C., for insisting upon their rights to play golf on a golf course which was built par- tiallj' with Federal funds. The case irtvolved Phillip Cooke, Leon Wolfe* -George Simkins, Jr., Joseph Stii/^jivent, Samuel. Mur ray. and £Uijah H. Herring, who wert fodtul guilty of “trespass ing” upon the property of the “Gillespie Park Golf Course” in February 1956 by the Municipal County Court of Greensboro. Arguing in behalf of the ap- peljants, was J. Alston Atkins of Winston-Salem who pointed out that the case was one where “the question of racial discrimination was very much involved.” This contention seemed to have received the sanction of Chief Justice Earl Warren who ques tioned the State’s attorneys on the finding of the District Court.. These findings set forth in the lower court’s opinion said in part: “The evidence does clearly show that white people were allowed to play by paying the greens fees without any questions and with out being member*. When Negro^ asked to play, they were told that they would have to be members before they could play and it clear ly appears that there was no in tention of permitting a Negro to be a member or to allow him to play, solely because of his being a Negro.” These words written by Judge Johnson J.

Carolinian, were contrary to the State’s contention that the course was only open to members of the club who had been approved by the board of directors and paid their $60 dues, and their invited guests. Arguing the case for North Ca rolina. were the Attorney General of that state Malcolm S. Seawell, and the assistant Attorney Gene ral, Ralph Moody. They claimed that the Negroes walked up to the entrance of the course, paid their 75c fees and pushed on in ^al though they were instructed that they could not play there. When they refused to leave they were arrested for trespassing, convict ed, and sentenced to IS days in jail each. The State of^cials claimed that this was a privately owned golf course which had been leased by a corporation and developed at the cost of $100,000. They made no mention that this course was originally' built with 65 percent of Federal Fun^s, and that an agreement had been made with the Federal Government spe cifically stating “that the city of Greensboro would maintain and operate said golf' course for the use and benefit of the publec dur ing the useful life of said golf course.” WELCOME* ’ * 92 annual N.
