“As a result of the thought-

But when news that the am
bassador had been segregated
came out, worry and agitation
spread from Houston to Wash
ington. An international furore
was feared.
The State Department, in the
person of Secretary of State
Dulles, hastened to telegraph an
apology to Mehta. It also sent
an official expression of regret
to the Indian government at New
Delhi.
Mayor Roy Hofheinz of Hous
ton, offered an apology “in be
half of every citizen of Houston.”
Frank Mullen, manager of the
airport dining room, said he was
“terribly embarrassed and up
set by the unfortunate incident.”
Mrs. Alley, the restaurant
supiervisor, would not comment.
Witnesses of the incident said
yesterday Mrs. Alley explained
she thought the two Indians
were Negroes and said “The
law’s the law.”
Texas law forbids serving Ne
groes and white persons in the
same dining room. However,
the city of Houston’s contract
with the federal government for
operation of the airport contains
a ban against discrimination.

that while there he talked for

be sedition, make the most of
it!” he shouted.
Delegates crowded aroimd Dr.
Perdue and Braden after the
minister’s address and pledged
continued support in fighting
the conviction of Braden. Some
said they had protested or would
protest to Governor Lawrence
W. Barkley.
Braden, his wife, and five
other white persons were in
dicted for sedition after the
Bradens bought a home in
suburban Shively and trans
ferred it to Mr. and Mrs.

Here’s A Boy Going To G>llege
At least, Eldee “Butch” Brown, Jr.
has his goal set for a higher educa
tion. And he’s shooting for that goal
in-just the right way—by making reg
ular savings in'the Mutual Savings
and Loan Association.
Butch is just 12 years old and an
eighth grader (he’s the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Eldee L. Brown, 402 Lawson St.,
Durham) but he already knows some
essential facts about savings:
1. He’s smart *to put his money
where it brings him excellent returns.
Mutual Savings and Loan can invest
most of its funds in sound, steady-
paying home mortgages. It really
puts, money to work.
2. He’s smart to put his money
where he knows it’s safe. Mutu^
Savings and Loan is protected by
good management and strong re
serves. And the FSLIC insures sav
ings up to $10,000.
3. He’s snuurt to deal with friend
ly, experienced people. People who
Imow Butch, his parents, and this
commimity. People who are ri^t
here when they’re needed.
So it’s hardly surprising that smart
young people like Butch, with the
encouragement of his parents, are
putting more of their savings into
Mutual Savings and Loan. It can
mean college—or it can mean the ful-
ment of almost any kind of dream!
We recommend to all thrifty par
ents of Durham a systematic savings
program for your children. A profit
able habit is established—and pro
fits. from s£(vings will be secura. We
invite your call for information at
any time.
