Insurance Firm Seeks To
Gust Tenants Who Worked
For NeqroeS In Project

New York - (ANP) - The
Metropolitan Life Insurance COM
pany last week took its suit to
court to Dust 81 tenants from its
projects. These tenants claim they
are being put out because they
worked for the admittance Of Ne
groes to the Stupvesant Town and
Peter Cooper Village projects of
the insurance firm.
Metropolitan told the court it
had the right to refuse to renew
leases to its tenants. Their leases
expired last Sept. 80. Originally
80 tenants were involved, but two
have moved out. All tenants were
members Of the Town and Village
Committee to End Discrimination
in Stuyvesant Town.
Only one case, involving Will
liam D. and Anna s. Berg is being
tried. Attorneys for both sides
have agreed that this case will de-
termine the actions of all tenants
involved. In the first day Of the
case, the fact that DR.. Lee Torch
did allow a Negro family, that Of
Hardine Hendrix, to live in his
home as a guest was brought out.
Metropolitan did not allow Ne
groes to live in its project, Stuy-
vesant Town, although it pur-
chased the land with the aid of
public funds and has a $50, 1000, 900
tax exemption for % years. This
exemption is partial.
The case is being tried in the

court before Justice George L.

Bids Asked on Bay Bridge
Administration BuiIdinu
By the Asseeiofsd Press

BALTIMORE. Aug. 16.-The
State Roads Commission got down
to minor details on the Chesa-

on construction of the admins

toll collection equipment.
The same contract includes con-
struction of a water treatment

committee.
The IL Baltimore youngsters
scheduled to go to the camps are
being sponsored by the Maryland
Heart Association, which has no
camp facilities of it's own. One
Baltimore camper, James Pleas
ant, 8, who got up at S o'clock
to start the trip here, will have
to sit it out for a while at home,
on doctors orders. Jimmy got as
far as the hospital - without
breakfast-and then came down
with an upset stomach. He may
go to the camp later If all goes
well at home for a few days. He
took the bad news like a man.
The program at the camps in
lcludes eXtra-long rest periods
early bedtimes, special rules for
games that require running, and
walks through the woods at
carefully led slow pace.
All of this is fun, the campers
agreed. But the most important
thing, one penetrating 11-year-
old said, is that "for once we're
all the same together" There
won't be anything different"
about child who can't run or
who mustn't get excited.
