savins he is still hoping that con
gress or the President will ye!
outlaw racial segregation in the
a; my.
The letter, addressed to Presi

ey, Carroll Reece, J. Howard Mc-
Grath and others, stated that "the
abolition of segregation in the
armed forces is the only solu
tion acceptable to a vast majori
ty of Negroes and liberal Ameri
cans.’"
Mr. Randolph made it cleat
That he has no desire to advocate
siifh a drastic treasure tor ita
own sake but that “under the
circumstances' he has "no alter
native but to counsel civil dis
obedience'’
Randolph is quoted as desiring
"all leaders in the nation to know

both of Oklahoma City, were de
