If Larsen hasn't been the de.

Larsen pitched a one-hitter in

walked four and was in so much
trouble that Stengel lifted him

Seeks Griffith
Terms toCity

The Board of Trade hoped to
get the ball rolling today in a
drive to keep the Senators from
transferring their American
League franchise to California
or some other location.

the Washington Baseball Club.

arrival from New York, that the
situation is unchanged since his
announcement earlier in the
week that he is willing to listen
to any offers, locally or from
other cities.
Things are status quo," CAL
vim said.
The Senators boss said an
unnamed Texas city had Joined
Los Angeles and Louisville in
bidding for the franchise, but in
the next breath he admitted that
it would not be seriously con-
sidered.
John Hayes, general manager
OF WTOP who had a luncheon
date with Griffith today, was
expected to sound out the base
ball executive about what would
be required to keep the team
here.

could be held Monday or Tues

time had not been set.
Griffith said it is possible to
make a move before next season

18th Amendment Most Forward Step
In Human Relations in u. S. Thomas

"The 18th Amendment is the
most forward step in human re-
lationS in the United States-all
other things come after. The next
greatest forward step in human
relations in this country are the
: various decisions on desegrega-
ton rendered by the United States
Supreme Court in the year OF
1854" Those are only two of the
many fiery statements made Sun
day afternoon at Mt. Zion Bap-
fist Church. The speaker at this
time was Judge L. E. Thomas,
president of the King of Clubs,
Inc. OF Miami, and the occasion
was program number 5, in the
current 26th annual winter forum
series being sponsored by the
King of Clubs. Another large
crowd was present to witness the
occasion.
Speaking upon the topic of "In-
cidents Pro and Con-, under the
forums general theme of 1.-THE
Forward Look in Human Rela-
tons" Judge Thomas, among 9th
er things, quoted Chief Justice of
the United State Supreme Court,
the Hon. Earl Warren, who said
on the occasion of the rendition
of its historic decision on deseg-
regation, segregation will do ir-
reparable damage to the Negro
that will never be healed"
The judge named the states of
Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mis-
SiSSR2pi, Louisiana and Florida as
the states which are doing little or
nothing about deSegregation. Bat
he particularly emphasized the
fact that five of those states, in
Guiding Virginia, South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama and MisSissip-
pi, are especially backward in
their attitudes, reactionary and
going to be the most difficult ones
to bring into line.
The speaker also dashed out at
the state of Florida and especial
ly the members of the state board
of control for their actions in the
case of Virgil Hawkins, a Day
tona Beach Negro who has ap-
piled for admission to the Uni
verSity of Florida Law School,
and who in effect, is being given
the "run-around" by the Board
of Control and other state Off
Gals.

siderable amount of reprimand for

other disorders. eve, as a race"
said the judge, land especially our
young peo- lie, are too loud and too
noisy in general"
The King of Clubs president
pointed that he personally made
a comparative study of loudneSs
of White and Negro young people.
He learned very convincingly
that Negroes are unnecessarily
loud, while the Whites are vir-
tually calm and quiet. These"
continued the speaker, "are some
of the things that make us know
that we are not ready. No we, as
a race, are not ready. But Wen
