Stores Use
Ne«ro Mannequins
In Windows
Negro Press International
WASHINGTON—A local depart-
ment store has joined the growing
number of stores across the coun-
try now using Negro mannequins in
wii low displays.
S. Kanu and Sons unveiled n win-
dow last week featuring a pretty
little Negro girl mannequin, along
with white child mannequins in a
back-to-school display. The show win-
dow was arranged without any ad-
vance funfure, and without any ad-
verse reaction later.
According to the P. G. Williams
company, Manhattan, one of the lead-
ing manufacturers of department
store dummies, the first store to use
the Negro models was Bamberger's
of Newark, N. J., which placed its
order last January. The first four
models produced went on display in
June.
Once the step was r«i»orted in trade
publications, orders heguu to come in
from all parts of the country for
similar mannequins. The three main
distributors for mannequins now hare
orders from stores in New York City,
Rochester, Hartford. Boston, Wash-
ington, Pittsburgh, Detroit. Minneap-
olis, Chicago. St. Louis, Greensboro,
N. C.t Los Angeles, and Portland,
Ore.
The mannequins are displayed In
integrated situations, and have been
used by stores of ull types. Bam-
berger's has a large Negro clientele,
and has often used live Negro mod-
els. On the other hand, Bergdorf
Goodman's, which used Negro chil-
dren in its displays opening on Aug.
27, is an exclusive Fifth avenue store
with prices too high for all bat a
very few Negroes.
Martin Stuart, public relations di-
rector for Bamberger's, said that use
of the mannequins had nothing to do
with the civil rights movement. The
move was made out ot consideration
for the store's Negro customers and

IFirst Day Enrollment
410 Leso Thorn, 1963
WITH the lone exception of the senior bigh school, "first
day" enrollment at the predominantly Negro public schools
Spanking .O the member- of th, was considerably under that of 1083, M lehool doors formally
United Transport Service Employees opened, Monday.
Negro parochial school enrollment was also under last
year's initial attendance.
The 1963 public school "opening day enrollment was
slightly under (32) 1962's 5,44ft, \ Samuel T. J£u
union, in Chicago, Secretary Weaver
called Sen. Goldwater "on amateur
ham radio operator who ha* been
short circuited aud doesn't even know
it."
Pointing out that the candidate
has been in the Senate since 1953,
and that not a single piece of legis-
lation bears his name, nor has he
played a major role in drafting any
legislation. Weaver said he finds it
significant that Sen. Goldwater is
known mainly as a ham radio opera-
tor.
Ham operators, he said, "shut
themselves up in a little cubby hole,
away from everything and receive
messages over the airwaves. This
much I know: you can't close your-
self up in an ivory tower and under-
stand human needs by remote con-
trol."
Wearer said that Sen. Goldwater's
campaign is rapidly transforming the
Republican party into a haven for all
the ultra-conservatives, advocates of
preventive war, John Birchers, hate-
mongers, and racists.
Pointing out that the four years
of the Kennedy-Johnson adminis*ra-
tions hove brought great accomplish-
ments in securing the rights aud op-
portunities of minority citizens, he said
that much of this would be reversed
If th<» GOP should win the election.
In contrast to the views on civil
rights and the plight of th jobless
expressed by Presidents Kennedy and
Johnson. Secretary Weaver cited re-
cent remarks made by Sen. Gold-
water.
Sen. Goldwater said during a press
conference in Chicago, "In my opinion
it Is still the power of the states
to. aggregate or integrate their schools.
I don't think the 1054 Supreme court
decision on school integration is nec-
essarily the law of the land . . .
it is merely an interpretation."
Weaver also quoted Sen. Gold-
water's remarks on the problem of
poverty, in January of this year, when
ba told the Economic club of New
York: "We are told however that
many people lack skills and cannot
find Jobs because they did not have
an education. The fact is that most
people who have no skills have no
education for the same reason—low
intelligence and low ambition."
"Members of labor unions." said
Weaver, "must not allow the elec-
tion of a man with beliefs such as
those, to the presidency of the United
States, Instead, they must work to-
gether under the leadership of Lyn-
don B. Johnson, to help achieve what
the President has colled the 'Great
Society.' "

This year's drop can undoubtedlv

without malice in the death of a prisoner, will be held Fridaf

He remains free under $5,000 bond.
A jury that, Saturday. Aug. 22.
