TWENTY-THIRD YEAR, NO. 3 CA. 2-0922
Packed Courtroom Hoars Arguments:
Alabama State Supreme
Court Reserves Decision
In NAACP Petition
Montgomery, Ala.—Followi
argument, the Alabama State !
Monday, Aug. 13, reserved decif
NAACP for a review of Circuit
injunction and SIOO,OOO contem
the association. In a courtroom
assistant special counsel Robert I
L. Carter of New York argued in
support of a brief filed last week
pointing out legal errors in
Judge Jones' conduct of the trial
and raising five pertinent points
of law. Alabama attorney general
John Patterson argued that the
NAACP brief was insufficient.
The hearing was to determine
whether or not the state's highest
court will grant the NAACP peti
tion for a writ of certiorari, or re
view of the ease, on the ground
that “there is no statutory author
ity in Alabama to oust" an out-of
state corporation.
The 31-page brief, filed here on
August 7, raised five points of
law and cited ten errors in Judge
Jone's conduct of the case in the
lower court. These errors, the
brief asserted, violate the rights
of the NAACP and its members
"to due process of the law and
equal protection of the laws secur
ed under the Fourteenth Amend
ment to the Constitution of the
United States" and also violates
the Association's rights under the
Constitution's commerce clause.
The fine was levied against the
NAACP by Judge Jones on July
30 because the Association de
clined to turn over to the Ala
bama Attorney General its mem
bership list in that state as or
dered by the court.
The demand for the list of mem
bers was made during trial of the
suit to determine if the Associa
tion was "illegally doing business
in Alabama." Although the
NAACP had offered to register
with the Department of Revenue
and the Secretary of State, is was
refused an opportunity to do so
by the circuit court.
NAACP Withholds Names
In an affidavit filed with the
circuit court on July 30, Roy
Wilkins, NAACP executive secre
tary cited economic pressures,
threats, and intimidation of NA
ACP members and others who
support desegregation and civil
rights as reasons why the As
sociation could not turn over the
names and addresses of its mem
bers in Alabama. "The atmos
phere- in Alabama and the inci
dents that have taken place
there.” he declared, “have been
such that we feel morally com
pelled to protect our members at
whatever cost."
In addition to contending that
Alabama “has no absolute power
to exclude" an out-of-state cor
poration the NAACP raised four
other points of law. The brief
holds that the amount of the fine
exceeds the court's power and is
so "excessive and arbitrary as to
violate (the NAACP's) constitu
tional and statutory rights ”
Further, the brief asserted, the
court's Injunction "seeks to deny
and punish the petitioner and its
members for exercising rights of
free speech, freedom of associa
tion and the right to petition for
redress of grievances, all in vio
lation of the due proceas and equal
protection clause of the Four
teenth Amendment”
Also the brief pointed out the
court's order to produce the mem
bership list "was arbitrary and in
derogation of petitioner's right to
refuse to give evidence which
might tend to incriminate it or its
members.”
Court Permits "Fishing
Expedition"
In granting the Attorney Gen
erals demand for the membership
list, which the NAACP contends
is not material to the cause of ac
tion the court "sanctioned the
state to conduct a fishing expedi
tion in violation of petitioner’s
right.” the brief asserted.
The NAACP has expressed a
willingness and desire to register
and has submitted to the court
all of the documents requested ex
cept those which reveal the names
and addresses of association mem
bers in Alabama the brief indicat
ed.
Maintaining that "the contempt
is criminal in nature" since it was
assessed as punishment, the NA
ACP petition asserted that “the
court could only assess as a pen
alty ... a fine of S3O or at most
$100."
The court failed, the NAACP
charged, to “consider the amount
of the defendant's financial re
sources the consequent serious
ness of the burden to the parti
cular defendant end whether the
ing an hour and a half of full
Supreme Court in Montgomery
sion on the petition filed by the
t Court Judge Walter B. Jones'
npt of court fine levied against
packed to overflowing, NAACP
refusal constituted the only ave
nue by which a claimed constitu
tional right could be preserved for
review by a higher court.”
Conceding that state officials
may object to and question the
wisdom of the NAACP program
and objective, the NAACP brief
makes it clear that “they cannot
restrict petitioner in its efforts to
secure this objective by persua
sion and through the courts.
Members of the petitioner corpor
ation have sought, under petition
er's aegis, to exercise these
rights.”
State Machinery Biased
The brief further charged that
"entire legislative and executive
state machinery of Alabama is
committed to a frustration of the
rights of colored citizens of the
state to secure through the courts
and public opinion the elimination
of state-impoeed burdens incident
to racial segregation."
And finally, the brief asserts
that under the Alabama code the
Association and Its members are
"subject to criminal penalty.”
Accordingly, "the state's request
for the names and addresses of
petitioner’s members ... in the
state would give evidence to carry
out criminal prosecution of peti
tioner, its officers and its mem
bers. Under the state's theory,
therefore, the petitioner's right to
refuse to give such evidence is
unquestioned, and the court should
have overruled the state's motion
for this reason."
Representing the Association in
the cas> before the Alabama State
Supreme Court were Robert L.
Carter of New York, the Associa
tion's assistant special counsel;
and NAACP attorneys Arthur D.
Shores of Birmingham and Fred
D. Gray of Montgomery.

