The facts are that restrictive
racial policy of employment has
been implicit in the conduct of the
respondent since its beginning,
that such conduct has been and is
admitted by official representa-
tive or respondent, that said policy
is well known and that in con-
formity Herewith at least 25 and
possibly more personnel have been
hired in the Boston district to be
employed as conductors, porters or
attendants since 1949.
1T is apparent that such re-
strictive policy of employment
continues to be maintained in this
Commonwealth at the present
time, and this Commission cannot
wait for a specific denial OF op-
portunity to an individual under
the circumstances before it must
seek to eliminate this unlawful
employment conduct"

Jim Crow Public
Housing outIowed
In Detroit, Mich.

Detroit segregation in public
housing in Detroit was prohibit
ed last week by a federal court
order. In his order, which rules
that the separate but equap
doctrine has no place in public
housing. Judge Arthur F. Lederle
of the u. s. District Court for
Eastern Michigan, ordered the
Detroit Housing Commission to
put an end TO it's Jim Crow hous-
ing policy and open all of its units
to everybody regardless of race or
color.
The order was issued in a suit
against the Detroit Housing Com
mission filed June 8, 1850 by at
torneys for NAACP Legal De-
fense and Educational Fund and
attorneys for the Detroit Branch.
II asked the court TO issue per
manent injunction enioining the
housing authorities from discrim-
mating against Negroes.

His remarks followed similar

Moral Weight
In talks with Presbyterian Of

ficlals in Richmond, Va, and with
Southern Baptist and Methodist
spokeBmen. in Nashville. Tenn,
this correspondent has found that
great hope is placed in the moral
weight the official positions OF the
church will carry.
II is freely acknowledged by
these spokesmen that many
churches In areas with large Me-
gro populations are not expected
TO do much at first toward deseg-
regation, but they expect that the
official resolutions viii give
strength TO the ministers support
Of the Supreme Courts decision
before their congregations.
II is hoped by tho officials that
the churches viii furnish leader

the eventual Christian ideal OF
opening the church doors to all

An example OF some OF the
sentiments being expressed in
these southern church sessions is
seen in the words OF Bishop Wat
kins. Speaking at the closing SEES

Miss Margaret Brown, u. s. A.,
showed Her Majesty Queen
Mother Elizabeth of England
through the Smithsonian Insti-

The royal visitor accompa-
MED by her hostess, Mrs. Eisen-
hover. entered the museum to
cheers of the sixth grade stu
dents of Cherrydale public school
in Arlington.
In her soft voice which has
Slight Scottish accent, the
gracious Queen exclaimed over
the inaugural gowns of Anleri-
cas- first ladies.
Feminine Remarks
The remarks were typically
feminine: That's terribly pref
ty." Don't you adore the cord
on that frock? why. that mate
rial would stand by itself"
The two ladies paused in front
of Mrs. Eisenhower wedding
dress, as we'll as a costume be-
longing to Queen Victoria. While
viewing the former. Her Majesty
said, 1T must be quite amazing
to look at ones wedding dress,
don't you Think" Mrs. Eisen-
hover said that she had run
across the brooch that she wore
with the dress the other day
and would send it down to the
museum.
The Queen and Mrs. Eisen-
hover must have planned their
costumes together SO perfect was
the contrast. Her Majesty wore
a gray wool dress, an emerald
green velveteen coat and hat, a
mink stole, long gray gloves and
high heeled gray patent leather
shoes. Mrs. Eisenhower was in
a raspberry suit with black fur
stole, black hat and shoes.
Queens Jewelry
The jewelry worn by the Queen
was certainly fit for a Queen
three strands of pearls, each
stone the size of a marble, a
large diamond and emerald floral
pin on her lapel, and a wide dia-
mond bracelet.
The arrival of the party at
the National Gallery of Art right
after was about 20 minutes be-
fore they were expected. 1t was
obvious by her majesty's enthu-
siasm that she was enjoying
every minute of it. She has a
collection of her own, and partic-
ularly likes to purchase paint
ings from young unknown artists.
The painting of "St. George
and the Dragon" by Raphael,
and one of the finest in the GAL
lery. caught the eye of the Queen.
st. George is the patron saint of
