Buffalo Business
Week Observed

BUFFALO, N. Y. July (NIPS)
"A week-long celebration of Ne

ness that is held by observers to
be one of the most outstanding of

Gently observed under the auspices
of the local unit of the Phi Beta

One of the highlights of the pro

the streets of the city that featur-
ed numerous floats, cars, and
trucks that displayed the many
enterprises in which the Negro
businessman has entered success
fully. 1t was estimated that more
than $4,000 persons witnessed the

Also outstanding was a luncheon
meeting at which more than 800
guests heard the noted Detroit in

Blount, urge the tremendous need
for adequate preparation on the
part of those entering the filed. The
Importance of good business adj

At the final meeting, the emil

not base his standard of operation
from a purely racial angle but
rather conduct his affairs from an
American business standard. The

Estates Rights"
Called False Issue
In Opposition To
Truman Program

NASHVILLE, Tenn. July - Lee
gislation to ammend present civil
rights laws for greater protection
of the rights, immunities and pri-
vileges of the individual was
strongly urged this week by Attor-
new A. Abbot Rosen, Chief of the
Civil Rights Section of the United
States Department of Justice.
Speaking before the current ses-
sions of the American Missionary
Association Race Relations Insti-
tute at Fisk University, Attorney
Rosen proposed amendments to
strengthen Sections 81 and 81 Of
the Federal Criminal Code which
allow for criminal action by the De
partment of Justice in cases of po-
lice brutality and other forms of
misconduct by public officials, de-
NAL of the right to vote, and cases
of peonage and involuntary servi-
tude.
PRESENT LAW INADEQUATE
The inadequacies of present laws
according to Attorney Rosen, are
due to the fact that they are not so
clear or definite as to provide air.
tight devices in court. Criminal
action by the government can be
taken only when there is conspira-
cy or "willful-intent' to prevent a
citizen from exercising right
granted by the Constitution, said
the speaker. Constitutional provi-
sions protect against mob action
led or connived in by police Off
ials, but they do not, under the de-
cisions of our Supreme Court, in
hibit strictly private actions which
makes life so insecure for members
Of minority groups Attorney Ro-
sen explained.
Legislation proposed by the De-
partner Of Justice to expand fed
eral jurisdiction and give greater

mune from punishment for a crime

the case Of the right to vote, At

"Violators of the injunction

wheels of justice could grind quick
ly, and we could expect the multi
tudes against whom discrimination
has been practieed to have their
rights vindicated summarily," At
torney Rosen said with respect to
proposed legislation.
The speaker said that the pro-
posals would permit the Depart
ment of Justice to act more effect
lively in cases of lynching than even
the anti-lynch bill presented in the
last Congress, which he termed in
effective. He recommended a we'll
rounded civil rights legislative ap-

SHREVEPORT, La. - Cootie
Williams, winner of many of the
most coveted prizes in musicdom,
set a new but unwanted "preced-
ent" here last Friday night when
a patron at DANCE where he and
his band were playing, brought
suit against the famed "growl"
trumpeter, charging that she had
suffered broken ear drum as the
result of the powerful blasts from
the Williams horn. The plaintiff -
Mrs. Elviria Singleton 49, filed her
complaint against the All-Ameri-
can award winning star in small
claims court, but it was when hand
ed up to the sitting magistrate.
According to Mrs. Singleton, she
suffered the accident because she
got too close to chat powerful
horn blower A routine investigat-
ion by a hurriedly retained lawyer
revealed the plaintiff had received
medical treatment for the ear in
jury several days prior to the
dance. 1t was on the basis of this
finding that the complaint was
thrown out.
Williams, somewhat bewildered
by the whole incident, observed,
"Now I've seen everything. I've al

been able to inject into my horn
blowing but, this is the first time
ever heard of anyone trying tc
