Prior lo the Mrs.Roosevelt To Be Mem ber NAA CP Boa rd New York — Mrs. Franklin Delano Roosevelt, long a cham pion of minoiity rights, has ac cepted membership on the Na tional Board of Directors for the National Associaiion for the Ad vancement of Colored People, in making this announcement. NAA CP secretary Walter While said: “The NAACP is honored to add so great an American lo its No tional Board of Directors. Mrs Roooseevlt has stood by her guns in the face of bitter attack and misrepresentation not only from anti-Negro southerners, but oth ers as well. To have her counsel as a member of the Board will mean a great addition to the ef fectiveness of the NAACP fight for total tKtuality for the Negro." During Mrs. Roosevelt’s period championing minority righL! nirthing endeared her quite so Americans in those early years, as much to millions of fair-minded her resignation from the D. A. R. when that organization refused Marian Anderson use of Constitu tion Hail in Washington. At an other time in September, 1944, her response when challenged on raci al issues by a southern wlrite woman attracted nationwide at- untion, she said: “In a democracy wf can not have 13,1100,000 who are denied rights as citizens. Those rights are; equal opportunity for employment according lo ability and at equal pay; equal opportun ity for employment according to ability and at equal pay; equal op portunity for ed'acation; justice before the law; participation in government through the ballot." And now in her lecent column. My Day, June 25. Mrs. Roosevelt, in the same vein as her beloved husband, says for FEPC — "This is important not only as a do mestic issue but a.s an interna tional issue. The peoole of the world who are looking at the United States are sizing up our altitude toward them in relation to our atttitude toward the citi zens belonging to minority grouD.s in our own country. These people of foreign nations will lack con fidence in their equality of oo- rortunitv where we are concerned if thev see ’js denying that equali ty to minority groups at horn".” The former Fir.st I.adv will be gin serving on the NAACP Board of Directors in September.

A survey discloses that the mer chant marine retired veterans re ceive practically none of the bene fits that are extended to the men in our armed forces.
