Church Sues to Recover
$1152 From Auxiliary


Mrs. Evans and members of the
Radar Club charged the pastor
and his group" with 'sabataging"
the club by unlawfully disbanding
it since his return from the Annual
Conference, where it is said, his
return to the pastorate Of the
Church was by a small margin of
votes among the members for his
return.
Mrs. Evans, displayed the clubs
bank book to the EXPRESS, thus
confirming the money is intact and
is the property Of the club, and
not that Of the church as con-
tended in the petition for the re-
covery. The money is on deposit
-inthe bank, and only the decision
of the court can take it from the
club, Mrs. Evans told the Express
in an interview.
According to the Spokesman for
the Radar Club, for the past six
years members have been forced
to use the basement of the church
as their place of worship due to
the condition of the upper part of
the building which is not properly
heated or equipped for comfort

Jim Grow

BOSTON (ANP)-A determin-
ed line of pickets composed of both
Negro and white youths last week
smashed conclusively the Jim crow
hiring policy of Handy's grill, a
cafe catering to 95 percent Negro
business. Modified by the Labor
Youth leagues newly formed Paul
Robson club, the pickets marched
only one night before the cafes
management reversed its polity.
One day earlier the manager of
the cafe had stubbornly told a
delegation that he refused to hire
Negro mattresses or bartenders.

Miners Local

POCHANTAS, Va. (ANP)-
The United Mine Workers local
here is headed by Ed Mitchell, who
doesn't think it strange that a Ne
gro was elected to head a pre-
dominantly white local.
81 guess they just know what
kind of a fellow I ann, he says.
Among his many jobs as leader,
he must see that the coal miners
r able to stand up under the
strike, and prevent backsliding or
weakening in the ranks.
Mitchell is a militant union man,
and dislikes and d~istrusts his en-
ployers. His special disfavor goes
to the company store which cut off
of miners credit when the walk
out began.
The leader of the local has the
respect and friendship of almost
all of his fellow miners.

Police to Crack
Down On
Speedsters

The first serious attempt to
erase the traffic hazard on Ger
man town Street which has taken
such a heavy toll of young child
rem will begin on November 1.
The traffic section Of the police
department is purchasing eight
new motorcycles which with the
four already operating will enable
the section to have six patrolling
the streets between 6 am. and
10 pm. Captain Haywood COM
handing officer Of the traffic
division declared that concentra-
ton of police scrutiny will be made
on Germantown Street. Traffic
violators will be severity dealt with.
The death toll due to automo-
bile accidents has probably been
higher on Germantown Street be-
tween the Lakeview Avenue
junction and Macarthur Avenue
than on any other thoroughfare
in the city. Pedestrians Traffic on
Germantown Street is heavy and
a good portion of it is young
children.
1t was limited that the traffic
department is going to crack down
on violators. Those caught violat-
ing the speed laws face definite
arrest and lock up if their speed
is in a high bracket. Penalties will
be meted out according to the
rate of speed exceeding the limit.
The EXPRESS has been con-
tinually calling for ~stricter en-
forcement of speed laws to elimin-
ate this hazard. This paper has
also repeatedly appealed to motor
lists to observe the speed limit and
driving regulations.

@. Should one ever hurry
through the simple formality of
introducing two persons?
A. No. Haste is undignified, and
mistakes and embarrassment often
result from hurrying through in
Productions. Takep lenty of time
and pronounce the names slowly
and distinctly.
@. Is it considered proper to
send wedding invitations to
friends who live SO far away that
one knows they will be unable to
attend the wedding?
A. Certainly. Distance has moth
ing to do with thoughtfulness.
@. If your wife is telling a story
to a group of friends and has an
important fact wrong, is it all
right to interrupt and correct her?
A. This is quite often done, and
is extremely rude. It is much bet
