Pete s Bar Warned
 On Beer Overcharoe

Pete was sternly warned that such tactics will not work in TConnecti- cut, were Richard Simpson and Wellington Beale, both of the h. ter-Racial Commission. The Com mission declined to issue an off cial statement on the case.
 Leaders Hail Victory
 Waterbury leaders and a great many citizens last week hailed the victory over intolerance in the Maisan< case.
 One prominent civic leader 1e- clared:
 "The citizens of Waterbury are grateful to the BULLETIN and the Interracial Commission for this latest evidence that we are really going to enforce anti-bias laws in the State of Connecticut. Many of us were beginning to wonder what had happened to the case-whether we had once more started something we couldn't fin ish. It is good to know that We have the assurance that such i'm cidents as that in the case of Pete's Tavern will not happen again, or at least, that if and when they do, there is actually we can do about it.
 EDITORIAL
 Perhaps Pete has learned better than to re-Pete his into1erant ac-l tions which led up to the airing Of this case. There are possibly a l of people in Waterbury who, undoubtedly, are>~not inter ested in patronizing Pete, at any rate, because of this incident. All that all the people in Waterbury want to know is that, under the law, they have the right to do so, should they so desire-and to be rated like human beings if they do JEB.

The welcome mat is again rolled out this week to welcome back two more of our hometown boys from colleges in the south. Returning for their summer vacations are Lincoln Turner, student of Shaw University, in Raleigh, N. C., and Harold Thompson of Union Uni versity in Virginia. These young men are making a name for them selves and we know our readers join us in wishing them the best of luck in their future professions.
 The Graduates Party, given at 558 Mass. Ave. by the League of Women for Community Service at which the Aristo Club played hos tess, turned out to be a great suc- cess. It was wonderful to see the large number of boys and girls who are graduating from high school this year. As this reporter moved through the crowd in an attempt to get some ideas as to the future plans of these graduates, it seemed that their greatest worry is the present scarcity of jobs.

Waterbury-Pete Maisan, the Waterbury, bar boss who thought he could get away with charging Negro customers a double price for a glass of beer has learned a lesson in that kind of demoC- lacy which is the official policy of u e state of Connecticut
 As result Of a front expose by tksis writer in THE NEW ENG LAND BULLETIN and a com paint lodged with the Connecticut Itster-Racia1 Commission, Proprie- tt4S Maisan, whose establishment is 1t1;ated at the corner of North Ftrn and Main Street, has been tCsd by authorities to straighten u.s and fly right.
 In fact, Prose cutting Attorney Al b srt Hunnael has served notice on tie owner of "Pete's Tavern" that h., will serve his Negro patrons without discrimination of any sort, o[. else.
 Summoned To Hearing
 Summoned to the prosecutor's of see for an informal hearing to a1sswer.-- the charges .. pressed against him by the State Inter- Racial Commission, Maisan at tempted to squirm out of the hot slot in which he found himself by contending that patrons he he'd refused to serve had been intoxi- ca.t ted.
 The Maisan case had it's incep- ticn six weeks ago when the writer, informed that Pete was charging Negro customers twenty cents for a glass of beer for which whites paid ten cents, decided to test the accusation.
 The writer ordered 9 glass of beer, profered a dollar bill in pay ment and received eighty cents change. A white friend, standing at the bar, a matter of minutes later, purchased a similar drink for ten cents at this reporters ex- pense. .5..-
 When challenged as to the dis criminatory price, Pete attempted to alibi his way out of the situa- tion, however, when, the following week, the BULLETIN headlined the story and front-paged a pie ture of Pete's Tavern, the pro prietor became so enraged that he refused to serve Negroes at all.

Argentina: and Brazil

Peace Unitin Mexico
BY the Associated Press

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 10.-The
pattern of assaults on the United
States was varied at the Con
tinental Peace Congress" today
with attacks on Argentina and
Brazil.
Vincente Marischi of the Argen-
tine delegation linked President
Peron of Argentina to United
States and British capitalists. )"
However, he said "the era of con-
cessions to labor" has passed in
Argentina and now Gen. Peron
has "established unions of the
Falange type with his devoted
supporters at their head"
Marischi said any improvement
in the lot of the Argentine worker
was due to financial progress
made during the last war" under
previous pro-Fascist regimes. "
He said Gen. Peron's third posi-
ton" of neutrality between the
East and West does not exist

free unions but only with the
Franco unions"
Pedro Coronel of Paraguay also
linked his attacks against the
United States with attacks on the
governments of President Dutra
of Brazil and Peron in Argentina.
He said the 1947 civil war in Para
quay failed because of the con-
tinuous diplomatic, political, tech
nical and material aid given by
Yankee imperialism and the gov
ernments of Brazil and Argen-
tina"
Humberto Navarro of Ecuador
asked "the peaceful revocation"
of the Rio de Janeiro agreement
of 1941 which ended the Peru
vian- -Ecuadorian war by giving
Peru a large portion of disputed
territory. He asked the congress
to go on record as favoring a
revision of the agreement to give
the land of Ecuador.

Communists Face Crisis
In Risinq UNEMPLOYMENT

SHANGHAI. Sept. 10 (P.-The
Red press admitted today that
unemployment has become so
serious that discharged govern
ment workers are being taken
back at subsistence wages.
The papers also announced that
a new Experimentation cur
rency would be issued. This had
an ominous sound to inflation-
wise Shanghai.
The unemployment program
carried the slogan, Let three
peoples rice be shared by FIVE"
When the Nationalists ruled
Shanghai. much of their inefici-
ency was due to overstaffed
bureaus. The Communists lost
no time in cutting out the dead
wood. some Offices being reduced
as much as 80 per cent.
Now unemployment is such that
the retrenchment policy has been
suspended.
"Shanghai's Biggest Industry"
As things get worse, discharged
private employees, realizing they
have no chance to find other jobs,
are demanding more and more
severance pay.
One foreign businessman re-
marked. Severance pay is be-
coming Shanghai's biggest in
dustry."
For example. the United States
Information Service-which the
Communists ordered to close-is
now negotiating with 80 employees.
They are demanding six months
pay, despite a recent Communist
order limiting severance pay to
three months.
John Henderson, Information
Service director, has been refused
permission to- leave Shanghai,
apparently because Of the sever
ance wrangle.
