Negro Preaa International
RICHMOND, Va.—A suit wns en-
tered in United States District court
here last week by Airs. Swannie K.
Howard against the Kmporin lHner,
in Kmporia, Va., charging that the
restaurant had billed her and her
six children |11..'I0 for food which cost
bite patrons less than $4.
The complaint said she was charg-
ed $.".00 for three cheeseburgers, $2.70
for two barbecue sandwiches, $4.25
for bam and eggs, and $3.75 for five
soft drinks.
The incident occurred last July 22,
when the Howards passed through
Kmporia en route to Kinston, N. C.
Through her attorney, Henry L.
Marsh, II, Mrs. Howard contends
that the ballooned charges were part
of the restaurant's policy of discrim-
inating against Negroes' rights to
full enjoyment of places of public
accommodation under the 14th amend-
ment, the Civil Rights act of 1064,
and the commerce clause of the Unit-
ed States Constitution.
The case is scheduled to be heard
Sept. 23, set aside by the court as
"Civil Rights day."

altercation, Saturday morning, a 30-
yenr-old woman waa shot, and her
8i>-jr«ar-old bimbnnd wu •«»«!
booked for assault to murder, but the
district attorney's office reportedly
rejected the case.
Roth the man and woman at first
said that tha woman had shot her-
self, and ahe maintained that she had
tried to kill herself.
The' mai, Wwever, eventually
made a statement, \u which, j>olice
said, he admitted doing the ahooting.
A statement by a witness and
physical evldanos indicated that
shot had been fired through the door
of the bathroom, where the woman
had locked heraelf.
A bullet from a .22 calibre gun
struck her on the left side of the
head, just behind the ear. The alug,
however, did not enter the skull, but
lodged between the akiu and bone.
Her condition was described aa
good, but she was admitted to a
local hospital for observation.
From police accounts, the couple
became involved in an argument,
and the woman locked herself in the
bathroom.
The man fired through the door.

Blast Attempt
To Legalize Bias
Negro Tress International
LOS ANOEILE8 — The Rev. Ar-
thur Lichtenbcrg, presiding bishop,
ICpiscopal church In the United
States, and all four denomination bish-
ops in California, last ireek joined in
condemning Proposition 14, a pro-
posed amendment to the California
constitution that would repeal the
state's fair housing law, as un-Chria-
tion and legaliaed segregation.
The bishops said the amendment
would "give property righta prece-
dence over humA rights?'
The amendment, on whieh Callfor-
nians will vote on Nov. 3, would for-
bid the state or lta agenclea to In-
terfere in »ny way with the "absolute
discretion" of a property owner t<v
refuse to sell, ls.se- or rent to an^
one. .r.t
The immediate effect of tha amend-
ment, if adopted, weald ha to repeal
a law enacted last year forbidding
discrimination in housing. That law
waa authored and piloted through
the legislature by Bep. William B.
Rumford, • Negro member from Oak-
land.
The Episcopal church leaders point-
ed this out in their condemnation of
the amendment, saying It would
amount to legalising aggregated hous-
ing la tha nation'* moat populous
state.
In terming the amendment un-
christian, Blahop Lichtenberg aald:
