CHICAGO - Superior ] u G e
Frank M. Padden dismissed an
injunction to enforce a restric-
tive covenant against two Negro
couples in what was believed the
first lower--court ruling on re-
strictive covenants since the
United States Supreme Court de-
cision.
The injunction was sought by
the Parker Manor improvement
Association and Mrs. Mary J. Gro
min. to prevent the Negro couples
from taking possession of a two
story residence on the city's
South Side. Mrs. Cronin, who
formerly owned the building, was
one of the property owners in the
neighborhood who signed a re-
strictive covenant in 1927.
The Negro couples, Excel and
Ollie Dixon, and their daughter
and son-in-law, Catherine and
John Love, purchesd the residence
from a bank for $4,000 last
January.
In unfolding the Negro fami-
lies, Judge Padden said the Su-

"A. PHILIP RANDOLPH, PRES. BSCP, SAYS
CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE PLAN GROWING

WASHINGToN-A. Philip Ran
dolph, sponsor of the civil-diso-
bedience plan under which Me-
groes would refuse to be drafted
into the armed services, said his
program is gaining national mo-
mentum.
Randolph, president of the
Brotherhood of Sleeping Car
Porters, came from New York to
testify before committee of in
quiry into segregation In the
armed forces. He was cheered
by packed assembly hall at the
Negro Y. M. G. A. as he advocat-
ed his program, which he said
would ''do the country a favor"
by ending what he called undemo-
cratic and unjust racialism.
But twice Randolph evaded di-
rect questions on whether he
would urge Negroes to ignore the
draft in time of war. Finally he
said:
We'll cross that bridge when
we come to it,"
Randolph warned that civil dis
obedience would be difficult.

dangerously he said. But he
added there n rst be mo vio-
lence, no hate. no revenge
The meeting was adjourned
when Prof. Frank Coleman, who
teaches physics at Howard Uni
'versity. said from the floor that
the plan was unsound and not
popular with many Negroes. He
was told he could appear as a
witness.
Coleman said he represented

soldiers. He said they indorsed,
with just one dissenting vote, a
resolution that opposed civil dis
obedience.
Several Witnesses have been
questioned In the unofficial in
quiry and more are scheduled to
appear.
Arthur Garfield Hays. attorney
and veteran civil-liberties cam
paigner. is a member of the in
quiry board. He injected a po-
litical note into the questioning
when he asked Randolph If his
group had been liable to smoke
Gov. Dewey out" as to his stand
on racial discrimination.
Randolph said no.
James C. Evans. a Negro who
is advisor to Secretary of Defense
Forrestal on Negro problems, tes-
titled at length on what is be-
ing done to better conditions in
the services.
Evans said the Navy has made
marked improvement, although he
added that at one time it was the
worst branch of service for
Negroes.
Randolph first read a prepared
text. Ia which he recommended a
''bold and immediate program of
action" to get what he called
universal justice"
During questioning later, he
was more emphatic. He said the
ciyil-disobedience program was
the only program that would adj
vance the Negro cause. He said
that America is fluid" and now
is the time to strike. If Negroes
wait 1T may be too late, he said.
