SWIMMING POOL
COLOR BAR ENDS
IN PANAMA

PANAMA CITY, RIP. - CAMP
Since the construction OF the
Olympic swimming pool in Bella
Vista in 1898, certain Panaman-
ians have been denied the right
to use the utility, chiefly because
of a race ban. But the 12-year-
old policy of discrimination which
barred colored people from using
the pool was lifted last week.
Citizens from the slum district
of Maranon recently petitioned
newly appointed Minister OF Ed
ucation Ricardo j. Bermudez Tor
a pool of their own. In answer to
the petition, Minister Bermudez
lifted the ban on the Bella Vista
pool and announced that the pool
will no longer be restricted to any
particular race of persons of Ger
tain social position or political
and religious utilization.
There were indications howev-
er, that another pool may be con-
structed to meet the popular de-
mand of residents in the tene-
ment area of the city. Funds for
the project will come through the
