A recent account of the Floyd

the younger students. The last
name was right but to be exactly
correct you'n have to change the
Joe to Pete.

an accomplished conductor. Its
playing is not inspired. but few
orchestras can claim this distinc-
ton. It is, however. d disciplined
body that sounds especially good
in full-orchestra numbers. Some
of the solo work seemed slightly
ragged. particularly in the lighter
toned flute and oboe. This fault
probably lies with the acoustics of
the Hall. however. and not with
the musicians.

Southern Urban League
Branches Jeopardized
Have Been Offered By Number Of Chests The Choice Of
Loosing Afi|ation Or Cutting Loose From National

Community Chest campaigns.
The White Citizens Councils
began last year a campaign of
harassment by intimidation aim
ed at those Community Chests
which contribute funds to their
local Urban Leagues or to the
national body. Boycotts have
been threatened and, in some
instances, instituted in an ef-
fort to drive Leagues out of Com
munity Chests. Southern Urban
Leagues have been offered by a
number of Chests the choice of
losing Chest affiliation or cut
ting loose from the National
Urban League and disavowing
any sympathy with the National
organizations objectiveS OF
equal opportunity in employ
ment, housing, and family liv-
ing. without exception, South
ern Urban Leagues have reject
ed the ultimatum, and have in
sisted upon their right as quail
flied social agencies to continue
a part of the social agency fund
raising structure. They are pre-
pared to defend this position up,
to the point of expulsion from
the Chest, and at that point to
turn to their regular supporters

Editors note:-Following is a
statement issued by the National
President of the League at head
quarter in New York.
For the past year the National
Urban League has been expert
encing a new and different kind
of difficulty in it's efforts to win
for the urban Negro population
a more secure status, ecOnom-
ically and socially, in the Amer
ican community. A dangerous
by-product of the fight against
desegregation, headed by the
White Citizens Councils of the
South and kindred organiza-
tions, has been a most vicious
and steadily expanding attack
on any effort to change racial
conditions in that part of the
country.
The school situation is now
revealed as only an excuse for
professional hate-mongerS to ex-
plot fear and ignorance among
many Southerners centered
around the race issue. The Ur-
ban League has been selected
by these hate-mongers as what
they consider to be an easy
target. because the League has
depended for its local operations
in the South and elsewhere up
on it's participation in local
