STUDENTSMAY QUIT I JOHNSON GOES Threaten Walkout at Howard U. if Trustees Oust President. Threats to walk out if Dr. Mordecal ‘W. Johnson is removed as president of Howard University were voiced today at & meeting cf the student body. ‘The institution’s board of trustees will meet tomorrow. Consideration probably will be given to a recent state- ment by Chairman Wood of the House Appropriations Committee, that he would scrutinize with unusual care Howard funds suggested in the future if Dr. Johnson remained as president. There, was & spontaneous outburst of I'grf.efl:lme when Pauline Myers, one of | members of the student council who spoke at today’s meeting, admon- iched the pupils to go cn a strike in Johnsen's support if necessary. She characterized Johnson as & man “of high moral character, keen intelligence, manly courage and great leadership ability.” Claims Marked Progress. ‘The girl charged “unscrupulous, petty, grafting politicians are attempting to swell their pocketbooks.” “They are selling their very souls,” she added. “We dream of a Howard University alongside of Harvard, Yale and Princeton. Dr. Johnson ie the only man to put it there.” Neble Peyton, another student who | presided, said Johnson’s four-ycar ad- ministration had besn marked by prog- Tess. “Shall we have a president like Dr. Johnson,” he asked, “who can raise $200,000 in the first year of his admin- istration for improvement of the phy- sical plant, or shall we have a man who will allow selfish interests to motivate his conduct?” Declaring all the students knew John- son had been under fire, Peyton argued: *“There is ever{.evidenee of sinister plot and intrigue back of this. We don't care whether our president is black, ‘white, yellow or green if he fosters con- structive work and we can see steam shovels going. We're not behind him because'he'’s a Negro, but since he is we are more than ever behind him.” Await Meeting of Trystees. “The attacks up>n Dr. Johnson,” said Mercer Mance, the last speaker, “are for the most part ungrounded. This 1s merely & plan of political schemers and tricksters to overthrow the mcst suc- cessful administration in Howard's his- tory. Dr. Johnson nof only has ob-, tained permanent Federal aid, but more i private gifts, a beiter faculty and im- | proved facilities.” As the meeting drew t> a close, Pey-; ton told the stucents to return to their “After .tomorrow’s meeting of the trustees,” he said, “we will know just| announced more ‘than 600, already had signed a petition the attacks upon Johnson. Affer the meeting students march- ed in"a body from chapel to the , where their shouts resulted in nce of Johnson. He was applauded after thanking tha for their support. ‘of Dr. Johnson have an- a mass meeting for tonight at in the Metropostan Maptist street between Twelfth and stu tacks upon him.
