The climate in the West Indies is
wonderful, but the economic and

State Did Not
Drop Mccarthy
Suit Cratic Sovs

William E. Cratic, chairman Of
the Minnesota Fair Employment
Practices Commission, issued 6
statement Wednesday pointing out
that the dropping of the appea
to the Supreme Court in the case
of Carl L. Carter VS., Mccarthy
Cafe was not done because the
commission and other parties tc
the suit had settled the matter out
Of court.
The appeal was dropped be-
cause the Minnesota Legislature in
its current session adopted an
amendment to the F.E.P.C. Law
stating that all actions in the dis
trict court should be de nova. As
previously worded, the law left no
doubt to the question as to wheth-
er the district court could order d
completely new trial without ref
erence to the evidence, findings,
conclusions and order of the Board
of Review.
The commissions proposed ap-
peal to the Supreme Court was
based on the assumption that their
foregoing question should be an
swered in the negative. However,
the current legislatures action has
not answered it in the affirmative
and has thus removed the basis for
the appeal.
The case was based on a COM
plant made by Carl Leon Carter
that he had been refused upgrad-
ing from a position of bus boy to
that of waiter at McCarthy's Cafe
because he was a Negro. After
investigation, the com m l s 1 n
found proper cause to correct the
allegation of the complaint and
sought to persuade the manage
ment of McCarthy's Cafe to take
positive steps to put non-discrim-
nation policy into practice.
Failing to bring about compli-
ance with the law thru conference
and persuasion, the commission re-
quested the governor to appoint a
board of review to hold a public
hearing. The board found that dis
elimination had been practiced,
and that positive steps should be
taken by the cafe to correct it.
The board found that Carl l..
Carter had qualifications for work
as a waiter which were superior to
those Of the two white bus boys
who had been upgraded to walters
positions just before Mr.. Carriers
complaint was filed.
Judge D. E. LaBelle set aside
the findings, conclusions and order
of the board of review after con-
Quoting a trial de nova in the dis
trict court on the basis of the evid-
ence there considered, he found
that discrimination on the part of
McCarthy's Cafe against Mr.. Car
ter had not been proved.
The judge acknowledged the fact
that failure to promote Carter,
might have been because he is a

"Most Pressing Issue"
The race question was the most
pressing issue confronting the 49,
man committee at a three-day
meeting which ended here Wednes-
day MAY III. At the meeting, the
committee heard protests on the
race ban various groups and in
dividuals, including Atty. General
Stanley Mosk of California. Mosl s
declaration that the 1862 tourna-
ment could not be played in Cal
ifornia if the ranking Negro pro-
fessional, Charlie Sifford, was bar
red, was relayed to the committee
The Los Angeles Junior Cham
Der of Commerce, which was to
sponsor the PEA tournament, also
sent spokesman to the meeting to
register the Jaycees protest over
the race ban. After the withdrawal
the L. A. Jaycees announced that
they would sponsor a 72-hole Los
Angeles Open tournament of their
own on Jan As, in place of the
PGA tournament.
It was almost certain that Sif-
ford, one of the principal figures
in the controversy, although not
of his own accord, would play in
the Jaycees' tournament. He has
played in previous Jaycee tourna-
ments.

The summer soldier and the sunshine

service of his country; but he that stands

with us, that the harder the conflict the
more glorious the triumph. What we OBJ

Tis DEAFNESS only that gives everything its
