credit goes to the entire aggregation.
Johnny Rogers, young guitarist from

Randolph And Reynolds Out
But Non Violent League
Pledges 10 Continue Fight
Reason Given That
Negroes and Newspapers
Were Against Movement

NEW YORK-A. Philip Randolph
and Grant Reynolds, leaders of the
League for Non-Violent Civil Dis
obedience Against Military Segre-
cation, quit the movement last
week.
One of the reasons was, accord
ing to Randolph and Reynolds, 1.-The
newspapers and Negro leadership
are definitely against u.s."
The other reasons were:
l. The recent Executive Order
issued by the President regarding
discrimination in the military serv-
ices Said Randolph and Reynolds:
Although the executive order is not
all that it should be it represents
a substantial gain, particularly in
view of the Presidents later state
ment that the order aimed at the
eventual end of segregation"
2. Belief that the sentiment of
the people has changed as a result
of this order so that they are no
longer with u.s.
3. Belief that the civil disobedi-
ence movement is weak and cannot
possibly fight against these odds y
Although the sudden and drama
tic retreat of Randolph and Rey-
nolds from the civil disobedience
campaign must have shocked their
colleagues in the movement, it
found many other leaders of the
League unwilling to give up the
