First and most vehement of the subsequent protests was made to the Vestry of St. Matthew's Church by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. An open letter said: "If this statement has the sanction of the Vestry of St. Matthew's, it condemns the brand of Christianity, the clergyman, and the congregation from which it issues. . . .

Fortnight ago, having accepted a non-Equity Warner Brothers contract, having flayed Equity in an inter- view, he and his employers were sued by Equity for $1,000,000 damages and an injunction to prevent his acting without Equity sanction (TIME, July 29).

Equity charged that he had violated the agreement of June 5, asked for temporary restraining orders and, later, permanent injunctions to prevent Actor Marshall from working with Warner Brothers without Equity sanction.
