Claim.for $97,500. was made in
the suit which was filed by Ira
F,~ Twist and Mrs. J. Frank
Twist.of Memphis, -trustees of
the Twist Brothers partnership,
now, in liquidation,

- The complaint by the Twists
charged violation of a 1939 contract under which cooperative

due for déterioration and failure

Some Good, Report Shows

NEW. YORK ~ ANP ~Some
good. has beén accomplished in
the first 12 months of the IvesQuinn anti-discrimination laws
existence in New York State,
according [to a report released
- last week by the commission.

in the gate, Henry C,. Turner,
chairman, said the
~<onmnission had -received a total
of 270 cases alleging discrimination up to June 27, with 282
later closed, leaving 87 on the
~active file. Of the tg al number,
207 were -based on color, 89 on
creed and 60 on national origin
he revealed.

~It is interesting~ to note that
even when an individual charge
of discrimination is no sustaned by investigations, the whole
employment pattern of the respondcnt becomes a matter of
concern to {-he commission, and
any charges necessary to com
pliance with the law must be
made before the case is terminates,~ Turner reported,.

A

A means of furthering the
commission~s effectiveness has
been the establishment of community councils in Buffalo and

Syracuse, the report disclosed,
with additional councils plann~ed ior Albany New York City
and Westchester, The commission reported -a. Series of con
ferences with representatives of
the New York State department Of education on anti- -dis
crimination programs for New
York schools and colleges but
no mention was made on action

to eliminate racial and religious.quotas.
