Unlik° the earlier convention,
which had met quietly in a
small church in the city's Negro
district, moist of last week’s
sessions were held municipal in the city’s audi¬
marble-front
torium. The 781 delegates and
their wives were officially wel¬
comed bv Mayor William B
Hartsfiled, who showed a spirit
rare in Southern officeholders
by greeting them as “disting¬
uished guests, ladles and gontle-

No Trouble
The 1920 convention had
taken a defensive stand by de-
plori ig lynehings (65 that vear
against 2 in 1950) and pleading
for more civil rights. Last week

| such speakers as Author Lillian
j Smith. Dr. Ralph Bunehe and
NAACP Secretary waiter White
the son of an Atlanta mailman,
hammered away J at the con-
vention s main theme: .. End _ .
Segregation Now! They had met
in Atlanta to dramatize
fight against segregation, but,
unlike Communist groups, did
not defy it in practice just to
stir up trouble. Only French
Singer Josephine Baker tried to
«ct into one of the city's fivst-
elass hotels, and being refused
staved away from the conven¬
tion. Most, delegates staved at
private homes or in dormitories
at Atlanta (Negro) University.
Police bent over backwards
to spo that delegates were not
molested. One bus driver, who
seemed more confuted than in¬
dignant when two girl dele¬
gates, one white and one
colored, entered his bus and sat
together, called for a eon. After
the nolieeman spotted the con¬
vention badges worn by the
<drls, he instructed the driver
to go ahead and sav nothing.
The’ city’s segregation ordinance
was also quietly set. aside so
that delegates could hold a
dance at a local dance hall.
Police Escort
Atlanta’s largest non-segre-
gated audience since Recon¬
struction days jammed the
municipal auditorium to hear
a speech bv Nobel Prizewinner
Bunehe, which closed the six-
day convention. He lashed the
Senate for failing to pass Civil
Rights legislation, said bluntly:

heroes, even if he wore the

non-Negro, even if he were a
deserter, a traitor or a Com¬

so . . Equailtv is all the Negro
