Coercion Charged

He accused the Commission
Against Discrimination of resort
ing to what he termed Coercive
measures, (which l think are per
Sc both alien and inimical to the
letter, spirit, and the principles Of
the Constitutions of our Common
wealth and our country"
Siding with the majority was
Associate Justice Jacob J. Spiegel,
who said in a separate opinion that
on the contrary the Supreme Court
had not gone far enough.
He urged that the court uphold
all phases of the commissions
order, including provisions for an
injunction to prohibit discrimina-
ton.
He said he readily comedies
that legislation, in and of. itself,
cannot eradicate bias and preju-
dice from the minds of men,"
Perhaps the choice of tenants
by a landlord, he said, does not
constitute a personal bias. But, he
continued, discrimination based on
the hope of monetary gain and not
upon a personal prejudice is even
more reprehensible. In either
event." he wrote, Il find no ration
al excuse for such behavior"
In view of the fact that the
respondent Colangelo has question
ed the constitutionality of the COM
missions order, the issue might
be considered appropriate for ap-
peal to the United States Supreme
Court.
Mr.. Fowler, who is presently
renting an apartment in Cambridge
has indicated that he will not de-
eide Immediately whether to ac-
cept the Waltham apartment now.
He said he intends to await advice
and to see whether Mr.. Colangelo
will appeal the case to the federal
courts.

hind closed doors.
Deputy District Attorney Fred
Henderson said more than so wit
nesses will appear, including 30
police officers. He said the in
quiry might be continued this week
if testimony could not be COM
pleted
The County Commission on HUI
man Relations expressed hope"
that the grand jury will investi-
gate charges of police brutality as
we'll as facets of te Black Muslin
movement.
Says Trouble Heightens
Controversy following the April
27 clash between Muslims and po-
lice officers has served to height
en- rather than decrease tension in
certain quarters" the commission
said in a statement released by its
chairman, Hunt Lewis.
Charges by Negro leaders of po-
lice brutality together with the
police department publicizing its
virtual doubling" of the police
force in certain Negro districts
may together produce a regret
table effect" the statement said.
IF Negro citizens begin to 'eX-
pect' brutality in contacts with
the police, and if the police officer
begins to expect resistance by
any Negro he approaches in the
line of duty, a psychological situa-
ton can result in which both bru-
tally and resistance may occur
simply because both parties expect
it to occur"
While the Negro leadership may
deplore the goals of the Muslin
movement, the leaders may never
theless be concerned "lest certain
segments of our officialdom count
err the Muslin position with what
would appear to this leadership as
a threat to the entire Negro COM
munity," the statement said.

New Survey
Measures Negro
Buying Power

The Minneapolis Spokesman and
st. Paul Recorder this week pub
lished a QUESTIONABLE on income,
buying habits, and long-range buy
ing plans of members of the Negro
community in the Twin Cities.
This is the first phase of a study
aimed at learning more about the
score and nature of the Negro
market in this area.
Readers are asked to fill out and
return the QUESTIONABLE, which
will be found on page 5.
All responses should be anony-
nous.
These newspapers do not want
the personal data asked for in the
QUESTIONABLE to be identified as to
the families and individuals they
apply to, and will discard at once
any identification accompanying
the responses.
The information provided will be
used in connection with Spokes-
man and Recorder advertising pro-
grams, and will be made available
to organizations concerned with
fair employment, race relations,
etc.
Negro buying power is a fact
which has become of increasing
interest to the business community.
Judicious use OF this buying power
has already been a tremendous
factor in the campaign for equai-
ty Of treatment and especially Of
job opportunity for Negroes.
The questionable is being en-
ployed in preference to a poll-type
survey or a door-tO-dOOr canvass
because of the desire to respect
the privacy Of those surveyed, as
well as for reasons of economy. 1t
is expected that the response will
be general enough to produce re-
suits as reliable as the other types
of survey.

