Mrs. Keller Wins
Right 70 Sue
To Ousf Puulsons

Effort of the attorneys of AL
ice and Silas Paulson to prevent
attorneys for Mrs. Camille Keller
from proceeding with unlawful
detainer proceedings against the
Paulsons failed Sept. IL, when
Judge Frank Reed refused to
grant a permanent restraining
order against Mrs. Keller.
Mrs. Keller purchased a house
at 4544 Third Ave. So, from the
Paulsons May 1. Subsequently,
when neighbors of the Paulsons
discovered Mrs. Keller had Negro
blood the Paulsons decided to re-
main in the house.
They brought suit charging
fraud and Mrs. Keller's attor-
neys, assisted by attorneys secur-
ed by the NAACP, went into dis.
trict court on a demurrer TO the
suit which was granted by Judge
Theodore Knudson.
Judge Knudson's decision open
ed the way for Mrs. Keller to go
into municipal court and ask 1t
to order the home she purchased,
turned over to her.
The Paulsons met defeat again
when Judge Reed ruled against
their request for a permanent re-
straining order keeping Mrs. KEEL
Ter from proceeding with her ac-
ton.
The unlawful detainer action
will be argued on Sept. 20, in the
Minneapolis Municipal court.
Meantime the Paulsons are still
occupying the home which they
sold to Mrs. Keller for the reput-
ed sum of $4,000.

fusing to admit a IS year old
Negro lad. Robert Baker. to the
public beach which he operates.
Young Baker and three white
youths, all state charges, had
been taken on an outing and pic
mic by Jack Simos OF the state
children's welfare bureau. All Of
the youngsters live In a state
home.
The four boys and their advis-
or stopped at the Twin Lakes
beach, took their lunches and
bathing suits and approached the
beach entrance. There, 10 year old
Baker, who was given the admis-
sion fees for the boys by Simos,
was refused admission and told
that "colored boys are not allow
ed on the beach"
Young Baker turned to his
companions, ne testified In NUM-
cipal court, Sept. IA, and suggest
ed they go on in and that he
would return to the home.
All three boys demurred and
said they wouldn't go in the place
unless Baker could go. BY that
time, Simos, who had been lock-
ing the car approached. When he
was informed what had happened
he demonstrated with Engberg
and reminded him he was violat-
ing a state law.
Simos testified Engberg said
he didn't care anything about the
law and that simos could report
him IL he wanted TO. The four
youngsters and Mr.. Simos went
back to the auto and the beach
picnic was finally held at Min
neapolis beach.
Simos reported the matter to
Clifford e. Rucker of the Cover
nors Interracial Committee. He,
in turn, informed the county at
torney Michael Dillon. After con-
ferences, charges were preferred
and Engberg was arrested and
later placed under a $500 bond
for appearance in court for q

His counsefs motion for dis
missal based on the premise that
Twin Lakes Beach was not a

MED by Judge Anderson.
