SEGREGATION Creates A Problem

The sristocrats of historical old Virginia have gotten
themselves INTO one Nell Of Hers trying to their
hold On 10 a,shat supremacy and Segregation.
In their quest to commemorate the sooh anniversary
of one Of the towns Of the state by inviting prominent VIZ
enans throughout the country to dinner Of which the COVER
nor Of the old Dominion win be the host the invitations were
snt 10 vrinians who distinguished themselves In var
ous field in other sections that could have never been &C

Ts ecteent created dilemma that has puzzled the brains

IRRESPECTIVE to prominence Of these native Virgnans
m long a. their color Is Of different hue their prominence
means nothing 70 the Virginia And they want
to rescnd their invitation with the notation that no Negro

where the governor eats.
What the decision Of these Negro vrgnians VIII be to
the withdrawal of the dine In Virginia Is not
