Woman Loses Her Suit
Charging Airport With
Race Discrimination

A Washington woman has lost
her suit for $4,000 damages based
on a claim that she was discrim-
mated against at the Washington
National Airport terrace dining
room because she is Negro.
A male, all-white jury returned
the verdict in favor of Air Term
inal Services, Inc.-holder of the
restaurant concession-after de.

Federal Court, Alexandria.
The damage claim was present.
ed by Mrs. Helen Nash, 1880 Thlr-
teenth street NV, who said she
suffered mental anguish. physlcal
discomfort and embarrassment
when she and her husband, DR.
William Nash. were refused serv-
ice in February, 1947. because OF
their race. Her attorneys. Will
liam S. Thompson and James
Washington, contended the caf-
eteria for Negroes at the airport
did not offer facilities equal to
those for white persons in the
dining room.
Equality Only Consideration.
Judge Albert v. Bryan in
structed the jury to consider only
whether white and Negro eat
ing facilities were substantially
equal" in February, 1947.
"You are not concerned with
segregation, explained Judge
Bryan. adding that it was re-
quired by law at that time.
Segregation at airport restau-
rants was ended in December,
1948, by order of the Civil Aero
nautics Administration. In a test
case a month later, Judge Bryan
upheld the CAA non-segregation
order.
Mrs. Nashs attorneys said the
cafeteria was in the basement, and
that patrons had to serve them
selves. while mattresses served in
the dining room. They said Negro
patrons had to walk down a cor
ridor used by small airport trucks,
and the cafeteria had no win
dows. They said the cafeteria
menu had less variety than that
of the dining room.
Mrs. Alice Hayes, colored, ATS
employe called as a witness for
Mrs. Nash. testified the cafeteria
was smaller but said the food
served there and in the dining
room was the same.
Could Request Table Service.
Edward M. Schramm. ATS
general manager who was called
as a witness by both sides, said
Negro patrons could request table
service in the cafeteria and that
food served there was the same as
in the dining room.
Attorney Frederick Ball for ATS
said in his closing argument that
the dining room reserved for the
President of the United States
was on the same floor as the
cafeteria.
Judge Bryan, in his instructions
to the jury. defined substantially
equal" as meaning equivalent,
and not identical. He said it was
proper for the Jurymen to COM
pare physical character, comfort
entertainment, services and gen.
eral atmosphere of the various air.
port eating places.
Two suits similar to the one
brought by Mrs. Nash were
dropped after segregation was
ended at the airport. Mrs. Nash
originally sought an additional
$4,000 damages on grounds seq
regation was illegal. Judge Bryan
in September dismissed all the
charges based on segregation be-
cause he said it was required al
that time by CAA regulations and
