Greek Ship Nosed Out
By Greentree Colt in
QUESTIONABLE Cap
By the Assecioted Press

NEW YORK, July Screen
tree Stables One Hitter won the
$25. .000-added QUESTIONABLE Han
dicap at Jamaica today and set a
track record for a mile-and- one
sixteenth.
One Hitter, an outsider with a
mediocre career behind him, re-
sponded to Jockey Ted Atkinson
and beat out Brookmeade Stables
Greek Ship by a nose in 1:4225.
This was one-fifth of a second
faster than the old mark set by
Sting back in 1925.
1t was One Hitter's first stake
triumph in three years, and his
second purse in 10 starts during
the present campaign.
Those in the crowd of $4,000
who backed the four-year son
of Shut Out-Bold Anna were re-
warded with a. return of $17.20,
$7.1O and $3.50 across the board.
Greek Ship paid $500 and $3.50,
while Piet, the favorite, paid
$2.40 to show.
One Hitter did not get into the
race until the top of the stretch
At the start, Escador, then Dali
quart, cut out a fast pace. Going
into the stretch, Atkinson moved
his mount into second place be-
hind Greek Ship.
Through the stretch, it appeared
that Greek Ship, piloted by He'd
ley Woodhouse, would hold One
Hitter off, but the Greentree colt
made his final lunge just before
the wire to grab off the $20,050 |
purse.
Piet was about a length back of |
Greek Ship. I. j. Collins Murano,
an Argentine import, who has
been racing well, looked like a |
threat at the final turn, but could |
do no better than fourth.

Negro Firemen
Win Suit

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (ANP)-
Negro firemen barred from the
white Brotherhood Of Locomotive
Firemen and Enginemen won a
seniority rights suit here last
week when Federal Judge Clar-
ence Mullins ruled against a con-
tract between the union and the
Gulf, Mobile and Ohio railroad.
Judge Mullins said the present
contract does not properly repre-
sent the Negro firemen.
The case reached the federal
court when three firemen sued
both the railroad and the union
charging that they had been de-
MED their seniority rights by
being c1assed as "unpromotable"
in the agreement. Under this class
ification they were not eligible
for promotion from fireman to
engineer.
| In his ruling the judge indicat-
| ed he would enjoin the union from
enforcing its present contract "in-
| solar as it deprives Negro rail-
road firemen of their seniority
| rights" Judge Mullins added that
| he was not satisfied as to whether
or not the railroad was involved
in any conspiracy as charged.

Although the U. S. Supreme
court decided against the white

forts to prevent Negroes from

maries, the only decisive election
in the South.
While segregation was outlaw

tinued in II other states and the

minaation in public accommoda-

The Ohio daily-express. (Dayton, Ohio) 1946-1950, 1950-04-04

WASHINGTON (ANP)- The
year Of 1949 witnessed a number
of encouraging developments in
the protection and extension OF
civil rights in the United States,
according to the balance sheets
just released by the American
Jewish Congress and the NAACP.
There was not only improved
organization and unity movements
concerned with the fight for
equality, but the courts decided
some favorable victories, and
public officials manifested an in
creasing awareness of their obi
cations to protect and enlarge
the civil rights ofall groups in the
population, the report showed.
The states enacted more civil
rights laws last year then in any
previous year in the nations his
tory. Campaigns for anti-discrim-
ination legislation were conducted
with varying degrees of success
in more then 20 states.
Four states enacted FEPC laws
during the year, bringing the
number of states with effective
legislation against employment in
discrimination to eight. New Jer-
say and Massachusetts, banned
discrimination in colleges, univer-
sites, trade, preparatory and
other schools, while New Jersey
and Connecticut improved the le-
gal procedure for preventing dis
elimination in places of publ: &C.
commodation. Six states prohibit
ed discrimination and segregation
inthe National Guard, while three
mid Western states forbade seq
regation in their public schools.
New York City and San Francis
co enacted ordinances forbidding
discrimination in publicly assisted
housing. An anti-lynching Law was
passed in Texas and an anti-KK-
K-mask law in Alabama. At least
% Southern cities also adopted
anti-mask ordinances.
The civil rights issues We're
kept before the public through
out the year by means of the pub
lie press; the motion picture In
dustry, which produced four i'm
portant and serious pictures deal
ing with various problems facing
Negroes in this country! ans
through the 20 books published
during the year which emphasiz
ed some aspect of group relation
as their theme.
Some Achievements

