Dr. DuBois Acquitted .1
Trial as ‘Foreign Agent’
WASHINGTON—(ANP)—Judge
Matthew F. McGuire of the U.S.
district court last week acquitted
Dr. W.E.B. DuBois and four other
former officers of the Peace In
formation Center of charges of
violating the foreign agents regis
tration act.
The judge granted a motion for
acquittal upholding the defense
contention that the government
had failed to prove, under the law,
that the PIC acted as a publicity
agent of the Committee of the
World Congress of the Defenders
of Peace.
The government contended that
the center had so acted and should
have registered as an agent of a
foreign principle.
Chief defense attorney, Vito
Marcantonio, former New York
congressman, argued that the PIC,
was acting independently when it
circulated the so-called Stockholm
peace appeal.
He further argued that the
Peace Information Center is now'
a dead organization, and did not
exist at the time of the indict
ment. Government evidence has
showed that the center did not
exist beyond the latter part of
January, 1951; it had no meet-'
ings beyond July 12, 1950. The
advisory council did not meet
after May 11, 1950. Dr. DuBois
was indicted in February, 1951.
Even if the orgaization were still
in existence, the indictment should
be dismissed, argued Mancartino,
because the government has failed
to establish any connection be
tween the New York center and a
foreign principle. The acquittal

I NORFOLK, Va. — (ANP) — A
Iwhite Presbyterian minister told
his congregation at the regular
morning service here last week
that segregation of the races on
common carriers in Virginia ought
ito be eliminated. He warned that
'the white man’s restrictions on
Negroes are exploited by the
I Communists.
The attack on racial segregation
was made by the Rev, Royce K.
McDonald, pastor of Second Pres
byterian Church, during the de
livery of his morning message on
“Our Strong Deliverer.”
Rev. McDonald asserted, “Vir
ginia Christians ought to take the
temptation of malice and ill-will
out of the path of Negroes by ob
literating segregation on common
carriers.”
