Inside a visitor can size it all
up quickly. There isn't much to
see-two desks, four chairs, a
typewriter. two telephones, but
about all that will fit into

telephones a trim young man is
winding up a conversation.
That was the telephone COM

the visitor. They want $125

is the prime mover in the
organization which got its
charter December ID in Delaware
and now is beginning to branch
out. How far has it branched?

reasons not to announce our

is the answer. mo matter
where the 50,000th member lives,
we're bringing him here as our
guest for a week."
II can say our membership has
more than doubled since we an
nounced 5000 January 10. and
that most of these members are
in the Washington area"
Why does Mr.. Bowles think
white people need advancing?
I'VE feel that organized mi
norities have chiseled away at
the white mans way of life so
successfully it now becomes
necessary for him to have an
organized voice of his own
Dues Reduced to So.
Mr.. Bowles tells you the orig
inal membership fee and annual
dues of IS, and 81 for each addi-
tional family member, have been
reduced to a straight So; that
two or three people drop into
the Office each day requesting
speaking engagements; that the
association discontinued mail
solicitation because of the prog
ress it was making with personal
contacts.
He tells you his not-too-modest
membership goal of 10 million

already temporary offices are es-

Ruling Opening
D. {. Hotels 10
NegroesWaited
Anti-Segreeotionists
Pin Hopes on Latest
Appellate Decision

A score of anti-segregation or
CARNATIONS today were expecting
an announcement by the Dis
trict Government that hotels
cannot legally bar sleeping quar-
tiers to well-behaved Negroes.
The basis for the expected an
nouncement, a spokesman for
one of the groups said. is an
opinion handed down by the
U. S. Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia.
The opinion held that. with
respect to restaurants, the 1873
Act repealed that of 1872. :"
The 1873 Act made it unlawful
for restaurants. among other
places. to refuse to serve any
well-behaved person. But the
1873 Act did not mention hotels.
barber shops or bathing houses.
Mentioned in 1872 Act.
The 1872 Act did include these
categories. along with restau-
rants and bars. in forbidding dis
elimination against Negroes.
Penalties under the 1872 Act
were lighter than those specified
in the later act.
Commissioner Samuel Spencer
said last night the opinion was
under study and that well de-
eide shortly what We'll do"
Phineas Indritz. national coun-
sci for the American Veterans
Committee, adopted the view
that, by specifying restaurants
as coming under the 1873 Act.
the court implied the 1872 Act
is valid insofar as hotels and
other businesses named in the
act are concerned.
If the 1872 Act had been re-
pealed in its entirety by the
1873 Act, the court would have
said So" Mr.. Indritz declared.
Waited for Decision.
He said the Commissioners
were approached last autumn by
some score of organizations and
urged to announce that the 1872
Act banning discrimination in
hotels would be enforced.
At that time, he said the Com
missioners decided to wait until
the appellate court acted on the
issue of whether the 1873 Act
repealed the earlier one.
The appellate opinion on Mon
day was another involving the
Thompson Restaurant race dis
elimination case, which resulted
last year in the Supreme Courts
holding that restaurants must
serve Negroes.
The high court upheld the
validity of the 1873 laws and re-
manded to the appellate court
the question of whether the
1872 Act had been repealed.
Limited Ruling Possible.
1t was this issue the appellate
court acted on in its latest
opinion. A possibility exists that
the appeals court ruled only on
the restaurant issue, since it was
a restaurant case that was be-
fore it.
Oddly, the Thompson case.
which got up to the Supreme
Court. is still awaiting trial on
the merits of the case in Mu-
nicipal Court, where it started.
The lengthy litigation began
when complaint that the restau-
rant had violated laws by re-
fusing to serve Negroes was
thrown out upon motion of at
torneys for the restaurant. The
entire case had not been heard
on its merits, and so trial is still
pending.
Some lawyers expressed the
opinion that test case involving
hotels would be necessary before
clean-cut decision on the ap-
plicability of the 1872 act could
be gained.

considerate. Not only for their own
good = but for their wives. We
may not be living in caves any
more, but the cave is still alive in
US. When a man seeks love by
demeaning himself. becoming the
butt-of-all-jokes and the maid-of-

ing love through strength - his
wife loses respect. No matter how
sweetly she may thank him for

they're afraid to stand up to their
own wives how can they stand up