Elsenhower Saya:
Education Best To
Get South To Comply
On Desegregation
By Alice A. Dunnigan
Washington (ANP)— The
South's compliance with the Su
preme Court's desegregation or
der for public schools can best be
accomplished by education, no
matter how much law we have,
stated President Elsenhower this
week.
"We have a job of educating and
getting the people to understand
the Issues involved," declared the
Chief Executive.
These observations were made
at his Wednesday news conference
in reply to a reporter question on
whether the Administration has
any plans to enforce the high
court's decision this fall.
Elsenhower was reminded that
as the school year approaches it
is becoming more apparent that
some states are not proceeding
with deliberate speed to carry out
the Supreme Court's decision on
school integration.
To this the President replied
that some states can unquestion
ably begin to make this change
earlier and more efficiently than
others
The Chief Executive reminded
reporters that they must not for
get that the pattern of school seg
regation had been practiced in the
South from 1896 to 1934.
Reforms must be made by ed
ucation. he emphasized, adding
that the Supreme Court realized
this. ‘That is why it was reluct
ant to just issue an order for
compliance, but instead recom
mended that the order be imple
mented with "deliberate speed."
And that is why it left the first
jurisdiction up to the local Fed
eral District Judges."
The President admitted, how
ever. that the District Courts will
have to take some cognizances If
there is no action taken at all in
their areas.
On the question as to whether
he thought the Republican plat
form should contain a plank
specifically endorsing the Su
preme Court Decision, the Presi
dent replied that he did not know
how their particular point is going
to be stated. He said he had given
no thought of his own on just
whether it should be stated in that
way.
The President further stated
that he has no plans at the mo
ment to create a bipartisan com
mission to study civil rights since
the Congress had defeated his bill
calling for such a comrhission.
Boycott Attorney To
Appeal Draft Notice
To The President
Montgomery, Ala.— (ANP)
Atty. Fred D. Gray. 26, who has
been active in the Negro boycotts
of city buses, gave notice last
week that he may ask President
Eisenhower to review a ruling by
the National Selective Service Ap
peals Board upholding his 1-A
classification.
Gray was ordered to report for
induction into the armed forces
August 16.
The young lawyer, who is also
an ordained minister, had been
classified 4-D until he began hand
ling the case of five Negro women
who filed suit to outlaw Mont
gomery and Alabama segregation
laws.
Shortly after the suit was filed,
the local draft board reclassified
him 1-A. He appealed the case to
the national board, which ruled
on It last week.
While the review was pending in
Washington. Gray was given a
pre-inductlon physical examina
tion and found acceptable.
“I feel that the only reason my
draft status was changed was be
cause of my activities In the bus
boycott," Gray said.
"Since I*4B. I have been classi
as 4-D by the local draft board.
There never was any objection by
the board to that classification,
given to me as assistant pastor
of Holt Street church of Christ.
'Then only a few days after I
became active in the boycott, I
was called in by the darft board
and told that I was classified 1-A.
No reason wax given."
Chairman F A. Miller of the
board said that the deferment was
originally given Gray because he
was active pastor of the church,
but that the church since has ac
quired a pastor
"That isn't the case," Gray said
in reply T am still assistant pas
tor and have been conducting ser
vices each Sunday this summer.”
The young lawyer was married
last month If he is inducted there
will be only one Negro lawyer
left in Montgomery, Charles D
Langford Langford has worked
with Gray In the bus boycott and a
recent court suit filed against the
NAACP.

Transcripts Ready
In Boycott Trial
Of Rev. King
Montgomery, Ala. (ANPj— A
way was cleared last w«'k for an
appeal of the circuit court deci
sion that convicted Rev Martin L.
King, president of the Montgom
ery Improvement Association and
leader of the hard hitting Negro
bus boycott here, when bulky
transcripts of the court records in
volved in the case were completed.
The noted minister waa convict
ed last March of an ancient law
charging him with illegal boycot
ting.
He was found guilty of "foster
ing an illegal boycott against
the Montgomery City Transit Co.”
Rev. King has since headed a
powerful Negro crusade to stop
riding buses in protest of Ala
bama’s segregated seating sys
tem.
The vast record of testimony
and evidence In the trial, prepared
by a court reporter, will be the
largest ever presented in a circuit
court for a single case.
More than 560 pages are includ
ed in the report, requested by Rev.
King’s attorneys for an appeal of
his conviction to the State Court
of Appeals.
The Rev King case became a
test case for the indictment of
more than 90 prominent Negro
leaders accused of promoting the
boycott.

