Reorganized
D.C. Uni. 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.
