D. Maynor Charms

One of the rarest or rare treats
was accorded Portland Saturday
night, Feb. % when Dorothy May
nor, American Soprano electrified
an overflow crowd at the Public
Auditorium. Never, before has a
visiting artist before a local au-
dience attracted such widespread
attention and received a more cor
dial reception. Miss Maynor's
stage demeanor as a concert per-
former is truly captivating. Her
personality and appealing charm
readily won the admiration of the
thousands who heard her. One cri-
tic said, THE most Immediately
arresting factor in Miss Maynor's
singing is quality of her voice. 1t
is one of the most haunting beau
tiful sounds which nature has cur
rently bestowed" During the con-
cert the audience electric in it's
response, heard such gems as Shu-
bert's AVE Maria" Brahms Mel
ne Liebe Ist Greun," the aria DE
puts lie Jour" from Louise, plus
Negro spirituals and a long list
of encores. Miss Maynor's favor
tie of all the spirituals she sings
is "Were You There When They
Crucified My Lord"

Frederick Morrow
Addresses NAACP

Arriving in Portland Thursday
Feb. 20, e. Frederick Morrow CO.
ordinator of Branches of NAACP
was greeted by a delegation of
Executive Board members of the
local Branch including Pres. Wy
att w. Williams, Sec. Pollyanna
Reed, Messrs. l.. r. Blackburn,
l Nancy, E. Williams, S. Pickett
and Rev. l.. o. Stone. Mr.. Morrow
of New York graduate of Bow
dom College, class of 1880 is MAX
ing a tour of the Pacific coast
branches studying the economic
status of the Negro in this area
and gathering information as to
the number of Negroes employed
in the defense program in the far
western states. In a survey of the
Boeing Airplane factory, prior to
his coming to Portland, the coor-
dinator found there were no Ne
groes employed in that great fac
tory. The'reason given by the own
er is that the plant is thoroughly
unionized and that the unions will
not allow colored people to join.
The factories are not alone in dis
elimination against the Negro in
the defense business. They are
not able to voluntarily enlist in
the Army and the Navy. The Navy
will enlist a few as mess atten-
dants but that quota is filled. AL
though the Negro is not satisfied
with his status, it is not true tina
large numbers of them are COM
munistic inclined. Mr.. Morrow
thinks lynchings will increase be-
fore long because of the colored
men seeking work and the devices
deing used to prevent them from
getting jobs. The CLIO is admitting
Negroes in some unions and areas
but the A Fof L is very reluctant
about extending memberships to
Negroes. Speaking of the 80
branches of the NAACP on the
Pacific Coast including in Wash.
and 1 in Oregon, the visitor said
ut would be very timely to or
ganize a regional conference of
the NAACP including Seattle, Ia
coma, Spokane, Yakima and Port
land through which Northwest
problems could be centralized" A
native New Jerseyian, Mr.. Morrow
promised to return for his summer
vacation.

When we pick up the papers OF
turn on the radio these days, we
wonder if the scenes enacted in the
Senate and House of Representa-
tives are identical with those OBJ
served by England, subjugated
France, and other countries now
dominated by Hitler. We battle,
piffle and twaddle while the other
fellow, apostle and heritage of
hate uproots out Democracy. Too
much selfishness and too much pol
itics, often motivate, too many
men upon whom we lean for dir
ectness and speedy action. When
the Congressional 'lease-lend"
clinicists shall have completed
their operation upon patient lease
lend, it's ematiated form will be
such a pitiable exhibition of Con-
gresional surgery we fear, even its
father will be unable to recognize
it. At any rate, we have discov-
cred that all against the bill are
liars and warmogners, and every
man for it is riding in the same
boat, according to the testimony
of each side against the other.
