Walter White Wants NAACP Secretaryship
CHICAGO, March 28.- Rumors that Walter White wants his office of executive secretary of the NAACP back were verified here last week by Walter White in an exclusive interview. White told an ANP reporter that he expects to return to office when his leave is up May 31.
The NAACP board of directors will act on White's return at the regular May 8th meeting, according to Roy Wilkins, acting secretary, in New York.
White was in Chicago for a brief stay to visit friends there before going to Springfield, Illinois. He said that he had withdrawn his resignation and was ready to return to work.
In the meantime from New. York, Wilkins verified the fact that White had officially withdrawn his resignation. White submitted his resignation in May 1949, according to Wilkins, and withdrew it March 13, 1950.
When White first attempted to resign the board refused to accept, and instead voted him a year's leave of absence. Just what action it will take at its May meeting no one will venture to say.
