Las Vegas Hotels
Drop Color Bar

Las Vegas, New, - Recent re-
moval of the ban against Negro
guests at this resort citys plush
hotels and casinos was hailed this
week by NAACP leaders locally
and nationally
The change in policy was an
nounced after the Las Vegas NAA-
CP said it would stage "sit-in"
demonstrations in the opulent hos
telries and gambling houses.
Disclosure that Negro guests
can now expect equal treatment
caused DR.. James Mcmillan, Las
Vegas NAACP president, to COM
ment:
This is a red-letter day for Las
Vegas. The city should be the cos
mopolitan center of the country"
Until the local NAACP brought
greater pressure, the Las Vegas
situation for Negroes was anom-
alous. In nearby Southern Califor-
MIA, mainly Los Angeles, there is
a large and weD-integrated Negro
The Los Angeles Ne
gro community alone ranks third
in size behind New York City and
Chicago with a population Of 49,
900.
Yet the many Los Angeles Ne
groes who could afford the luxury
accommodations found they were
not welcome at this desert play
ground.
An even a more curious situation
existed until the NAACP stepped
up it's protests in that Negro per
formers for years have furnished
the Las Vegas strip with its most
entertainment. But with
the exception of a few top head
liners such as Nat (King) Cole
and Eartha Kit, Negro perform
ers were denied integrated service
at the establishments where they
were working. They and Negro
visitors were referred to West Las
Vegas, this citys Negro sector.

The cost of dry cleaning comes to
you in two wayS-the bill itself and
any additional cost from missing
items, ruined materials and extra
fees. Here's how to cut your cleaning
bills:
Buy your clothing with an eye to-
ward cleaning costs. Read the
tags TO identifythe material as be-
ing suitable for dry cleaning and
select a garment with the feweSt
attachments so it will wear longer.
Keep a duplicate list of items you
send to the cleaner. 1t will cut loss
of clothing.
Point out and identify any stains
to the cleaner.
Give your cleaner a week, if pos
Sible, to do your order. 1t helps
him, saves you worry, and stops
you from paying IS or IS cents
for specials.
Shop first for quality when decid-
ing on a dry cleaner. A few extra
cents more charge from a quality
shop will save you money in the
long-run.

However, after the game the

Chicago (ANP)-Orestes min
nie) Minoso had a most happy
reunion with Chicago baseball fans
at Comiskey Park Tuesday april
49,.
The colorful outfielder, every bit
the hustling senior of old, thrilled
an opening day audience of 1861,
including Mayor Richard ]. Daley
who threw out the first ball, with
a mighty display Of power and de-
fensive play.
Minnie blasted a 415-foot to left
centerfield in the fourth inning
and then repeated the feat with a
tie-breaking solo roundtripper in
the ninth to lead the Chicago
White Sox to a 1919 win over the
Kansas City Athletics.
Spurs Team Play
His bat splurge accounted for
six runs-one coming on a sacri-
fice-while his brilliant fielding
saved the day for the Pale Hose
on three occasions. He made two
sensational catches in left field
earlier, and then in the ninth pre-
vented what might have been the
winning run by cutting down a
baserunner with a rifling throw
to the plate.
But until Minnie reasserted his
presence for the benefit of the
throng, the game was not an i'm
pressive one. 1t was a comedy of
errors in which there were five
miscues, three of them by the
Athletics in the first inning to
enable the Sox to score as many
times. Ironically for Minnie, he
was charged with the Sox lone err
ror when shortstop Luis Aparicio
backed into him in short leftfield
and caused him to drop a pop fly
ball. However, the crowd knew it
was not Minoso's fault.
