ly, He was inviting them to
a private showing Of the
Truman Library on a Sunday
morning when it is closed to
the public.
The comedian and CORE
spondent hotfooted it out to
Independence the next day
and the ex-President took
. them on q highly instructive
tour that left Mr.. Benny too
impressed to wisecrack. He
did wish for his violin,

If only every schoolchild
could visit the library, he
would know what the presi-

But what really threw Mr..
Benny was his visit to the
Trumans' home afterwards.
Mrs. Truman said she
would ask Jack and Esther to
stay for lunch except she had
no cook, hadn't had one, in
fact, since Vietta, who was
with them nigh on to 30 years,
retired. She only returns to
the kitchen. said Mrs. T.,
when Margaret and the baby
show up.
Then the former First Lady
told them how Mr.. Truman
had surprised her that morn
ing by getting up and doing
the dishes left over from the
night before and also putting
the coffee on before she got
downstairs.
On the way to the airport
Jack mulled over the SIM

said to Esther, "of all the

Court Bars Suing Cafes
For Race Bios Here

Night club, hotel or restau-
rant owners cannot be sued for
violating District ordinances
which ban discrimination, the
Municipal Court Of Appeals
ruled yesterday.
The decision denied an ap-
peal by Mrs. Richard H. Tynes
of ITO Fifteenth street NE,
who had sued Mrs. Pandora P.
GogoS, operator of the Moulin
Rouge, 407 Eleventh street
NV, for $4,000. Mrs. Tynes,
who is white, had charged that
an employee of the restaurant
and dance hall prevented her
and her Negro husband from
dancing.
The appellate court upheld a
verdict last fall by Chief Judge
Leonard P. Walsh that the city's
ordinances of 1869 and 1873,
which prohibit discrimination
in public places, are limited to
police regulation. They are
penal in character and do
not give rise to a civil action
for damages" the appellate
opinion by Chief Judge Leo A.
Rover held.
Mrs. Tynes' suit had charged
she suffered humiliation and
embarrassment on November
l22. 1856, when she and her hus-
band we're told mixed dane

Gogos' attorney said a waitress
had stopped the couple because

nanceS which permit civil

wiser for the city NAACP Youth
Council.
Mrs. Luper is supervising a
drive by Negro children to win
for their race the right to be
served with whites at reStau-
rants and fountains in the city.
The movement has met with
partial success already, and
Mrs. Luper is confident bust
nesses throughout the city will
accept Negroes in the near
future.

Oklahoma City is ready for

getting plenty of white support.

will hurt their business to serve
Negroes. But they're wrong,
and we hope to show them
that"
The Negro youths started

tain in the downtown Katz
