gett of this city is suing because
he was denied registration to vote

on pleadings alone. When the pre-
sent case came up March 5, Judge

motion to strike and dismiss. The
court ruled: "the defendants mo-
ton to dismiss brings forward
questions of law which should be
decided upon the evidence, not on
the pleadings."

be setback in the lower court, it

New York-Twenty-eight prom
inent national figures, including
churchmen, labor leaders, govern
ment appointees, writers and stage
stars, college presidents, business
men, and newspaper editors have
signed an appeal to the nation to
support the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People in the intensive spring
membership campaigns which are
now getting under way.
There has been no period in
the history of the Negro since the
Civil War when his future hung
more in the balance than it does
in 1941," said the statement.
Particularly acute are the prob
lens of the Negro in securing en-
ployment in the industries to
which have been awarded con-
tracts for the national defense pro-
gram for which the Negro is taxed
along with his white fellow Anne
ricans.
Our only hope as Negroes is in
uncompromising insistence that
democracy to it's fullest extent be
extended to Every American Ne
gro. The most effective organiza-
ton towards achievement of this
goal is the National Association of
Colored People as its 81 years of
service attest.
1--WE, the undersigned, therefore
urge the unstinted support of every
American Negro and of as many
of our white fellow citizens as
possible to the end that this years
campaign shall reach and surpass
its modest goal of $250,000."
The signers include:
Bishop R. A. Carter, c. M. E.
