Claims Race Barring
Him From Police
Job In Britain

Leeds, England (ANP) - A 25.
year-old Negro who claims he is
good enough to be a British soldier,
but not a policeman, said last week
his application for a job on this
city's police force has been de-
layed and perhaps rejected because
of his race.
He is Richard B. Clarke, a ma
tive of Trinidad, British West In
dies, who is married to a English
woman and is living with her and
their three children.
He said he filed an application
with the Leeds police department
a month ago but so far no action
has been taken to hire him. He
also said he was given a test by a
police inspector who told him af-
forwards he presented a problem
as colored man.
Clarke has been drafted and Is
awaiting orders to report for army
duty unless he is called by the
police department Irritated by the
delay, he declared:
1T seems I am good enough
to be soldier. but not a police
man"
However, a spokesman for Po-
lice Chief Alex Patterson, who
was out Of town on business, dem
led Clarke's charge. He said race
has nothing to do with it and that
a months delay is not unusual.

Court Of Appeals
Rules Agoinsf
NEGRO RuiIrooders

New York City CAMP - The
us. Sixth Court of Appeals has
ruled against a group of Negro
railroaders who challenged labor
unions denial of membership to
them. The union involved is the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men. The American Civil Liber-
ties Union and its affiliate, the
Ohio Civil Liberties Union, filed a
friend of the court brief in behalf
of the Negro workers.
In the ACLU brief, two major
points were made. First, that dem
ial of membership in duly elected
bargaining representative, based
on race, is incompatible with the
equal protection afforded by the
Fourteenth Amendment and the
due process guaranteed by the
Fifth Amendment Second, the
brief asserted, an alternative
ground for complaint rests in the
body of court decisions which
struck down separate but equal "
facilities in schools.
The Appeals Court, affirming
an earlier decision by a U. S. Dis
trict Court, denied the first argu-
ment. 1t said that the Railway
Labor Act does not prescribe quail
ifications for membership to bar
gaining agents. The Act merely
insures that all employees shall
have a vote in choosing this bar
gaining agent, the court pointed
out.
1t advised: For injustices due
to discrimination or inadequate rep
resentation and participation to
employees who are not members
of the bargaining agent, the en-
ployees must look to the legisla-
tive, not the judicial branch of
constitutional government"
Turning to the second argument,
the court reviewed the earlier de-
cision by the district court. Here,
it pointed out, alleged acts Of dis
elimination against the Negroes
are actually legitimate practices
used by most unions for reasons
other than discrimination.
Since they apply to all who
come within the terms of the rule
involved, whether the individuals
are white or colored, this court
cannot state definitely that this
Brotherhood adopted these prac-
tees for the purpose of discrimin-
ating against the Negroes" the
district court had said.
The Appeals Court said these
findings are "eminently correct
and are supported by substantial
evidence. There is, therefore, no
occasion for further consideration
of appellants second argument"

Virginia Governor
Hopes For" Solution
Of School Crisis
BY Victor CalvertOn

Richmond, Va. CAMP - Gov
J. Lindsay Almond Jr., who NOR,
than any other Virginia official il
responsible for the states massive
resistance to school desegregation
expressed concern for the crisis il
the school issue, as the new veal
opened, he said:
The most imminent and crit
ical problem facing Virginia re,
wolves around her public schoo
system. 1t is my earnest hope ant
prayer that, consistent with honor
and Virginia's record for leader,
ship throughout her history, we
may be able to bring about a ra,
tional solution that will preserve
the cause of education for all the
children of Virginia"
Observers noted that the gov,
ernor made no hint of relaxing his
massive resistance to the Supreme
courts desegregation order against
which the state has been fighting
under his leadership. Some said
the governors statement sounded
like sounding brass and a ting
ling cymbal"
DR.. Fontaine c. Armstead, di.
rector, Virginia Institute for Scien.
tific Research, said he hoped 1.-THE
problem of Virginia's schools be
resolved"
DR.. Colgate w. Darden Jr., pres,
ident, University of Virginia, said
my hope is we can resolve
the very difficult problem which
confronts US in public education.
But all these listless sayings
appear to one Virginia daily
paper as virtually nothing in the
face of the tragedy of Virginia's
present ed u a tionaI system.
Writing under the caption "Vir-
ginia Dreamers, And A Night
mare" one editor said:
They have resulted in the clos.
ing Of nine schools in three COM
munities and the educa tiona
standing of $4,000 children-10,
900 of them in Norfolk. The laws
collapse is imminent, and the les
son is clear. The four governors,
present and past, should have Civ
en- the lesson voice and meaning.
while this state has been bemus-
ing itself with futile school stat
utes and taking the longest step
backward in education ever in
tentionally exercised by a state,
it has systematically and some
times brutally polarized the races.
Mr.. Darden, who is president of
the University of Virginia, well in
deed might long for the time when
white and black Virginians would
live again in love and trust.
His advice, as the principal of
ficer Of a desegregated university,
for turning the tide in these human
affairs, might prove to be more
valuable than his more expression
of desire. Certainly Mr.. Battle was
not being constructive when he
wished for, but did not suggest, a
new segregation program that will
meet federal law"
The three former governors of
Virginia to whom the editor re-
ferred are John s. Battle, William
M. Tuck and Colgate w. Darden
Jr. Tuck said he hoped Virginia
would keep on practicing massive
resistance to desegragation.

