Club Owner Kalb Defends Private Beach Racial Policy
Washington hearing reveals Kalb’s blunt stance on excluding Negroes and other groups from his Chesapeake Bay private club beach. He asserts property rights justify denying access to many, including Africans, Indians, Orientals, and even the British ambassador, while courts and diplomats are subject to immunity to avoid conflicts.
