TIME second graders of the Chester
brook School in Mclean, Va,
write a story together at the end of
every day. One day, when their teacher
was absent, the story began:
To-day is Oct 10. Il is a warm,
pleasant day. The sun is shining. Miss
Lane is away"
Julie Lane returned to school the
next day, and was Mortified. 81 was
worried that they really meant it,"
she says.
The children didn't mean they
were glad Miss Lane was away. Though
she remains strict and somewhat aIoOf
from her pupils. they constantly seek
her approval when they do something
they are proud of and her disapproval
when they are bad. When they 60 to
table in the back of the classroom in
groups of six for individual instruc-
ton, they fight sometimes for the priv.
lege of sitting next to her. Some of
them visit her at her home in nearby
Potomac Hills during week ends, ring
the bell, and are so excited when she
comes to the door they become tongue
tied.
Miss Lane is the youngest and some
would say the prettiest school teacher
in Fairfax County. But they don't hold
beauty contests for school teachers
there.
The daughter of Maj. Gen. Thomas
A. Lane, a District engineer commits
sioner from 1854 to 1857, Miss Lane was
graduated magma cum laude last June
from st. Louis University. She took
over her class at the Chesterbrook
School in September and celebrated
her 10th birthday October 4.
II don't think about 1t too much
because I'm used to being the young
est one always" Miss Lane says. She
skipped the second grade in Little
Rock, Ark, and the eighth grade in
Pheobus, Va.
Miss Lane attended Holy Cross
Academy here and entered the College
of Mount St. Vincent in New York City
at the age of Is. After her father be-
came commanding general of Fort
Leonard Wood in Missouri. she trans
ferred to St. Louis University. Her
family, used to the Army life of being
moved around every few years, likes to
stay together. But then, ironically,

Newman voluntarily made a
statement in behalf Of the Key
Club. He told the committee that
despite the equal rights statutes
and the fact that many Negroes
frequent some Of the leading bars,
night clubs and bars providing both
entertainment and dancing, the
only place the average Negro still
feels welcome at Is the Key Club.
Factors include the low cost Of
entertainment and drink at the
Key Club. The three other bars in
the city which cater to a Negro
clientele do not have dancing.
The editor claimed that thou
sands Of persons white or Negro
who have gone to the Key Club
through the years usually enjoyed
themselves and were protected in
that enjoyment by the manage
ment.
The police cases he said were
provided by q minority Of men
who went to the bar looking for
Illicit associations. Such indiv-
iduals can be found frequenting
bars all over the city, Newman
asserted.
The number Of men reported In

the police records who claimed
they met prostitutes in the South
of the Border Bar or the Key Club
usually went down there looking
for "a party" and the resulting
trouble, Newman asserted.
He said he saw no reason why
the entertainment pleasure Of
hundreds Of persons who have en-
joyed themselves at the night club
hearing topflight artists and dane
ing should be cut off because some
individuals, looking for illegal as
sociations, with a few women,
found them, and got into trouble
off the premises.
All bar owners have problems
because men looking for illegal
companionship head for taverns or
bars in Minneapolis as well as
they do In most cities In the ma
ton, the editor stated.
Newman stated the closing Of
the Key Club would throw Negro
heads Of IT families out Of work.
The Key Club is one Of the only
four bars in Minneapolis who en-
ploy Negroes in any other cap
acity other than as porters. Aside
from these places no Negro may
expect to readily obtain a Job as
musician, dancer, entertainer,
bartender, waitress, floor man or
check room attendant, the editor
told the committee.
One detective captain called to
testify on reported robbings stated
practically every bar in Minneapo-
lis can be found to have been men,
toned in complaints Of persons
who claimed they have been robbed
after leaving the drinking estab'
lishments.

Minneapolis Negroes in the
South Central district generally
are good customers and are dis
terminating buyers, a prominent
Minneapolis merchant told the Mic
ollet-Lake Business Assn Tuesday
at it's monthly luncheon at the
President Cafe.
George Johnston, of Johnston's
Appliances, 1929 Nicollet Av., and
now one of the owners Of the new
Lake Street Liquor Store told
members that most members of
the Negro community contiguous
70 the Nicollet-Lake Shopping area
had good credit, were careful
buyers and preferred well adver-
tised, well known, quality merch-
andise.
He also explained how a portion
of the gross receipts of the newly
reopened Lake Street Liquor Store
was to be spent advertising the
services available from other mer-
chants in the vicinity around the
Lake and Nicollet corner Of Mic
ollet and Lake.
Other speakers were Bud"

picion of carrying a concealed

because the place and five other
bars had been mentioned as hang
outs for prostitutes In a federal
court white slavery case.
Police were asked to provide
records on the six bars dealing
with prostitution, assaults, robber-
les and narcotic violations. The
Kew Club was the first establish

committee.
The committee heard police re-
ports on prostitution for two SEES
sions under guidance Of city at
torney Dabe Shama.
There was no evidence that the
Key Club owners or management
were involved in any Of the cases
except that In most police records
submitted there were statements
which alleged that contacts had
been made at the night club or
bar by arrested women.
Counsel for Henry Sabes, At

made objections to the statements
which were being made as having
nothing to do with the manage.

