Bartender Fined;
Negro Airmen Charged
S. For Coco Colo

GranQ FORKS, N. u. - A WmLe
bartender was sentenced to 30 days
in 5aa and fined 800 here for
charging Negro airmen IS for a
Coca Cola.
This was the first victory Of the
recently formed Greater Grand
Forks chapter Of the NAACP,
made up mostly of Air Force per-
sonnet stationed at Grand Forks
air bases.
Under leadership Of 1t. Theodore
Johnson, president Of the NAACP
unit, the airmen are waging a
fight against strong prejudices in
this region of the country.
The airmen are trying to get
whites near the air base to live up
to the new North Dakota law
which forbids discrimination in
places of public accommodations.
Some restaurants and bars have
openly defied the law.
Negro military personnel are
also facing hardship in finding off
base homes for their families.
Leonard H. Carter, NAACP
field secretary, informed James c.
Evans, civilian assistant to the
Secretary Of Defense in Washing
ton, D. c., that when Negro air
men find homes, they pay higher
rents than similarly situated white
families because of the restricted
market.
aside from the humiliating and
personal insults these serWcemen
are subjected to, it is unthinkable
that the us. Government will toll
crate discrimination and exploita-
ton against members Of its armed
forces" Carter added.
Actually these Negro families
are paying a color tax, in addition
to excessive rents" he said.
The NAACP asked for an 'im-
mediate investigation into this
matter and that some solution
to this problem be found" The
Association Offered its full CO.
operation" to the Secretary Of
Defense's office.

AFL-CIO'S:
MeanY & Randolph
Lunch Together:
Truce Is cifed

Bal Harbour, Fla. CAMP -
There were indications here this
week that A. Philip Randolph, only
Negro vice president of the ALL
CLIO, and George Meany, the fed
eration's president, might be on
the road to patching up their diff
ferences on the issue of racial dis
elimination.
Meany invited Randolph to lunch
and Randolph accepted. This was
not considered a mere social note
since the two labor leaders have
long clashed over the matter of
bias in unions. Details of the
meeting were not Immediately
known.
Randolph told of Meany's lun-
cheon invitation after 20 national
executive board and rank-and-file
members Of the Negro American
Labor Council met with Meany
for two hours and 20 minutes.
Meany pledged to increase his
effort to halt racial discrimina-
ton by unions in cooperation with
the miitant-NALC.
The assurances were given the
delegation in what was calculated
to quiet the councils allegations
that the AFL-CIO is moving too
slowly on civil rights.
1t may indicate truce between
Meany and Randolph, NALC pres
ident Randolph has been pressing
for quicker action to end union
racial bias.
Meany moved slightly away
from his previous position that
the council was a disruptive group,
and also agreed to have the ALL
CLIO reconsider a censure against
Randolph on grounds that he
caused a rift between organized
labor and the Negro community.
But the move to heal the breach
between Negroes and organized
labor was not expected to prevent
a floor fight at the AFL-CIO con-
vention opening last week over the
NALC demands for adoption of a
fair racial practices code and ap-
pointment of a Negro to head the
AFL-CIO Civil Rights depart
ment.
