It was written by Kay Crews of San Antonio at the Observer’s request with the idea that it might suggest procedures to other communities that want to set up local theNegro friends may politely ask if they may come into our church on a Sunday morning to worship. Certainly Christian love has no answer but to kindly plant the request. While he could tell by compressed lips and meaningful frowns that some members of Augustana did not agree, no one openly opposed Rev. Seastrand’s position on integration at that point. Later there were rumblings that 50. percent of the membership would leave if the policy continued. On several other occasions that year Rev. Seastrand brciught up the . “chalrenge of integration” to his congregation, emphasizing repeatedly that he was not submitting his personal opinion but that his position was dictated by his “Lord and Bible.” Speaking’ on the “responsibility of Augustana,” he pointed out : We are aware of the Negro in our community. The circumstance, I know, is one for concern among some of our congregation, and I am frank to say that for a long time this has been a matter of deep concern to me, not that I am disturbed in the presence of Negroes, but by the disturbance of some of you, my people …. It is not my purpose to force upon you my own convictions and attitudes. I do not sa y you have to believe as I do, but it is my purpose to endeavor to lead you into the word of God …. As Lutherans we hol,d basically that the Bible is our Presidential Racing Form AUSTIN The latest Gallup Poll on Democratic presidential prospects places Lyndon Johnson well down the national list but shows he is very strong in the South among Democratic c ounty chairmen. In the nationwide pot, Johnson drew only 7 percent as against 29 for Stevenson, 21 for Kefauver, .12 for Symington, and 8 for Harriman. However, Richard Russell, Harry Byrd, .arid Johnson together got 20 _percent. In the South, only 22 percent of the chairmen supported Stevenson and 12 percent Kefauver, whereas Johnson got 15 percent and Johnson, Byrd, and Russell together got 49 percent. Byrd and Russellas well as most of the other potent senators of the Southhave endorsed Johnson.

To speak of a church deciding to open its doors to minority ‘group members is to betray a fundamental misconception of the very nature of the church. Man may indeed decide to close the doors of a particular. congregation but he does so at the cost of doing what may be irreparable damage to his brother’s soul, and possibly to. loss of his own. Book of James : To him that knoweth to. do good and doeth it not, to him it is sin.” But, says Rev. Seastrand, in the beginning, the Christian faith of some of his most devout members was sorely tried by prejudice. At one point, six members of Augustana’s 18-member ‘board voted to move the church to another location. The pastor, while affirming that the proposition was proper from a legal viewpoint, declared that “morally it is positively irreconcilable with Christian brotherhood. We may be able to remove ourselves geographically from this problem …. but we can’t move ourselves responsibilities.” Rev. Seastrand emphasized that it was not his wish or intent to “force integration on anyone.” He said: “There will be Negroes, like some white people, who will keep together, but, it must be a matter of choice, not force.” LEGAL ADVERTISEMENTS CITATION BY PUBLICATION `THE STATE OF TEXAS TO Al Beckman, Defendant, in the hereinafter styled and numbered cause. to appear before tbe 126th Judicial District Court of Travis County, Texas., to be held at the courthouse of said county in the City of Austin, Travis County, Texas, at or before 10 o’clock A.M. of the first Monday after the expiration of 42 days from the date of issuance hereof ; that is to say, at or before, 10 o’clock A.M. of Monday the 4th day of June 1956, and answer the petition of plaintiff in Cause Number 103,982, in which Zel, phie Beckman is Plaintiff and Al Beckman is defendant, filed in said Court on the. 17th day of April, 1956, and the nature of which said suit is as follows: Being an action and prayer for judgment in favor of plaintiff and against Defendant for de-. cree of divorce dissolving the bonds of matrimony heretofore and now existing between said parties.

Directors, as well as actors and playwrights, were found right in the group, and Carl Glick, and Coates Gwynne when he came along, were always willing supervisors. The president of the workshop was a member of the Little Theatre Board of Directors. This workshop functiOned for five years very successfully, two in the stable-loft and three in the old Green Gate Theatre, but then it was absorbed into the workshop acquired in the meantime by the major organization. SALT, after rehearsing in various hotels and homes and building sets anywhere and everywhere, had established a workshop. First it was in a huge, drafty barn on Austin Street; then it was moved to a two-storied building, complete with service elevator and spiral ,stairway, on San Pedro Street; for the past ten years it has been in the area reclaimed by the late Mayor Maury MaverickLa Villita. ACTORS AND technicians for the Little Theatre productions are found everywhere in the town, at military bases, in the schools, in business and professions, or in the home. \(Many a housewife and mother has season 143 actors, 182 technicians, and 240 doormen and ushers, participated in the season’s six plays. During that season 16,321 attended the productions. SALT has, on a number of occasions, gone beyond the San Pedro Playhouse with its productions. “Everyman” was presented in the Sunken Garden Theatre in outdoor extravaganza style. Two melodramas, with -olios, have been produced in Music Hall fashion: the first, “Fashion,” at the K.C. Hall in pecember, 1949; the second, a revival of “Gold in the Hills,” by San Antonio’s J. Frank Davis, at the Corral Room of the Pearl Brewing Company, in October, .1955. “Light Up the Sky” and “Rope,” in 1950, were presented in Tudor stagMenger Hotel’s Minuet Room. In 1951 “The Curious Savage” was produced in the auditorium of the Alamo Heights High School. A lot of the shows have been taken to the various Army and Air Force bases, as well as to the hospitals at Lackland and Fort Sam Houston.,Last season one show was presented, by request, in guest performance at the Little Theatre in Lake Charles, Louisiana. As an example of growing interest of the community, several plays each year are sponsored by civic organizations, clubs, sororities, and other groups that work in cooperation with SALT in the sale of tickets. Director Joe Salekand Little Theatre players pailticipate in outside activities allied to theatre. Salek judges speech and play tournaments and lectures at schools or clubs on theatre, drama, acting and technique. Twice he has directed Little Theatre actors in one act plays for the annual speech arts luncheon in the Anacacho Room of the St. Anthony Hotel. He has directed several dramatized style shows for clubs and stores. He, with Mrs. Harold Greenlee, Mrs. David Sacks, and others, each season helps in casting senior plays at. the high schools. He and. Miss Kay Crews have several times sat in on the rehearsals of Negro Little Theatre plays as consultants.
