Wife Of Congress-
man Powell Files
$4,000 segrega-
ton Suit In Wash.

Washington, d. c. Feb. % (Spec-
ial) - Mrs. Hazel Scott Powell
the world famous star of STAG
and screen, and the wife of C
gresham Adam Clayton Powell of
New York has filed a $4,000 seq
regation suit against Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry Utz of Pasco, Washington.
The suit filed under the Wash
ington State Civil Rights Law
has been brought as the result of
the refusal to serve Mrs. Scott in
a Pasco Cafe.
Hazel Scott is now on concert
tour with Columbia Concerts and
was now bound on the Northwest
Special between Idaho and Spokane.
Washington on Feb. Is. The Union
Pacific Railroad was able to dio
them out and hired a bus to trans
port them the balance of the trim.
The bus stopped at Pasco at q
cafeteria owned by Harry Utz.
Miss Scott asked for SOUP. but
was refused by the waitress The
cashier explained to her, eve do
not Serve colored." She demanded
the owner who appeared and cor
flrmed in exactly the same words
She Immediately went to the Police
Station at Pasco, where she was
virtually ordered out despite the
fact that she had witnesses. both
White and Negro, and explained
to the policemen that she was the
wife of the United States Con
gresham Adam Powell.
When she arrived in Spokane
where she stayed at the Davenport
Hotel she hadn't eaten ANYTHING
in twenty seven hours. Her ira
yelling companion and secretary,
Mrs. Eunice Wolfe, of White
Plains, N. Y, was also refused
and is suing for $4,000. The law
yer handling the case is Max Etter,
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1949-03-05

Act, the Secretary is authorized
to insure loans for the full amount
of principal and interest under
certain prescribed conditions, a
mong which are "a that the loan
be based on longtime earning ca
pacity (2) that the applicant make
10 per cent down payment and
(3) that the interest rate be 3
percent.
1t was pointed out also that the
lender is protected for the full
amount of the loan and that in the
event legal action is necessary,
such action is handled by the farm
ers Home Administration without
recourse insofar as the lender is
concerned.
The insured Farm Mortgage
Program supplements the direct
loan program of the Farmers Home
Admintration which has been in
operation since 1887. More than
10000 direct federal farm owner
ship loans have been made under
the program since its beginning.
More than 16 percent of this num-
Der have repaid theoir loans in
full. In Mississippi approximately
$500 loans have been made and
ITO have been repaid in full. The
soundness of this type of credit
has been fully demonstrated.
The following quotations from
statements of bankers are typical
of the feelings of those who are
participating in the program.
"These federally insured NOR
tages are simple to handle, and
we have little or no work in con
nectior with them. More impor-
tant, the program provides us a
way to develope new business and
broaden our services to the com
munity and it gives us a chance
to work with families who cannot
qualify for regular credit but who
are likely to become good custom
ers in the future
''The loans, being insured b.
the Government, entail no risk and
zens.
will enable local farmers to bull
up their places and put them
a position to becofe more pro
porous citizens"
