WASHINGTON---The U.S. Supreme Court ruled this week that New Orleans 

must allow Negroes to utilize its municipal auditorium. 

The victory was won by attorneys of the NAACP Legal Defense

Trouble arose when Horace C, Bynum of the local NAACP chapter 

attempted to secure the auditorium for a meeting, 

He was denied despite the fact that the White Citizens’ 

Councils had been permitted to use the facilities.
