68-Year-Old AAUW
Votes To Admit
Negroes Without
Restriction

SEATTLE, Wash. - (ANP) The
6S-year-old American Association OF
University Women voted 216S to %
in favor of two amendments to its
bylaws to admit Negro members on
the basis of graduation from an &C
credited school only and not on
race, last week at its biennial meet
ing.
Main support in the bylaw
changes came from delegates from
southern states. Some objections
came, however, from delegations
from Mississippi and Alabama and
the chapter from Washington, DC
It has been reported that the
Washington, D. c., chapter has
withdrawn from the national organ
ization.
Last weeks discussion of the ra-
cial issue at the AAUN meeting CHI
makes a question that came into the
open two years ago when the D. C.
chapter refused to admit Negro
member already approved by the
national group.
At that time this chapter reject
ed Mrs. Mary Church Terrell a
graduate of Oberlin college and one
of the nations greatest Negro lead
er's in civic affairs. She is one of the
first presidents of the National AS
ISOLATION of Colored Women.
The national AAUW accepted
Mrs. Terrell's membership and tried
to persuade the Washington chap
ter to admit Mrs. Terrell, but it re-
fused. Later it took the issue to
court but lost to the local. Early in
the biennial meeting the D. c.
chapter threatened to withdraw
from the organization on the race
question.
The two amendments passed reit-
Grated the associations stand that
the only basis of membership should
be whether or not the applicant was
graduated ITOI1l OH clSNA CViSOu N'A
lege or university without regard to
race, and they strengthened the ma
tional groups power to act in con-
troversial cases.
Two southern women introduced
the proposals, and many others sup
ported them.
Mrs. w. r. Holway of Tulsa,
Okla, and DR.. Bessie c. Randolph,
president, Hollins college in Virginia
introduced the proposals, and many
others supported them.
Among the leading supporters of
the action were DR.. Gillie A. Larew,
vice president of the South Atlantic
region and professor of mathmatics
at Randolph Macon Woman's col
iege, Lynchburgh, Va, and Kther-
inc vickery, president, Alabama
State division.
Large crowds damned the Metro
politan theater for open meetings
and to hear discussions on the ra-
cial question.

Polo Field BUILDINGS
For Sesqui Hinge on
New Navy Survey

Plans of the National Capital
Sesquicentennial Commission to
erect four new buildings on the
Polo Field in West Potomac Park
today hinged partly on the out
come of a study the Navy is
making.
The commission wants to use
the area now occupied by Navy
barracks and a recreation build
ing. An announcement last week
that the Navy is vacating by mid
summer was branded by service
officials as premature"
The entire situation is being
resurveyed as to what the Navy
Department can do" a Navy De-
partment spokesman said. Fur
ther comment at this time was
withheld. 1t is understood the
office of w. John Kenney, Under
secretary of the Navy, has, the
subject under investigation.
Navy buildings occupy about
half of the % acres of the Polo
Field. The balance is vacant land
and available for construction of
buildings by the commission.
The Fine Arts Commission, at
its meeting last week, approved
the placing of the Sesquicentennial
buildings on the Polo Field. The
commission previously had in
dorsed broad plans for the build
ings. which will be torn down
after the Sesquicentennial cele-
bration next year.
A factor in the Navy's hesita-
ton to commit itself on vacating
the Polo Field is the fact the Air
Force recently moved some 600
men into Barracks "K" across the
Potomac River near the Navy An
mex in Arlington. Va. The Navy
might have been able to use this
property. but the Air Force move
makes it unavailable now. 1t is
understood the Air Force plans
to move another 200 men into
