NEGRO CONGRESS WINS
RIGHTS IN GOVT. CAMP
IN CAPITAL

Washingtona April, (CNA)-A sig
nal victory over Jim Crowism was
registered by the National Negro Con-
gress here this week with the an.
nouncement that long standing rule
of the federal government prohibiting
Negro tourists from securing accomo-
dations at the government-controlled
Washington Tourist Camp had been
abolished.
John P. Davis, National Secretary of
the Congress made the announcement
after conference last Saturday with
the First Assistant Secretary of the
Interior Ebert K. Burlew.
The camp is operated by the Welfare
and Recreational Association under a
concession from the federal govern
ment have refused to permit Negro
tourists use of the Camp.
Davis pointed out that the Washing
ton Council of the National Negro
Congress recently made an exhaustive
study of federal recreational facilities
from which Negroes are barred. 1t
followed this up with repeated pro-
tests to the National Park Service of
the Interior Department. Two weeks
ago in letter to the Secretary of the
Interior, Congress officials threatened
legal action if an immediate change was
not made. The result was an extensive
order of Secretarq Ickes opening the
camp to all tourists regardless Of race
on the basis of first come first served.
Fight Just Begun
Davis announced that a hundred
reservations for Negro delegates to the
Third Negro Congress to be held April
26-8 already have been made at the
camp.
"The fight of the National Negro
Congress against discrimination prac-
ticed upon Negroes in various national
parks under federal supervision will
not stop with the victory we have won
in this case" declared Davis.
"There are scores of camps, rcstaur-
ants and other recreational facilities on
federal property from which no federal
officer has any right to bar Negro ap-
licants, We have said to Mr.. Burlew
that the Congress cannot be satisfied
with victory in this case alone. He
has given assurance that correction
of abuses of Negro citizenship rights ir
public parks is being worked out. We
intend to hold the Department of In.
terror strictly accountable for the pro
misses they have made to us. Negro
citizens throughout the country who
have occasion to use facilities under
the supervision of the National Park
Service should report to US any in.

Pacifsn Described
AS Failure Before
University Women

Due to the failure of pacifists to
work for a world organization that
could enforce respect for law, ''paci-
fism has been more fatal to peace
than isolationism," Mrs. Laura
Puffer Morgan declared last night
at dinner honoring members of
the National Board of the American
Association of University Women
at the local clubhouse.
Peace leaders, she said, are asking
themselves, Were We Wrong?' said.
Mrs. Morgan. Disarmament reached
only one part of the problem, she
pointed out, and was dangerous
without setting up also machinery
for enforcing order.
If the United States had joined
the League of Nations, the history
of the last 20 years would have
been entirely different" she as
serted. FOLLOWING the present war
there must be set up some means
Of maintaining world order-a
league, a federation or union now
The only hope now of having
such world emerge-one in which
some type of organization will be
possible, is the defeat of the axis
powers" she concluded. mo peace
full order can ever be established
under totalitarianism"
Mrs. Morgan returned last sum-
mer from Geneva, where she had
been eight years conducting the
Geneva Information Service for 40
national peace organizations.
Mrs William c. Van Week, presi-
dent of the local branch, presided
at the dinner and presented the
board members, here for their an
