Mr. Reginald Johnson of the Na
tional Urban League was the guest
speaker at the regular monthly
meeting of the local N A A C P on
Sunday, October 15th. Mr. John
son who is in Portland making a
survey for the Urban League, ex
plained in his discourse the differ
ence between the functions of the
N A A C P and the Urban League.
The subject has been a controver
sial one among the local intelligent
sia and Mr. Johnson’s speech aided
considerably in clearing a situation
that has become notoriously bad.
Mr. Johnson will be in Portland
for some time and is working fit
close cooperation with the Council
of Social Agencies.
