champs.
Robinson's All-Stars lost their
local game to the Omaha ALL
stars by a score of 8 to z, when
| Subby Manzitto singled past End
base with the bases loaded and
two out in the last Of the ninth
inning. The remaining scheduled
games for the Robinson team are
at Denver. San Francisco and Los
Angeles.

which Will prevent Negro vet
Grams and their families from liv-

The executive committee of the
organization, however, agreed last
Monday to place the matter back
on the chapters agenda and ask
it to reconsider its action at a meet
ing to be held on July II. This
action came after the minority in
terest committee of the organi-
cation had filed a protest over the
action Of the local chapter.
One of the planks written into
the national platform of the ave
during its convention held recent
ly in Des MOines stated that the
organization would fightracialre-
strictiVe covenants wherever they
were met.
In voting to proceed with the
plans to build the project in the
area covered by the restrictive cove
nant, proponents Of the plan
argued that inasmuch as the site
selected was a good buy and that
it was unlikely that an equally good
buy could be found at an early
date, the site should be bought,
the project built and Negroes al
lowed to move in along with the
whites. Then, If Negroes were or
dered TO move because Of the cove
nant, the organization could make
an all-out fight to break the cove
nant. This, they stated, would be
good strategy and in keeping with
the policy Of the organization to
fight such covenants.
Opponents of the plan, how
ever, questioned whether Negroes
would even be permitted TO move
into the project after it was built
and pointed TO the almost impOs-
sible tasks Of defeating such
covenants. Negro members Of the
chapter, spanked by James Baker,
head of the minority interest
committee, led the fight against
the plan.
For the long-range positive pro-
gram DR.. Clinchy suggests a COM
munity approach to establish the
principles Of the American Broth
erhood which guarantees to every
citizen the rights and privileges
each person wants for himself.
