tour of the Pacific Northwest, with
intensive work in Washington and
Oregon, Edward Dudley, member
of the legal staff of the NAACP,
said last week plans were under
way in Seattle, Portland, Tacoma,
and Spokane to combat the wave
of Jim Crowism which is sweeping
the once-liberal section on the
heels of the great migration of
southern Negroes and whites.
Dudley conferred with Governor

disappointment of Mrs. Velma G.
Williams to the District Board of
Education was announced here last
week. Mrs. Williams, one of the
three Negro members of the board
and the only Negro woman mem
Der, was returned to her POST along
with two white members by the
justices of the District Court. All
three will serve until June 80, 1947.
A member of the board since
1889, Mrs. Williams headed the
boards committee on student ac-
tivities. Prior to her original ap-
pointment, she was president of the
James Monroe Parent Teacher As
ISOLATION here and before that had
taught 10 years in the schools of
Mississippi.
Mrs. Williams and the other Ne
gro members of the board voted
with their white colleagues against
the admission of a Negro boy, Mi
chael Davis, to a white school here
recently, when the boys father ap-
piled for permission on the grounds
that the Negro school nearest the
Davis home was too distant for
convenience and safety.

Bishop John A.
Gregg Tells Of
Visit Overseas
By C. T. R. NELSON

More than a thousand people at
tended the interracial mass meet
ing held last Sunday in the thea
ire section of the st. Paul Audi
forum and heard a thrilling ad-
dress by Bishop John A. Gregg, of
Kansas City, Kansas, as he praised
the contributions being made by the
Negro soldiers in all parts of the
world. Bishop Gregg, who was a
chaplain in the Spanish-American
war, was absolute master of his
audience as he made a resume of
his trip to the battlefronts where
Negroes are stationed throughout
the world, as the representative of
all of the Negro churches in Amer
lea.
Bishop Gregg highlighted his ac-
count of the $4,000 mile tour with
incidental stories that were very
funny, and illusions that were
touching. He lived a week in Gen
eral MacArthur's home at Port
Moresby and he met native chiefs
in the Fijis. He told about two
white girls who asked to be placed
in Red Cross unit that was super
vised by a Negro woman, partly
because they liked her and partly
because they wanted to prove how
seriously the men and women at
the front accept the principle of
the brotherhood of man.
Everywhere, the bishop reported,
Negroes are doing their full share,
even when they are engaged in du-
ties technically rated under the
non-combat head. Graphically, he
described their activities as engi-
neers in the Pacific area, North
Africa, Italy, Burma, India and at
the Iranian bases from which
American Supplies are sent to Rus
STA. He told of their courage and
skill in general, and described nu-
merous particular instances of it.
He pointed out that members of the
engineering outfits have to go
ahead very often and prepare the
way for the combat troops and
that these engineer and service
troops are in constant danger. He
told about seeing Negroes handling
bulldozers and other intricate ma
chinery without difficulty and he
told about a white employer in
Kansas City who told the bishop
that such machinery was too COM
plicated for Negroes to handle. In
speaking about Australia, Bishop

Negro Doctor
Gives $1,000
to NAACP

NEW YORK On D-Day, DR..
Walter J. Crump of New York
City, sent a personal check for
1000 to the National Office - in
appreciation of the great work be-
ing carried on by the NAACP.
cit gives me great pleasure"
wrote DR.. Crump, ''to send you my
personal check for $1,000 for the
NAACP. May it assist in the strug-
gle to obtain for the Negro equal
rights and equal opportunities for
service in this land of ours, and in
our activities in this World War
for the liberation of all peoples.
cit is my humble opinion, that
the NAACP is the most aggressive
stabilized and rational group for
establishing and maintaining in the
U. S. and the world, the rights of
our most underprivileged group,
the Negro"
