Equity's UItimotum

Actors Equity Association has
served notice on the National The
ater that its members will not be
permitted to appear there after May
81, 1948, If the theater management
continues to bar Negroes from the
audience.
No one can say now whether the
effect of this ultimatum will be to
deprive the Nations Capital of its
only legitimate theater or whether
it will result in the opening of the
Nationals doors to Negroes. But 1t
can be said that, in either event,
Equity's action will contribute little
or nothing toward a constructive
solution of Washington's racial
problem.
Equity's edict was based on reso-
luton which says in part: 1--WE be-
heve that Negro theater patrons
in Washington will be no more
prominent in its audiences than
they are in New York and would
shortly cause no more comment" :"
In all probability this is true, and
it is for this very reason that there
is so much misgiving as to the real
motives underlying the campaign
which has been directed against the
National.
No sincere opponent of segregation
will be or should be satisfied with a
solution" which would permit a
few Negroes to attend the National
Theater. To rest the use of coer-
cion against the National, as Equity
does, on the assumption that "Ne-
gro theater patrons in Washington
will be no more prominent in it's
audiences than they are in New
York" is to dodge the real issue and
to lapse into intellectual dishonesty.
For the real question in Washington
concerns not the National Theater,
but the movies, the schools, the
Fairgrounds, etc. And to contend
otherwise is a dangerous form of
self-deception. a.
1t is in the area of this larger
question that Equity's ultimatum
contributes nothing. In fact, it may
even jeopardize wise solution, for
while coercion may force the Ma
tional to yield or drive the theater
out of Washington, it may also
engender a degree of resentment
and ill'will which would make more
difficult the solution of the real
problem.
The Star believes that this solu-
tion will have to be found through
the processes of education which
lead to tolerance, understanding
and good will. 1t may be possible
to coerce the management Of a
theater. But is not possible to coerce
a community in which there is every
reason to believe that, at this time,
public sentiment supports restrictive
practices. Until this is recognized,
progress toward an effective break
ing down of racial barriers in Wash
tngton will continue to be hampered.

Some people would approve OF this.
On the psychological side. the
effect on the morale and nervous
systems of parents must be consid-
cred. Few parents could face calmly
a demand for new skirts, stockings,
shoes and hats all at once. POST
war tensions are bad enough as 1t is.

Tydings.
In the Republican conference yes
terday Senators Vandenberg of
Michigan, president pro tenn; Major
ity Leader White and Senator Taft,
led the fight for smaller cut.
Chairman Bridges of the Appro-
priations Committee defended the
Sc ,O0O, 100000 figure, and had the
backing of Senators Wherry of
Nebraska, Moore of Oklahoma,
Capehart of Indiana and KEN of
Missouri.
Although the official leaders were
all on the $4,50O,000,000 side, that
figure carried by only few votes.
Senator Millikin of Colorado,
chairman of the conference, is Spon-
soring the $4,5OO, ,0Oo, 900 amendment
He told reporters those who sup
ported that figure in the Republican
conference felt that If Congress finds
later it did not go far enough in
trimming appropriations this year, 1t
can cut deeper next year, whereas
If it went too far now, 1t could not
repair the damage next year.

other miscellaneous activities.
When Democrats contended yes
terday that OPA could not carry on
it's remaining functions under the
House deficiency bill, Chairman
Taber insisted the agency would still
have enough for an honest admin

mated OPA would have $4,000, 900
left to carry it until June 30, when
the act expires.

AFL invitation to discuss the
merger, Mr.. Murray named COM
mittee of five CIO leaders to meet
with committee of the AFL, SCI
lected at the federation's recent
winter Executive Council meeting
The AFL invitation for organic
unity" with its rival rebuffed the
idea of legislative cooperation and
there was no immediate indication
how the slightly different CIO pro-
posal would be received.
On the CIO committee with Mr..
Murray are Walter Reuther, presi-
dent of the United Auto Workers;
Albert j. Fitzgerald, head of the

