account:
"No sooner had we got the
word on the smoke than we
spotted the plane going down. We
saw him (Brown) set the plane
down in a rough field about five
miles beyond our friendly lines,
He must have hit something in

Mr.. Walter White, Secretary
The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People
20 West 10th Street,
New York Is, N. Y.
Dear Mr.. White:
This will acknowledge receipt of
your letter in regards to the
Marian Anderson Matter, which |
have taken the time to give con-
siderable thought.
In spite of my every reasonable
approach to the matter | could
reach no other conclusion than that
the boycott of artists like Miss An
derson, and particularly Miss An
derson, for refusing to play to
segregated adudiences will do no
more harm than good in the fight
in which we are all engaged.
| came to my conclusion in the
first place that in coming to the
south Miss Anderson, under the
present condition can do more by
the demonstration of her art, and
in conversation with the better
class whites, than would result
from her refusing to come to the
South at this time, which would be
the result if she would refuse to
sing only to non-segregated audi
ences.
On the other hand / feel that
there is as yet no breaking down
of segregation in the south to the
extent that Miss Anderson, or 9TH
er artists like her should be made
to appear as though they were
facilitating its continuance.
think there are other, far more
important things, like the full and
complete right of Negro citizens
to vote, without fear of violence
and intimidation, with which the
Negroes in Virginia could well en-
gage, with much greater results to-
wards the ultimate breaking down
OF segregation. And this is true of
Negroes, and those interested in
first class citizenship for Negroes.
at whatever point they are work
ing in this country.
| think the ultimate victory for
us depends not only upon our be-
ing courageous, but also upon our
being practical and realistic as re-
CARDS the problems which we face.
Sincerely yours,
Percy Greene

Citizens Fight
Mass Fire Deaths

LANCASTER, PA. (ANP) -
The citizens of this city are in
arms over the tragic fire death Of
the Crawford family here Friday
night and the incident is consider
ed blight on the housing condi-
tons for Negroes of this city.
The home of the Crawfords was
a garage which had been partly
converted into living quarters for
the now dead family. Lancaster
citizens are asking why did thing
like this happen when the city
has been offered housing aid by
federal government?
The dead family comprised Mrs.
Thomas Crawford; Joyce, three;
Thomas Jr., II months and Jean.
two years.
A drive is underway by the civic,
religious and social organizations
Of Lancaster to force city officials
to carry out rapid and enem-
gency housing program 10 prevent
the recurrence Of such stark
tragedies.
1t has been pointed out by local
civic leaders that the house in
which the family died had been
condemned, as have many in this
city. But these houses are still
being used as tenements.
1t has been suggested that a
solution be considered in the light
of expanding industries locally and
the possible places to house the

The principles of Christian chart

art has done much towards chang
ing the attitude of enlightened
whites towards Negroes and that
some progress at least has been
made in changing racial segrega-
ton in the South from the horizon
al to the vertical level.
But, he assured me, neither Miss
Anderson nor he will do anything
to retard the fight against segre-
CATION.
The principle of the NAACP, of
course, is definite and immutable
On this Mr.. Hurok understands. But
before advising him, the National
Office would like to have the bene-
fit of the opinion of leaders like
yourself in the South. Do you agree
that it would be valuable for Miss
Anderson to announce that she will
hereafter sing to no segregated
audience? Please let me have your
opinion as soon as possible be-
cause bookings are now being made
for next season.

He said Dick Harris, descended from one of the founders of Juneau, won the first Derby with a 38 pound four ounce king salmon, weight of which has not since been equaled by Derby winner. Through profits made by past Derbys Aux Lake and Young's Lake have been stock ed with grayling.
 Shattuck pointed out the great amount of work involved in putting on a Salmon Derby and cited reg ulations which have been carried out in Ketchikan Derbys which could be applied to the Juneau event in helping to prevent acci- dents and could aid toward better sportsmanship.
 Following his talk an informal discussion on the Salmon Derby took place.
