During j the last war, Harlem was off limit to some soldiers. There are i some fir residential areas of course, as in any other communi ty, but tl ey do not predominate. Most of Harlem is a jungle. A « :ded number of Negroes have been placed in high posi-: hens, but the overflow of small town and rural people are lost in to the millions of souls who flock to the dumping ground of the world Rea! New Yorkers live in a small community and seldom patronize the public dance halls and honky tonks. Harlern is tough, °olice are even wary about patrolling its streets alone at! night, . hey walk in pairs You never know what might happen, I underneath that Harlem moon. Very few of the summer crowd that Hoed the area for school and. visits know/ much about Har-! iem. They are not there long enough to get into the doings of things that, take place on the banks of the Harlem River. Generally speaking, to get around in Harlem—you're slum- ’ ming—to move in downtown, you’re living, providing you can shell out the living price. To really see the sights of New York you’ve got to get out of Harlem, unless you’ll settle for Yankee!

COUNTY race cases. There are two cases in the federal court and : ] one on the verge of going to the U.

The local citizens of Halifax and North Hampton counties ‘ have been pouring it in the till alone, without remote citizens; , around the state realizing that it. is also their fight. Organizations and churches have rallied to out-of-state civil rights legal actions and adjustments, but a letter to SUITCASE STUFF reveals that the Northampton county situation has been by-passed by lead-1 era and organizations that could lend a helping hand in directing j a financial drive to support court action of the three cases now on ; docket. . . CASES: Lassiter vs Board of Elections—a case in; which a Negro citizen is bringing action against the illiteracy!] test, which is a hangover from the old grandfather clause which! j was applied mainly to Negroes—lvey vs Cole—an action against registrar Cole that refuses to allow’ a prominent Negro minister to s exercise his right to register in the primary—-The other case i« against Atty.
