Racial melee at Bronx diner sparks clashes
In New York near a Bronx White Castle diner, about 20 white supporters clashed with pickets from the Congress of Racial Equality. Police used nightsticks to break up the melee, two white men arrested on assault charges, one treated for a forehead wound. Demonstrators, from both races, demanded more Negro hiring in construction and continued protests into the night.
