Organizer Tells Youth To Activate Miss Claire Johnson, regional youth chairman of the National Association for Advancement of Colored People, urged Oregon youth to support the civil rights measure now before Oregon legislators in a speech here last Friday at the Central library. The University of California graduate student told the Portland NAACP Youth Council to "unite yourselves and make your voice heard along with that of your parents." Miss Johnson told the group of young people to take advanatge of educational opportunities while in high school and to get adequate high school counseling. She cautioned them against passing up "hard" subjects. "Don't be fooled; you are not getting away with anything," said the youth organizer. Urges FEP Use Noting that Oregon had an FEP law, fair employment practice, Miss Johnson urged the Oregon youths to use it. "Before you complain, be sure you can deliver the goods," she cautioned.

The meeting will begin at 3 o'clock in the auditorium of Benson high school, with an estimattion of 2,000 being present. The theme "Accent on Youth" will be approached through a panel discussion lead by six college students representing Marylhurst, Portland State, University of Portland, Reed and Lewis and Clark college. Gary Ring, student body president of Benson high school, will give the welcoming address followed by Richard Bogle presiding over the panel. The team will discuss how youth looks at democracy. To further stimulate the discussion, two college foreign students will tell how America looks through foreign eyes. A TV set, which is to be given to the person or organization with the largest new membership roster over 25, will be displayed at the meeting. Refusal of Sea Hag to Serve Negro Brings Interference From Policeman An American citizen by birth, Benny Webb, 7516 NE Everett street, walked into the Sea Hag tavern, 2401 NE Union avenue, recently and was refused service on the premises by the barmaid in what seemed like another case of racial prejudice. The incident turned out to be more than just a racial one to Webb, however, when he returned home to find that an anonymous caller had told his father over the phone that "he had overstepped his bounds and would be dead within 48 hours." Webb related this story to the Portland Challenger. He and a: friend, Pat Patterson, walked into the tavern shortly before 10:30 p.m. and asked for service. The barmaid told him that she could give them drinks to take out but couldn't serve them at the bar. Man Interferes According to Webb, a stocky man sitting near them, apparently a patron, immediately entered the conversation and, placing what looked to Webb like a police badge on the counter, using good English but talking forcibly, said, ''You heard her, only to go." Ignoring the intruder, Webb attempted to continue his conversation with the woman, inquiring as to why he and Patterson were refused service, but the man walked toward him and demanded his identity. Webb said he gave the man one of his business cards, but when he attemptE>d to get a better look at the badge the man replaced it in his pocket and refused to identify himself. The unidentified man asked Webb and Patterson if they were from the Urban league and continued to take the conversation from the barmaid. When he agaln started toward the two they left the tavern without seeing the manager as to the reason they were denied service. Phone Call Made Webb claims that he and his companion talked in front of the tavern for about ten minutes. The call to his home came at 10:40 the same night and, according to Webb, no one in the tavern knew of his identity except the fellow who took his card. The following day the incident was reported to Capt. Eugene Ferguson of the pol~·e department and Webb was .old to return within a week to see what disposition had been made of his complaint. On returning to the police station a week later, Webb was told by Capt. Ferguson that they had located the man that interfered in his conversation with the woman at the tavern and that he was a detective on the Port:.and police force, alledges Webb, but said the detective denied m2'king the phone call. Webb Puzzled Webb says that he was told the incident had been placed in the personal records of the ',police officer involved and that the officer had been reprimanded.,Webb said the captain also mentioned that the same officer had been involved in a similar incident last fall. Webb accepted the captain's apparent investigation of the case but is at a loss to ur derstand the actions of the detertive, actions not normally expect€ 1 in the true line of duty, in handling such an incident. CIVIL rights legislation in Oregon is having rough going. Every citizen can support this measure in some way. Letters should be written to the representatives in Salem urging their support of Senate Bill 169. Read late civil rights developments on page two of your Portland Challenger. J. Th OS AddrtOsses Loc UL Julius A. Thomas, director of industrial relations for the National Urban league, told the Urban league of Portland Thursday mgr.t at their meeting in the YWCA that "we have licked two of our toughest problems." Thomas stated that the first problem was the idea that Negroes and whites could not be placed at the same job level without creating race trouble. The second problem licked had to do with the idea that skill and race are related. Thomas reported that the National Urban league's commerce and industry council has done much to improve the lot of Negro workers. This council works on the people who make policy in industry. The council listed 30 men, a cross section of industry and business, and went to work on them. At first it wasn't too easy, for the businessmen didn't want to associate themselves with the Urban league. But finally the council got these businessmen to agree that this is a national, not a Negro problem Thomas said that now the Urban league is doing day-to-day programming with some 150 major corporations, making studies of plant management. He warned that Utopia for the Negro worker is not just aroupd the corner and that no one can estimate the effect which could arise if defense spending is cut back. I He stated that with all the technological a d v a n c e s being made the Negro ooes not have the technical knowledge needed in industry today. To illustrate his point he said that out of the 26,- 000 engineers who will be graduated from colleges and universities this June, only 110 will be Negroes. On the sunnier side he said that Kentucky graduated a Negro, the first to get a degree from an accredited engineering school in the south. - .... .__,.. __ ,...........

