''To accomplish maximum results

leaders, their managers and John
Hammond, editor OF Music ard
Rhythm and NAACP board member
Judge Hubert T. Delany, of rhe Do
mestic Relations court here. also a
NAACP board member, and Walter

The NAACP proposed on August
26, in letter to the ODT. that that
office issue special permits for The

was also proposed that the determ-
ination of the routes be left to a
committee composed rchestra lea
ders and their managers, with Judge
Delany and Mr. Hammnd as CO.
chairmen.
The NAACP first began work to
lift restrictions on the use Of buses
for Negro orchestras sevral months
ago, after band leaders and some Of
their managers visited the New

Preceding the September IL con-

at which Walter White and Cab Cal
loway discussed almost insurmou-
able difficulties" which would be
imposed on Negro bands if they
were no longer able to use buses for
travel.
1t was stated at this conference
that unless buses were made avail
able, almost all colored orchestras
would be put out Of business. In
southern localities, the orchestra
leaders state, it is often necessary
to travel many miles from "loca-
ton, where the band is playing to
find food and lodging.

urged the employment of them into

further, that it is the duty of the

that it created a bitterness which
must by all means be controlled,

teacher initiative in emphasizing

Commenting on opportunities for

students of high schools and colleg-
es, he quoted from remarks by M

dis at the conference last week OF
the National Institute on Education
and War as Washington, D. C. Said
Director Lands:
''It is the business Of civilian de-
fense to help Americans take rec-
essary precautions to protect them
selves as we'll and as quickly as
possible against possible enemy at
tack. 1t is the business Of civil
ian defense to help all Americans
to have more and better food, to m
prove their health, to Keep family
life intact. and so to speed produc-
tion in spite Of the stresses and
strains, the changes and dislocat. .ons
brought on by war. To accomplish
this twofold task civilian defense
needs the aid Of every school and
college president, administrator ami
teacher"
Continuing, Director Lands rec
commended that campus organizat-
ions should find every possible
means Of cooperating with local de-
fense councils.
Every school or college should BE-
a reservoir of volunteer workers
for civilian Defense" he said.
