Three Negroes were arrested
today and charged with beat

Patrolman Walter j. Ver-
vile said he stopped a car for
going through a red light and
the three men in it attacked
him.
They beat him to the ground,
he said, took his gun, and
ripped the badge from his
shirt. They fed on foot.
He chased them and was

Free Food Lures Back
Irote Cafe Customers

LOS ANGELES. Aug. 20
(AP) On the roof of the new
Los Angeles county courthouse
there's a 100000 cafeteria
which has almost everything.
1t has a beautiful view of
the Los Angeles Civic Center.
1t has a dishwashing machine
that can wash 10000 dishes
a day. 1t has seats for 720
customers. 1t even has good
food.
What 1t needs is customers.
The cafeteria is the victim
of a boycott-by the people 1t
was built to feed.
1t can handle 5000 custo-
mers a day. Opening day -
last August lot fed 5000.
Then, because of the boycott,
attendance dropped off. One
day last week it was down
to 400.
1T would appear" said
County Supervisor Kenneth
Hahn, "that the operator got
off on the wrong foot"
Here's what happened:
On opening day, Leonard
Chaser. who operates the cafe
terra on rental from the coun-
ty. noticed a good luncheon
trade. But few people showed
up for coffee breaks.
Customers Irked
He nosed around the big, new
courthouse and found out why:
On the first floor there was an
employe-operated "Siesta Club
that was selling coffee and
doughnuts by the gallons and
thousands-at half the price
charged in the handsome pent-
house facility.
Mr.. CHASER batted out a
strongly worded letter to the
Board Of Supervisors. He
charged:
His business venture on the
roof was being undermined by
amateurs on the first floor. He

Negro SingerHeId
In Mississippi
Dating Incident

MERIDIAN, Miss, Aug. 20
P).-Charles (Chuck) Berry,
Negro rock m roll singer. was
Jailed yesterday after a teen
age white girl accused him of
trying to date her at a dance.
Police charged him with dis
turbing the peace and disorder
ly conduct.
Mississippi has no specific
law forbidding interracial dat
ing but laws and tradition for
bid social race mixing.
Paul Busby, Lauderdal e
County attorney. declined to
discuss the investigation pend
ing its completion.
But he said the girl and her
boy friend, both of whom ne
declined to identify, accused
the st. Louis (Mo.) singer of
asking the girl to go out with
him after a high school fra
ternity dance where Mr.. Berry
performed.
Mr.. Busby quoted Mr.. Berry
as denying the accusation and
saying the girl approached him
for his autograph. He said the
incident was a misunderstand-
ing.

had to pay rent dts 1874 per
cent OF his gross. and the
Siesta Club didn't. He had to
pay his help and the Siesta
Club used file clerks on the
county payroll to serve refresh
ments almost all the time.
The county turned over OPP
Grafton of the snack bar to Mr..
Chaser, too. He promptly raised
the prices from S to 8 cents.
And the customers began to
stay away in droves. Many en-
ployes complained CHASER was
"high-handed."
I'm only serving 400 meals
a day." Mr.. CHASER complained
a little later. II must sell 600
to break even" Even the snack
bar was virtually deserted.
Free Food a Hit
Everyone agrees the boycott
was unofficial-but effective.
Supervisor Hahn suggested
that If it didn't ease in two
weeks by Labor Day - the
county should take the cafe
terra operation away from Mr..
CHASER.
To try to patch things up
with his customers-the 5000
county workers in the civic
center-Mr. CHASER gave away
free coffee and doughnuts for
three hours last Tuesday.
Business in free items was
brisk.

After formally introducing

Motherwell and the girl went
to his room, where they laughed
and talked, leaving the door
open.

Later, however, the redhead
grew suspicious when she
learned that Motherwell was
telling several different stories
about himself around town. He
had shown her bankbooks in
an effort to back up his story
he was a wealthy businessman.
AS her suspicious grew, the
girl turned down the wedding

Donald Nutter Speaks at
Legion Auxiliary Meetinq

The American Legion Auxiliary
heard a program on problems
encountered by legislators, with
Donald Nutter, Republican State
Chairman, and a former Richland
County State Senator, as the
guest speaker, at their January
program in the Legion Hall Tues
day evening. Mrs. Evelyn Soren-
son, Legislative Chairman, had
charge of the program.
Senator Nutter departed from
the usual plan of tracing steps
by which bills become laws, and
instead he explained the problems
encountered by lawmakers, while
bills are still in committee stages.
The work of lobbying interests,
and of groups whose interests
may conflict with each other
was explained, with particular
reference to various bills which
have been introduced in past
sessions, and have failed of pass
age. The talk was strictly non
partisan, and was greatly enjoyed
by his audience.

where Mrs. Hurley Carey presid-
ed, plans were made to hold a

AS an Executive officer, she
was elected every year at the an

Treasurer of the organization,
and as such, according to the
Union laws, she was responsible
to the Supreme Council under

improper.
This faithful servant has served
her people the best she could,
until she was put out of her job,
without the knowledge of the
people who elected her and re-
placed by another appointee, all
of which is questionable. But be-

But Lavagetto's continuing
chats with Greenberg seem to
belle that notion. Griffith and

White Sox what it will take to
top the Dodgers offer and the
reception was heartening.
Lavagetto said he would in

of its promising young catchers,

John Csllison, .29O, who was a
Standout with Indianapolis in
1858, also has been coveted by
the Senators in the past. He
slammed 90 homers and batted
in SO runs with Indianapolis
two years ago.
Battey, who will be Is next

Romano, but the sturdy Negro
doesn't pack Romano's author

White Sox benefited from
