Following the arrest of Frank
Register, War Department messen-
ger, and Seldom M. Lindsey, taxi
cab driver, authorities of the Mill
tary District of Columbia said
there was possibility of further
arrests as a result of three months
of Investigations in the Pentagon.
Police said Lindsey who has
been under observation for some
time was arrested after he left
the Pentagon and crossed the Hi
way Bridge into the District Of
Columbia in his cab. CID men had
tried to arrest him at the building
but he sped away in the cab.
Register was arrested as he was
delivering messages on the four
tn floor of the Pentagon, the CID
said. They said he was carrying
pow III CotOu q DdLCn
bers slips.
He was taken before United
States Commissioner Stanley King
in Alexandria, Virginia, and faced
on $500 bond for further hearings
on charges of opening a lottery
and possessing lottery slips.
In Municipal Court in Wash
ing Lindsey pleaded not guilty
to charges of possession of num-
bers slips and was released on $500
bond. His jury trial was set for
July 81.
Military authorities said they
did not believe the men were
working together, but were mere
ly collectors for a Washington
gambling ring.
Police said Lindsey was the
fourth man arrested on Pentagon
numbers charges since the in
vestigation began three months.

correspondents permitted to cover
the Big Four Conference"
In an editorial captioned Rules
Could Be Wrong" the Minneapolis
Morning Tribune said, March IL:
The application of Louis r.
Lautier, a Negro reporter, for ad-
mission to the congressional press
galleries has been turned down by
the press correspondents commit
tee by a vote of 4 to /.
THE rejection was entirely on
technical grounds. The committee
decided that Lautier's chief atten-
ton was devoted to his work as
correspondent for the National Ne
gro Press association. AS such, the
committee decided, he did not fit
the rules of the association which
restrict press gallery seats to bona
fide correspondents of reputable
standing in their business, who rep
resent daily newspapers or news
paper associations requiring tele-
graphic service
The Negro press of this nation
has been growing more important
steadily and the quality Of its news
papers has been improving rapidly.
Many Of the Negro newspapers
have been attempting to do a good
job of reporting. President Tru-
man took cognizance of this re
Gently when he presented the Wen
dell l.. Willkie awards for outstand-
ing Negro journalism. Among the
recipients of those awards was
Lautier who was cited for his OBJ
jective reporting.
According to the rules, the cor
respondents committee probably
acted correctly. This does not mean,
however that the rules are right. ;"
The Washington Post said edi-
torially:
"The rule governing admission
to the Congressional press galleries,
as interpreted by the standing COM
mittee Of correspondents, operates
in practice to exclude all Negro
newspapermen. The rule declares
that Occupation of the galleries is
confined to bona fide correspondents
of reputable standing in their bust
ness, who represent daily news
papers or newspaper associations
requiring telegraphic service and
that persons engaged in other &C
equations whose chief attention Is
not given to newspaper corresp"u-
dence or to newspaper associations

Daily Press Attacks Barring
OF Lautier From Galleries

Daily newspapers all over the
country condemned the barring
from Congressional press galleries
of Louis Lautier, correspondent Of
this and other papers, by the Stand
ing Committee of Correspondents.
Among the papers which imme-
diately attacked Mr.. Lautier's ex-
clusion was the New York Herald
Tribune, the Minneapolis Morning
Tribune and newspaper PM.
The Herald Tribune said:
THE steadily improving Negro
newspapers are eager to get the
news in Washington. and they
ought to be welcomed. If the rules
don't fit. then perhaps the rules
should be changed"
Newspaper PM. of New York
City, in an editorial titled Color
Technicalities," said:
Newspapermen sometimes come
to view freedom of the press as a
private little monopoly - and no
strangers need apply.
THE committee Of coTrespon-
dents, which administers Congress
sional Press Galleries by authority
of Congress, have denied accredi-
tation to Louis r. Lautier, CORE
spondent for the Atlanta Daily
World, Negro daily newspaper, and
for the Negro Newspaper Publish
ers Association, which services
weekly papers. No Negro news
paperman has ever been accredited.
"Lautier was rejected on grounds
that Congress limited accreditation
only to persons whose chief at
tention is given to telegraphic cor
respondenCe for daily newspapers
or newspaper associations recurring
teIegraphic service
This is so obvious a groundlcss
technicality that it raises the in
escapable question whether the real
technicality didn't concern the
color of Lautier's skin.

STREET LIGHTING

Editor, The Citizen:
Not long ago The Citizen pub
lished an article with reference
to the proposed lighting system
for Duval street, a very prolific
idea, as any community is always
pround of we'll lighted main
street.
According to numerous private
discussions, bets now stand 2 to !
that if such a project isn't start
ed before Nov. 4, we stand "a
mighty slim chance of ever get
ting it, owing to existing AMI
mosities between some of our city
fathers. Furthermore, it is al
legged that promises made by
some of our City Hall boys dur
ing their political campaigns,
have not been fulfilled.
Frankly speaking, rumor $
about City Hall activities are far
from being complimentary. Con-
sequently, next city election
may prove itself quite bomb
she'll to more than one.
Watch out, boys, you have very.
little time in'Which to prove that
such allegations are unfounded.
