WILBERFORCE, O. (ANP) The National YMCA Secretaries' and Laymen's institute of the Chesapeake Summer school voted to do away with a separate and segregated institute and urged secretaries to integrate themselves with the regularly established institutes.
In addition, the institute voted that a conference for laymen and YMCA secretaries will be held annually, but not for the purpose of training as the already-existing white institutes are doing.
ADVOCATES LISTED
Leading advocates for the policy of integration included Dr. Howard H. Long, chairman of the Laymen's conference: Washington; Matthew G. Carter, Richmond, Va., YMCA executive secretary; David N. Howell, associate executive of the southern area council, YMCA, Atlanta, and P. J. Hauser, Detroit.
One of the principal institute speakers, Dr Joseph Lohman, emphasized the development of strategy and tactics in the field of race relations. Speaking on the subject, "Intercultural Education in the Domestic Scene," he stated that the south may have to accept the strategy of "segregated but equal facilities" for the time being, but it should never be content until it moves into the orbit of full equality. 'In other words the strategy of the south should be to move progressively. It should move from A to B but never become satisfied with B until it moves into C." he declared.
Dr. Lohman is affiliated with the University of Chicago and Julius Rosenwald fund.
ELECTED OFFICERS
Among officers elected for the next year are H. W. Pope, New York, president; R. W. Puryear Dallas; E. R. Stors, Richmond Va., and James E. Cook, St. Louis, all vice-presidents; Hilmar L. Jensen, Trenton, N. J. secretary and Ellis B. Weatherless, Brooklyn treasurer.
