FOUNDATION TO STUDY
RACE RELATIONS URGED
Interracial Commission Takes
Project Under Consideration at
Atlanta Session.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, Ga, April 25.-The
executive committee of the Commits
sion on Interracial Cooperation took
under consideration the proposed es-
tablishment of a national foundation
for the national award of prize for
the person making the most impor-
tant contribution to race relations yes
terday at the closing session of the
meeting here.
The establishment of such a founda-
ton was suggested by DR.. Plato Dur
ham of Emory University, Atlanta, as
means of stimulating the movement
for adjustment of proper race rela-
lions.
An intensive campaign for the
eradication of lynchings was agreed
upon after a survey of the work along
this line had been given by DR.. Mon
roe Work, statistician of Tuskegee In
stitution, who commented upon the in
crease of public and editorial condem-
nation of lynchings and the passage
in number of States of effective anti
lynching legislation.
To aid in further decreasing mob
violence, the commission, among other
things, pledged itself to work toward
an elimination of the legal delays
which they said in many cases were
given as excuses for lynchings.
Appreciation was expressed for the
James 3. Duke awards recently, by
which Johnson c. Smith University,
a negro institution at Charlotte, \. c..
will receive an endowment of approx.
mately 100000.
