RocioI Ruling Heortens
Negroes in Cambridge

duct or other offenSeS with
which Negroes have been
charged during the last seven
week ends Of demonstrations.
The demonstrations were held
continuously last week during
which rs were jailed, but were
released by Judge Henry under
terms Of Saturdays truce.
Judge Henry, after reading
a press account Of yesterdays
Supreme Court decision, COM
mented:
"As l read it, the decision
does apply to Cambridge. The
Legislature exempted Cam
bridge from the Public Accom-
modations Act it passed at the
last session and in so doing
they included US in the State
trespaSs law"
II Counties Exempted
Maryland has a treSpasS law,
which figured in The Supreme
Court ruling, but has no laws
requiring segregation. The
General Assembly earlier this
year enacted the public ac-
commodations act guaranteeing
equal service to Negroes, but
IL counties, including this
area, added amendments TO
exempt themselves.
Judge Henry also disclosed
he had called off a meeting
scheduled here this afternoon
with the Maryland Commits
sion on Interracial Problems
and Relations, appointed by
Gov. Tawes. Last week this
group had offered to intercede
in an attempt to help end the
friction.
A mass meeting by Negro
citizens is still planned for 8
pm. Saturday.
IF we don't have any prog
ress to report then, the dem
onstrations will be resumed, f"
Mrs. Richardson said.
In one other development,
Cambridge Mayor Calvin Now
bray last night announced he
was discontinuing the Equal
Opportunities Com mittee
which was appointed two years
ago to advise the city council
on racial relations.
The Mayor said that there
was no need for the committee
to continue because Judge
Henry had chosen a group oi
advisers on desegregation prob
lens, and two groups acting
simultaneously would muddy
the waters"
Some Negroes expressed the
belief that leaders in the white
community are tryinus 10 use
the Supreme Courts decision
as justification TO delay set
tlement Of their grievances pre-
sented at last Saturdays

conducted by most Washington
banks.
Mr.. Gunther said the ap-
parent interest rates of IL to
l8 per cent-charged in con-
nection with smaller loans
are based on a calculation Of
net interest rate on a declining
balance. Technically, he said,
the deposit account Sytem en-
ployed by local banks-in which
borrowers make monthly de-
posits to an account which is
later used to liquidate the debt
does not result in a declining
loan balance.

The Senator said that he is
unable to reconcile "the interest
rate apparently charged by the
commercial bank sponsoring

quirements OF the laws of the
District Of Columbia.
Therefore, l would like a
specific opinion from your
office as to whether or not the

this commercial bank is in ex-
cess of the interest rate per-
mitted by the laws Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia"
The Senator said he has also
received complaints that "the
usual charge for department
store credit" here is IL to 18
per cent per year. He asked for
an opinion as to whether such
rates of interest violate District
law.

CAMBRIDGE, Md, May 81.
The Supreme Court decision
setting aside sit-in convictions
was welcomed today by Negro
leaders here. They said they
stand ready to resume demon
STATIONS Saturday unless Gus
tomary racial barriers are VOL
UNFAIRLY removed by the white
community.
you can hold a people only
so long" said Mrs. Gloria
Richardson, chairman of the
Cambridge Violent action
Committee.
The Negro group she heads
agreed last Saturday to a truce
in its civil rights fight marked
by sit-inS and freedom marches
after responsible white leaders
agreed to consider five civil
liberties demands. Cambridge
has no laws requiring segrega-
ton. but by custom most facili-
ties have remained separate
for the races.
Yesterdays Supreme Court
decision overturning the con-
victions of sit-in demonstra-
tors in six other States caused
Circuit Judge w. Laird Henry,
tr, TO cancel q meeting Sched-
uled last night with restaurant
operators in an attempt to
persuade them to serve Negroes.
Will Study Decision
Judge Henry, who also had
named a half-dozen prominent
white citizens to advise him in
planned meetings with busi-
nessmen in other fields, said
none of these conferences will
be held-at least until he has
had an opportunity to study
the full text of the decision.
The court decided that a
city which makes segregation a
policy by ordinance or official
statements could not prosecute
Negroes for seeking service in
privately owned stores.
"Our problems extend beyond
that" Mrs. Richardson said.
Among demands submitted
by Negroes to Judge Henry and
his committee Saturday were
desegregation in public edu-
cation, adequate housing in the
Negro district and a higher
percentage Of employment Of
Negroes in business and indus
try.
The Supreme Court decision,
as interpreted here, strikes
down any local ordinances
seeking to deprive a person Of
his constitutional rights under
the equal protection clause Of
the Fourteenth Amendment.
States Attorney c. Burnham
Mace said that as far as he
knows, race does not figure in
any Of the local ordinances

