blessing to the marriage of her

Several weeks ago Martha

carefully before taking such
big step -.
"While this wasn't what we
had planned for our daughter,

rant in New York where Daniels
has been appearing.

riage.

NAACP Reports
Negro Coins in I949

NEW YORK; ANP)-The an
lual Balance Sheet of Race Rela-
TONS" released here recently by
the NAACP, viewed 1949 as a
year of good gains" for the Negro
in this country. The report, a
seven-page document issued by
Roy Wilkins, acting NAACP ex-
ecutive secretary, treated with
these points:
1. Failure of Congress to enact
federal civil rights Ieglsla-
ton.
2. Evidences of progress in
state legislation along this
line.
8. Political development.
A. Court decisions.
5. Lynchings.
6. Recognition of personal
merit of Negroes.
The report accused a coalition of
Republicans and Southern Demo-
Gratis of voting further obstacles
to securing effective cloture rules"
in Congress, and pointed out That
the failure to enact federal civil
rights with the increase in unem-
ployment "has made it proportion
ally more difficult" for Negroes
to obtain jobs. In New York, one
out of every five members of min
ority groups seeking work has re-
ported some form of discrimina-
ion, despite the states FEPC law.
However. the report praised the
ten states which adopted FECP
statutes. 1t mentioned Washington,
Oregon, New Mexico and Rhode
Island for their FECP laws; New
Jersey for its additional civil rights
legislation; Wisconsin and Illinois
for laws banning segregation in
schools; and the ten states which
have adopted measures to abolish
segregation in the national guards.
