.N.A.A.C.P VERY
ACTIVE in F.E.P.C.

The Seattle Branch of MA.
c. P. has been active and repre-
sented throughout the fight for
the passage of the bill against dis
elimination in employment. At
torney Charles Stokes, vice presi-
dent of the Branch, was one who
helped draw up the bill.
On two occasions when on the
spur of the moment it was thought
necessary that interested persons
be present in the Senate cham
bers, Mr.. Letcher Yarbrough
quickly organized a caravan of
people who donated their time
and effort to go to Olympia. Mr..
and Mrs. Derrick, Mrs. Thelma
Dewitty, Mrs.. Airline Yarbrough,
Mrs. Freddy Braxton were among
those who went. Rev. B. r. Da-
Wis, chairman Of the Legislative
Committee, made the most out
standing talks on behalf of the
bill before the rules committee of
the House. When the governor
penned his name to the bill on
Saturday, N.A.A.C.P. was again
represented by Mr.. Yarbrough.

APPEALS TO CATHOLICS
Mrs. Luce appealed to Catholics
to do their part to eliminate
racial prejudice. Questions asked
after lecture requested her opin-
ion about inter-marriage among
white people and Negroes. She
answered that she considered 1t
unlikely in most cases that mem
bers Of the two races would care
to marry because their interests
would not be similar and because
their chances for happiness in our
present society would not be good.
However, there is nothing wrong
with inter-marriage, she said.
The speaker was introduced by
the Father Edgar verhoast. Other
speakers were Father Frederick ].
