rived in Washington early and was
comforting with high officials of
the state department.
When he stepped from the huge

In the nations capital Mr.. Wal

ment, nor did he care to comment
upon stories recently appearing in
the Negro press regarding iron
ore concessions to American inter-

Mr.. Walton is retiring at his own
request. AS did other presidential
appointees, he was among those
who submitted designations to
President Truman upon the death
of his predecessor, Franklin D.
Roosevelt. It was not accepted.
However, late in 1915 Mr.. Walton
handed in his resignation a second

relinquish his duties, which he had
performed for this government for
10 years.

ATLANTA VETERANS UNIT
MARCHES ON city HALL

ATLANTA, Mar. Is (ANP)-
Members of the United Negro Vet
Grams organization and the wom-
ems auxiliary, in a march estimat-
ed at from 100 to 800 participated
in a march on City hall as a pro-
test against non-appointment of
Negro police.
Led by DR.. E. G.. Boddie, or
ganizer and promoter of the group,
the parade was conducted orderly
and gathered momentum as it
went, despite reimbursement of
the Atlanta NAACP and other or
CARNATIONS.
Boddie's banner read "For Ne
gro Police" Other banners read:
100000 Negro Citizens Rate at
Least One Negro Policeman"
The marchers paraded around
the block in which City hall is To-
Gated two times, then held a mass
demonstration on the steps of City
hall. The crowd that witnessed the
demonstration was made up of cur
iosity seekers, policemen, newsmen
and photographers. Responsible
Negro citizens did not condone the
demonstration, which they charac-
terized as ''ill-advised and inoppor-
tune"