Minnesota Delegation Gets
Thrill Ride To Convention
Upon Arrival Sunday
By Cecil E Newman, Staff Writer
Chicago, Aug. 13- This is a fabulous city, remarked Wil
lard Jones, Stevenson pledged delegate from Minnesota, aa the
Minnesota delegation alighted from chartered buses which had
whisked the Gopher State delegation from the Union Station to
the Ampitheatre, "its the only place I've Men jackasses riding
in Cadillacs. ”
Willard pointed out to hilarious
bystanders a huge Cadillac with
a jackass or donkey riding in the
back seat, calmly observing the
convention through ths bar’s back
window.
Arriving here Sunday on a
special coach on the Burlington
Zephyr. the delegates and al
ternates were taken by buses to
the scene of the convention, to
take part In a live CHS televi
sion broadcast which WCCO
viewers probably saw Munday
afternoon.
The trip from the station was
the wildest ride we’ve ever had.
with the exception of a journey
across town in a police squad
car several years ago when the
police car in which we were rid
ing answered a call to go to the
scene of a reported holdup.
Riding before and with the
buses were ten Chicago motor
cycle cops with sirens blowing and
blasting through Chicago air to
lead the calvacade at a 65 mile
per hour dip through the town's
streets.
The broadcast was scheduled
for 4fi ml miles after our train
arrived and the police escort
and speed was neeeeaary to get
the delegation to the stadium.
It was some experience for the
delegation and a symbolic intro
duction to the exciting week in
store for delegatee and visitors to
the convention.
llrass bands were present on
most loop street corners Sund w '
afternoon and everywhere one
fumed there was somebody try
ing to pin a button on ymi.

campaign for the Vice-Presiden
tial nomination.
The 6,000 Humphrey for Vice
President buttons went like hot
cakes aa hundreds thronged the
Humphrey headquarters at the

Humphrey admirers gathered at
a reception given by National
Committer-man Gerald Heaney and
State chairman Ray Hemenway,
and housing chairman John Curtis
Sunday night.
The Congress Hotel headquar-
ters suite of the Minnesota delega
tion was packed and Jammed with
well wishers of the Minnesota
junior Senator whose out and
out campaign for the second spot
on the Democratic ticket is called
unprecedented.
The Minnesota delegation, divid
ed aa to Its choice of a Presiden
tial nominee between Stevenson
and Harriman also at the time
thia la written Is preparing to
caueas to hold a possible discus
sion at to what to do In event
there is a contest between Senator
Rates Kefauver who won 26 of the
30 delegate votes In the Minneso
ta primaries and Senator Hum
phrey, their party leader in Min
nesota.
Kefauver, despite his with
drawal from the Presidential nom
ination race Is still popular with
the Minnesota delegation which
he urged to support Adlal Steven
son.

At this time before the delega
tion had met with Senator Ke
fauver there Is no Indication that
the Senator will be able to in
flunec more than half the Gopher

bandwagon, since over half the
delegation appears to favor Gov.

Chicago, Aug. 14 Negro dele
gates and civil rights advocates,
chiefly the labor union group,
while pleased generally by key-
note speaker Gov. Frank Clem
ents’ speech were dissatisfied with
his moderate civil rights ap
proach.
Tuesday morning several Im
portant Negro leaders from the
Democrats For A Strong Civil
Rights Plank Committee called on
former President Harry Truman
and Senator Lyndon Johnson of
Texas, insisting that they support
a civil rights plank acceptable to
Negro voters who are the chief
objects of U. 8. race discrimina
tion.
Truman, who newspapers had
reported as favoring reiteration
of the ’’4B’’ and ’W planks when
told Negro Democrats did not fa
vor such an approach In the ’W
platform and considered It un
satisfactory then told the delega
tion and newsmen present that
he urged a strong plank in sup
port of the supreme court decis
ion.
The visit to Lyndon Johnson
found him. of course, no red hot
civil rights advocate, but he told
the delegation he realized that
the platform would have to bo
written so as to make It palatable
to Northern Negro voters. Fur
ther than that. Johnson, who says
now he is a serious candidate for
the Presidential nomination,
would not go.
The same group is seeking a
meeting with Paul Butler, Na
tional committeeman of whom Ne
gro Democrats are critical be
cause he has taken sides against
a strong rights plank.
