BARBER PAYS SAY TO CUT HEAD OF HAIR

Williamstown, Mass. = Way man G. Caliman, Jr., a senior at Williams College, walked in- to a local barber shop a few weeks ago to get a haircut. He knew that the usual cost was $1.0 so he was fabbergasted when the barber told him that the charge was $500.
 Back at the College he re- ported his experience to some of his white classmates. In very short order they expressed their resentment and indigna- tion by picketing the barber shop. Then close on the heels of that Caliman entered suit against the proprietor, Mederic Bleau.
 The other day the whole mat ter came to a head in court where the Judge offered MT. Bleau the following advice: 'tThe soldiers of this nation fought to make this country safe for you and me and the colored boy was not told that he could not fight for his country" And then this advice was SUD- plemented with fine of $50 for racial discrimination.

CONFERENCE HITS
 ANTT-LABOR BILLS

San Francisco, Cal.-Attack- ing the Ball. Taft-Smith Bill and Case Bill as anti-labor, some 150 delegates from the NAACP branches up and down the west coast, meeting in a West Coast Conference in San Francisco on March 7 and 8, went on record in a hard-hitting program in opposition to these bills.
 The combined branches went on to state: "We are not con- fused or fooled by the present effort to pass such anti-labor proposals as the Ball-Taft- Smith Bill and Case Bill. We recognize this legislation as an attack upon the liberties of the American working man and we spurn it as a move in the direc- tion of dictatorship. We call upon Congress to refrain from passing these bills. If they are passed, we ask the President of the United States to give them a resounding veto"
 The report of the conference also declared, 'sLayoffs in some government agencies have been accompanied by gross and un, believable discrimination in hir- ing of new workers. We call upon the President to establish immediately appropriate ma chinery to prevent this discrim- ination and punish those who practice it. ;
 The conference strongly also scored police brutality and urg- ed branches to take appropriate steps in their communities to eradicate such brutality by per sonally interviewing police au- thorities, disseminating litera- ture and urging possible use of police training schools. Other matters on which the Confer ence took a stand include rent control, housing and employ ment.