this is vital. The educated class
is so small that it cannot afford
to waste it's strength duplicating
experiments and dividing its eff
forts.
TT is rare to be able to well
come any international develop
ment unreservedly. The establish
ment of the U. N. Econimic Com
mission for Africa can be hailed
as welcome example of enlight-
ened self-interest on the part of
Independent States and colonial
governments alike"

Thirty Africans Dead
As Congo Rioters
Ask independence

Leopoldville, Belgian Congo
(ANP) - Although the rioting
which ripped the city apart has
stopped. the Belgian government
in Brussels Tuesday ordered a
special session of parliament to
discuss the rioting which erupted
last Sunday.
The exact cause Of the rioting
which killed 80 Africans, injured
100 other Africans and 20 Europ-
cans was not clear.
Newspapers in Brussels claimed
that African politicians, pressing
for independence in the Belgian
colony, were behind the rioting.
Want Freedom & Now
The riots broke into full battle
when crowd attending a political
meeting of Congolese at which
future independence for the Congo
was mentioned, started yelling:
I'VE want independence now"
The crowd quickly grew into a
mob which began setting up road
blocks and stoning European-driv-
en- cars.
The crowd beat priests and at
tackled other Europeans.
Troops Cause More Trouble
The police added fuel to the fire
by sweeping down with troops to
break up the demonstration. The
governor general declared a state
of alert, and the Europeans start
ed leaving their homes in a mass
i've evacuation"
Daniel Kama, African vice-pres-
ident of the Abako Association of
Africans from the Lower Congo
was arrested.
Leopoldville, located directly
across the Congo River from the
French Equatorial Africa capital
of Brazzaville, has an African pop
ulation of about 100000.
Most of the huge native settle
ment is a maze of clay and mud
huts.

The African natives work in the
modern city all day then must
return to their mud huts at nights.

Another First"

An honor graduate from Har-
wards school of law, Alexander in
1851 chalked-up another first for
a Negro when he was elected to
the city council.
A past president of the National
Bar Association and former coun-
sci to the Haitian Embassy, Alex
ander has been credited with help
ing end segregation in the armed
forces.
1t is said a direct report he made
to Gen. George c. Marshall, then
Secretary of Defense, on the in
tegration of Negro soldiers occu-
pied in Europe, helped end the
segregation problem there.

and a brother DR.. William Alex

Raymond Alexander
Named Philips Isl
Negro Judge
BY Malcolm POindexter

Philadelphia (ANP) - Ray
mond Pace Alexander last week
became Philadephia's first Negro
Common Pleas Court judge.
He was appointed by Gov.
George NJ. Leader to fill a vacancy.
Alexander, a prominent attorney,
was recommended for the post by
Democratic City Chairman Will
liam ]. Green, Jr., and replaces
John Morgan Davis, lieutenant
governor elect, whose term will
end Jan. 1860.
Alexander's appointment had
been expected for several days. It
was rumored that despite his not
being endorsed by the Philadelphia
Bar Association that Governor
Leader would exercise the author
ity of his office and appoint the
prominent attorney.
In recent years, Leader has not
appointed anyone to the local
courts unless the candidate has
been endorsed by the Bar Associa-
ton. However, the governor does
not have to make his selection
from the approved attorneys.
One of the reasons that Alex
ander was considered was the fact
that he stepped aside as a candi-
date for Congress in Philadelphia's
4th District so that Representa-
tive-elect Robert N. c. Nix, also
Negro, could obtain strong back
ing in the special election May 20,
1858, to select a replacement for
Judge Earl Chudoff.
Alexander, SO has been a men,
Der of City Council since 1851,
representing the 5th councilmanic
district. He practices law in part
nership with his wife, the former
Sadie Tanner Mossell.
