u. S. Judge Angered
By MiSfFeofmenf Of
Man And Family
Angry Judge Tells Officials
Better Make Sure Negro
Family Is Allowed To Move
Into Apartment"

Chicago CANP) 49, U. S. Dis
trict Judge John p. Barnes man.
aged with a great deal of effort to
contain himself here Tuesday
when delivering his opinion on the
case involving the refusal of
Cicero township officials to allow
a Negro family to move into an
apartment in that suburb. How
ever, he made it quite clear that
the town officials had better
make sure the family is allowed
to move into the apartment"
Pounding his gavel, the jurist
issued a preliminary injunction re-
straining the town from prevent
ing Harvey Clark Jr., 20, CTA
employee, his wife, Johnetta, 26,
and their two children from NOV
ing into a five-room apartment
which they rented for $50 a
month.
In ordering the injunction, the
Judge said, '1f you don't obey the
order, you're going to be in serious
trouble"
The Clarks rented the apart
ment from Charles Edwards,
manager of the building which
has Is units. There are no Negroes
living in Cicero or the adjoining
suburb of Berwyn.
When the family sought to
move in, they were halted by Cic-
ero policemen and at the instiga-
ton of the police chief, were kick
ed, beaten and threatened with
loss of life if they attempted to re-
turn. In retaliation. they filed a
100000 damage suit against the
town.
Representing the Clarks was
Atty. George N. Leighton, who
told the court that Cicero had
thrown a police Gordon around the
building, SOLELY because they do
not want Negroes to move in"
The defense argued, however, that
all accusations had been denied
by town officials.
The judge interviewed and gave
the defense a piece of his mind.
He said, TIL tell you what you
are going to do. You are going TO
exercise the same diligence in see
ing that these people move in as
you did in trying to keep them
out"
He was interrupted at this
point by the defense attorney,
who said there had been some
trouble about the ownership of the
building"
However, Judge Barnes replied,
You don't need to worry about
who the owners are. From now on,
you are going to treat these peo-
pie like anybody else"
The order restraints the town,
it's president, police chief and
other officials and agents from
shooting, beating and otherwise
harrassing" the Clarks.
A hearing on a permanent in
junction was set for Sept. II, at
which time the damage claim will
also be acted upon. Meanwhile a
500 bond was set against the
town.

SdYs Duck Hunting
Outlook Is Good

Success in carry or native
Montana duck hunting this fall
is predicted by Wynn Freeman,
state waterfowl biologist.
Freeman, who recently COM
pleted a visit to northeastern
Montana, said the breeding
duck population this spring was
a maximum of 9 per cent down
from last year, but a good
spring, with larger individual
broods and more broods than
a year ago have brought up the
duck outlook.
The southeastern water sit
uation was bad this spring, he
said, but now lakes and pot
holes have plenty of water,
Early broods of mallards and
pitfalls are taking wing now
and can move locally to new
water if they have to. However,

on July LIST, the veteran may
expect a check by about the
first of October.
Veterans who have any queS-
lions about their dividend, after
they receive their checks,
should write to the VA district
Office handling their insurance
account. In the Pacific North
west, veterans should mail their
dividend inquiries to the VA
District Office, Exchange Build

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Now and then veterans come in
for cars which they claim are
essential to their jobs, and they
ask how they can go about get

purchases. What should I tell
them?
A. You should tell the vet
Grams first to find a lender and

terms of the loan. Generally,
the lenders are able to handle
the entire process, so that vet
Grams need not visit their VA
offices. It should be emphasized,
however, that the VA cannot
approve car loans unless the
auto is essential to the conduct
of the veterans business.

action in adopting the Douglas
leave amendment, which would cut
Federal employees annual leave to

Committee will begin hearings
Wednesday on legislation to place
leave on a graduated scale based

The committee hopes to wind

applies only for the fiscal year
