THE FIRST LADY

The newspapers carried story
this week which alleged that Mrs
Roosevelt denied making reserva-
tons for Negroes at Washington
and Southern hotels. The fascists
have tried to- use the First Lady as
an example of the radicalism OF the
New Deal and the present admin
istration. She has treated Negroes
in a democratic fashion and the
Southern fsscists and Kluxcrs are
anxious 10 start a national contro-
versy over her liberalism. These
boys know that the South hates
"nisger-lovers,' those who treat Ne
sroes as human beings, Somehow.
however, wish that the First Lady
had not denied the story so en-
phatically. What the hell is wrong
with Negro letting a reservation
in a hotel? Or the First Lady max
ing the reservation?
