WHITE PASSENGER PUT
In CAB WITH NEGRO BY
COP BRINGS ARREST

AUGUSTA, Ga. (ANP) =
Buck White, a Harlem taxicab
driver, is of the opinian that you
cant win, no matter what you
do" White was arrested here last
week and fined SIS for transporting
a white passenger with colored
passenger in his cab.
In court, White told the judge
that he was carrying a colored
passenger when he was stopped
by a policeman. The policeman
pushed a white man in the back
seat, despite the drivers protest
that he was not allowed to car
ry white and eolored passengers.
He said the officer told him that
he was putting the man in any
way.
Later, White was arrested, des-
pite his efforts to explain that he
did not take the white passenger
on his own hook. He said he was
struck in the stomach and other
parts of the body by the arrest
ing officers.
In addition to the IS fine, he
was also fined 50 for not having
his photo in the right place.

Six Negro women are employed

schools this year.
Last year, for the first time In
the schools history, two Negro
women teachers were hired. Their
success and a need for good teach

hirings this year.
One of the Negro teachers OF
last year did not complete the year

CALIFORNIA INTERMARRIACE LAW
RULED INVALID BY STATE SUP. COURT

. SAN FRANCISCO, = A Califor-
MIA law prohibiting marriage of
white persons to those of Negro,
Mongolia or Malayan blood was
thrown out last week by the State
Supreme Court.
The opinion declared that since
the right to marry Is the right to
join in marriage with the person
of ones choice, law prohibiting
"a person from marrying a member
of another race restricts his
choice, thereby restricting his
right to marry.
The court held the law violated
the equal protection of the laws
clause of the u. S. Constitution.
The court directed that the Los
Angeles County clerk issue mar
riage license, as requested, by An
dreo ID. Perez, a white woman, and
Sylvester S. Davis, Negro.
The ruling declared marriage
is something more than a civil
contract subject to regulation by
the state. 1t is fundamental
right of free men,"
Decision Is Split
The court split, to 3, on the
issue.
The dissent pointed out that 20
states. in addition to California,
had laws barring the marriage of
whites to Negroes. Whenever chal-
lenged. the dissent said these laws
have been upheld as valid exer-
cises of legislative power by both
state and federal courts.
Miss Perez and Davis applied
for a marriage license in Los An
geles last year and were denied.
Members of Same Church
In their petition to the hight
court Miss Perez and Davis said
both were Catholics; that the
church didn't forbid such mar
rage, and that they didn't want
to leave California in order to
follow the belief of their church.
They eontended the county
clerks action denied them the
right to participate fully in the
sacramento life of the religion in
which they believed.
The Supreme Court agreed with
them. saying marriage and procre-
alton are fundamental to the very
existence and survival of the hui
man race, and that legislation gov
erning such rights must be based
upon more than prejudice, and
must be free from oppressive dis
elimination"
There can be no prohibition of
marriage, the ruling said, Except
for an important social objective
and then only by Reasonable
MEANS"

NEGRO IS ASSISTANT
SUPT. in DETROIT
POST OFFICE

DETROIT = (ANP) - In De-
troit, one of the "unwritten" laws
applied in the upgrading of Ne
groes in the post office is being
defied. This city postal department
has Negro serving as assistant
superintendent.
This ranking postal worker is
Andrew S. Waundles who has
come up through the ranks and
served on every shift on all types
of jobs. He was appointed to his
present office, assistant superin-
tendent of mails, Aug. 16, 1913.
He is in charge of mailing let
tiers, papers and parcel post on
the 8 am. to 4:30 pm. shift.
Although his taking over this posi-
tion caused lot of talk, not a
single employee walked out be-
cause he was upgraded.
The promotion of Waundles is
a tribute to the fair policies of
Postmaster Huston. Within the
past 90 years several Detroit post
ais officials had made reputation
with their anti-Negro acts. Some
of them refused to let a colored
worker even sell stamps from a
window.
This procedure and other efforts
to keep the colored workers down
are being made thing of the
past by the Huston administration.
Waundles has worked in the
postal service since 1921 when he
started out in Chicago. He went
to Detroit in 1924. In April, 1899,
he become foreman of the city
delivery parcel post. IL pm. to
7:90 am. tour; in 1912, in charge
of outgoing parcel post, 2:30 =
II p. m. tour and in 1914 the same
position but on thes am. to
2:3O pm. tour.
He attended Wiley college and
Fisk university. He was born in
Beaumont, Texas. He was married
in 1928 to the former Wilhelmina
Webb of Detroit. He has two
children, Andrew Jr and Mrs.
Jeanne Guzman. and grandchild,
Andrew III.
