On Segregation, Says
dc. Lacks Democracy

Clark Foreman Progressive
Party leader, praised the report on
segregation here and charged yes
terday there is no democracy in
the District of Columbia"
He called on a delegation of so
visiting young liberals to carry back
to their homes and colleges in 10
States their fight for civil liberties.
The segregation report from a
committee of 81, made public yes
terday, was interpreted by Mr.. Fore
man as showing that opposition
20 the Negro population here is be-
ing carried out for the financial
advantage of the vested interests. :"
Ask Dismissal of Cases.
He spoke to the delegation Of
white and Negro students who had
attempted unsuccessfully here yes
terday to get the Government to
dismiss indictments against IL
Communist leaders in New York
City. The delegation was sponsored
by the Civil Rights Congress. which
has been labeled by the Justice De-
partment as a Communist-front
organization.
Mr.. Foreman spoke after hearing
complaints from the group about
their reception at the Justice De-
partment. and the reported refusal
of Child's Restaurant, on Pennsyl-
vania avenue near Fifteenth street
NV, to serve meals to Negro mem
bers of the delegation.

Division. During a half-hour con-
ference, the visitors had been told,
it was explained, that the IL Com
munists had been indicted by a
Federal grand jury which had no
connection with any other part OF
the Government. so the Justice De-
partment has no alternative but to
prosecute.
Regarding the incident at Child's
Restaurant, Charles C. Cox, man
ager, said the restaurant has mo
established policy" on feeding Ne
groes. When the group came in,
mattresses served the white mem
bers, but refused on their own re-
sponsibility to serve the Negroes,
the manager said. All Of the group
finally left, the whites refusing to
