Northern Motel Owner Calls Self
DefenseIess in Racial Case

MICHIGAN Tourists and Re-
sort Association that it Will
not distribute the bnnklets
of that association or Its an
nual guide if they carry the
listing of"the persons who are
accused of violating the sta
tutes."
The clipping, which was
from an article in the Grand
Rapids Press. says:
This has amounted to
making the West Michigan
Association the punitive
club to carry out the ruling
of the attorney general.
Members of the executive
committee of the West Mich
igan Tourist and Resort Asso-
citation feel very strongly that
it is an American principle
that no person may be deemed
guilty without his day in
court. This the defendants
have not had. No complainant
to the attorney generals Of
flee has brought suit, and the
attorney generals Office has
arbitrarily declared them to
be in violation without a
court hearing of any kind"
The Michigan readers
letter continues:
MY understanding is that
the only crime these people
committed was circulating
calendars with a Negro's pic
ture on them, the same hav-
ing been ordered before the
States civil rights bill was
passed.
I'VE. too, own a motel, and
according to our civil rights
laws, if a Negro comes in
and we are full up and can
not give him a room, he can
go away and report us as
having refused him. We can
then be held in violation
without any complaint being
lodged against us or without
our even knowing that we
have been reported. We would
have no opportunity to pre-
sent our side. The penalty is
a $4,000 fine or one year in
jail, or both. So, you see,
we have no civil rights

Do the various candidates
who aspire to the presidency
really practice what they
preach?
This is a question raised
by a reader who feels that,
since free speech is being
rather broadly interpreted
nowadays by the Supreme
Court to include the distri-
button of anonymous hand
bills. a citizen has the right
to direct a few anonymous
queries to the candidates.
From a reader in a city in
Michigan come these three
questions:
do the children of the
candidates invite playmates
into their homes regardless
of race, creed or color?
do these candidates en-
tertain Negroes in their
home at the same time and
on the same level as their
white friends?
In other words, do they
practice what they preach?"
The letter then goes on to
discuss the BACKGROUND
against which the questions
are asked:
II want to be sure that
my vote will not help put a
man in Office who is secretly
dedicated to wrecking my
way of life. I resent anyone
trying to tell me the person
or persons I should associate
with. Just because the courts
say he is my social equal.
I have always been the judge
Of that, and I want to go
on being the judge of it. I
cannot vote for anyone who
says I am not.
Il am inclosing an article
from one of our newspapers
which points up what civil
rights have brought to us
in Michigan. I refer to the
case against some motel own
ers who have been declared
by the Office of the State
Attorney General to ne in
violation of the States civil
rights statutes. Under this
ruling, the State Tourists
council has notified the West

ing in found it a city of
flames, ruin and looting. On
April 4 he issued his last
proclamation. calling on the
people to resist and saying
Richmond would soon be
recaptured. The news of Gen.
Lees surrender shocked him
and caused him to turn
southwark from Virginia. At
Greensboro, N. c., on April
II, he held a cabinet meeting,
at which time he reluctantly
gave Gen. Joe Johnston per-
mission to negotiate sur
render. Twelve days later he
approved Johnston's terms
and, finally admitted the
Confederacy was lost. The
party broke up. Mr.. Davis
fled south.
On May 10, at Irwinville,
he was captured. The alarm
came at dawn. The fugitive
President snatched up a
cloak. 1t was his wife's. He
had not been we'll for a long

to as early as 1858. He suf-

Gus indigestion and head

out into the cold. damp

about him. The story started
that he had been disguised
in women's clothes. 1t was
not true. But the coat, the
shawl, and the spurs he had
on were kept and sent to
WaShington.
Mr.. Davis was not as bad
as his Vice President and the
Confederate generals thought
him to be. If he was arrogant,

Confederote's Apparel When Captured
Now Available to His Heirs

The National Archives and
Record Service has the wom-
ans raincoat, shawl and
a pair of spurs which JEFF
ferson Davis was wearing
when arrested in the woods
near Irwinville, Ga, on May
10, 1865. The Davis heirs may
have them for the asking,
but the Archives hopes they
will be given to the Smith
Sonian Institution.
Mr.. Davis was a fortunate
man insofar as his place in
history is concerned. After
the fall of Richmond he be-
came a fugitive. BY then he
already had alienated the
confidence of the Army.
Gems. Joe Johnston and
Nathan Bedford Forrest. in
particular. deSpised him. The
Confederate Congress had
long before lost confidence
in his leadership. The Vice
President, Alexander Ste
phens. had openly accused
Mr.. Davis of being a person
of little character and one
who had destroyed the
South. Indeed, the Vice Pres
ident, after what he felt was
a betrayal at the Hampton
Roads conference, had come
to Georgia and refused to
have anything more to do
with the government.
The Richmond papers were
in full cry against Mr.. Davis
and his policies. But he had
the great luck to be arrested
and placed in prison. This,
and the cruel treatment &C
corded him there, made him
a martyr and a symbol of
the lost cause.
Mr.. Davis and his party
had left Richmond on April
3. The city fell the next day.

Negroes Are Real Sufferers
In Virginia Indignation Order

r. Beverley Herbert. prominent
Columbia attorney, recently paid a
visit to Prince Edward County, Va,
where all Of the public schools,
white and colored, are closed be-
cause of the decision of the Federal
courts ordering Indignation.
In an article in the State Sunday
Mr.. Herbert, who is by no means a
racial agitator, pointed out that the
Federal judge who first heard the
Prince Edward case and who was
familiar with ond tions which
existed in the county. gave the
county ten years in which to COM
ply with the Indignation order but
that 1.-The Circuit Court of Appeals
with a majority of outside judges
who did not know local conditions
ovel1uled the local Judge and or
dered Indignation started immedi.
atcly."
The county Commissioners levied
no school taxes so there was no
money to run the schools and now
they are closed.
The closed schools said MI.
Herbert, cry out against the intol-
erance of those Americans who
have no race problem in their COM
munities and who are unwilling to
believe that their fellow Americans
who do have such a problem are do
ing their best to solve it. They also
cry out against judges who are so
foolish as to think they can, by
order OF court, change human ma
ture and wipe out race problem. :"
The population of Prince Edward
County, Mr.. Herbert said, is about
half white and half colored. The
colored people have been paying
about Is per cent Of the school
taxes and have gotten about 50 per
cent Of the benefits. They were all
getting along all right until the
NAACP came in and brought their
law suits. The people decided if
they couldn't run their own schools
they will have no public schools so
they closed them. They are violat-
ing no law because there is no pub
lie school to go to.
The 1000 white children are 60
ing to school in churches and are
being taught by white teachers, 4"
said Mr.. Herbert. 1.-THE 100 col
ored children are not going to
school anywhere and the 70 colored
teachers have no Jobs. The NAACP
has not helped either the colored
children or the colored teachers. In
fact. the white people tried to help
the colored people arrange schools
Like the white schools but the
NAACP would have nothing to do
with any schools unless they were
mixed"
Mr.. Herbert thinks the Negroes
of South Carolina should profit from
the experience of the Negroes in
Prince Edward County. There
should be a. lesson for coloreG
people in what happened in Farm
VILE" he said. 1T is that they have
good schools and good teachers and
their teachers have good jobs. Just
like the people at Farmville prince
Edward County, had. If they let the
NAACP destroy these schools it
may be a long time before they
