Negroes
Right Uphold By Appeals Court
Washington, Jan. 22. The US Court of Ap- peals, dividing 5-4, ruled today that eating places in the capital may
refuse service to negroes.
The majority held that laws
passed by the Legislative Assembly In 1872 and 1873 against racial discrimination cannot be enforced for these major reasons;
1. The anu-discrimination jaws weren't valid in the first place.
2. Since they were not en- forged for 70 years, they can orly be put into execution now by legislative action.
The ease grew out of the refusal of a John R. Thompson restaurant to serve negroms. Municipal authorities argued that the 19th Century law re- quired that they be served.
