Draws Praise The Catholic Youth Center, St. Paul, was filled to capacity last Thursday night; the audience thrilled with the performance of Geraldine Lawhorn, famed blind and deaf dramatic reader, in a re cital sponsored by the Credjafawn Club.

C.—Scoring the DAR for its lack of courage and Americanism displayed by its re fusal to accept the “very modest conditions Miss Anderson in self respect established for the accept ance of the DAR’s invitation that she sing a benefit concert in Con stitution Hall” the NAACP this week told the President General of the Daughters of the American Revolution: “Americans would have respected the D.A.R. more, even though they might not have agreed with the D.A.R.’s decision to reject Miss Anderson’s terms, had the D.A.R. not made the casuist and ridiculous excuse that other artists invited to sing in the series had not imposed l any conditions. “There is no analogy in that, as far as we are able to learn, all of the other artists who were invited are white, and there has been no ban on the appearance of white ar tists whether they be Americans or foreign born. Only Negro artists have been banned by the DJL.R. from use of Constitution Hall. “It is very certain that the D.A.R. and not Miss Anderson will suffer in public esteem by this de cision of the D.A.R. at a time when the democratic process itself is in peril.” Detroiters Picket Manpower Comm, for Woman Job Bar Detroit, Mich. Belittling the Detroit NAACP’S claim that the fact that less than three per cent of the women employed here in war industries are Negroes as evi dence of discrimination Mayor Jeffries refused this week to issue any statement against the anti- Negro policies of local war plants. The conference with the Mayor took place while a picket line of 150 encircled the Boulevard build ing which houses the War Produc tion Board and the War Manpower Commission. Regional director Cushman of the WMC informed an NAACP committee that making of policy and the forcing of the em ployment of Negroes was not with in the power of regional heads. The Detroit branch has declared its disapproval of the appointment of a former discriminating person nel manager of U. S. Rubber Com pany as new regional head of the War Manpower Commission in this area.
