NEW YORK-Orson Wells. not
d American liberal leader of stage
screen and radio, blasted Ameri-
can intolerance last Sunday after
noon during his American Broad
casting Company Lear Radio pro-
ducts program.
WOULD LIMIT LIBERTY
The young literary genius who
shattered the nations SNUG atti-
tude with an imaginary invasion
from Mars had served few days
earlier as NC on a national musi-
cal award program in which he
lauded the ability of colored ar
lists including Duke Ellington and
the King Cole Trio. Last Sunday
in answering his program mail for
which a radio is given away free
for the best subject, Mr.. Wells
came across the following query
from a listener:
"Where do you expect the col
ored people to stop in this grant
ing of racial tolerance?"
CALL THEM CITIZENS
The listener argued in his letter
that even some colored leaders
didn't want unlimited CAPABILITIES.
He was certain about that and he
felt sure that many white people
felt, as he did, that brake ought
to be supplied somewhere on grant
ing CAPABILITIES to the colored race.
Replying in his usual calm logic,
Mr.. Wells opened his brilliant ar
gument with tremendous effect:
Fright at the start of your ques-
ton" he said, you differentiate
between colored people and citi-
.zens."

At the close of the morning SER
mon, the pastors steward, Charles
Z. Snowden, after thanking Ste
wards, Trustees, members and well
wishers for their interest and help
presented the pastor with an enve-
lope containing the final install
ment on an obligation of four
thousand dollars due for past ser
vices. The settlement of this debt
was more than a mere payment of
money due. 1t was in every sense
an appreciation for self-sacrific-
ing service rendered over a period
of years when the depression was
very real indeed and a perfect
salvo of applause burst from the
audience.
The pastor Rev. Oliver W. H.
Childers, in his usual dignified and
gracious manner, accepted with
thanks, expressing his great sur
prise and qualification to all of the
people and naming particularly
the three men who had stood by
him during those trying days, Mr..

Disunity among Hub NAACP
members has developed to proper
tons which, many members be-
lieye, endangers the usefulness of
the local Branch. The widespread
dissatisfaction apparently is not
focused on any of the officers
declared elected at a recent meet
ing. What rankles in the minds of
the Disconnected was caused by
that meetings lack of legitimate
procedure. 1t is claimed that the
actions of certain elements at the
meeting were supplementary,
illegal and subversiye. Because of
their aggressive conduct, it is said,
orderly process was impossible
despite the pleas of cooler heads.
Members earnestly declare that
the chosen nominating commit
tee had rendered its report at the
opening meeting in December, that
the report listed two candidates for
head office and two candidates for
each of several other offices; that
the report so presented had been
accepted by the main body; that,
therefore, the committee had COM
pleted its job and automatically
ceased to exist. As one member