I SUBSCRIPTION RATES 10 Cents per copy ~ 26 $2.50 per year Individual Freedom Oregon's proposed civil rights law, Senate Bill 169, is at present in the House Committee of State and Federal Affairs. Already the Senate has passed the bill by a vote of 21-9. In order to get a "do pass" from the house committee, a commit- ' tee of seven, the measure \ffiUSt have four votes. Reports from Salem are hot very encouraging. Oregon's try at basic civil rights legislation is traveling a rocky road. This civil rights business is going; to have rough going and it is going to take the work of all qecent minded citizens to see it passed. ) It is a sorrowful thing when a\democratic society lets itself sink to the depths of having to legislate and actually enforce fundamental human rights. Legislators who try to maintain segregated practices under the clo<:~.k of "individual freedom" are as dangerous to the Americar( society as all the Alger Hisses the House Un-American Activities committee can dig up. \ This fight for civil rights isn't just a fight here in our own back yard. This is a fight staged all o~er the country and the world where darker peoples have bee suppressed by whites for centuries. Such suppression is dan erous beyond imagination to the cause of world peace. Every man has the basic right of i~dividual freedom. He seeks and deserves the right of recogn tion, the respect of a human being. No law-making body has the moral or humanitarian right to relegate him to second-cl ss citizenship because of color, be it the legislators of Oregon r the Congress of the United States. Race prejudice can certainly be abat d when a law on the statute books affords fair treatment to II of the people. The mere fact that people will be allowed toi1associate with friends of their own choosing, not those of the roprietor of a restaurant, a tavern, a skating rink, etc., will as a matter of habit lessen race prejudice.

'Open' Golf Tourney Held SEATTLE, Wn., April 2-Robert "Bob" Wright and Wilbert Ponder, members of the Fir State golf club of Seattle, both carded 71s in the first city-sponsored 1links tournament in which non-white golfers were allowed to participate. The tourney, a so-called "wide open" sweepstakes, was the city's answer to sharp criticism of the Fir State club turned out from non-white golfers and sports editor Royal Brougham of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, for allowing city and county golf tournaments to be held on city courses and disallowing the competition of non-white golfers. For years the city courses have refused membership to nonwhites in city clubs. The city maintains that these clubs are in fact private organizations set up by interested persons. Although Negroes ·and other non-whites were allowed to play in the tournament, some Seattle golfers felt the tourney was an "out" taken by city park authorities to stem the tide of resentment from interested sportsmen who desire to see discrimination eliminated from city-owned courses for the unlimited field of competitors. Wright and Ponder topped th,~ Fir State entrants, but Ben Beasley carded a 76. Reverend Honored I The R~verend Lee 0.

Customarily, a minister is invited, as campus g1_,1est, to conduct the services. Reverend Stone deliv- entirely. More than two dozen members ered a series of lectures. The present status of the proposed civil rights ordinance is "touch and go," according to Bill Berry, member of the Oregon Committee for Equal Rights. Berry says that at least three of the members of the state and federal affairs committee are opposed to the bill and desire to kill it. Four of the committee members are willing, providing the bill is not killed, to sanction it with the' stipulation that a referral clause is added. The committee hearing will probably be held Monday or Wednesday of next week. The hearing will in all probability be a small informal one, not public. Citizens' Action Urged The OCER enlarged its membership to 72 local and state organizations during the past week with the admission of Oregon State League of Women Voters, City of Portland League of Women Voters and Oregon Farmers Union. Berry urged all citizens to write to members of the House of Representatives, especially the 27 that are opposed or uncertain to SB 169, and ask for passage of the equality measure. He stressed that a rocky road lies ahead for the bill and things are very difficult in regards to its passage at present. Berry said that actions taken this week by Oregon citizens may easily make the difference.

