ROCKEFELLER And TOBIAS Say. r~
Race Bias Hurts US. Overseas

CLEVELAND - (ANP)-Two
world travellers Winthrop
Rockefeller and DR.. Claiming H.
Tobias - this week accused ad-
vocates of racial prejudice and
violence with hurting Americas
chances of winning sorely needed
friends throughout the world.
AddreSsing the 1852 convention
of the National Urban league,
Rockefeller said racial segrega-
ton tops the list Of questions ask
ed by foreign newspapermen Wis
iting this country. The grandson
of John D. Rockefeller heads the
leagues Commerce and Industrial
Council.
He had high praise for the II
states and Is cities with Fair
Employment claws. 81 don't want
to make a political Speech" he
said, "but we've heard lot from
the government about FEPC. We
should demand that the govern
ment practice what it breaches"
Earlier, in a nationwide broad
cast, DR.. Tobias, delegate to the
United Nations General Assemb-
ly in Paris, told the convention
he had been depressed by ten
dency on the part of many
people" to play down civil rights.
He charged both political parties
with constructing "skillfully de-
vised evasions" in their civil
rights planks that mean "all
things to all men," This may be
good politics, he said, "but it is
poor craftsmanship"
While praising the attitudes of
some Americans, Tobias said race
hatred and mob violence is "prov-
ing a source of embarrassment
and a handicap" to our govern
ment's every effort in foreign
lands. He said the UN's Paris
meeting "resounded with the re-
cital of recent racial violence in
America"

the new skirts. Whether a slim
hanging sheath of pleats, or a
circular flare, most of the "middy
fashion" skirts have a moulded
hipline, either to 60 under an
-overblouse, or with detail to es-
tablish the hipline as the halting
point for the wandering waist
lines. There seems to be quite
a rash of waist bands which look
like the skirts own belts-suedes
or rib knit for example, giving a
costume finish.
Decorator" skirts are strong
this year. They are made of all
kinds unexpected materials, and
in expected effects. The "feel the
eye" felts made to look like a
chest of drawers with shadowed
drawer pulls are an example. The
successor to the quilt skirt of last
year is the embroidered and
quilted skirt, with much more
emphasis on patterned and color
ed stitchings than the waffle pat
termed quilts of last year.
The blouse furnishes the cos
tune tdbch in separates. It's char
acter has changed from the clas-
sic to the contrived; it is design
ed to give moulded torse line
with full skirts, or to carry out
the easy, loose MILDLY line with
slim skirts.

Hello there! Having costume
trouble? Those of you who have
not fully decided on just what
your first fail outfit will be, will
find consolation in the purchase
of a good transition dress to wear
now while making up your mind.
A good transition dress is one
that can be worn now while the
weather is still warm can still
carry you through the fall. High
lights in that field are dark cot
tons in broadcloths or in cotton
tweeds and plaids. Black is an
other color. Gray, navy and some
brown are also preferred.
A report from the buyers" in
most of the stores say that the
failles should be high on the re-
quest list. Black is the dominant
color, with grays, blues and
browns not far behind. You will
find them in two piece versions
with slim skirts, nodded jackets
with hipline and pocket detail.
These are perfect for daytime
wear and can be dressed up for
after five. Coat dresses in failles
are also big, these mainly with
full easy skirts, three-quarter
length push up sleeves.
Slubbed rayons, especially color
flecked fabrics giving a tweedy
effect also register for fall and
are slanted to transition wear.
Gray is a standout in this fabric,

Good Morning Judge
News and Views from Miam's Municipal Negro Court
JUDGE L. E. THOMAS PRESIDING
BY ELLIOTT PIEzE,

