contempt and the Guild,
which replaced him SO qlickly,
merely shows Migrants talents
were not in great demand j
Not such a star as Robert Nit

recalled to the scene by public
favor, Ingram will probably
serve his sentence to justice and
fade quietly from the bright

After hearing DR.. Dubois and
discussing the issue at length, the
board passed the following mo-
ton.
That in view of DR.. Dubois
writer refusal to cooperate with
the NAACP executive staff OF
which he is a member in pre-
paration for representation at the
forthcoming meeting of the Gen
eral Assembly of the UN., in
view of his distribution Of his
memorandum Of September Z,
addressed to this Board, before
its consideration by this Board,
and in view of DR.. Dubois ex-
pressed willingness that the menu
orandum in question be made pu-
bic before consideration by this
Board, it is the conclusion Of this
Board that it will not be in the
best interest of the Association
to continue the employment Of
DR.. Dubois as a staff member be-
yond the term of his present con-
tract; that formal notice Of this
decision be transmitted to DR..
Dubois"
In announcing the board &C
ton, Mr.. Spingarn made the fol-
lowing statement;
II am sure that express the
opinion of all the members of
the board when l say that it is
with deep regret that they felt
the necessity for passing this mo-
ton. DIR. Dubois was one Of the
founders of the Association and
for many years his voice was the
voice of this organization. His
contributions to the Association
ard the cause have been inestim-
able. It was only because the
board was convinced that no or
ganization could function if any
of its officers refused to abide ny
its directives that it took the
course it did with the deepest
regrets"
White was granted a years
leave of absence by the board of
directors. Leave was granted on

STORY OF THE DUBOIS WHITE
FEUD IN THE NAACP CENTER

NEW YORK - Following I'M
authorized publication of the con-
tent Of an intra-office memoran-
dunn assailing the NAACP's &C.
eeptance of an invitation to send
a representative to Paris to serve
as a eonsultant to the U. S. delega-
ton at the General Assembly Of
the United Nations, the NAACP
board Of directors passed a mo-
ton declaring that it will not be
in the best interest of the Asso-
citation to continue the employ
ment of DR.. (W.E.B.) Dubois as
a staff member beyond the term
of his present contract" which
expires on December 81. The
boards action, NAACP president
Arthur B, Spingarn said, was
taken with deep regret"
In a memorandum, dated Sep
TENDER 7 and addressed jointly to
Walter White, secretary, and the
board Of directors, DR., Dubois,
the Associations director of spe-
cial research, said he was unable
to comply" with Mr.. Whites re-
quest to attend a small meeting
Of STAFF and board members to
discuss matters likely to come
up at the Paris meeting to which
the NAACP secretary was being
sent as a consultant.
DR.. Dubois, who, along with
Mr.. White and Mrs. Mary Nc
Leod Bethune, served as a con-
sultant at the founding confer
ence Of the United Nations in San
Francisco in 1915, expressed dis
approval OF the acceptance of the
invitation to be represented
again. Participation, he charged,
ties US in with the reactionary,
war-mongering colonial imperial
ism Of the present administration.
This memorandum, which crit
icized the Association and detail
ed the authors objections, was in
the hands Of a reporter the next
and was published the
following morning-four days be-
fore the board had a chance to
consider it. At the board meet
ing on September 10, DR.. Dubois
denied releasing his statement to
the press. He added, however,
that he would have confirmed the
report has he been queried by
the newspaper.

Adamses had capacities for
Er - Rachioff's, eh?"
"Yes, sir"
Personnel manager, HIMSELF"
That's what | understand,
sir. Probably nonsense, though"
Henry Sr. glared at him.
Don't be so sure of yourself,
Murphy!'
An hour later a stout, red
faced man riff1ed through Rachi-
offs tie-racks. He snarled impa-
tiently at the young clerk who
waited on him. Haven't you
anything decent?" he demanded.
I'VE have some very good
ones, SIR" the clerk said patient
ly. May l show you these?"
Henry Winthrop Adams Sr.
looked at them, said they were
rotten. but bought three of the
least Objectionable. He then
stamped out without a back
ward glance at his son. =.
Mr.. Boardman, the senior
manager, had a few bad mo-
ments of panic when the order
came through from high above,
creating the Office of first assist
ant manager, and directing the
appointment thereto of Mr..
Murphy. And Mr.. Murphy's
pay was to be increased by 50
much that MIR. Boardman was
jealous, and fearful. What were
they grooming Murphy for?
The senior managership?
But he Gained after a while,
No. Impossible. With bis niece,
Ruth, marrying that young
Adams next month, MIR. Board
mans position would be forever
secure. Nice girl, Ruth. Lovely
girl. She wouldn't let her uncle
down.
He was very gracious to Mr..
Murphy when he told him of
his advancement, and put in a
sentence or two indicating it was
all due to MIR. Boardman's high
recommendations.
Mr.. Murphy was no fool. He
thanked Mr.. Boardman warmly,
dripping gratitude. Diplomati-
cally, he said nothing about a
twenty-five-dollar loan, judi
ciously made. Nothing about
what every hotel manager should
know - that emotional fathers,
in casting worthless sons into
the gutter, always sat down on
the curb and waited, with open
arms, in the hope their sons
would come climbing out.
The End
