Forsyth County Coroner B. M.
Long ruled Tuesday that Alfred
Smith, 25 year old father who
was severly wounded with a
knife wielded by his 35 year old
sweetheart, Mrs. Willie Mae
Brown, died of strangulation.
Smith' died at Kate Bittings
Memorla hospital Saturday fol

Mrs. Brown was formally
charged with assault with a
deadly weapon. She said Smith
was beating her and tried t«
make her cut herself.
Smith told the TIMES early this
week.
“I believe Lf he had received
the right aipount of attention,
he would be alive now,” she ad
ded.
Mrs. Smith inferred that the
hospital delayed giving her son
attention.
"I went to the hospital at vis

to three o’clock. I know he had
been there at least an hour prior
to the time that I arrived. I
stayed until three o’clock and he
had not received the sufficient

Greensboro In Second Try
To Abandon Gty Pooli
GREENSBORO
The city owned swimmingl
pools were auctioned off for the
second time here Tuesday in
less than three months.
Lindley Park pool, for white,
was sold for a high bid , of
$85,000 and Nocho park pool,
operated by the city for Negroes,
went for a high of $6,000.
The movement to sell city
owned facilities stemmed fromi
an attempt to prevent integra
tion of the pool. A group of
Negroes had requested the City
Council to abolish the segrega
tion policy in effect for the pools
last summer. Subsequeatiy, af
ter a series of public hearings,
the Council voted to sell the
pools.
The second auction here Tues
day became necessary when the
City Council declared that high
est bids offered in the first pub
lic sale were inadequate.
High bids of $75,000 by Je
rome Samet of Mt. Airy and
$9,550 for the Nocho pool by
Greensboro merchant Ralph
Johns were offered in the firsti
sale on April 8.
Highest bids on Tuesday’s sale
came from Dr. Richard Talia-
fero and Carrol Weaver for the
Lindley park pool and W. S.
Farrington, retired Southern
Railroad Car inspector for No
cho ^ark pool.
However, these bids must be
approved by the City Council
then confirmed by ]|^deral
Judge Edwin Stanley before tlw
city can relinquish ownership.
Stanley ruled last month thai)
the city had a right to n^ake
bona fide sal^ but agreed to
hold up confirmation for 30 days
to give a Negro group which
proteste4 the sale chance to plan
further action.
The protest against sale of the)
pool was lodged by the group on
the grounds that the city was
seeking a way to divert itseU
of the responsibility for compli
ance with federal law regard
ing segregated .public facilities,
"^e group contended that pro
posed sale could simply be ft
"paper transaction” to relieve
the city of technical ownershi{i| The Greensboro Pool Corpor-
of the facilities.
'The Lindley Park pool,
bought by Dr. Talielerro and
Weaver for the Greensboro Pool
Corporation, Is to become a pri
vately owned public pool foc
whites if the Council approves
the sale.
ation was established last fall
by a group of white citibens to
take over operation of the pool
it it were sold.
Farrington, highest bidder for
the Negro pool, said he bought
the pool for himself and had no
immediate plans for its opera
tion.
New Ruling Asked In Arkansas
LITTLE ROCK
The right of the State of
Arkansas to demand the mem
bership lists of NAACP units
was challenged in the new
chambers of the seven-judge
Arkansas Supreme Court here
this week in the first of a series
of cases involving the Associa
tion’s right to function in the
state.
In argument before the Court
on May 26, Robert L. Carter,
NAACP general counsel, o
New York, and George Howard,
Jr., of Pine Bluff, contended
that a lower court order grant
ing the state the right to inspect
NAACP records was a denial to
the Association and its members
of freedom of speech and assem
bly in violation of the United
State Constitution.
The case arose last fall when
Arkansas State Attorney Gen
eral Bruce Bennett brought suit
against the Association charg
ing that for seven years the or
ganization had failed to pay
franchise taxes. The court grant