Not exactly a record for a
Monday session but total of SO
cases was listed for trial in Judge
L. E. Thomas Municipal Court
this Monday morning. In absence
of the regular Bailiff, Patrolman
Clyde Lee, Patrolman Mcdowell
served for the day. Court Clerk
Forest Reynolds was kept busy
as usual, collecting fines from de-
PENDANTS who paid their way out
and filing away the dockets on all
of the cases on trial. The little
courtroom was jammed with an
ever capacity crowd of spectators
most of whom remained through
out the entire long but very in
teresting session.
The days docket was jammed
with cases which may be CLASH
fled as highlight trials of the SEES
sion, but chief among these was
one Of the several cases coming
from the Coconut Grove section
IF the CITY. This one was that Of
Willie Foster, who was charged
with assault and battery on his
wife, Verna Mae. Foster was also
charged with assault and battery
on his sister-in-law, Thelma Nc
Leod, and with illegal possession
# lottery ticket. Testimony dur
ing the hearing revealed the fact
that some difficulty had arose be-
tween Foster and his wife over
the wife's alleged friendliness
wi'h another man known as Rob-
inson. Foster told the court that
he had on several occasions told
his wife to stay out of other mems
cars, but that on last Tuesday
morning he caught her in the car
with Robinson. when she claim
ed that he (Robinson) was only
taking her to work. Foster fur
Their explained that he ordered
his wife out Robinson's car, and
that afterwards, Robinson drove
off in a different direction. Foster
aid that this incident led to a
number of other disturbances,
which resulted in his being ar
rested on the charges stated.
The sister-in-law charged that
her sister, Mrs. Foster, telephoned
her that Foster had beaten their
baby very severely and that he
was threatening her. Upon arrival
at the Foster home, she added,
Foster also threatened her to the
extent that he hit her several
times and ordered her out of
their house. Mrs. Foster also
charged that her husband had hit
several times, forcing her to run
for safety away from their home.
Foster, however, denied that he
had hit either his wife or sister,
in-law, but instead, he charged
that his in-laws had actually hit
him several times in his own
home. He admitted that he did
spank their baby on the occasion
but only because the child was
itself.
Judge Thomas gave a rather
fatherly talk to the entire family
and the in-laws. He advised the
wife to stay out of other mems
cars, as reported by her husband.
He cautioned the in-laws to stay
home and mind their own bust
ness, when difficulties arise be-
tween Foster and his wife. Fin

ally he admonished Foster to not
brutalize his child. The Judge
then gave Foster suspended SEN
tence on the two charges of as
Sault and battery, and fined him
$40 or 4 days. on the charge of
illegal possession of lottery
ticket.
Another very shocking case,
which captured the attention of
many of the spectators in the
courtroom, was that of a married
woman and Robert Flowers, who
were charged with lewd and la
civious behaviour. Testimony in
the case, as presented by Officer
Miles disclosed the fact that
Flowers and the woman, who are
not married to each other were
caugh. behind closed doors in
rooming in a house on NV End
Place. The officer explained to
the court that the woman's hus-
band had told him that she was
in his house in question, under
lllCSd1 I'll lllllS ~ pun
rival at the house, the officer
said, the front door was locked,
but they entered through the
back door, which was closed but
unlocked. The officer explained
further that the house was in
complete darkness, but that he
could hear voices coming from the
middle room. Shining his light
through hole in the door to the
middle room, he clearly observed
the couple in bed. The officer ex-
planned further that he arrested
the couple.
But Judge Thomas ruled that
the officers, who did not have a
warrant to enter the house in
question, made an illegal entry,
and an unlawful search and Sci
zure. The judge dismissed both of
the defendants because of the un-
lawful search and seizure.
Among other cases heard and
disposed of were the following:
Ronald Mcintosh, Lee Ara
Johnson, Harold Newton, Charles
Capers, Richard Hall, Silas Riv-
ers, Robert Nottage, Annie Frazier
and Henry Minor, were each
charged with assault and battery.
Mcintosh was charged with as
sault and battery on jeanette
Williams and James Smith; John
son on Elnora Ambrose, Newton
ON Albertha Dorsey, Capers on
Evelyn Hall, Hall on Fannie
Simmons, Rivers on Thomas Den,
and Matthew Powell; Nottage on
John Mackey, Frazier on Isiah
Gardner and Minon also on ISaih
Gardner. Mcintosh, who was also
charged with malicious mischief
with the property of James Smith,
was fined SIS or 80 days, Newton
also charged win being drunk and
with malicious mischief, with the
property of Albertha Dorsey, was
fined $40 or Is days on the three
charges combined. Hall, also
charged with malicious mischief
with the property of Fannie
Simmons, and with resisting ar
rest and escaping from custody
before being tried, was fined
total of $10O or 40 days in jail;

drunk and -disorderly conduct
was fined $50 or 20 days; Nottage
