New York Tennis
Club Burs Son Of
Dl. Ralph Bunche

Ralph Bunche, il, son Of the
famous Nobel Prize Winner,
was barred from membership
III the West Side Tennis Club
in Forest Hills, New York.
Wilfred Burglund, president
Of the Club told Dr. Bunche
that neither Negroes or Jews
are permitted membership in
the Club. He said that while
they may play in competitions
held at the club, in so far as
membership goes the club is
Ike q private home to which
you can invite whom you
want.
DR.. Bunche said that this
discrimination, while not near
" 50 serious as many suffered
BY Negroes, flows from the
same wells Of racial and reli-
gious bigotry. No Negro Ameri
can can be truly free, he said,
until discrimination IS wiped
out He added: ! am, in fact,
glad to have this unpleasant
but necessary lesson made real
ii this way to my SON.

Price Rise Seen
Fucino Consumers

NEW YORK, July Z (AP).-
Consumers will pay more this
fall for everything from wom-
ems fur-trimmed coats to rugs,
a check with big resident buy
ing Offices indicated today.
Factors boosting retail prices
include rising wages in the tex
tile industry, increased leather
costs and a possible boost in
steel prices.
Another reason is that Con-
gresS may increase the Federal
wage minimum for workers in
interstate commerce from 81 an
hour to SIPS an hour, the buy
ing Offices said.
This gloomy view of the cost
price spiral comes from firms
which buy millions of dollars
of merchandise for hundreds of
department stores from coast
to coast.
