Appeal Ky.
Bus Segrega¬
tion
CINCINNATI, Oct. 20.—An
peal in the case of
Whiteside against the Southern
Bus Lines Company was
this week before the Circuit
of Appeals here by attorneys for
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People.
Miss Whiteside was forcibly
ejected from a bus enroute from
St. Louis to Paducah, Ky., wher
she refused to move to the res*
of the bus as requested. The Uni¬
ted States District Court in Pa¬
ducah held that the regulation of
the bus company requiring Ne-
groes to fit in the rear was a reas-
onable regulation and that Miss
Whiteside’s refusal to comply with
the regulation was grounds
her removal from the bus. The
NAACP attorneys in appealing
case maintained that the bus com-
pr.ny’s regulation was
able and could not be enforced by
either federal or state agencies
without violating the
nl rights of the plaintiff.
The case was argued by NAACP
5-B—Mrs. Solomon: Our
paper is out and we’re' very

’apers were mailed to each prin-
ipal, anil each fifth grade class
I in the city, and to several friends.
'■ Papers were also circulated in the
j community. Members of the com¬
| mittee visited two community
churches and carried papers.

Former segregation of Negroes
in New York was “to save Negro
passengers possible enibarrass-

South," railroad officials explain-
j ed. The road, they said, was merely

by not compelling Negroes to

In some quarters it was feared
t that Lie railroads would run into
I trouble at some stops in the South
; where lceai inspectors have the
■power to board trains and arrest
Negroes for violation of local seg-
■'gation laws.
The action of the Pennsylvania
railroad was taken as a result of
(barges of discrimination filed
with SCAD last April. Said Ar¬
thur W. Wallander, director of
the Mayor’s Committee on Unity:
“I am happy over the final de-
te* mination of this matter, as
there is no place in our country
for unjust discriminatory prac-
tices - This is a fine example
