Refused Gold Club
Facilities, NEGROES Sue

Charleston, s. c. (ANP)-Denied
use of a city golf course last No
vember, a group Of golfers last
week asked the federal court to
rule against state laws that re-
quire race segregation in public
recreational facilities.
The suit said that the plaintiffs
John H. Cummings, John l..
Chisholm, Robert Johnson and
Benjamin Wright were denied
the use Of facilities solely because
of their race or color. 1t contends
the denial is a violation of the 14th
Amendment to the U. s. Constitu-
ton.
The city council, when notified
that Negro golfers planned to use
the course, voted to sell the course.
However, only one bid, for 10000,
was received. 1t was rejected.

Shift Davis Cup Play
From Forrest Hills.
A. CONGRESS Urqes

The American Jewish Congress
today Thursday, July 81 called
on the United States Davis Cup
Committee to move the challenge
round symbolizing international
tennis supremacy from the Forest
Hills Stadium Of the West Side
Tennis Club to another site.
Stanley H. Lowell, chairman Of
the executive committee Of the
AJCongress New York Metropoli-
tan Council, said in a letter to the
u. s. Lawn Tennis Association -
whose officers comprise the Davis
Cup Committee - that the clubs
policy in refusing membership to
Negroes and Jews makes it total
ly unsuited for international COM
petition in which the United States
is represented as host"
Unless the Davis Cup compeu-
ton is moved to another site, Mr.
Lowell said, "the spotlight Of
world attention will point up the
fact that our country-leader Of
the free world-can provide no
better setting for an event aimed
at encouraging sportsmanship and
international good will than club
which has still not accepted the
Declaration of Independence and
the concept that all men are Great
ed equal.
The damage to American pres
tige is already great" Lowell said
in his message to Cup officials.
He urged that swift action be TAX
en- to move the competition else
where, thus disavowing the policy
of the West Side Tennis Club.
Otherwise, he declared:
I'VE may retain the Davis Cup
but we will surely lose the re-
spect of millions of people around
the world of all race, colors and
religions"

AfIonfu NAAcP
Protest Banninq
Of Negro Students

Atlanta CAMP - Following ap-
plication and rejection Of three
young Negro Women: Misses Ern-
estine Brown, Mary Rogers and
Alice Wyche. by the all-white
Georgia State College, and state
ments from Georgia's Governor
Vandiver, States RICHTER Roy Har-
ris and others accusing the NAA-
CP of attempting to destroy pub
lie schools, the Atlanta Branch Of
the NAACP adopted the following
resolution:
ut is most unfortunate that
many public officials are under
commitments which violate the
rights of some citizens and oppose
principles set forth in the Con-
stitution of the United States.
After ninety three years Of
disconnected submission to laws
and practices which have denied
them rights guaranteed by the
Constitution, Negroes are using
only moral, constitutional methods
in seeking full citizenship rights
and benefits. In their efforts to
exercise these rights, they cannot
be held responsible or accountable
for the enactment of retaliatory
laws, the exertion of economic
pressures, the acts Of violence and
the other destructive measures
that have been perpetrated, to the
detriment of our entire citizenry.
Violence, economic reprisals, pur-
ges, denial of voting rights, firing
Of teachers, closing of schools and
other law-defying demonstrations
of intimidation, added to the flag
rant inequalities which already ex-
list, are not initiated nor condoned
by fair-minded citizens, black or
white, but they do retard our pro-
gress toward Democracy at home
and abroad.
Rights Negroes have gained
thru judicial processes have even
tually benefited all citizens, in:
political action, public facilities
education, employment and justice
itself. This makes it imperative
that the majority leadership, in
every community, consider care
fully and prayerfully the conse-
quences of their actions to the
end that the truly American way
of life may prevail.
I'VE urge upon our fellow-ciu-
zens continued wisdom and under
standing but persistent courage in
seeking the recognition Of their
rights and the wise selection of
courses Of procedure, before, as
well as after, they are gained. In
the meantime, we as an organiza-
ton stand ready and willing to aid
in the solution Of problems which
exist, by petition, conference or
judicial action in the interest of
better understanding, as we seek
the objective Of full citizenship
for every American"

Memoirs Of A Defdinee
In Southern Rhodesio
by OTTOJT T.. VIBETI

BY OT1OJI L.. NADLAA
Editors Note: The third Of a
series by one of the active work
ers in the banned Southern Rho
desia Africa National congress,
tells Of his experiences in the
dreaded Khami prison, where he
was sent for committing 1.-TWO
serious offenses.")
Commits Breach In Prison Rules
BY March 10, I had committed
two serious offenses in prison.
First, I managed to smuggle out
a letter I had written on toilet
tissue to a friend in South Africa,
but it didn't get far. 1t was stop
ped at the post office.
Then, I asked the assistant pri-
son superintendent to buy me tin
of cocoa-with my own money
since tea was foreign to me.
Because of this, I, with nine
others, found myself being rec
commended for immediate removal
from Kentucky prison to Khami-
formidable jailhouse.
Since lunch was not ready, we
were given a ration of semi-cooked
beans and raw thick porridge.
When we had finished, handouts
were clapped on us, and away we
went a-winging (by plane) to Bull
away.
Thirty minutes later, my wife
came to visit me, only to learn that
I was not there.
Arriving at Bulawayo, we were
again confronted with the by nov
familiar dramatics Of police -
armed-pomp. And we promptly
acknowledged it by giving the AZ
rican salute-thumbs up. They
formed a guard Of honor for us.
Police jeeps carted us off ia
Khami jailhouse, where Supt. Du
Land gave US the usual welcome
accorded criminals - ruffing US
up to the accompaniment Of jeers
from his Junior officers.
When this ended, we were led
to our cells. An hour later, we
were fed - and believe you me,
there were weevils forming scum
in the bean soup. To be sure, none
Of us drank the stuff.
With the coming Of the morn
ing, came also those intolerable
sub-human conditions under which
we were to be subjected. Break
fast consisted of thick, husky
porridge and coffee without sugar.
You either took 1t or left it, no
one cared.
There was even an attempt
made to actually kill us off
through starvation, but we lived
through 1t.
When we were allowed 10 min
utes recreation outside, we lost no
time telling our friends Of the
improved food conditions at Ken
lucky prison. OF course, you know
what that means.
Before we were returned to our
cells, the mob began shouting for
better food" This meant trouble
for the 10 of us from Kentucky.
From that moment on, we were
segregated from the rest Of the
prisoners. We had been allowed 10
minutes to see the Lords world
now seceeded to the white man.
We lived there after cooped up to
ourselves. We had no literature
whatsoever, and newspapers were
out Of the question.
Priest Visits 'Floclk"

priest decided to visit his flock"
All the detainees were made to

The sermon was conducted In
an elderly manner, and the detain-
ees sang joyously. But as soon as
the services were over, one Of the
detainees stood up and said:
