instance, Polinger and his four
business associates. October
was set as the date for the refer
endum.
With the city interested In
approximately $125,O0O of an
nual tax revenues which inclu
sion of the proposed develop
ment in the city would bring to
city Golfers; and further in
terested in holding development
controls over a large tract OF
land just over the city line, a
number of "hOrse trading" dis
cussiOns were held in an at
tempt to work out an acceptable
agreement.
Negotiations carried through
to the eve of the referendum
date and it appeared Polinger
and the city were in agreement
on five acres of commercial
zoning for the area along Ri
355; Sc acres of RS coming, and
the balance of the tract in ION
ing for construction of single
family dwellings.
At the last moment, however
vociferous private citizen and
business leaders objected to the
city'S hurry" in makinZ a ION
ing decision without public hear
ing. and without presence of a
Zonino man. city officials re
canted and set up a public hear
ing for Oct. %. This involved
postponing the date for the ref
erendum until Nov. ii.
In a surprise move, Polinger
apnealed II the Circuit Court
and obtained a quick rulino
which required the city to hole
the referendum Oct. as origin
ally scheduled. The vote by Pol
niger and his associates to stay
outside the city limits was
TO 0.
At that time, POlinger indi
Gated he would be Interested In

He said a favorable decision

passed a fair employment ordi-

after Negroes staged the first
racial demonstration here since
last summer.
The two actions apparently
we're not related, since the
demonstration was a series of
sit-ins at restaurants and
theaters which the ordinance
does not affect.
The ordinance, adopted by a
So vote, prohibits discrimina-

rested in the racial incident
There were indications. how
ever, that the sit-ins we've more
of a probing action than a de-
liberate provocation for arrest,
as in last summers "fill up the
Jail" campaign.
The Rev. Doyle Thomas,
president of the Danville
NAACP, said the sit-ins had
been approved with the under
standing that the students
would leave the restaurants
and theaters if asked to do so.
Mr.. Thomas said he did not
know why the students did not
leave, but he said he expected
they would do so in the future
Councilman John w. Carter
who led the flight against the
fair employment ordinance

way for numerous suits against
the city by Negro job appli-
