i , The action was aimed at orga
nizations in 12 states affiliated with
the ADA which have consistently
• refused to accept Negro dentists as
members.
A resolution was passed by the
ADA's House of Delegates provid
ing that the house, highest autho
rity of the association, may refuse
to seat a delegation from any con
stituent society whose by-laws con
flicted with those of the ADA.
The ADA has no prohibition in
Its by-laws against membership of
Negroes.
The action concludes a long fight
waged by Negro dentists against
state and local organizations that
bar Negro membership. The cam
paign reached its climax last sum- >i
mer during the annual convention
Os the all-Negro National Dental
Association, in Detroit
At (hat time the’NDA house of
delegates voted to picket the Mi

h federal government wHthdraw
any federal benefits dentists de

A special civil rights committee
headed by Dr. L. H. Holman of
Joliet, 111., immediately went into
action.
Meanwhile NDA president, Dr.
Richard Layne, of St. Louis, began
negotiations with Dr. Jerald Tim

Political
Roundup
The effort to establish a two
party system In the state did not
get much comfort in the capital in
Tuesday's election. However, many
political observora feel that local
Republicans should take courage
and continue to build.
The Negro precincts gave some
of the Republicans a fairly good
vote In comparison to what thetr
predecessors have been getting. The
effort to stop Sam Ervin, by Ne
groes throughout the state, waa vi
sible In these precincets. Claude
Greene, an almost unknown, got
the Negro vote.
Due to Ervin's record, as It re
lates to civil rights, and the Negro,
he waa fought everywhere. There
were many who might not have
been pro-Greene, but they were
anti-Ervin.
This was clearly seen In Durham

This firfit came to light Monday
when Latham and J. E. Bryant ap

Latham, was representing Acme
Cab Company, while Bryant is said
to have been appearing for Rain

the Council that Doggett owns two
cab companies now and that if he is
permitted to operate another that

business.
Latham Is said to have told the
city fathers that the franchise was
granted just about the time that
he and Doggett appeared before
them about the pay hike. He point