such statements were hearsay.

didates who had been nominated
for office.
The veteran NAACP worker
was also critical of the naming Of
committee chairmen composed of
almost all st. Paul branch men,

Smith contended that chairmen
should be representative Of five

pointment Of ten committee chair

2. Refrain from extending any
further aid under the program un-
til compliance is received, and
8. Refuse to approve a lending
institution or any other lender as
a beneficionary or revoke such
approval If previously given.
In all fairness, what the Ad-
ministration wants made clear is
that this is just a start and that 1t
don't consider the Presidents Or
der a panacea.
What it hopes for is what most
Americans, SO far, have refused to
accept:
That all Americans are entitled
to decent place to live regardless
Of the color Of their skin.

Development Group
To Meet Dec. q

Inc minority 1OuLn bIlplOy-
ment Project" which was organ
lied by the Rev. J. r. Holloway,
pastor of Zion Baptist Church, and
Lew Howells, Advisor on the
Board of Phyllis Wheatley Settle
ment House, is now known as the
"Northside Youth Development
Council"
The Council will meet Tuesday,
Dec. 4, at the Prince Of Glory
Lutheran Church, 43O Bryant Av.

the last overall meeting which
was held at Zion Church Sept. IL.
It was asked to give direction to
a four-point program designed to
salvage the potential manpower of
todays Youth. Meeting at Calvary
Methodist Church Sept. 20, the
group defined the word Minority"
as had been challenged by Larry
Harris, Director of Youth Develop
ment Planning Project under the
Health and Welfare Council.
Mr.. Harris wanted the word
minority defined as used in the
program. The committee defined
it as relating to all school drop
outs regardless Of race. At the
Oct. 30th meeting Of this same
group, plans were set-up for the
survey which will enable the
Youth Council to begin its actual
work. Toward this end, the group

of youth employment. A tentative
date for this survey to begin has
been set for Jan. '63.

Committee Chairman had this
group to decide which Census
Tract should claim the efforts at
this time. 1t was decided: all the
youth between the ages Of 10 to

Tract "a should be the first tar
get.
This Tract is bounded on the
North by Plymouth Av., on the
West by Humboldt Av., on the

or recognized as a problem area.

Meanwhile, in Atlanta, DR.. How
ard linn a white history professor
at Spelman college, a FREEDMAN
antly Negro private school, said a
study of Albany's racial struggles
indicated that the national gov
eminent has failed to protect the
liberties of citizens in the City of
Albany"
The Justice Department in
Washington declined to comment
on the 33-year-old Indignation
leaders remarks.
In criticizing the FBI's handling
Of the Albany situation, DR.. King
threw light on previous charges
made by Negroes that FBI agents
in the South are sympathetic with
white racists. These Negro spokes-
men contend that southern local
or regional FBI agents can't get
around their own prejudices en-
ough to impartially handle cases
which involve injustices against
Negroes.
DR.. King, Atlanta Baptist min
lister, president Of the Southern
Christian Leadership Conference,
and a leader in the Albany Move
ment, made the assertions during
an interview in the robing room Of
Riverside church, where he just
preached a sermon. Some 5000
persons filled the sanctuary and
overflowed into Christ Chapel and
the assembly hall to hear him.
During the interview, DR.. King
said:
zone Of the great problems we
face with the F.B.I. in the South
Is that the agents have been white
Southerners who have been influ-
enced by the mores Of the COM
munity. To maintain their status,
they have to be friendly with the
local police and people who are
promoting segregation.
Every time I saw F.B.I. men
in Albany, they were with the local
police force"

Laurie Pritchett, have Jailed hun

"If an F.BI. man agrees with
segregation, he can't honestly and
effectively investigate" DR.. King
declared.
Although Negroes have not been
roughly handled by the police in
Albany itself, he said there has
been "a great deal Of police brut-
atty in surrounding counties"

Bond Prices
Slide in Week

NEW YORK, June % (AP)
The bond markets took their
cue from stock prices this week
and declined.
Government bond dealers en-
phaSized that most Of the
weeks selling was among street
traders and that there was little
retail business and no heavy
selling pressure.
Most Government Bond losses
were limited to "a of a point or
less although two fell about u
point.
All sections Of the corporate
list retreated a bit, as measured
by the Associated Press average
Of so issues traded on the New
York Stock Exchange.
The drop in Governments
was the second in a row and
this was the first time there
had been consecutive weekly
losses all year. There has been
no advance in corporates for
six weeks, based on the AP
averages.
