D. C. Opens
1st Mixed Playsite
W AS HINGTON — Segregation*
moved one step nearer its end
in the nation’s capital last Thurs
day when the Board of Recrea
tion voted 5-2 to integrate the1
highly controversial Rosedale
playground.
This playground, hitherto “for
white only,” has been a storm
center for more than a year, and
citizens in its area had led a
sustained fight against segregation
which was joined by more than
sixty civic and welfare groups.
The NAACP said that the Rose
dale integration order would not,
however, halt the suit against
segregation in recreation facili
ties in the city which was filed
in August, 1951.
Rosedale was expected to re
open Monday under its . new “all
races” policy, but D. C. Commis
sioners were pondering a delay
Sunday.

“No Negro can succede to of

by .the support of his own group.
He is absolutely dependent upon
his own people for election. If by
character, faithfulness and race
devotion he has served the in
terests of the Negro minority as
dilligently and fairly as he has
served the interests of the State
as a whole, all trivialities should
be removed, and the interests of
the group thus promoted. I do
not claim to be perfect in my
legislative career, but I challenge
any man to show superior pres

the Senate Chamber of our state.
“I am thankful to say to all the
people of my group in Omaha
that no man running for office

by the people of his blood than I
have received at your hands. I
have undying gratitude for that
support of the past, and pray God
that I may merit your support
in the future. I want to urge

Before Missouri NAACP
By NORMA WALL
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. —
(ANP) — Roy Wilkins, national
administi-ator of the NAACP, will
be principal speaker at the Mis
souri state NAACP conference
i which convenes in Jefferson City,
Oct. 24, according to A. P. Mar
shall, local branch president.
State president Stuart Parker,
Columbia, Mo., expects delegates
from most of Missouri’s 26
branches to attend the three-day
session. Other state officers are
Mrs. Velma Woodson, Kansas City,
secretary, and L. P. Bolor,
Charleston, treasurer.
signed to swerve him away from
proper race support.
“I am asking every voter of our
group to go early to the polls and
give me their support, solely up
on a basis of legislative merit. !
am glad to say that I stand upon
my record. That record has been
in the public interest. That rec
ord may be found out from the
public records, and no man needs
to guess. For more than forty
years, I have fought the battles
of my people, and I will continue
to do so as long as I have that
trust.
“The race in Omaha has done
a colossal job through the service
of your social agents, th§ YWCA,
the YMCA, the Urban League
the NAACP, the Woodson Center,
the lodges, the churches and min
isters, the Parent-Teachers As
sociation, Colored Women’s Clubs,
many well known organizations
engaged in civic work, the
press and your present state sen
ator. I will resist any man who
undertakes to deter the race from
further progress. I am pleading
with my race to stand together
in this campaign, and to be vigi
lant in stopping those who in
tend to disturb our efforts to ob
tain better opportunities and se
curity.
