Other AAUW Units
Declared Affected
By Court Case Here

The Washington branch of the
American Association of University
Womens fight against expulsion by
the national association because OF
dispute over membership rules
bears on the fate of many other
branches with similar bylaws, the
District Court was told today.
Attorney John A. Croghan. repre-
senting the local group, told Justice
Bolitha J. Laws that among the
branches having bylaws similar
to those of the Washington group
on the question Of membership are
those in San Diego, Calf, and
Tulsa, Okla.
A temporary injunction is in force
against the national organization
restraining it from threatened ex-
pulsion of the local branch on
grounds it's membership rules are
in conflict with the national by
laws. The Washington group is
seeking a permanent injunction.
Bylaw Revision Sought.
The controversy grew out of the
Washington branch's refusal to ad-
nit a colored applicant, Mrs. Mary
Church Terrell. nearly two years
ago. The AAUW ruled that the
branch must revise its bylaws or
face expulsion.
Mrs. Terrell was among approx
mately 20 women who heard the
legal argument today.
Mr.. Croghan asked the court to
hold the issue in allegiance until
next sprng, when national con-
vention of more than 1000 branches
may dispose of membership rule
differences within the organization.
The issue here is where the
Washington branch after 20 years
of existence as a constituent and
integral part of the AAUW shall
be summarily cast out without any
hearing of any kind" Mr.. Croghan
declared He termed the action of
the national group arbitrary and
capricious."
Vested Rights Denied.
He argued the national bylaws
established the qualification for
eligibility" in requiring possession
of an approved college degree. The
term eligible he asserted does not
create a vested right OF membership.
Charles A. Horsky. representing
the national group, told the court
the question was whether there ex-
listed in the national bylaws au-
thority for additional qualifications
to be imposed by branches with re-
gard to membership. He main
tanned there was not.
He said the Washington group
has had at least Is months notice
of the position of the national
board, in challenging Mr.. Croghan's
argument that the boards action
was arbitrary.

said the group will decide how many

what, if any, school services must
be eliminated in order to stay with
in its appropriation.
The county commissioners, ir
signing the county budget Tuesday
granted the Board of Education $2,.
818.4l0-a reduction of approximate.
ly s611 900 from its $3,429 1863 request
Mr.. Slime has warned that the
reduced appropriation would result
in elimination of many essentia
school services, SUCH as kinder
gartens music. art and physical edu.
cation classes in elementary schools
Mr.. Stine said the School BOARD
has received a ruling from its at
torney, Charles w. Prettyman, that
it must spend its funds in accord
ance with appropriations made by
the county commissioners. He eX-
planned this means the Board OF
Education cannot shift money from
one fund to another.
Meanwhile. Brooke Johns, presi-
dent of the Board of County Com
missioners, assured Mr.. Stine in q
letter yesterday that the commits
sioners will continue to make every
effort ito see that basic financial
needs for the educational system
will be met"
Mr.. Johns also wrote 1t is the

operate closely in providing the best
possible liaison between the two
