Irvin C. Mollison, presi dent of the Illinois NAACP, and Atty. Jamee G. Lemon Jr. of the Legal Redress committee of the Chicago NAACP. Johnson, who escaped from the chain-gang in December, 1935 had become a fine citizen and was mar ried and had one child. When he applied for a driver’s license the routine check-up in Washington showed that his fingerprints were the same aa those of the man es caped from the Raliegh prison, and he was apprehended and held for North Carolina authorises. North Carolina had failed to issue a gov ernor's warrant. Johnson had been sentenced to 18 months on a liquor charge. -o—-• Washington Divided On Accepting Auditorium for Anderson Concert Washington Bureau, ANP March 16—In this city of strange contrasts, where the most magni ficent government buildings frown down on the cheapest hoveb: where in a population of cultured well paid people, there exists a group of people of the same race, just as far .removed from the first group as the North Pole is from the South Pole, opinion on tho Marian Anderson case has created several schools of widely diversified thought. There are those who believe that thn existence in the nation's capi tal of open and avowed segrega tion in governmental offices, should prove that the colored peo plo of the city accept this segrega tion as their part. These same people believe that Washingtonians hava no kick in the Anderson mat ter, largely Ifxsause fihe very school gyatems of the city are operating on a “jim-crow" basis, camouflaged under the title of a “dual syatehn,” That means nothing moro than white schools and col ored schools. And that Negroes should expect to throw open the doors of a white school just for this one occasion, and acdept ithe open insults at all other times, seems to be the very opposite of what they are striving to accomplish. Which is more important, ask these people: the breaking down of segregation in governmental of fices where they are employed, or tho veneer of the acceptance of the school for the Anderson concert as a palliative? In a recent meeting, indignant citizens said they would accept the uso of the Central High school au ditorium, provided the school board would lift the restrictions imposed Other citizens, just as indignant, declared they would not accept the Hise of the auditorium under any circumstances. Which leaves the matter hanging in the air as far as the committee is concerned. But what has the committee of citizens got to do with the proposition when the final decision rests with the music department at Howard uni versity ?

Our only stage decoration will be two American flags. Protests against the action tak en by the DAR in barring the artist from tiheir auditorium be cause of her race and the sub sequent banning of her by the District of Columbia school board from Central High school (white) has assumed national proportions Famous artists, writers, libera organizations, and persons promi nent in the civil life of Washing ton have registered vigorous in dignations, in telegrams, letter? and reisolutions, which have been .vent both to the DAR and to the Washington board of education. Launch Fight for Negro Postal Employees in Texas ■1 II 0 Dallas, Tex., March 3 (ANP) — The Progressive Voters of Dallas which has won several signal bat tles for the civil rights of Negroes in this city, ha* launched a fight to secure Negro postal clerks and mail carriers in tho local post-of fice.
