Poland Passes Law io Shoot Racial Agitators PARIS. (ANP). Death awaits Poland’s racial agitators, accord ing to an announcement last week by Sigmund Modzelewski, Poland’s foreign minister, during a press conference at the Polish embassy. Under a new Polish law, per sons found guilty of inciting ra cial hatred will be shot, Modzel ewski said. “We hope the new drive in Poland will wipe out anti-Semitism and inspire Polish Jews to return to their homeland” the foreign minister remarked. The U. S. State Department blasted the recent Polish elec tions as “undemocratic,” but race hate agitation is not punishable by law in America. CLEVELAND PASSES ANTI JIM CROW AMUSEMENT PARK BILL CLEVELAND—(ANP) Months of heated debate over the anti discrimination clause included in an amusement park licensing ordinance came to an end last Monday when, sparked by a speech by Mayor Thomas A. Burke, the city council passed the legislation by a vote of 23 to 8. Before the roll call, several councilmen offered an amend ment to the ordinance, making the anti-discrimination clause in clusive of all places of public amusement. Three Negro coun cilmen, including Atty. Charles Carr, sponsor of the bill, objected to the amendment on the grounds that at present it was only one of the city’s amusement parks which had so flagrantly discrim inated, even to the extent of hiring armed guards to carry out a biased policy. It was because the management of Euclid Beach park had refused during all the months since intro duction of the ordinance to deny a policy of discrimination or to state that such practices would not continue, that he was endors ing the measure, Mayor Burke told the council and the overflow audience which filled the council chambers. After the mayor’s words, two of the councilmen withdrew their support from the amendment. Passed in its original form, the ordinance provides for revocation of license in cases of discrimin ation. Now that the ordinance has been passed, proponents are wait ing for developments this spring when Euclid Beach opens. So far, there has been no comment by park management, except to deny rumors that the park would be closed. REOPENED LUNCH ROOM 916 "P" Street Open daily excepting Wednesdays 7:00 A.
