Discrimination against Negro hostesses in Boston canteens was discussed by ex-president Guild of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People at a meeting of the Wendell Phillips Club of the A. Y. D. (American Youth for Democracy) last Friday at 8 o'clock.

President Guild told how the Buddies-Bay State Club, the famous canteen on Boston Common, had at first opposed the admission under any conditions of Negro hostesses, and later had admitted them only with discriminatory regulations. Therefore, the NAACP is sponsoring a new canteen, the United Nations Canteen for all races and creeds, which will be opened by January in Back Bay.

The club responded enthusiastically to President Guild's request for help, and a campaign was mapped to recruit hostesses from Radcliffe.

The Wendell Phillips Club, long a leading liberal organization, draws most of its members from Harvard, although it includes students at Radcliffe, M. I. T., and Northeastern. Since its recent affiliation with the A. Y. D., the national antifascist youth movement, it has circulated petitions endorsing the Lynch-Dickstein Bill to restrict racial and religious propaganda from the mails and has backed the program drawn up by Professor Gordon W. Allport, head of the Psychology Department, to fight race prejudice.
