NAACP Holds Up Appeal
In U. Of Teniir Case
Nw York, June 4.—Tha N. A.
A. C. 1*. fnttouAoed that in
view of the fact that the statt of
Tenne«B#e has enacted a scholar*
ship law providing for the grad
uate and profcBaional c'ducation of
N^roea it would not appeal the
William B* K«dmond case, but
would wait to see whether the
scholarship law is fairly admin
istered. .
Redmond filed suit in 1936 to
compel the University of Tennes
see to accept* his application for
th6*'4^001 of pharmacy after the
oflflclals of the university had re
jected liis application solely on
the ifround he was a Negro. The
suit was tried before the Chanc
ery . court in Memphis in March
lft37, and a »aciiion sustaining the
officials of the university handed
down in Aprifl by the Chancellor.
Ahe Associ^ion noteti an appeal,
but t])e Tennessee legislature rush
ed through scholarship bill
which was signed by the Gover-
nor May'22.
The N. A. A'. C. P. statement
said that the Association dees not
accept the scholarship act as the
mission ot a Negro citizen into
the State university, and will con-
®ue~lo^OTiFeTi3T^^IHe~83r»n8sIon'
ed schools. But its funds are sos FINISHES
limited thar as a practical matter
It believes the best interests of
the greatest number of iNegro
students in the South will be serv
ed by spending the money which
would have to be spent in the
Tennessee appeal in the states
which now do nothing at all for
the graduate and professional ed
ucation of its Negro citizens.
The Associotion further an
nounced that it did not consider
its work in Tennassee completed,
and that . it was notifying the
Tennessee students who had writ
ten to the Association before the
•scholarship act was passed that if
the scholarship money was ex
hausted and any qualified Negro
student left unprovided for, the
Association would give him every
assistance to force the state to
provide h m adequate m^fessional
or graduate training.

New York, June 4.—A protest
has been lodged with the Boy
Scouts of America, Inc., by the
N. A. A. C. P. upon the reported
^barring of a coloi^ ifirst-class
scout in Rhode Island from the
National J»n»boree whidt is to be
held in Washington, D. C., begin
ning June 26.
The Newport, Rhode Island,
branch of the N. A. A. C. P. re
ports that the leader of Troop 1,
a colored troop of the city, had
been chosen to go to the Jamboree
and his expenses had been raised
and all arrangements mafe when
the Boy' Scout leaders of Rhode
Island informed his parents not to
send him as the would not ibe re
sponsible for him because the
Rhode Island delegation would be
stationed with delegations from
the southern states. ,The Rhode
Island officials told *tke porents
that they felt the southern white
ly nil tit wnnld4>e- “veiy unkind” to
(i'he colored boy from Rhode Is
land. The 6fficials absolutely' ra
llied to assume any responsibil-
rty iy the—situation-- And woalA
promtse Ao protection for the lad
whatsoever.
The national office of the N. A.
A. C. P. has written to James E.
West, chitf scout executive, in the
national headquarters htre asking
whether in pUnning the Jamboree,
the Boy Scouts of .4menca hai
-adopted a policy discouraging the
attehdani.e of Negro scouts or
barring them altogether. The as
sociation stated that the scouts
fhottld be quartered 5pith their
state d^legatio^^^^.
"This association,'^'the letter'
says, “Wishes to protest any loiher
arrangement as unfair and aa
cruelly humiliating to the impres
sionable and expectant young eol-
gred American who are Boy
Scouts. We do not know how this
situation will impress you but it
strikes us that to tell a young
colored American boy that he can
not attend a national celebration
in the capital of his country be
cause of his color is the height—
or the dePth^af hiimTtialioB and
hurt. It is' all the more so. when
the celebration is -fefcat- of the Boy
Scouts ft)' America which ^ de-
voted to ‘charact.?r huilding -and
education for citizenship through