Supreme Court Topic

The Supreme Court at High
Noon" will be the subject Of
an address by Judge j. Skelley
Wright, Of the District Of Co
lumbia Appeals Court at the
annual luncheon Of the st..
Thomas More Society of Amer
lea at 1880 pm. Thursday, at
the Mayflower Hotel.

held that treSpaSs convictions
violate equal protection Of the
law when they enforce segre-
cation required by State or
local law.
Thus, the high court reversed
trespass convictions in Green
vile, S. c.. on the basis that
such an ordinance left a lunch
counter proprietor mo choice
Of his own on whom to serve.
Going beyond this in a New
Orleans case, the court. in q
second opinion by Chief Justice
Warren, upset sit-in convictions
there even though there was
no State or local segregation
law.
The Chief Justice said city
officials had stated the city
would not allow Negroes to seek
desegregated restaurant service
and the statements had the
same result as q segregation
law.
But this was the limit Of
yesterdays rulings. The Chief
Justice said that the court was
not deciding the broader issue
Of free speech allegedly, In
volVed In the sit-in demonstra-
tions.
Private conduct abridging
individual rights does no vio-
lence to the equal protection
clause unless to some signifi-
cant extent the State (has be-
come involved" the Chief
Justice said.
Earlier Decision Quoted
He quoted this language from
an earlier decision but went on
to say that the State will not
be heard" to say a proprietor
would have acted the same
even without q segregation law.
The Chief Justice said that
when a law compelS racial
discrimination and State GRIM
inal processes enforce this. the
result is . "palpable violation |
Of the Fourteenth Amendment"
that cannot be saved"
Justice Douglas. In a con-
curing opinion in the New
Orleans case, went beyond the
majority to say that State
supervised places Of public ac-
commodation can not operate
on q segregated basis.
When the doors Of q busi-
ness are open to the public,
they must be open to all re-
gardleSs Of race If apartheid is
not to become ingrained in our
public places" Justice Douglas
said.
Justice Harlan concurred in
the result in the pace-Setting
Greenville case, but on the
limited ground that there was
evidence the proprietor had
based his action on a Segrega-
ton law.
He said he could not agree
with the majority that the
mere existence Of q segregation
ordinance rendered State en-
forcement Of trespass laws un-
constitutional, irrespective of
its influence.
The Justice stated that the
concept Of federalism involves
recognition that there are areas
of private rights upon which |
the Federal power should not
lay a heavy hand. :"

From Mrs. C. M. T., Washington
You have a problem with
your pet that can easily be
taken care of. Simply go to
the butcher and ask him for
an old-fashioned soup bone.
Boil it slowly for about two
and a half hours-just in
plain water, or add some
vegetables to make him a
tasty soup.
Cool the bone. but run 1t
through plenty of hot water
first to eliminate the grease.
Give 1t to him and you will
be surprised what that bone
will do for him. Almost all
dogs are cutting teeth at this
age, and If people cnly knew
what such a bone could mean
at this stage they would be
amazed.
They chew on it most Of
the day. 1t must be kept
clean, So wash it frequently.
My puppy took it at once
and has never given me any
concern since about what she
might destroy next.
Try it. Good luck.
