COLOR BAR BROKEN IN BALTIMORE THEATER

New York-Negroes sat in the orchestra and the first bal cony of the Maryland Theater, in Baltimore, for the first time in that city, at the Lincoln s Birthday performance of "A Flag Is Born.'' as the result of tradition-shattering victory won by the NAACP against the rigid discriminatory practice followed by all theaters in the South of relegating Negroes to inferior seats in the second balcony.
 Notified by the Baltimore branch of the Association that Negroes were not receiving the same treatment in the purchase of tickets for Ben Hecht's play dealing with prejudice, the NAACP national office took the matter up with the American League for a Free Palestine, sponsoring the production, who instructed the theater's man. agement to drop their color bars or face unfavorable pub licitv on the anniversary of the birthday of The Great Emanci- pator, Abraham Lincoln.
 Walter White, executive sec retary. NAACP, hailed the CO., operation given in the fight against segregation in the na- tion's theaters in a telegram to the American League for a Free Palestine. MT. White stated:
 "Our Baltimore branch wires that. as result of your inter vention, orchestra seats were sold last night to colored citi- zens for "A Flag Is Born. ; Thanks and congratulations for your prompt action
 The Baltimore branch is fol- lowing up it's gains against dis crimination on either side of the footlights, and will picket all shows which do not take stand against this unconstitutional practice of penalizing one set of American citizens solely on the basis of their color.

FEPC LEGISLATION
 AS WELL AS EDUCATION URGES CATHOLIC BISHOP

Lansing, Mich.-"Let us not delude ourselves by using edu- cation as a smoke screen for doing nothing'' to combat ra- cial and religious discrimina- tion, Bishop Francis J. Haas of Grand Rapids urged in an ad- dress to the Michigan Council for Fair Employment Legisla- tion here in which he empha- sized the need for legislation in this field.
 Bishop Haas, who is honorary chairman of the Council, said |: "To those courses let us have education, and more and more education We can educate at the same time as we legis- late. And I doubt very much whether in the field of job dis crimination we can educate un- less we also legislate."
 Pointing out that injustice to minority groups was prevalent not only in the South, but in the North as well; that it viti- ated the rights not only of Ne groes, one-tenth of the nation s population, but also of Mexi- cans, American Japanese and Jews as we'll, Bishop Haas in dicted the evil on human, on American, on Catholic and Christian grounds.
 The Bishop cited American constitutional provisions and laws and the spirit of American fair play as violated by dis crimination. He mentioned the blessings of liberty" in the preamble of the Constitution, the 14th and 18th Amendments, the draft law which commands equal service and the Supreme Court buildings inscription, Equal Justice under the Law. :"
 "But I dare go further.' he continued. "Anything that has any remote resemblance to dis crimination is not only Anti American, but Anti Christian as we'll. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, declared that second only to the supreme law bind ing us to love our God is the law binding us to love our neighbour

CONNECTICUT GOVERNOR OPPOSES JIM CROW IN NATIONAL GUARD

V
 New York, N. .Y.-The posi- tion of open and fortnight op- position to segregated units in state National Guards taken by Governor James McConaughy, of Connecticut, was hailed by Walter Whit, executive secre- tary of NAACP, as "one of the most magnificent and hearten- ing steps which has been taken during recent years.
 In response to request from the Brdgeport-Stratford branch of the Association that Cover nor McConaughy demand the reactivation of the federalized National Guard on a basis of complete integration of the races upon every level, the Gov ernor immediately wired the following telegram to the Gov ernors of the three states asso- ciated with Connecticut in it's National Guard set-up:
 "Ahe you satisfied with Army policy of segregating into spe- cial units Negro soldiers of your State who desire to serve in the National Guardg I am not. I have just learned of this practice. I know the Navy has ended discrimination. I do not want to see it in Connecticut Army units. '
 The issue was brought to a head in Connecticut when Geo. Carter, a Negro vetera, who wears the Purple Heart and five battle stars, had his application for enlistment in the Connecti- cut National Guard rejected be- cause at the tmie there were no provisions made for segregated units.
 Stating of Governor McCon- aughys action to end discrimi- nation "We believe that no other Governor who claims to be enlightened can do otherwise than to follow your example, MT. White said: tsWe have been bringing this situation which exists in the New York Nation al Guard to the attention of Governor Thomas B. Dewey for some months, and have received no indication from him as yet of his opposition to this discrim- inatory practice.
 "The NAACP is unalterably opposed to segregation in any form, particularly in the man. ner in which a man may serve his state and his country. We will continue to fight against discriminatory bar in New York State and elsewhere until all qualified Negro citizens have the opportunity to serve in the National Guard on a basis of equality with other citizens.

