Women Reeognized WASHINGTON. (ANP). The old Washington, D. C., Jim Crow chapter of the American As sociation of University Women has been discontinued. In its place the AAUW last week de clared its recognition of a re organized liberal wing of the old group as the official D.. C. chapter. Official sanction to the na tional organization’s desire to oust the reactionary D. C., group was given by Judge Henry A. Schweinhaut of the District court when he reversed a court deci sion of two years ago by dis solving an injunction which had prevented the national group from taking action against the local group. This action finally settled a case which began in 1947 when Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, a member of* the national AAUW applied for membership in the D. C. branch. The majority group headed by Dr. Elizabeth Conrad refused to accept her as a mem ber because she was a Negro. The national group ordered the D. C. chapter to accept Mrs. Ter rell or face suspension. The chap ter refused and it was tempor arily suspended. The D. C. group then went to court and obtained an injunction preventing the na tional group from suspending it. At that time Judge Bolitha J. Laws ruled that the national body could not suspend the local chap ter unless it changed its by laws to state positively that.members would be accepted regardless of race. At its 1949 meeting last month in Seattle, Wash., the AAUW na tional group passed such a by law. The Washington chapter with drew when this law was passed. Leaders of this group have formed an organization called the University Women’s club, Inc. The new D. C. branch of the AAUW has elected Mrs. Ruth V. Lyons, president.
