CHARLOTTE The first round in a court bat tle to determine whether Ne groes are to be allowed to play golf on the Bonnie Brae Course, a city owned and operated course was won by NAACP Attorneys in Judge William T. Hatch’s Civil Superior Court on Monday, November 10th. On December 12, and 13, 1951, 16 Negro gpUers applied for ad mission to play golf on the Bon nie Brae Golf Course, which is owned and operated by the City of Charlotte, through its Park and Recreation Commission. Each was denied admlssiop.' On De.cember 20, 1951, a peti tion on their behalf was present ed to the City, the Commission, the Superintendent of Parks and Recreation, and the Professional Manager of the Bnnie Brae Golf Course, charging that the denial of admission was a consequence of petitioners’ race and color, and demanding the cessation of racial discrimination in the admission of Negro players on a non-segregated basis. On January 7, 1952, the Com mission filed suit in the Superior Court of Mecklenburg County allegeing that the properties up on which the course is situated were conveyed to the Commis sion by deeds restricting the use of the property to white persons and providing that non-obser- vance of such restrictions would cause the property to revert to the granters. The 16 petitioners were joined as defendants in this suit. ’The Commission asked that the Court declare whether use of the cohrse by Negroes would cause a reverter. In April, 1052, the 16 petition ers filed an answer in the Com mission’s suit urging that the deed provisions, and concomit ant ordinances of the City accept ing the property on the condi tions offered, are invalid and on- enforceable and that no revarter (Please turn to Page lUgbt) Charles McCormick, New Tork City, is shown receiving an award as “All-time, Ali- Aronnd Athlete” at Living stone College dnring half-time ceremonies at Homecoming game.

Commenting on the refusal of the United States Supreme Court to review an appeal by the Atlantic Coast Line from a lower court decision hold ing that segregation of pass engers is an undue burden on interstate commerce, Mr. Mar shall said this decision, toge ther with previoas decisions striking down segregation on interstate motor vehicles and in dining cars, “should be enough to break down segre gation in all interstate trans portation.” j Past experience, Mr. Marshall 1 said, has nevertheless made it ' appear “doubtful that the south- J em railroads will follow the law , as set down by the Supreme Court.” He added that the legal rUetsme staff at the Assoglatlgn, before taking further legal ac- ^ tion, would give the railroads , until the first of the year to re vise their rules “so as to prohibit all segregation in the coaches as well as the Pullman cars and dining cars throughout the South."

Judge Paige Sits In Lewd Picture Case NEW YORK The fate of Samuel Chap man, leading dress manufac turer accused of possessing lewd pictures, was decided this week by Judge Myles Paige famed Negro jurist. Judge Paige, concurring in the opinion of Justices Emilion Uniez and Edward Thompson, acquitted 56-year-old Chap man, but gave him quite a ton gue lashing. Said Judge Paige, "He’s a diseased person with low morals to keep all that stuff in the house. Although, the law doesn’t make It a crime to keep it, its possession puts him in the category of one without morality and without decency.” For the court to have gotten a conviction on Chapman, it would have had to prove that the manufacturer actually ^showed ttre ubBcene pictui-es publicly. But he claimed that he never did show them to his numerous friends in the radio, television and fashion world. Judge Paige, as well as his fellow jurists, could give lit tle credence to the testimony o£ the two models, Nancy Haw kins and Joan Douglas, who testified that (Chapman had presented thetrf with pieces of silk torn from a bolt imprint ed with tiny figures in forty- eight erotic postures. liigh schools throughout the State will participate in a Re- source-Use Education Sympos ium during the morning session.
