University Women
Told 10 Admit Negroes
Here or Lose Charter
District Branch Given
Until May 6 to Alter
Membership Rules

A controversy that began more
than 18 months ago over the
admission of a colored woman to
the Washington branch of the
American Association of Uni
versity Women reached a climax
last night when the branch was
given until May 6 to decide
whether it will change it's men,
bership rules or cease operating
as part of the AAUW.
The ultimatum was voted by the
national board of the AAUW at its
semi-annual meeting here after a
delegation from the Washington
branch appeared before it. The
Washington branch is the oldest one
in the association.
The national group said 1t consid-
cred the branch was being given a
reasonable length of time to reach
a decision Gin view of the fact that
more than a year and half has
elapsed since this question was first
raised by the refusal of the branch
to admit a Negro woman college
graduate who was eligible to ma
tional membership in the associa-
ton"
AAUW Stand Outlined.
The national board has taken the
position that the sole requirement
for membership in the AAUW is a
degree from an AAUW-approved in
stitution. The Washington branch
has contended it has the right to
select its members. The branch by
laws require that women who are
eligible by the national standards
must be approved by the board of
the Washington branch before they
can become members of the branch
Mrs G. r. Wilhelm, president of
the Washington branch, said the
next move is up to the branch board
of directors which meets tomorrow
night She added. however, that the
branch members took a pretty def
mite stand" when they voted last
Monday night not to change their
! by laws. The next branch men,
bership meeting is May 6.
The national board said it was
guided in its decision by legal
opinion on the problem prepared by
former Supreme Court Justice Owen
j. Roberts.

as stating:

ESPECIALLY ENCOURAGING

to all Cleveland fans has been the
return to form of Bob Feller after
disappointing first half per-
tormance. Bob is at present the
greatest pitcher in baseball, and
on his past 10 years records, he
ranks with the all time great
pitchers in the game. He won the
two big" games for the Indians
the one against Boston to tie
up the league, and against the
Derolt Tigers to put the Tribe
ahead. In addition to winning 18
games in the season, Feller has
won his last seven starts, and has
allowed only eight earned runs
IN his last eight games.
ONE LOCAL FAN, after Feller's
recent performance, asked me
what | thought of Feller now.
This was rather surprising as
have been a Feller fan since that
memorable day in 1887 when a
tall, gangling farm boy of II took
the mound for Cleveland against
the st. Louis Cards in an exhibi-
ton game. When the dust of the
battle had cleared, Feller had
famed 1Tof the "gas house gang
and a year later he wrested the
strikeout crown from Dizzy Dean
by tanning Is in one game. It
seems my comments and observa-
tions on Feller and the Indians
had been misinterpreted to mean
that |, too, was down on one of
the games greatest hurlers. If
those writings are checked care
fully, you will note that they are
the comments of fans and other
columnists passed along to add
interest to the national pastime.
OF COURSE, this isn't the first
or | might add, the last-time
that articles appearing in this
column have been misinterpreted
In fact, it's amazing how many
people can READ the printed
word yet not UNDERSTAND
what they read. Seek and we shall
find, Yes, and he who looks for
trouble, has no difficulty finding
it. Or, as Honest Abe might have
said if he had lived long enough
to change his world famous say
ing: "You can't please anybody
anytime!"
