This Scorches the D.A.R.

Raleigh NC - A picture like this had not been obtained in previous years in the
gubernatorial offices of the deep and solid South. Past prejudices seem to be melting
away in Noth Carolina at least -- and here we see Clyde R. Hoey chatting in his office
with Miss Marian Anderson, a world-famous Negro contralto, after hearing her at a concert
he had expressed a desire to compliment her personally. This was a direct rebuff by the
Governor, to the D.A.R., which had refused permission of the Washington, D.C. audi-
torium to Marian Anderson last year.
