CAPITOL CHANGES
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 26 (ANP) -As a protest against discrimination in the nation's capital, the Woman's Political Study club of Los Angeles named a personal envoy to present to President Truman a resolution condemning bias practices in Washington. The representative, Mrs. Betty Hill, a victim of rabid segregation practices when she was a delegate to a Republican convention in Washington, will deliver the resolution to President Truman as the first move in a campaign to "Clean Up Washington First."
The resolution, signed by both whites and Negroes, focuses attention on the system of racial discrimination existing in the District of Columbia, and urges that this be abolished in the seat of our federal government where citizens of every state of the union and representatives of foreign governments meet.
It is observed that many foreigners, observing Washington practices, carry away the idea that racial discrimination is a policy of our federal government.
