W. Welch, State Highway Patrol Greensboro, North Carolina, Saturday P.M. , 17 November On Saturday, 17 November 1962, a gang of CORE representatives attempted to integrate the Mayfair and S & W Cafeterias in Greensboro, North Carolina. There were approximately twenty-five in each Cafeteria. At the S & W, the participants came and stood in line. Mr. Bentz, the Manager, went up to each one and said, ”1 am Mr. Bentz. We do not solicit your business and we do not serve colored people; this is private property and I am asking you to leave. If you do not leave, you will be trespassing and we will call the police.” The representatives refused to leave, and Mr. Bentz called the police. At the Mayfair Cafeteria, about the same number came in. Seven or eight stood in line; the balance sat down at tables. The management, Mr. Boyd Morris, the owner, went to them and told them they would not be served and requested them to leave, saying they were on private property. He advised if they did not leave, that he would call the police and have them arrested. Mr. Morris called the police and they took fifty-three to the Police Station. Warrants were issued for forty-eight persons; the others were juveniles. Among these was a Chinese boy, who has been arrested a number of times, who said he is an employee of CORE. The other subjects were colored students of A 8c P and Bennett College. There was a sprinkling of Dudley High Schools students. These were all juve¬ niles . They were all recognized to come to court. No one was put in jail. DAVID T. LAMBER^ COLONEL COMMANDING STATE HIGHWAY PATROL
