NEW YORK (UPI}Black beauty contestants claim they were shoved out of the picture during this week's Miss Universe pageant. While the new Miss Universe, Irene Saez Conde of Venezuela, enjoyed her first day as “the most beautiful girl in the world” Tuesday, black contestants charged photographers who worked for both the pageant and news organizations often refused to take their pictures or ordered them out of pictures. “Don’t invite the Third World people to denigrate them and humiliate them. Let them stay at home,” Carmen Nibbs, 18, Miss British Virgin Islands, said angrily. “Every year, some group charges there weren't enough photographs of them,” said Steve Solomon, public relations director for the pageant. claimed “We don't have any control over whom the press chooses.” Conde, 19, spent her first day as Miss Universe having breakfast in bed — for the benefit of photographers — and posing on a hotel roof for more pictures. “I'm very, very happy,” she said. But in the hotel's lobby, 42 floors below, Nibbs, Marise James, Miss U.S. Virgin Islands, and Marva Warmer, Miss St. Kitts, said they had been kept “out of the pic- ture.” Nibbs, a sophotnore at Temple University in Philadelphia, said, for example, that contestants were invited to a fancy restaurant last Friday by a shoe firm. When the women got in line to pose, she said, the photographer told her, “I don’t want you in there” and replaced her with a white contestant. THINKING SLIM Deceptions, deceptions.
