NAACP officials Dr. Quincy New­ man and Rev. James Blake did much of the liaison work. Store Boycott said Bishop Nichols. Some mer­ chants have relented and have hired more Negroes, and others not only welcome Negro custom­ ers, but treat them with utmost courtesy, the Harlem prelate said. "T h e manager, Benjamin Graves, came up and saw my foot wedged in the door He told me the hotel did not cater to Ne­ groes. At this point. Mr. Parks came forward and spoke to the manager. ‘Why can’t you serve me? I’m not Negro.’ In an angry tone, the manager told Mr. Parks, be wouldn't serve him because he was in the company of Negroes, and was not a gentleman.” ’ Rev.

Notices of appeal were later serv- ed on their behalf by NAACP lawyer Russell Brown. “More Negroes than ever be­ fore are registering to vote,” he observed while on his recent trip to his native Charleston. He said the NAACP is doing a good job lem minister said he plans to re­ turn there later this month to pick up where he left off. Meanwhile, the Charleston Movement, the bulwark of the de­ segregation campaign, lists ten points as specific goals. Two other leading Charleston hotels which barred Negroes had dropped the ban prior to the re­ cent incident, Bishop Nichols ex­ plained as he told of other action in Charleston. These include desegregation of all public facilities and accommo­ dations; equal employment and up-grading opportunities: appoint­ ment of qualified Negroes on Police grabbed 68 boys and housing committee to assist fam- girls, many of them 15 years old,, dies who will be displaced by the for participating in a protest de­ monstration in the downtown area.

See Racial Bias The ministers* also protested the club’s operation “because we see it is racially discriminatory,” a letter mailed to Mr. Sandore last month declared. “You have not reached into the Catholic Church for music; vou have not reached into the Jewish Temple or Synagogue for ‘acts;’ you have not gone into the white Protestant churches for ‘an­ thems.’ “No! . . .
