President Randolph's contract was the product of a twelve-year campaign. Born in Crescent City, Fla. in 1889, the son of a Methodist preacher, he made his name as founder-editor of the crusading Negro Messenger. For his opposition to U.

Because he felt that Brynhild, his wife, might take a less than sympathetic view, he planned his ensuing publicity campaign in secret, with such conscience-bolstering sentiments as: "No human beings have ever really seen themselves. . . .
