Head Of NAACP
Charges Bias
ByPentagon

The president of the District
branch of the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement Of
Colored People last night charged
the Defense Department with
condoning segregation because it
will not prevent Police Boys
Club solicitations in its buildings.
The charge, made by Eugene
Davidson. was based on q letter
from Assistant Secretary Of De-
tense Carter l.. Burgess to Mr..
Davidson. The letter was q reply
to Mr.. Davidson's letter pointing
to segregation in the Police Boys
Clubs in Washington.
The Defense Department will
not prevent Washington police
from asking money for the
Police Boys Club in the depart
ment's buildings, Mr.. Burgess
letter said.
Mr.. Davidson described as
"doubletalk" a letter on the same
subject from Maxwell Rabb,
special assistant to President
Eisenhower for minority prob
lens.
No Law Violated
The letter from Mr.. Burgess,
dated April % and released by
Mr.. Davidson, said:
THE Department of Defense
has not been apprised Of any
violation Of law on the part of
the Metropolitan, Police Boys
Club. Accordingly, there is no
valid basis for denying the Police
Department the privilege they
have had for a number Of years
to solicit funds in public
building such as the Pentason
The issue you raised is be-
tween your association and the
Metropolitan Police Depart
ment."
The letter also said 81 do MOI
believe 1t would be in the best
interest Of either your group or
the department to use the au-
thority Of the Secretary of
Defense in a manner which NAV
be construed as an unwarranted
exercise Of the enforcement au-
thority Of other agencies of the
Government"
New Hope Seen
On the action of the District
commissioners yesterday ban
ming segregation in amusement
places throughout the District
Mr.. Davidson said:
This action by the Commits
sioners gives us new hope that
the new Board Of Commissioners
viii do more than the last one
10 follow President Eisenhower's
order to strike down every vestige
OF discrimination in Washing
ton"
The local NAACP branch also
announced yesterday that on
May II, the second anniversary
OF the Supreme Court ruling on
school segregation, a drive will
be held to supplement the regular
$4,000 NAACP membership
campaign.
George Fleming. chairman of
the Dollar Day for Defense"

is 25,000-to be reached by
