Threat Of Jail
Fails 10 Halt
NegroProtests
BY the Associated Press

Negroes trying to break
through racial barriers at pub
lie lunch counters are continue
ing their sitdowns and demon
strations despite an increasing
number of arrests.
At Sumter, S. c., Is students
from Morris College were ar
rested today when they sought
lunch counter service at three
downtown stores. Charged with
breach of the peace, each was
held under 500 bond. Morris
is a Baptist-supported Negro
college.
Officials Crack Down
Approximately 200 students
from Allen University and
Benedict College demonstrated
yesterday after failing to get
service at lunch counters in
Columbia. s. c. Smaller groups
turned out in st. Petersburg,
Fla, and Norfolk, Va.
The possibility of jail or
fines spread as officials cracked
down with trespassing or sim
liar charges. Florida Gov.
Leroy Collins backed up peace
officers in that State by point
ing out a 1857 law gives opera
tors Of restaurants the right to
refuse service to any one they
consider undesirable.
In Nashville, Tenn, where
144 have been arrested and a
Negro divinity student dis
missed as the result of demon
strations, Mayor Ben West
called for an end to the pub
lie displays as he appointed a
bi-racial citizens committee to
study the issues involved.
Committee Members
Included on the committee
are DR.. Stephen ]. Wright,
president Of Fisk University,
and DR.. w. s. Davis, president
of Tennessee A6EI. Most of
those arrested were from these
schools.
Trials for the students have
brought five more convictions
on charges Of disorderly con-
duct. A habeas corpus petition
brought by a Negro woman stu
dent convicted earlier was de-
MED. Maxine Walker, 10, had
chosen the workhouse rather
than pay a fine and her court
action was looked upon as a
test case.

through morning classes as
most Of them were on hand

courts today.
The red-haired comedienne,

Her action confirmed a fact
which had been well-known in
the movie colony for months.
In her suit, she said the couple
separated February 26, 1853,
after 19 years and 3 months OF
married life.
During the year Of separa-
ton, the two denied any rift
in the marriage. One close
friend explained why: 49, p

that time. The last was filmed
in January and of that one,

sidekick, Said prophetically just

country to do so, however. as
Lucy has leased an apartment |
in New York. She has signed |
for a Broadway musical in the |

Amicable Divorce
Mr.. Arnaz said the divorce
will be amicable.
I'VE deeply regret that after
long and serious consideration
we have not been able to work
out our problems. Lucy will
pursue her career on televislon

as head Of Desilu Productions"
The two met in 1910 while
both were under contract to +.

a bongo-playing Cuban-per-
feet type casting. 4
He later was fired from |

jointly with his wife and a
