Governor Hits School Bias

The report of the Connecticut h. ter-racial Commission, revealing widespread discrimination by the states higher institutions of learn, ing against Negroes, Catholics ana Jews, "prevents us from closing our eyes any longer to how sharp and ugly this discrimination often is," declared Governor Bowles Thursday. , eo1 lowed release of the Commlsslon report prepared by Dr. Harry G' Stetler, research associate.
 sThe record of our private non denominational colleges m this field of discrimination seems to be a rather dismal one," the GoV- ernor said. .,7 T,
 "I would like to call, with all earnestness, on the heads of our private non-denominational inst1tu- tions and our private and monde noninational preparatory schools to take action = fortnight, vigorous action - to eliminate discrimina- ton wherever it exists"
 Recalling that the University or Connecticut had called for an end to bias in fraternities. MT. Bowles said this was the exception" rath- CT than the rule. ':''

 Upon returning, I found fifteen cents change.
 It was then I showed my press card to Pete and asked him what was the idea of charging me twen- ty cents for a glass of beer and my friend who had just bought one, ten cents.
 He called me aside and said:
 Look, Burke, I've got televi- sion set I've got to pay for"
 I asked him what his paying for television set had to do with the price of beer.
 He replied:
 It's my beer. charge for it as I want"
 ttIts true, it's your beer, Pete," I said. t1sHand me back my dollar" :"
 He said he hoped I hadn't got the wrong impression, but after all "nnost of my customers are white and.I have to loo kout for myself" :" He added:
 Personally, it doesn't matter to me, but when colored people come in here, it only. causes confusion. It's just that colors don't mix"
 Pm hoping the last laugh will be on Pete. For, as representative of a@militant weekly newspaper which doesn't believe in one price tag on the rights of a Negro and another on the rights of white man, and as a citizen of Water bury, I've forwarded charges against Pete to the Connecticut In- ter-racial Commission in Hartford.

and, on the basis of his record, it was expected that he would have done such thing" he declared.
 Senators Baldwin and McMahon came in for praise for their civil rights stand in Congress and were cited by MT. Wilkins as friends to be remembers at election time."
 Leroy Carter, National office or ganizer, called for support of the drive by Connecticut citizens. He said the branch seeks 1900 new members.
 Mrs. Vasco Hale, vice-president of the branch, made an appeal for funds.
 Dr. J. c. Jackson was an eloquent master of ceremonies. Dr. Jackson heartily seconded Mr. Wilkins re- jection of MT. Robeson's observa- tions.

 'sNot Enough Segregation
 The NAACP executive said that Forresta1 had told him and a group of national leaders recently that there was not enough discrimina- tion present in the segregated set up of the military forces to merit abandoning segregation.
 Of Enfield, Connecticut's Paul Robeson, who earned international front-page publicity with his ob- servations in behalf of American Negroes Wilkins declared:
 'It is a mighty foolish thing for any man or organization to say that he represents all American Negroes. The NAACP, with half million members, doesn't claim to speak for all American Negroes. Sometimes it can't speak for all it's members"
 Pointing up gains made in legal battles throughout the country on civil rights and educational equal ization, Wilkins paid tribute to Governor Bowles' leadership in gaining the unanimous approval of the Connecticut legislature for a non-segregated National Guard.

Right Ill the center of what IS known as the Negro area - on the corner of North Elm St. and North Main St., stands Pete's Tav- ern.
 Despite the fact that Negroes frequent the tavern daily and have liquor bills averaging weekly five or six dollars - although they cash their checks there, Pete's Tavern, which is interested in keeping to a minimum of the number of Ne groes frequenting the place, has one price for a Negro and another for white man. The proprietor, Peter Maisan, gives as his reason his belief that "colors don't mix"
 That is what he told me Thurs day when I went into his place and ordered glass of beer. I gave him a dollar bill and received eighty cents change. ,c .a-s s.@

 And speaking of rubbish, Will kins, second in command of the famed and powerful organization, observed that was just what cer- tain concert artist by the name of Paul Robeson had dished out in Paris when he sounded off that American Negroes would refuse to fight against Soviet Russia in the event of war.
 Citing gains which have been made throughhout the nation - with the help of the numerous NAACP branches, the speaker, in-- troduced by Minnie Pierce, local president, cited Congressional in action on civil rights as the most significant reversal the organlza- ton has faced.
 Commenting the action of new ly-appointed Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson in calling for re- port from the armed services on what has been done to counteract segregation, MT. Wilkins declared:
 ssIt is highly significant that the news of MT. Johns order that memos be submitted on steps talk en against segregation came out in the morning papers and news of MT. ForrestaPs resignation III
