ST. PETERS AME

Sunday was Communion Day at
st. Peters Church and also the
day when all new members are
welcomed publicly and given the
right hand of fellowship. This was
done at the evening worship hour
and Evangelist Ma title Boyd
brought very appropriate mes
sage ably assisted by the Mems
Chorus and the Youth Choir. Five
new members joined our fellow
ship and were given their choice
of serving in whatever place they
felt best fitted to serve. Usher
Board No. 2 was in charge of fel-
lowship in the dining room. Mrs
Lucille McAdams is chairman of
this group and she and her COM
mittee made all feel welcome.
Pastor Johnson gave the mes
sage of the morning-'More Rea-
sons Why We Consume" Scriptur-
al background - Matthew 27:15
Just as it was a custom to release
a prisoner at certain feasts, the
Communion synnbohzes that GUS
tom by the communicates releas-
ing their guilt feelings and re-
ceiving strength to resist moral
weakness. Said he, I'VE have feast
ed to remind ourselves of our free
dom and liberty in Christ. 1t Is
very dangerous to get to the place
when we no longer feel a sense of
guilt. Thru the shed blood of Christ
we can become new creatures in
Christ.
Music was furnished by the Sen
for Choir, Mrs. Dorothy Sims, or
ganist and directress and soloist
Louis Zachary and a selection by
the Cantinos, Miss Marlene Allen,
directress.
The midweek Church Conference
was well attended and interest was
high as the pastor explained in de-
tail his program for the year. A
new budget was set up for the en-
sueing year and all loyal members
are urged to understand and sup
port it.

oluner unenrOrCeADle OF an INVASION
of individual rights, some 80 states
with 70% Of the nations popula-
ton already forbid such discrim-
ination. And, in general, Negro
leaders are pleased with the effec-
tiveness Of the state laws.
There are some states where
the laws aren't worth the paper
they are printed on, but on the
whole the state statutes are work
ing out very we'll" says Robert L.
Certer, general counsel for the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement Of Colored People.
Were delighted at how closely
most Of the people concerned have
been abiding by them"
Moro City Ordinances
AS might be expected, state laws
against discrimination in public
accommodations are concentrated
In the North and West. Not a
single Dixie state has adopted such
legislation. But in some states
which have balked at enacting
such laws, cities have adopted
measures. Among them are st.
Louis, FL Paso, Wilmington and
Louisville. Tulsa officials are con-
sidering passage Of an ordinance
against discrimination in public
places soon.
Most states and cities have set
up elaborate enforcement machin-
cry to back UP their statutes, al
though they usually try to settle
disputes by private negotiation be-
fore taking sterner measures. In
New York, where anti-discrimina-
ton laws are among the most
stringent in the country, the state
Commission for Human Rights
generally seeks to persuade a bus
inessman who appears guilty Of
discrimination bo mend his ways
before it takes borcefm action.
For example, not long ago a
young Negro couple from New
York City decided to take a brief
vacation at q resort motel near
Albany, NY. They made reserva-
tons by phone and drove to the
motel. But when they arrived the
owner turned them away.
Incensed, the couple complained
to the Human Rights Commission.
After a talk with commission Of
ficials, the motel owner agreed TO
pay the Negroes $3.50 as compensa-
ton for their troubles. He also was
required to display a commission
poster stating his motel abides by
the New York law banning dis
elimination in public places.
If a New York businessman
ballks, he Is summoned before
public hearing Of the commission.
If bias Is definitely established, the
rights group can order it halted
and can use local or state courts to
insure compliance.
Quiet Settlements In st. Louis
Most violations are settled quiet
Iy away from any court. Business
men generally shrink from a pub
lie airing Of their violations" says
w. ]. Duford, an official of the st.
Louis Council on Human Relations.
The council has had TO go to court
only once since the city adopted a
public accommodations ordinance
in 1851. In that instance, the Of
fender - a tavern owner who re-
fused 10 serve Negroes - was
fined 500. Nearly 100 other COM
plants have been settled without
court action, according to Mr.. Du-
ford.

businessmen often prefer public ac-
commodations legislation to vol
untary desegregaton, move some
fear would cost them white trade.
Comments John de ]. Pemberton,
Jr., executive director of the Amer
lean Civil Liberties Union: ''The
businessman who's been afraid to
stand out by desegregaIting on his
own can safely say to adverse pub
lie opinion, Look I had to. It's the
law"
An amusement park operator in
one Midwestern city went so far
as to privately request that the
local rights commission bring him
before a public hearing over his
refusal to integrate a swimming
pool at the park. HE wasn't
averse to integration, but he didn't
want to leave that impression"
explains a commission official.
After the show Of resistance, the
park operator was forced" to
bow to the commissions wishes.
Courts Uphold Laws
Though Southern legislators are
attacking the Federal bill as an
unconstitutional infringement of
private property rights, state
courts have upheld public accom-
modations laws. In Kansas City,
for example, one big restaurant
owner filed a test case attacking
the constitutionaity Of the city
ordinance banning discrimination,
but the Missouri Supreme Court
ruled in favor of the city. In gen.
eral, state courts have taken the
view that any curtailment of prop
erty rights resulting from public
accommodations laws is outweigh
ed by the public good" inherent
in anti-bias legislation.
To be sure, discrimination in
public places has not been wiped
out in states and cities with public
accommodations laws Many bust
nessmen still resist integration, al
though they don't cite race as the
reason for not admitting Negroes.
Dick Williams, a young Negro
member Of the Congress Of Racial
Equality in Chicago, recently en-
tered South State Street burles-
que house on the heels of two
whites in sport shirts. The whites
were seated, but Mr.. Williams was
told 1t was now evening" and he
would have to have a tie. Funny
how night falls so suddenly, isn't
it? I thought Of getting tie and
coming back, but I just didn't
bother" says Mr.. Williams.
New York has had trouble with
defiant BARRIERS. One in Nassau
County, a suburban area on Long
Island, wanted IS to curt a Negro
boys hair; the usual rate for
youngsters was IS cents. The shop
posted a sign saying: "Kinly hair
cuts-$5." The Human Rights
Commission brought court action
to halt the discriminatory practice.
In Washington, DC, too, BARRIERS
are giving officials headaches. The
Commissioners Council on Human
Relations Is now considering ask
ing for the power to lift licenses
of barbershops that won't cooper
ate, a measure such commissions
aren't empowered to take.
One reason for concern: Embarras-
sing incidents between African dip
lomats and BARRIERS who refuse to
cut ther hair.
A number Of anti-discrimination
statutes have been on the books
since the reconstruction era, but
