Duluth NAACP Is
Victorious; Win
Housing Point

Duluth, MINI. - An attempt to
harass a Negro and his family who
had purchased a lot and were
building a home in a previously
all-white neighborhood by refusing
his petition for enough space to
build a safe garage failed last
week when the Duluth branch of
the NAACP fought the matter out
with the city planning board and
won a partial victory.
The planning board granted
Mathew Carter, the homeowner
permission to construct a house
with a setback building line re-
duction Of 71a feet instead of the
Is feet for which he petitioned.
Carter and his wife, Helen 6
teacher in the Duluth public
schools had trouble purchasing the
lot he now owns. Originally he
offered owners of the lot $1,700
When it was discovered he was
Negro, his earnest money con-
tract was returned with the excuse
the lot had been sold.
When white friends checked the
situation they found that the lot
had not been sold. Later a white
minister purchased the same lot
for $1,000 and resold it to the
Mathews.
When 1t was found that a Negro
family planned to build a $25, ZOO
house on the property, a petition
was circulated in the neighborhood
asking that Carter's petition for
a concession in connection with
the setback, be denied. The first
name on the petition against Car
ter, was that of the city engineer.
Carter reported the incident to
the Duluth NAACP whose legal
redress committee chairmanned by
Attorney Newton Friedman made
representations to the city council
the mayor and the city planning
commission. According to Donald
Lewis of st. Paul, chairman of the
Minnesota-Dakota NAACP Con-
ference harassment of the Carter
family's building program has
halted.

Varying Tactics
What will this mean in prac-
tice? Not necessarily a spread Of
the tactics used by Southern Ne
groes. While many Negroes and
their leaders do favor Birming-
ham-style m ass demonstrations
and street parades, many others
agree with William Powell, a
Cleveland Negro, who doesn't "see
that they're doing any real good"
Rather, the new ferment means
a series Of campaigns using tao
tics ranging from quiet pressure
through boycotts to occasional
demonstrations. The goals will
vary somewhat from city to city,
but in general they focus on better
housing, education and above all
jobs.
In Philadelphia, for instance,
Negroes are flooding the Bell
Telephone Co. Of Pennsylvania
with applications for such jobs as
lineman and deskman. IF there's
no compliance" says Cecil B.
Moore, president Of the Philadel-
phia chapter Of the National AS
sociation for the Advancement Of
Colored People, we'll have to re-
sort to non-violent coercive meth

Of simultaneous phone calls to in
formation In some distant city such
as San Francisco, payment of tele-

Two things I clearly remember
about that program were the COM
mentator's critizing Nkrumah for
doing things he (the commentator)
said Nkrumah ought not be doing
and the glee I saw in the faces of
the Ghanaians because Nkrumah
was doing whatever it was the
commentator said he shouldn't do.
At that time I was in college
and yet I did not know it is docu-

of 20 million Africans (who be-
come American Negroes) in this
country originally come from the
Africa, that is now called Ghana.

American LegiOnnaires Confab:
Sheraton Manager
Factor In Legion
Convention Move

New Orleans, La. - This city
lost the 1868 American Legion
convention and thousands Of dol
lars in convention spenders' money
because Of the bias and prejudice
Of a Sheraton hotel manager.
In April, James Farmer, nation
al CORE director, wired James
Powers, national commander of
the American Legion that If the
hotels here continue to discrim-
mate when the Legion holds its
convention, CORE would resort to
a major-scale nonviolent action
campaign.
Legion Cancels New Orleans
Today, Legion headquarters in
Indianapolis announced that plans
to hold the convention in New
Orleans had been cancelled because
Of the inability Of local Legion
naires to guarantee unsegregated
facilities for delegates.
The Legion announcement came
after a meeting of local hotel
owners which decided to continue
segregating despite the decision
Of a special three-judge federal
court invalidating the states hotel
segregation law. The case was in
itiated by James Mccain, CORE
organization director, after being
refused a room at the Hotel Or
leans last November.
Sheraton Manager Espouses
JimcrO
At the hotel owners meeting,
there was some sentiment for
adopting a new policy, but the
espoused most strongly
by Mr.. Goday, manager of the
local Sheraton hotel, prevailed.
Following the Motel owners
Farmer wired the Sher-
atom Corporation headquarters in
Boston: This will certainly cost
the Sheraton hotel chain patron
age in every city in America. We
in CORE will not stand idly by,
while Sheraton hinders the pro-
gress of Negro Americans"
The Sheraton Ritz, a new hotel
in Minneapolis is scheduled to open
in a few days. 1t is owned by the
same corporation which operates
