The world listened to Marian
Anderson Sunday. singing from
the Lincoln Memorial in Washing
son. Her appearance represented
final and complete victory over
the Daughters of the American Re-
vulution who refused the use OF
Constitution Hall for her rectal.
Perhaps it was providentiai that
the OAR refused the hall. for
by the refusal, the whole question
of bigotry in the OAR and in all
| phases of our national life came
! right out into the open. The fact
that the Federal Government back
ed Miss Anderson by granting use
| Of the Lincoln Shrine and that
$4,000 people turned out to hear
her, without semblance Of segre-
CATION, Is victory enough for the
moment.
Those who were fortunate
enough to hear Miss Anderson on
Sunday testify with one accord
that she never sang better; that
her voice moved to tears. The daily
press heralded the event, in both
story and pictures.
We are still proud to claim CT
tizenship in she United States Of
America. We r sometimes dis
appointed by acts of SONS of our
fellow citizens, but on the whole
we believe we al always rely

on the ultimate triumph Of right
this ever be so.
