BIAS AT STATES RIGHTS MEETING By J. Edward Haycraft Segregation, one of the most offensive and yet unwarranted forms of race prejudice reared its ugly head at Memorial Auditorium, Wednesday night when the few Negroes who took advantage of the opportunity of hearing Governor J. Strom Thurman of South Carolina, States Rights candidate for President, were requested to either sit in the balcony or leave the building. The audience, estimated at about 600 persons, was unsegregated at the start of the rally. It is said that the protest was made by a reporter on a local daily and a member of the local States Rights committee, who sat on the platform, and who on noticing the few colored people sitting on the main floor came down and ordered their withdrawal. Among those asked to move were Miss Nettie Alice Broaddus and William Lanier, members of the staff of the Louisville Defender who left the building instead of accepting the balcony offer. Two or three more Negroes remained on the  main floor without moving and were not further molested.
