Negro Republican Leaders Fail To
Back Taft Stand On Segregation
In South's Public School System
See Republican Presidential
Aspirant In Desperate Move
TO Change Or Modify Statement
PERRY HOWARD REPORTED SICK AND
NOT AVAILABLE FOR COMMENT

CHICAGO, H., Dec. 11-tDSN)
The ranks of Negro Republican
leaders of National Prominence
and wide influence among rank
and file Negro voters give evil
dence of having been stirred as
never before by the recent state
ment of Senator Robert A. Taft,
of Ohio, leading aspirant for the
Republican nomination for Presi-
dent of the United States, who
told students of North Carolina
College for Negroes that he did
not believe the Federal Govern
ment should require the South to
abolish it's segregated public school
system.
Here in Chicago, Edgar Brown,
who is running as the Republican
candidate for congress in the COM
ing election against William L.
Dawson, the incumbent Negro
Democrat, who is secretary of the
Democratic Congressional election
committee and assistant to the Ma
tional Chairman and whose influ-
ence in the Democratic party is
everywhere acknowledged, appear
ed almost ready to give up after
the Taft statement. Brown had
been virtually making his campaign
on his support of Senator Taft who
he was giving the credit with being
almost solely responsible for the
custer of Bilbo from the u. s. SEN
ate.
The assistant to the chairman of
the Republican National Commit
tee, Val Washington, another
Chicagoan has been showing trou-
bled concern since Taft made his
statement and is reported to have
been making every effort to find
out more definitely what the Sena-
tor said.
Mr.. Washington let it be known
however, that he was not in ac-
cord with Taft's position on the
segregated schools.
/ am against segregation of any
kind, anytime, and place, he en-
phasized.
