Mrs. Gordon Perrin of Ell
Dorado, Ark, runner-up in last

Athletic Union Clears Yer.
non Morgan Of Con-
tract Charge

CHAPEL HILL, Oct. IA. W
- There was a great silence
officially - about the Charlie
Justice case on the University
of North Carolina campus today:
and it appeared that Carollna's
views would not be aired until
the Southern Conference execu-
tive Committee meets in Durham
Saturday to decide on the eligi-
bility of the speedy Tar Heel
backfield star.
Among the students, it was a
different story, naturally. But the
fate of the celebrated "Choo-
lChoo" was not to be decided by
the undergrads. Saturdays speci-
al meeting was called last night
by DR.. H. A. Fisher, Of North
Carolina State College, a COM
mittee member.
The question of Justices elgl-
bility under conference rules
was raised last Saturday by John
J. Wicker, a Richmond. Va, law
yer, who is attorney for Vernon
Morgan, a University of Rich
mond athlete ruled negligible as
a boy of IS he signed a profession
al baseball contract.
Wicker brought Justices status
into question after a National
Magazine had published a story
in which it was said he had
signed a professional football con
tract while he was serving IN the
Navy.
If the Tar Heel flash is per-
mitted to continue playing,
Wicker declared, Morgan should
be reinstated or the Southern
| Conference will be convicted Of
the rankest discrimination in its
history.
At Philadelphia, Al Ennis.
General Manager of the Philadel-
phia Eagles, said today his Ma
tional Football League now has
mo connection whatever" witt
Justice.
Giving his recollection Of the
circumstances, Ennis said Justice
signed a contract with the clut
which first accepted by Elmer
Hayden, then Pro Football Com
missioner, but later rejected by
Hayden.
It was signed, he SAID, early
IN 1943 after Justice, then ~
had graduated from Ashevllle
high school. At that time, Ennis
added, it appeared Justice had
no intention of going to college.
1T was on the strength OF that
fact - that he didn't seem te
intend gong to college that we
offered him a contract" He ex'
planned.
Later when Justice entered
North Carolina, Ennis said Car
Snavely, the Carolina coach, hae
been told of the contract trans
action.
Meantime, Morgan was given {
clean bill of health as far as the
Amateur Athletic Union is con
cerned.
DR.. William H. Parker, o:
Richmond, chairman of reglstra'
ton of the Virginia AAU, an
nounced that secretary-treasurel
Daniel J. Ferris of New YorE
had declared Morgan was en-
titled to participate in any AAt
contest.
Parker, after talking with Fer
ris, said, "We hold him an anna
teur in the final letter of the
word and would welcome hfN il
any of our competition"
This ruling was made today
by Daniel J. Ferris of New York
secretary-treasurer of the AAU
after a ruling had been requested
by DR.. William H. Parker, chair.

places which practice discrimina-
ton.
The pamphlet points out that
there are five states which have
laws against discrimination in pri-
vate employment. These states are
Indiana and WiscOnsin-which have
laws containing no penalties and
providing only for investigation
and study and Massachusetts, New
York and New Jersey which penal
ize violators.
In Indiana and Wisconsin, the
committee said, victims Of discrim-
nation should make whatever use
they can Of the legal machinery set
up. 1t advises the filing Of com
plants with appropriate state
agencies and exposure of the case
to the public.
Any victim Of race or religious
discrimination in employment in
Massachusetts, New York and
New Jersey can file a complaint
with the state agency by filling
in a standard form provided for
that purpose, the pamphlet points
out.
The pamphlet also points out
that the courts and other agencies
have made rulings on racial or re-
ligious discrimination in employ
ment. These rulings include a de-
cision by the United States Su-
preme Court that a labor union as
the exclusive bargaining agent for
a class or craft must represent all
members Of the class or craft with
out discrimination. II also points
out that the California Supreme
Court has decided that a labor
union which bars colored workers
from membership cannot enforce a
closed shop agreement against a
colored worker who refuses to ae-
cept membership in an auxiliary.

Much Discrimination Based On
Ignorance CLIO Research Group
Reports in Curl Rights Book

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March
CNNPA)-Race discrimination and
segregation are practiced in many
places because Of ignorance Of the
average citizen or his negligence
in taking advantage Of civil rights
law, the Discrimination Com
mIttce Of the Congress Of Indus
trial Organizations reported last
Tuesday.
In handbook outlining civil
rights laws in twenty states, the
committee, Of which George l.. p.
Weaver is the director, urged all
citizens to take full advantage Of
those laws.
The twenty states listed as hav-
ing auti-discrlminatory statutes
are California, Colorado, Connect
cut, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas,
Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan,
Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hamp-
shire, New Jersey, New York. Ohio.
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Wash
iugton and Wisconsin.
The Gro research department
found that eighteen Of these TWEEN
~ states prohibit race discrimina-
ton in restaurants and other eat
ing places, most Of them prohibit
it in public conveyances, over half
Of them include theatres and bar
BIER shops, seven Of them prohibit
discriminatory advertising, and
others provide for equal rights in
places ranging from hotels to ceme-
teries and including hospitals, rest
rooms, stores, elevators, poolroOms,
race tracks and saloons.
Most Of the statutes include a
comprehensive prohibition, making
the statute applicable TO "all other
places of public accommodation or
amusement" the pamphlet said.
Penalties for violation Of these
statutes range from fines Of $40
to $1,000 or Jail sentences Of
from 80 days to one year, or both,
and in some states suits for civil
damages are authorized.
In addition to these penalties,
some states provide for suspension
