S2,100,000 damage suit in Feder-
al court, last week against West
chester county officials and two
veterans organizations as a re-
suit of the two Peekskill riots in
l949.
The riots occurred in August
and September, 1949, when Robe
son attempted to give concerts in
Peekskill. The suit was filed
shortly after the second riot and
named among the defendants
George NJ. Fanelli, District At
torney of Westchester County.
The plaintiff, among them
Howard Fast, writer, asked for
amounts ranging from $4,000 to
100000 for personal injuries, as
sault and deprivation of civil
rights.
The defendants then sought to
have the suit dismissed, contend
ing that the Federal court had no
jurisdiction. The court ruled,
however, that it did have juriS-
diction and granted the plaintiffs
the right to a trial. The jurist ac-
ton was based on a decision by
the U. S. court of appeals in CAL
ifornia in a similar case but not
involving left-wing factions.
However, the United States
Supreme court reversed the Cali
fornia decision last June. The
plaintiffs then sought to amend
the original complaint and at the
same time the defendants made
four new motions for dismissal
based on the Supreme court rul-
ing. The four motions were grant

this was Arkansas first set of

Then, former Nevadea county
resident told of quadruplets born
to a family back in 1885, named
Dockery. There were three girls
and a boy.
Unlike many other families,
who have trouble naming their
quads, said the informant, the
DockeryS had little difficulty.
They dubbed them Railroad, Red

IA Negro Banks In

Report Reveals

WASHINGTON - (ANP) -
Not a single Negro operated bank
has failed in the past 10 years.
A financial statement of IA OF
them showed the banks to be in
sound condition, according TO
Business Information Service, Of
ficial publication of the U. S. lR-
partment of Commerce, in a re-
port released last week on the
status of IA Negro banking inSti-
tutions.
This report contains an analy-
sis of the statements of condition
of the institutions and the COM
parative distribution of assets and
liabilities for the years 1948-50.
Affected by the inflationary
trend of our domestic economy,
which was influenced by the bus
mess condition for the year 1850,
the IA Negro banks experienced
a raise of total loans and discounts
to S12,0O0,000. An increase of a
S1.000,000 - 10.17 per cent-be-
yond the 1949 total, this sum con-
stituted almost 40 per cent of the
total bank assets.
During the past five years, in

situation exists among the insti-
tutions included in this report

At the close of l945 their Sc
curity investments totaled $l7,-
100000; during the succeeding
five years their investment port
folio was reduced to $4,000, 900,
a percentage decline of 1885 per
cent.
Despite this reduction, total in
vestment accounts in 1850
amounted to 43.5 per cent of ag-
gregate bank assets - the high
est percentage ratio of any single
asset item. H
A significant feture of the
years operations was the grow
ing volume of assets which in
creased to the highest total of
record - $32,000,0O0, an increase
of $735,510.
In regard to capital accounts
and liabilities, the report shows
he following facts:
Total deposits of $29, 200, 900,
registered a slight increase of 2.12
per cent during the year. The
combined totals of capital ac-
counts - capital stock of $l,400
million, surplus $870,587, undi-