of the Muslin temple. WeeSe also
said he shot three or four" of
the six Muslims wounded in the
riot.
It took the jury % minutes to
reach its decision. One of them
told reporters the decision on the
death of the Black Muslin was
unanimous and without disagree
ment.
MusIims Decline To Testify
Eight policemen involved in the
melee testified at the inquest,
along with one special officer who
was at the scene.
Nine of the Muslin defendants
subpoenaed to the inquest declined
to testify on the advice of their
attorney, Earl C. Broadly.
Broadly said he was shocked
to learn from Weese's testimony
that Weese knew Stokes had no
weapon when he shot him.
Malcolm x, New York Muslin
leader, expressed his indignation
over the verdict.
Calls Killing Cold BIOOdeT
II sat and listened to officers
describe how they shot down I'M
armed men in cold blood" he said
"I listened to a man who admitted
he murdered a man in cold blood. u
IF the coroner's jury calls that
iustifiable homicide, as a religious
leader, I can only say that 1 am
thankful there is a God in Heaven
to give real justice when neces-
sary."
Since we did not get justice, we
will go into our temple and pray
to our God, who will give JUS
tice." In final warning, the Mus
linn spokesman said that disasters
would fall upon the guilty - that
Justice will come from God.

prehensive inquiry into the riot on

US. Negroes coIoniGIs?

Americans have long believed that this
country was never a colonial power. This
is true in the strictest sense of the word.
Moreover the eraser aspects of colonialism
do not show through the mores of race rela-
tiOns as a nation we can boast of rich Ne
groes in Georgia and rich Indians in Okla
hOma. But from the nationalist viewpoint,
the nature of economic, cultural and politi-
cal exploitation common to Negro expert
ence in the us. differs from pure colonial
ism only that the Negro maintains a formal
kind of halfway citizenship.-H. Cruise.

make accommodations available to
Maurice Fowler a Negro employed
as a contract negotiator at the Air
Force at Hanscom Field, Bedford.
Since Massachusetts is one Of
Is states with similar anti-discrim-
inaton statutes, civil rights groups
are hailing the decision as a major
victory.
Order Called EpochaI
Alan Gartner, Boston chairman
of CORE - the Congress of Racial
Equality - said, This is the first
time any state court has explicitly
declared illegal racial discrimina-
ton in entirely privately developed
housing"
Earlier decisions have banned
discrimination in public housing
and federally aided housing.
Massachusetts Attorney General
Edward J. Mccormack Jr., des-
cribed the decision as "epochal,"
praising its clarity and scope"
His office presented the states
case in court, which was brought
by the Commission Against Dis
elimination. The commission had
ordered A. J. Colangelo, owner Of
the 12O-unit apartment building,
and John Nahigian, its rental
agent, to provide accommodations
to Mr.. Fowler.
Mr.. Colangelo contended the
order amounted to an mConstitu-
tional taking of private property.
Mr. Nahigian maintained that
Mr.. Fowler had been refused an
apartment solely because he is a
bachelor.
One Justice Dissented
The lone dissenter on the high
court bench was Associate Justice
Paul G. Kirk, who took sharp eaS-
CeptiOn to the majority ruling.
He called the decision "a fragile
platform for this great leap for
ward"
Ending discrimination, he said,
is "a wholly desirable and social
objective"
But he strongly objected to the
1859 amendment to the law, which
extends characterization prac-
tees to include purely private
property.
Changing the law, he said, has
caused "a deprivation of one Of
the essential attributes of owner
ship and an invasion of a con-
stitutionally protected interest to
an extent which has never before
been attempted in this Common
wealth."

Minnesota political dOpesters
feel public relations conscious
Congressman Clark McGregOr
wants to win reelection in the
Third District handsomely be-
cause he has higher ambitions
politically.
Negroes buy what they want
and beg what they need" is a
charge often substantiated by the
manner in which Negro commun-
tiles turnout the land act during
the yearly NAACP membership
campaigns.
In st. Paul for the past four
weeks solicitors have been canvass
ing the Negro community seeking
NAACP memberships. In view of
the ills of race discrimination
viewed upon the average American
Negro during his lifetime, it could
be supposed that when an NAACP
campaign begins, there would be a
great rush to sign up.
That this is not so is one of
the paradOXes of the long fight
to secure first class citizenship
for a people who often are not
willing to pay the price by a
measIy So per year membership
in the NAACP.
After four weeks, the over
10000 st. Paul Negroes have taken
out exactly 815 memberships in
the NAACP! Some of those 815
memberships were as hard to get
as pulling hens teeth" Bailie is
told.
That this is a disgraceful ex.
ample of the Negroes willingness
ITO buy what he wants and beg
what he needs" is too obvious fol
comfort.