fight for civil rights for al
groups, a number Of ~communitie

established official and semi-of-
fetal group relations commissions.
A FEPC bill passed the House
of Representatives, although the
more effective McGrath-Powell
bill was defeated.
The passage of the Federal
Housing Act in 1949, which car
ried the promise of improved
housing for minority groups, be-
came law. Although the act was
passed without any provisions bar
ring racial discrimination or seq
regation, the Federal Housing
Administration later announced
it's refusal to insure payment of
mortgages on new housing after
Feb. Is, 1850 if the property was
affected by racial or religious re-
strictive covenants.
Thearmed services substantial
ly improved their treatment of
Negroes. While the army failed to
contemplate ultimate elimination
Of segregation, Negroes and
whites were completely integrated
in many branchs Of the navy and
air forces.
In the 1949 elections over the
country Negro candidates were ell
ected judges, magistrates, state
representatives, city councilmen,
and won other positions.
Two Negroes were elected
justices ofthe peace in Peters
burg, Va, Pittsburgh, Pa, elected
its first Negro tothe city councils
Two Negroes were elected repre-
sntatives in Cincinnati; and a
Negro was elected president of
the Common Council in Maiden,
Mass.
Cong. William l.. Dawson, one
of the two Negro congressman, be-
came chairman of the House Com
mittee on Expenditures in the
Executive department; and Gov.
| William H. HASTE of the Virgin
Islands, was nominated to a
j~udgeship in the Third Circuit
Court of Appeals.
Still Much To Be Achieved
In spite of the advancement
made last year, there is still much
progress to be made. In Georgia
for instance, a voters registration
law was enacted, designed to re.
duce voting by Negroes.
Three Negroes were lynched in
1919 and unsuccessful attempts
were made against Is others
While officials demonstrated ar
increased awareness of their OBJ
legation to prosecute the guilt,
parties still no prosecution result
ed in a conviction.

ANOTHER BAR LET O w


MORE N MORE the bars are being let down, and de-
mocracy is coming into its own as ability and qualification be-
come the prime requisites. AS time goes by, color is becoming
less and less of a barrier. And the latest example of this lower
ing of the bar is the participation of Althea Gibson, a Negro
girl, in the national championship of the United States Lawn
Tennis Association, now being held at Forest Hills.
MISS GIBSON, a New York girl, has been playing top
notch tennis for years, and many of the leading sports writers
long classified he as material fit for the championship. But it
was a question of color, and always the matter of breaking
the ice However, since national sports along other lines had
seen the value of first selecting players on their ability, it was
almost inevitable that tennis would do the same. And the Sc
lection of Miss Gibson proved sound, for in her matches with
Miss Louis Brough of Beverly Hill, Calf, Miss Gibson prov
ed conclusively that she is championship material. Not only
did Miss Gibson win her matches, but the tenacity and skill
were such as pulled the acclaim of the crowded stands, and
the leading sports writers of the nation.
OF COURSE everyone is pulling for Miss Gibson, not
purely on a basis Of color, but because she needs the encour-
agement Of fans, which is so essential to good morale on the
court. Like all other new corners she has to rid herself of but
terflies, and this can be done only by playing and continuing
to play, so that with each game confidence is gained and as
Sured. AS of now she is doing a commercially good job, main
land newspapers indicate, and there is no reason to expect
otherwise.
AS A PART of this great nation it becomes our duty to
help keep the fires Of democracy burning, and this can be
done by continuing to show the visiting tourist that lines can
not be drawn here, and that a man is such, not because of any
racial characteristic, but because he conducts himself as such.
This attitude on the part of Virgin Islanders is shown by put
ting on the statutes books such laws as will nip any attempt
whatever at drawing lines. And we hope that the fears ex-
pressed bymany conttnentas that the tourist trade will even.
tually enSlave us will never be justified.
ATT1OME and on the mainland there is no room in de-
mocracy for lines on any description, and the sooner every
