Says National Park Discrimination
Result Of One Rangers Decision

WASHINGTON-( amp Calling
attention to the recently released
AMP story on discriminatory prac-
tees In the Shenandoah National
park. In which II was stated that
attendants were giving colored Wis
itors maps with red circles drawn
around the jim-crow picnic
grounds. r. X. Burlew, first assis-
tant secretary OF the department OF
the interior. writes:
my attention has been directed
TO an Associated Negro Press dis
patch regarding the maps given 10
people entering the Shenandoah
National park on which the picnic
grounds for Negroes were marked
with red pencil.
I'm May. 1889. the literature con-
corning Shenandoah park, which
maintains separate facilities for Ne
groes, was revised and all refer
ences TO them was eliminated. II
was decided that the rangers would
direct parties to the proper areas.
Unfortunately, we do not have suf-
ficient ranger personnel TO de-
scribe orally the facilities avail
able. and. therefore, one OF the
rangers resorted to the above men,
toned practice. II was stopped as
soon as discovered and the rangers
we're instructed not TO mark the
park circulars.
THE Pinnacle Picnic ground in
the central section OF the park has
been open TO use by white and Ne
gro visitors since April, 1889. No
signs OF discrimination are permit
ted In this area. For the present,
II is necessary that other areas
and facilities be designated. IL
must be realized that in the south
ern states the history OF discrim-
nation for many years cannot be
changed at once by an order from
the department OF the interior. The
facilities for Negroes provided at
Lewis mountain in SheSandoah Ma
tional park are equal in quality to
the facilities provided for white
people at Big Meadows in that park.
THE National Park service OF
this department Is doing every
thing possible TO extend a friendly
welcome to all visitors 10 Shenan-
doah National park"
In fairness TO the department OF
the interior. II must he said that the
park in question Is maintained on
par with other national parks and
the facilities provided for Negroes
In compliance with the long exist
ing Jim-Crow folkway and mores OF
the southland. are equal TO those
provided for whites.
However. there is another oppor-
tunity for the department TO show
its appreciation OF Negro visitors
as well as whites. In the appoint
ment OF some OF the CCC graduates
TO the post OF ranger in this as
well as other parks. for II Is a gen.
eral understanding that forestry
and kindred subjects are part OF
the CCC curriculum.

for Negroes was operating on a
thin margin OF profit because OF its

crease his margin OF profit, which

A TRIBUTE TO
L. X. WILLIAM S
By CHARLES E. JACKSON

He's gone to rest above the clouds,
Where all that's flesh must go.
His time was spen. He could not stay
Another day below.
His war iecked armor's stacked against
The walls of expired time,
His sword and shield he has lain down,
To rest in peace sublime.
Some say he filled an early grave,
And passed before his time,
God judged it best, without mistake
To take him in his prime.
His works on earth were npbly done;
His tasks were we'll performed;
His was Cody, Christian life,
The masses he informed
Tragic? No, tits none Of that
From life's sore cares he's wrested,
In heaven he stands on the welcome mat,
His brow with halo's crested.
Why weepest thou for one that's gone?
Why sheddest thou tear?
hot he's dead he still lives on,
He's happier far than here.
Reverend l.. K. Williams, sir,
Sleep thou forever more,
Nothing from your rest will stir
You from sweet heavens door
My sincere thoughts are thine to have,
Forever remembered you'll be,
Rest thee in peace til Gabriel blows
And in heaven remember me.

NAILS TO PLEDGE
Continued from Page One)

plan for the transport to sail from
Petsamo yesterday.
The State departments press Of
ficer said the German government
stated specifically and officially that,
since the American Legion was a
military vessel of the United States
government, it would, of course, be
immune from molestation.
Germany alone tried to modify its
assurances subsequently,, the depart
ment official said, but the United
States could not accept because no
other safe course existed.
The decision to sail was made,
it was said, upon the advice of the
chief of naval operations and the
general staff of the United States
Army.
One of the considerations which
influenced the decision was that food
supplies on the American Legion
were running short due to its long
stay at Petsamo and that they could
not be replenished there nor at any
port along the way.
On Day
After the decision to sail, the Ger.
man government was notified and
the American Legion departed for
Brooklyn, N. Y, on the day sched-
uled and on the purse previously
laid out.
The American Legion is filled tc
capacity with 1877 passengers, most
of them Americans who were strand
ed in the Baltic and Scandinavian
areas and who, according to the
