New York amp Attorney
General Nathaniel l.. Goldstein.
filed q five-page summons COM
plant in Supreme court here We'd
nesday, asking q permanent in
junction against the 66-year old
American Bowling Congress. both
on anti determination and corpor-
ate grounds.
The attorney general wants TO
Gust the ABC from the state per-
manently as long a. membership
is restricted TO individuals OF the
white male sex"
Copies Of the complaint were
served on James Wilson. ARC
treasurer and . past preaidcnt,
at his homo, giving the ABC 20
days In which % answer the
uult.
In his complaint, the attorney
general accused the organisation
Of barring an an-Negro American
legion team from n tournament
In Buffalo last year. On corporate
grounds. he states that the ABC
has never obtained n certificate OF
authority from the State secretary
to operate here.
The New York office OF the
congress, which u an Illinois cor
poration, Is located at l776 Broad
way.
Section I, article 3 of the Or
ganiLatiOn's constitution says,
city associations shall be compos-
ed of teams with a membership Of
three or more individuals of the
white male sex who are members
Of a league or leagues bowling the
game of American ten pins. This
section Is being cited by the state.
The suit also adds that the
congress has restricted entries
In New York tournaments 90
whites only. and has penAIIEed
New York leagues which admit
Negroes through lose or rep.
resentAtiOn, IneIiGibIlty TO office
or suspension and expulSlOn."
This Is the first time such &C
ton has been taken by q state
against the ABC, but n similar
fight Is now being waged by the
congreas in the courts to save its
Illinois charter. States Attorney
william Boyle Of Cook County IN
Illinois has already filed a suit
in that county asking for the re-
voking Of the charter following

Last March. the Clio picketed
the ABCs convention in Atlantic
city. and the New Jersey division
Against Discrimination announced
four months later. that II will
resist every effort on the part Of
this organization TO hold future
tournaments in this state"
In violating the states General
Corporation law, Coldstein added
that ABC's activities are "detri.
mental to and imperil the welfare
and morals Of the people Of the
state Of New York 10 the immin.
ent and irreparable injury Of the
people" He pointed out that the
state constitution forbids discrim.
