NEW YORK, Jan. 2—Some of
the mist far-reaching gains
ever made in the field of race
relations were attained during
1950, Walter White, executive
secretary of the National Asso-
ciation for the Advancement of
Colored People, said in a re¬
port submitted today at the
Association s annual meeting in
( he Wilkie Memorial Building,
20 West 40th Street,
However, he warned, we face
one of the most difficult legis-
lat *ve struggles in American
history in the 82nd Congress,

darkness succeed, then the col¬
ored people of the world may
have their last hope of democ-
|>acy I^a’J’oyedi. because they
will not believe that the United
States can place democracy
above color prejudice.”
Te gains made last year, Mr
White said, had been won a 1

also stimulated “ a new respect
of the bigots for the Negro’s
struggle like for Dixiecrats, freedom.” Groups

TUSKEGEE. Ala., Dec. 31-
According to records compiled
in the Department of Records
and Research, Tuskegee Insti¬
tute, there were 2 persons
lynched during 1950.

past 5 years were: 1950, 2: 1949,

One of the victims was Char¬

son, who came to his father’s
assistance, was also wounded.
