New York. May *3—One letter to
the Hon Cole L. Blease, Senator from
Sooth Carolina, must have given that
gentleman a shock of astonishment.
It was a letter of thanks from the
N A.A.C.P. for his courtesy in read­
ing into the Congressional Record an
article by A. H. Ulm which was pub­
lished in the Washington Post of May
18 being a highly laudatory account of
the successful efforts of the N.A.A C.
P. and its acting secretary to defeat
the nomination of Judge John J. Par­
ker to the U. S. Supreme Court.
O f course the Hon. Coley did not
mean to be nice to the N A.A.C.P.
He read the article into the Congress­
ional Record to show what a terrible
thing it was that Negroes had such
power. But the N.A.A.C.P. thanked
him for his “ courtesy in making this
article« part o f the official documents
of the United States Government.”

New York May 23— The N.A.A.C.
I P. has again won a victory before the
U. S Supreme Court on the issue of
I residential segregation ordinances this
| case arising in Richmond, Virginia, and
! being the third consecutive victory on
j this issue to have been won before the
highest tribunal by the N. A. A.C.P.
It makes the Sixth victory on alt is­
sues won in the Supreme Court to
date by the Association.
The case which originated in an or­
dinance barring all persons from living
in a neighborhood mainly inhabited
by members of a racial group with
whom they might not intermarry un­
der the terms of the Virginia Racial
Integrity Act was won on the basis of
the Louisville Segregation case of 1917
and the Louisiana Segregation case of
1927, in which the Supreme Court held
such ordinances unconstitutional.
Messrs. Cohn and Pollard of Rich­
mond were retained as counsel by the
local citizens’ committee headed by
Dr Leon A. Reid. Messrs Arthur B.
Spingarn. Vice-president of the N.A.
A. C. P. and chairman of its National
Legal Committee, and James Marshall
son of Louis Marshal), and a member
of the N A.A.C.P Legal Committee,
both were of counsel in the case. All
the briefs in the case were carefully
supervised by the N A.A.C.P. attor­
neys.
The test case was fought by J. B.
Deans and was won before Judge
Grocicr, being appealed twice by Vir­
ginia authorities, until it reached the

Dr. Pickens Scores
Success In Spokane
The Spokesman Review Spokane,
Washington, a white daily newspaper
on Monday. May 26 devoted a half
column to an interesting review of
Dr. Wiliam Pickens’ address at Cal­
vary Baptist church, Spokane, last
Sunday night. The paper quotes Mr.
Pickens in part as follows:
Negroes Are Nonpartisan
“ W e colored people have got past
paying any attention to being repub­
licans or democrats . Mr. Parker is
a republican. One of the fairest men
to the Negro was a southern democrat
on the New Orleans bench When he
was running for governor 10 years ago
Judge Parker declared he did not want
the negro vote. W e took him at his
word when he was running for judge.
“ I will not say much about Mr.
Hoover. W e will try and get along
with him. I voted for him. W e are
gradually wearing out complexes and
superstitions relative to the Negro.”
Oregon College
Student» Petition for
“ Return Address”
Portland Oregon May 27—The stu­
dent body of Reed College has done
an unprecedented thing in that after
listening to an address by William
Pickens, Field Secretary o f the Na­
tional Association for the Advance­
ment o f Colored People, in the regu­
lar chapel period, they immediately
circulated and signed a petition to the
President and faculty of o f the Col­
lege for a return address by Mr. Pick­
ens. The subject of Mr. Pickens' chap­
el address was: “ Haiti and the Am­
erican Occupation.”
The President of the College tele­
phoned Mr. Pickens that same day
for another engagement and arranged
to double the chapel time The Presi­
dent emphasized that no such petition
had ever before come from the stu­
dents. The next day Mr. Pickens
agreed to speak on “ The Negro Music
and Other Arts.”

tion of the State o f Oregon.