Page Four BY LONNIE HARRIS Challenger Sports Editor The ~tland Beavers opened the season at Wrigley field against the Los Angeles Angels. The Angels have been strengthenect by the return of Gene Baker, who had a brief try-out with the Chicago Cubs. Manager Phil Cavarretta wanted Baker to have another season of minor league ball to improve his ',)atting. Granny Gladstone and Frank Austin, Beavers' center fielder and shortstop, are certain starters for the opener. If needed in relief,' the Beavers ca '1 call on reliable Roy Welmaker ..md J ehosie Heard who toiled for :rictoria in the Western International league last season. Junior Gilliam, the sml)()thfielding second baseman t.he Dodgers acquired from Molltreal, has taken over that posfttion from Jackie Robinson. Manager Chuck Dressen has tried Ja1:kie at third and-first base. He is likely to open the campaign at third base over Billy Cox. Robinson is rated one of the best clutch hitters in the majors. If Gilliam can hit .275 during the season, it will help the defending champs considerably. PORTLAND CHALLENGER Easter hit a single to right. Larry loafed to second, without making any effort to continue to third, which he could have made easily. The reason for that is Doby and Rosen were battling it out for runs batted in title and Doby didn't want Rosen to drive him in. Manager AI Lopez took Larry out of the game for loafing. Harry Simpson found the stance that gave him the Pacific Coast league's home run and runs batted in crown. In his first 25 times at bat Harry banged out 13 hits, including three home runs. He has led the Indians in batting in spring training. Lopez is very pleased with Simpson's performances. Big Luke Easter said that if Simpson continued to hit he would give him a job as salesman in his sausage business. Jim Pendleton has been making it rather tough on Brooklyn since he was sold to the Braves. In two recent grapefruit games Pendleton hit three home runs and all against the Dodgers. In one game his homer enabled Milwaukee to beat the champs. At the first annual Pacific Coast League Baseball Writers' dinner held in L. A., Satch Paige, the fabulous pitcher for the ·St. Louis he admitted that he didn't know exactly how old he is. While warming up Paige told Clint Courtney, Browns catcher, to put a piece of gum wrapper down for home plate. In 40 pitches he split the wrapper in half and the catcher didn't have to move his glove (what control). Softball is getting into swing again and if you look around you will find such players as Art Shepherd, Bob Herndon, Frank Fair and yours truly getting into shape. Fair, who recently returned from the armed service, is trying out for the ~roduce Merchants along with Arl and myself. AI Rivers is on his vacation and is not certain which team he will pitch for. AI is rated one of the top pitchers in the league. · These are my own predictions for the coming season: American League-(1) Cleveland, (2) New York, (3) Detroit, (4) Chicago, (5) Washington, (6) St. Louis, (7) Boston, (8) Philadelphia. National League-(1) Brooklyn, (2) New York, (3) St. Louis, (4) Chicago, (5) Philadelphia, (6) Milwaukee, (7) Cincinnati, (8) Pittsburgh.

Caldwell Sandy Blvd. at 14th EA 4111 JEHOSIE HEARD With Robinson moving over to third base that brought several rumors about dissension on the May be Bevo regular team. That is nothing but a rumor reported Jackie during a statement to the press. Robinson admitted that he has slowed down a little and if a ball was hit down the th~rd base side and he didn't field it, people would say that Cox wou1~ have gotten it. Cox was rated one of the best glove men in the majors last season, although his batting was mighty weak. 1 Speaking of Gilliam. he has speed and is alert on the bas~ paths. In nine grapefruit games Junior ~if .300, made 18 assists and 14 putouts and started two double }!.lays with a single miscue. He bats left and right and the Dodgers expect great things of their rookie. S'l'EWAB.'1''S CLEANERS GIVE S&H GREEN S'1'AMPSI 3439 lll'.
