she decided to forego the meet
ing.
In answer to Miss Moten's let
ter, Pearson said he was delighted
TO hear that she was interested in
coming, but very much distress
sed" by the views on certain I'M
American attitudes of Washing
ton hotels.
He related that he called at the
Mayflower Immediately and pre-
pared to take them to task about
their racial bias policy. However,
he said, the hotel management
blocked his boiling over" by in
forming him that it would be de-
lighted to have Miss Moten as a
guest.
The management added that it
had revised the racial policy three
months earlier and no longer
practiced the limiting of guests
on the basis of race or national
ity. II had not advertised the fact
but simply hoped to move quietly
into the new policy.

is nothing that we possess that
doesn't cost something. The
Spirit of the Church can only be
expressed by harmony and coop

decide whether you are going to

refusing Negroes Accommodations
because of their race. But his
planned "raking over the Goals"
fizzled out completely when ne
learned, much to his surprise, that
the hotel management had drop
ped the policy several months
ago.
The incident, as related by
Pearson, occurred in connection
with the scheduled meeting of the

Monday. The association is COM
posed of professional concert ar
lists, lecturers and entertainers,
and is one of the important or
CARNATIONS in its field. Its execu-

Pearson, the 1851 president,
and officials of the association
felt that the meeting in the ma

and the belief that people who APP
pear on platforms before large
audiences can do a great deal to
carry messages directly TO the
public affecting morale,
One of the members Of the as
ISOLATION is Eta Moten. a lead

written Pearson that she would
like to attend the meeting. How

that most of the delegates were
expected to stop there. Her letter
