Cases OF racial discrimination and segregation in YMCAs
occasionally still being reported and puDczed IN the
newspapers Some OF these reports have come from non
southern states including Indiana Maryland New Jersey

communities schools and other local activities and services
are being conducted OH nterracal basis.

more and imp separate YMCA services for Negroes
and improve relationships between the branch primarily

Many YMCA leaders from this Area are asking:
What support can be given to local YMCA leaders who
are penaized because they try give leadership in the

What support be given to local YMCA whose COM
munity support threatened because the national body has
a stated policy of non-segregation-
What help be given to YMCAs which want to move

While the climate for inerraca practices in YMCAs OF
the South does present problems there are many oppor

Iowun Would Take
Capitol Page Boys
Out Of Politics
BY the Associated Press


Congress has been asked to
take the Capitol page boys out
of politics.
Representative Schwengel,
Republican of Iowa, yesterday
introduced a bill which would
give each member of Congress
an opportunity to appoint a
page.
At present. the pages are ap-
pointed by the Patronage Com
mittee of the majority party.
That means that practically all
pages are appointed by the
party controlling Congress.
Mr.. Schwengel said Republic
can Iowa hasn't had many
pages in the last 81 years and
the district represent has
not named one"
He continued in a statement ::
Most of the pages come from
the Southeastern States and
Washington. D. c. 1t is just
like the committee chairman
ships. Most of them are con-
centrated in the South. To
continue to have this selection
so closely allied to partisan
politics just isn't right"
His measure would also limit
a pages tenure to IA months.
Pages now can serve from the
time they are IA years old until
they are 10.
