CLUB FERDINANDO HURTS PALLOTI

Hartford - No matter how honest and sincere a man in public life may be, much of his reputation may we'll depend up on those who he has about him as hangers-on.
 Senator Palloti was the vic tim of this the other night at the Club Fernando when he was the guest at a testimonial dinner that was given by his supporters. First of all the Club Ferdinando for a long time has had the reputation for being one of the most preJu- diced eating places in this sec tion, as far as colored patrons are concerned. Then next some of Senator Palloti's we'll wish CTS unwittingly helped the Clubs policy.
 The case in point was Arthur Webb, a colored business man of Windsor Street, who was sold one of the tickets to the dinner and then somehow was denied a meal when he got there. It is alleged that a number of people were unable to get food because of a short age but that is not what a lot of MT. Palloti s colored friends are thinking.

JUSTICE COMES TOO LATE

Mannheim, Germany A member of the 661st Trucking Company is now in the Ninety Seventh General Hospital un- der heavy guard recovering from bullet wounds that had to be inflicted by his comrades. He had to be shot down when he went beserk, killing a first ser geant and seriously wounding three other sergeants.
 At the time that the soldier lost his mental equilibrium he was in the Guard House serv- ing a sentence for a crime that he insisted that he did not com init. He had protested his in- nocence to everyone from the Commanding Officer down to his companions in the ranks. Many sympathized with him but no one seemed to be able to do anything.
 Then the strain became too great. He snatched the rife of the soldier guarding him, held him at bay and then went in quest of his sergeants and Commanding Officer. He found four of the sergeants, killing one and wounding three others seriously. But before he could get to the Commanding Officer, his comrades had to shoot him down.
 After all this unnecessary damage had been done and the soldier was lying in the hospi- tai facing either death or twen- ty years at hard labor, re- scinding order covering the first charge from the reviewing of ficer arrived at the post. It read, 'The soldier is not guilty. The conviction is rescinded. Set him free. "
 All of which goes under the heading of too little, too late.

A PUBLIC MENACE GOES TO PRISON

New York - Judge Samuel Leibowitz sentenced William Davidson, alias Little Gangy" ;, to prison the other day for 20- 40 years. The particular of fense that at last brought this dangerous criminal to the end of his route, was the fact that he fired several shots into a group of Negroes last August. And this was the first time that a court of justice had been af- forded a real opportunity to punish a man whose offenses against society were endless. For no matter what the offense had been in the past, this un- derworld character had some how managed to wiggle out of conviction.
 But to the very end this enemy of society sneered and smirked at the court and the people, thus evoking these words from Judge Leibowitz:
 Davidson, I am going to give you everything in the book. You have been standing there for half an hour while I read this report to you and you have had nothing but a sheer and a smirk on your face.
 "You are a gangster and a killer and you don't deserve any consideration but l might say this: Try to get into a cor ner by yourself and think things over, and if you want to get consideration, from me, you decide to go to the district at torney and tell all you know.
 Tell District Attorney Nc Donald about the gangsters, about different murders, about the fixers, and about the crook ed bondsmen, and how they work. Tell him about how wit nesses are fixed, how they are

gotten out of town and put on the spot. "
 This was the apparent of the criminal career of man whose record ties him up with charges that range from disorderly con duct to murder. And at last he was convicted on six assault charges.

DIR. MAYS APPEARS BEFORE COMMISSION

Washington, D. C.-Attorney for the NAACP, representing Dr. Benjamin B. Mays, dis tinguished educator and presi- dent of Warehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia, carried the college heads complaint against the Southern Railway to the entire Interstate Com merce Commission in this city on Monday, January 9th. Dr. Mays filed his complaint against the railroad after a trip be- tween Atlanta and New York during which he was subjected to undue discrimination in one of the company's dining cars. In addition to the com blaming, Dr. Mays is seeking $2500 in damages, following the refusal of the railroad to serve him in the dining car.
 Since the complaint was filed the railroad claims that it's dining car regulations have been amended. According to the company's claims it is now setting aside one table in the dining ear for the exclusive use of colored passengers. The rest of the car to be operated ex- clusively for the use of whites. The so-called Negro table is to be next to the pantry and kitch- en portion of the train, the sec tion usually avoided by passen- gers because of the excessive heat and discomfort. The rail- road will install an office" i'll this "section' for the steward with cash register and other necessities.
 It was pointed out in the ar guments by NAACP attorneys, Thurgood Marshall, Robert l.. Carter, and Spottswood Robin son, III, that this case comes under the principles of the Irene Morgan case; and that the segregation regulation of the railway, passed in the light of state statutes which required the separation of the races, was invalid; and that the new regu- lation failed to satisfy the re quirement of the Interstate Commerce Act which forbade undue preferences and unjust discrimination.
