The national AAUW ruled eligible

Washington branch said it had the
right to choose its members. A
District Court decision prohibited
the national group from expelling

Appointment Defended.
Civil Service Commission officials
acknowledge that they weren t
aware of this situation when Miss
Matthews was appointed to the Fair

they say they are sure she will make
good member.
Harry B. Mitchell, commission
president, declared:

certain that Miss Matthews will deal
fairly and honestly in each case
that comes before the board. She

that no discrimination should exist

Miss Matthews declared that $50

ployment rights are two different
things. They are two lines that
don't cross at all"
Action Explained.
Asked why she opposed the en-
trance of the colored applicant to
the Washington AAUW, Miss Mat
thews declared:
Our organization has a great
amount of social activities. To have
admitted her would have led to the
entrance of other colored members.
Because of the fact that We do have
so much social activities, this would
have led to the breakup Of our or
ganization."
Expressing further her philosophy
on the situation, Miss Matthews de-
clared:
ITO me, there is no discrimination
involved in choosing your friends
and associates in social activities.
All of us want to choose our own
friends, regardless OF who they
might be.
But do recognize that discrimi-
nation exists against Negroes and
other minorities in an economic way.
I feel that employment in the Fed

merit and ability"

Lewis Charges Green
Lief Truman Axmen'
Alter Stand on France

John L. Lewis yesterday accused
AFL President william Green of
changing his position on the shoot
ing of French miners and blamed
the switch on Truman axmen" and
reactionaries within the American
Federation of Labor.
The United Mine Workers chief
made. the statement in a message to
Mr.. Green. Earlier, he had asked
Mr. Green to use his influence with
President Truman to obtain Ameri-
can action to stop the shooting of
striking French miners by French
troops. He said this could be done
by shutting off American aid to
France.
Mr.. Green was in Minneapolis
when Mr.. Lewis announced his sug.
gestion. At the time, he said he was
sympathetic" and would investigate
the situation before answering Mr..
Lewis.
On Friday, Mr.. Green wrote that
he could not support the French
mine strike because he had found
that it was dictated by Moscow.
He. also expressed surprise that Mr..
Lewis had taken a stand which
the AFL leader said was in line with
French Communist strike leaders
since Mr.. Lewis i-Communistic
views were so well known
In his latest letter, the mine
workers chief said he would not
take umbrage" at the contempt
ible +slurs" in Mr.. Green's reply be-
cause, he added, II know you were
compelled to sign it,"
'I realize your position Is most
difficult and that your footsteps are
constantly logged by your own re-
dictionary outfit" Mr.. Lewis wrote.
IF your position is such that you
wish another secret meeting with
me, send me word in the usual way
and I will arrange something"
UNIV officials refused to explain
the meaning of that statement.

Tennessee Riot Threa'
Subsidies as Militia
And Planes Move in
By the Assoeioted Press

j LOUDON, Tenn. Oct. 30.-Na-
'tional Guard ground troops, sup
ported by fighter planes, moved
into Loudon today under orders
to put down threatened mob
violence stemming from the
death of a hillbilly singer.
The militia moved in at the direc-
ton of Gov Jim McCord. The Gov
ernor acted on request of local au-
thorities who had reported the situ-
alton out of hand.
| Tension here had been high since
the night of October 20 when Ray
Brewster, 26, widely known in east
Tennessee as a radio singer, died in
an automobile crash. The situation
had quieted by the time the troops
arrived.
Father Accuses Sheriff.
Mr.. Brewster's father charged in a
warrant that Sheriff Henry Nc
Donald and Deputy Clifford Hughes
were responsible for his sons death:
Magistrate w. S. Watkins said the
elder Brewster swore out warrant
charging the officers with response
bility "by chasing Brewster's car,
shooting the tires, causing it to
overturn and causing the death of
the occupant"
Sheriff Mcdonald and Deputy
Hughes, disputing the fathers
charge, said the singers autombile
wrecked after he tried three times
to ram their car as both vehicles
were travelling along road near
here.
The sheriff said he had at the
| time a warrant issued in Knoxville
charging young Brewster with lar
ceny. 1t was issued, he said, by
Judge Glen c. johnson. This was
confirmed in Knoxville by Chief
Deputy Sheriff Bruce Newman OF
Knox County. 's s.t.sssi :
The fiareup over the death Of the
hiilbilly singer brought to light
differences which have been smoul-
dering between friends of Sherfn
Mcdonald and some who oppose
him." ..azs sls
Bad Blood, Reported. -
There's been bad blood FOR some
time between two factions, one of
which has wanted to Dust McDon-
aid, and this might have helped
to bring things to showdown" a
responsible Loudoun resident, who
refused to be quoted by name, said.
The sheriff still has a year and 10
months to serve on his second term.
Magistrate Watkins said there has
been no coroner's inquest into young
Brewster's death. He added none
will be held because there were eye
witnesses"
Sheriff Mcdonald also said no
inquest was planned.
II saw it and guess you can call
me an eyewitness" the sheriff
added, but so far as I know they
don't intend to have an inquest.
All I know is that they have bound
me and my deputy over to the grand
jury and suppose the grand jury
will do all the investigating neces-
sary."

way I want it. I want the grand
