Duel Threatens
AS Ballet Opens

PARIS. Mar. % (P.-The
Malquis De Cuevas' new ballet
opened here last night but an
offstage threat of a duel nearly
stole the show.
1t all began when De Cuevas,
Chilean-born grandson-in-law
of John D. Rockefeller, was
warned by the Society of Dra-
matte Authors that his troupe
was forbidden to dance the
BLACK and White" ballet by
Serge Lifar, one-time friend and
former ballet master at the
Paris Opera.
Mr. De Cuevas ignored the
warning, and at intermisSion
in the Champs Elysee Theater
Mr.. Lifar Strolled by and
dropped his handkerchief in
front of the marquis. The lat
tel promptly picked it up and
flung it in Mr.. Liars face.
In days of old this meant a
duel. A few minutes later Mr.
Liar, So. announced he was
sending his seconds to see the
66-year-old marquis.
Dueling is outlawed in
France, however, and many
seconds have been sent on sim
liar missions in the heat of
argument without producing
anv fighting. There was no
indication that a duel would
develop this time.

Group
Refuses to
Stop Boycott

A Negro clergymen's group
has refused to cancel plans for
a boycott Of Washington de-
partment stores next Thursday,
despite intervention by the Dis
trict Commissioners.
Commissioner Robert E. Nc
Laughlin yesterday urged the
group Of ministers to submit
complaints about department
store employment policies to a
new human relations council
which the Commissioners ex-
pect to form soon.
The Rev. E. Franklin jackson
Of John Wesley A. M. E. Zion
Church. Fourteenth and Cor
coran streets NV, leader of
the ministerial group, said the
proposal was rejected, however.
Mr.. Jackson and three other
clergymen met with Mr.. Nc
Laughlin and Commissioner
David B. Karrick at Mr.. Nc
Laughlin'S request.
The Negro group told the two
Commissioners they felt it
necessary to make a public
demonstration against alleged
refusal of department stores
to employ Negro sales clerks.
Mr.. Jackson told reporters he
would be willing to see the en-
ployment differences referred to
the new human relations coun-
Gil later. But he said he felt
1t would not be satisfactory to
put the current question Into
hands of an unborn body"
The Commissioners approved
the human relations council
plan, drafted by a special COM
mittee, "in principle" on Thurs
day. Mr.. Mclaughlin did not
indicate just when the nine
member body actually will be
formed. The council plan, in
preparation for some months.
