JUDGE FINES CAR POOL
EACH
TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Oct. 20—
I he 21 members of the Negro
Inter Civic Council were fined
$500 each and sentenced to 60
days in jail, the sentence being
.imposed by City Judge John
Rudd for what tic termed “an
illegal transportation system.’’
The charge; against the de¬
fendants arose from operation
of a pod to provide transpor¬
tation for Negroes boycotting
the city buses in protest against
segregated seating.
The jail sentences were sus¬
pended and the 21 car drivers
and leaders of the boycott were
placed on a year’s probation.
The special city prosecutor,
Mark Hawes, told the court that
if the council members were
acquitted, licensed transpor¬
tation systems would be in
serious jeopardy.”

housewives here who drive their
Negro maids to and from work,
due to this city’s Negro bus 'boy¬
cott, found themselves targets of
anonymous phone ealls and threat¬

The paper said most phone ealls
were made after midnight and
consisted of the following single
icnlmee: ‘‘Isn’t if about time you
Writ to get*your nigger Maul?”

who are still hauling their Negro
maids. This must be stopped.
These people would appreciate a
rail from you, day or night. Let’s
let them know bow wr feel about
