Low in Delaware
To End Bios Urqed

Representative Diggs. Demo-
crat Of Michigan. today urged
that Delaware adopt a law
against discrimination In res
taurants and similar establish
ments.
Mr.. Digs. a Negro. praised
President Eisenhower for hav-
ing as his breakfast guest yes
terday the Finance Minister Of
Ghana. K. A Gbedemah. The
invitation was prompted by tire
refusal Monday Of a restaurant
in Dover. Del, to serve Mr..
Gbedemah.
But Mr.. Diggs added in a
statement issued through his
office here that "if the Presi-
dent sits down TO eat with every
Negro who is refused service
in an American restaurant. he
may as well move his Office into
his dining room"
Mr.. Gbedemah's experience
Mr.. Diggs said. shows that the
problem Of discrimination is
not confined 10 the deep South
such humiliation is expert
enced frequently by numerous
Negroes in practically every city

TRAFFIC SNARLED
ON MAIN STREETS
BY z PARKED CARS

Two illegally parked cars
this morning slowed down
the traffic flow on two
major District rush. hour
arteries just enough to
create q general showdown
in the Northwest section,
police reported.
The bottleneck was at
Woodley road and Connec-
ticut avenue NV. Eighth
Precinct Police Capt. Daniel
o. Fletcher said a car from
New Jersey parked in the
2700 block Of Connecticut
avenue and a D. c. car in
the $500 block caused the
trouble.
Both had been ticketed
the night before. They
were spotted at 8 am. by a
police cruiser. When traf-
nc began to jam up because
of the unusable lane. they
radioed for a crane at $40
am. While waiting for the
crane. the police car was
sent to a school crossing,
When the crane arrived
at 1855 am. the d. c. car
was gone. They towed
away the New Jersey car
and the traffic flow resumed
unimpeded.

$4,000 TO BUY
AIR CONDITIONERS
FOR D. c. ASKED

The Districts Depart
ment Of Buildings and
Grounds has come up with
a seasonal budget request.
Director James A. Blaser
yesterday asked the Com
misSioners to add $4,000
to the city's $2ll.8 million
budget to buy window air
conditioning units.
Mr., Blaser said workers
in some Of the city'S warmer
offices deluged his Office
with complaints during last
summers hotter weather.
The city's Municipal
Center Office building is
airconditioned. but the
District Building and a
number of other Offices are
not.
The 20 TO 25 units which
would be paid for by the
$4,000 have not yet been
earmarkeds Mr.. Blaser said.
but he said some of them
would probably go to the
Public Utilities Commits
sion.
