It's Mo-Segregation
Policy In Dixie

NEW YORK-The NAACP has
called on the USO to implement
its Indignation policy adopted in
1851 but never applied consistent
ly on national level.
In meeting with two USO ma
tional officials last week, DR.
Charming H. Tobias and Gloster
B. Current, both of the NAACP,
urged that racial segregation in
USO clubs and other facilities
throughout the south be ended
Immediately.
DR.. Tobias is chairman Of the
associations board of directors,
and Mr.. Current is director Of
branches for the NAACP.
The meeting between officials of
the two organizations was held as
a result Of complaints received by
the NAACP from its branches in
the south. The complaints point
ed out that the USO has not put
into practice in some areas its
announced policy Of indignation.
The USO officers at the meet
ing were M. o. Schram. presi-
dent, and Edwin e. Bond, execu-
tive director.
The statement presented by Mr..
Current noted that many Of the
constituent agencies Of USO not
only have religious purposes, but
have either declared themselves
seuarely opposed to segregation
or are presently reviewing their
practices In this regard"
In the consideration of any
new program there are always
obstacles to be overcome. We In
the NAACP have seen through
past experience that the best ap-
proach to any change in a policy
of injustice is not to allow ex-
pediency to stand in the way of
right. The best way to effect
change Is to change"