Rieve, president of the Textile
Workers and Jacob Potofsky, presi-
dent of the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers.
Approaches Crisis Calmly.
In his testimony before the SEN
ate committee, considering many
proposals to curb unions in various
ways, Mr.. Murray maintained a
calm approach to the fight.
He said at is not too late
to achieve an expanding peacetime
economy of full production and full
employment by measures of cooper
alton between industry, labor and
agriculture which run directly
counter to the present drift"
But Congress" he continued
must make it clear to the people
Of this country that 1t will not toll
crate the efforts of monopoly to
defeat the possibility of achieving
such cooperation.
Warns of Consequences.
I'VE cannot move far down the
road of punitive legislation against
labor inspired by monopoly industry
and invoked by the legislative arm
of. Government without disastrous
consequences"
Mr.. Murray contended the path
Of postwar economic adjustment
could have been smoothed without
new laws by the full utilization OF
the advisory board Of the ONCE OF
War Mobilization and Reconversion
But, he said, the board, composed OF
labor, industry, the public and agri-
culture, was little used.

Rent Marchers' Seek
Court Ruling on Ban at
New York Capitol
BY ths Assoeioied Press

ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. 19.-Repre-
sentatives of New York City rent
marchers" sought a court decision
today on action of Gov. Dewey's ad-
ministration in barring them from
the legislative chambers in the State
Capitol.
Banning of the demonstrators
yesterday precipitated Democratic
sit-down strike in the Legislature,
the minority party members refus-
ing to vote on bills, including Gov.
Dewey's record $671 100000 budget,
on the ground that the Senate and
Assembly sessions were Illegal.
An order was served on Repub-
lican majority legislative leaders re-
quiring them to show cause today
before State Supreme Court Justice
Harry E. Schirick why they should
not be compelled to keep the doors
Of the Senate and Assembly open.
Charges Constitution Violation.
The order was obtained by Morris
Zuckman, attorney for Ewart GUM
Ter, legislative representative of the
CLIO United Public Workers, who
was barred from the Senate cham
bers.
Mr.. Zuckman contended the, ban
on Mr.. Guinier and the 1000 New
York City residents who marched
on the Capitol yesterday to support
housing and rent legislation was in
violation of the State constitution.
The marchers came here under
sponsorship of the Emergency
Committee on Rent and Housing"
Armed Troopers Guard Chambers.
State troopers carrying side arms
and riot sticks guarded the Senate
and Assembly doors with instruc-
tions from the Dewey administra-
ton to keep out the marchers, who
returned to New York City last
night.
The refusal of Democratic legisla-
tors to vote on the budget paved
the way for possible court chal-
lenge on its legality.
COP Assembly Speaker Oswald D.
Heck asserted the narchers were
barred after he had been advised
by police officials that the ground
work was being laid for a demon
stration that might conceivably lead
to disorder and bloodshed."
He said advertisements in the
Communist Daily Worker indicat-
ed the march was financed, at least
In part, by the Communist Party.

S22 Million in Revenues.
Actually, the road reported operat-
ing revenues of 1922, DOT ,5S5 which
was $114,445, 1926 less than in 1945
due ito decline in war traffic and
strikes in major industries" Oper-
ating expenses were $745, SIC, 400.
The return on the company's in
vestment in road and equipment
was less than per cent which the
report said was the lowest in history
The Investment return was 800 per
cent in 1s45.
Mr.. Clement asserted that the
freight rates must be raised further
If the railroad industry is to con-
tinue "in a healthy and progressive
condition"
From the standpoint of the pub
lie as a whole, it Is much better
that rates be raised high enough
for the carriers so to advance the
art of transportation that economies
will be produced in order that over
period of time reductions in the
cost of transportation will result,
rather than hold the rates to such
a low point that proper expendi-
lures cannot be made to produce
economies" he said.
81 New Locomotives Delivered.
In 1916, the report stated, 81 steam
locomotives and tenders were de-
livered, completing an order for so
new four-cylinder, high-speed pas
senger engines placed the preceding
year. A ototal of 1876 all-steel box
cars and 300 covered hopper cars
were built at Altoona, Pa.
Furthermore, the railroad placed
an order for 40 Diesel
locomotives which will operate on
through passenger trains between
Harrisburg, Chicago, st. Louis, De-
troit and Cincinnati. An order for
1,100 all-steel boxcars was also
placed at the roads Altoona shops.
Mr.. Clement. noting continued
wear and tear" on railroad equip
ment, said at is important that
needs be met and not further
deferred if rail transportation Is to
advance as it should"
