Mary Jane MacNamara and Edgar
Perretz, seniors, attended the American Youth congress which was
conducted In Washington, D. c . last
weekend.
The outstanding part of t h e
congress according to State's representatives was meeting, among
the four thousand who attended,
people from all walks of life. There
w e r e share-croppers, migratory
workers from California, college
students, even a representative from
a Cuban group. In all, there were
about sixty-three different groups
represented. Miss MacNamara urged
that people take all newspaper accounts of red riots at the conference
with a very large grain of salt. She
further stated that the meetings
were all very orderly and that any
disburbances were efficiently removed.