STATE FEPC FOR OHIO URGES CATHOLIC WEEKLY

CluIldbI C1CS O dP1A-AeSS $ AoCSA> oA fcial newspaper of the Catholic Archdiocese of Cincinnati, has urged the creation of a Fair Employment Practices Com mission for the State of Ohio. The papers support is expected to play an important role in the fight for passage when FEPC legislation is considered soonby the General Assembly of the State.
 1t is our sincere hope that the Ohio legislature will enact an FEPC bill similar to the one New York has,, the editorial declares.
 Reviewing the origin and his tory of the temporary Federal FEPC, of which Most Rev. Francis J, Hass, Bishop tof Grand Rapids, was chairman, the article terms natural and logical" the Negro's desire to sare Gin the advancement of American civilization.
 ''The Negro in this country has contributed-and, as the record shows, continues to con- tribute-of his blood, brain and brawn to the progress of Ameri- can civilization, the editorial states. "That he has not given more, and given more freely, cannot be charged. to his un- willingness to give, so often as 1t can to the unwillingness of others to accept. American civilization is the result of the efforts of both the Whites and the Negroes. Both groups have forced their civilization to offer a higher standard of economic life. As a result of this coop erative endeavor, the Negro has a naural and logical reason to expect a share in the advance ment of American civilization. "
 Terming the Catholic teach ing on race "as American as showboat on the Mississippi River the article condemns as evil that system of life in which goods above the minimum necessity for decent living are made attainable solely on the basis of family association or nationality.
 ''The Catholic Church in her official teaching has always con- tended that man, black or white, living in a land of great wealth like our own, has rights to goods over and above those necessary for the minimum re- quirements of life", the editori- al states. "Theirs is the right to seek work in a variety of businesses; to seek promotions that are honestly merited; to seek higher recommendations when the qualifications for them have been met; and to seek an edu- cation that will make for a full CT life. Arising from these rights is the corresponding ob- ligation on the part of society to free man from unfai and un- reasonable restrictions while he legitimately pursues all lawful

ANTI-FILIBUSTR
 RESOLUTION BACKED IN SENATE BY NAACP

February 4th, before the Senate Subcommittee of the Committee on Rules and Administration for Walter White, executive secretary, NAACP, on behalf of the Association and twenty one national organizations on the National Committee Against Mob Violence. MT. White $ tes- timony was presented by Leslie Perry, NAACP administrative assistant.
 Stating that tfOne of the most visious manifestations of the lynching spirit is to be found on the floor of the United States Senate itself, where a majority of the Senate has brazenly and unashamedly lynch democratic procedure by refusing to per init an overwhelming majority of the Senate to vote aye or nay on .anti-lynching, anti-poll tax, fair employment practice and othre legislation desperate ly needed to insure justice and opportunity to American citi- zens,' MT. White stated that the NAACP favor Senate Reso- lutions 9 and 30 above other anti-filibustering resolutions, as they provide for not more than one for each senator to discuss any pending bill after cloture has been voted.
 Citing the costs to govern ment of filibusters, MT. White estimated that days and money wasted in filibusters during the past decade resulted in a cost to the American tax payer of about $1,O90,O00, adding that ''the monetary loss, great as it has been, is but a small part of the price which filibustering has made us pay. No single American practice has done more to discredit orderly gov ernment throughout the world than filibustering. We have been held up to ridicule thru out the world Human lives have been lost because the ab- ject surrender by the Senate to filibusters against such legisla- ton as has been proposed to permit the federal government to protect the lives of its citi- zens from lynching mobs when states refused, failed or neglect ed to provide such protection .' MT. White stated that during the past twenty-five years, hun dreds of lives have been lost in the Unietd States through lynchings, "nearly every one of which could have been pre- vented had there not been sur der to filibuster which prevent ed adequate federal legislation against this crime. "
 Stating that "the rights of each of our citizens must be pro- tected to the hilt or soon the rights of no citizen will be safe" ;" MT. White charged that Con- gressionaI beneficiaries of the disfranchisement of nearly G. 100000 white and 100000 Negro citizens by the poll tax
