Pres. Tubman Snubbed
BY Southern Governors

1t has been disclosed that
the governors of Georgia
and Alabama, Hon. Herman
Talmadge and Gordon D,
Persons respectively have
declined to entertain Pres.
Tubman of Liberia, whom
they had invited, previously,
to visit them. 1t appears that
the president and his party
will have to stay in private
homes while visiting the
South, since the State De-
partment was unable to ar
range hotel accommoda-
tions in the two states be-
cause of the Jim Grow Stat
ute.
Despite the u n 9 t h i c a
behavior on the part of the
governors, and their lack of
the observance of diplomatic
protocol, Mr.. Tubman plans
to visit the two states. He
is particularly anxious to
visit Georgia, because his
mother and father, both ex-
slaves, once lived there.
Governor Talmadge is re-
ported to have said that
Pres. Tubman was invited to
the State t'only to receive
an honorary degree from
Tuskagee". In the meantime,
Pres. Tubman, being WIDELY
aware of the Juror, remark
ed Whatever is arranged,
l will accept. Governor Tai
