In the letter to the churches in which the Conimittee asked the pastors to read to their con gregation, the “Committee for Jeba for Negroes^ asked that a broad'community-wide commit tee be formed immediately to press for establishment of ade quate restroom facilities for Ne groes, ioc. the various downtown stores not now maintaining them. i A spokesman for the Com mittee further stated that the local Merchants Association had been contacted about this rest room problem. The Merchants Association Board of Directors, through its president, W. S. Burns, stated that the Associa tion had no power in su(^ a matter, and that ansrthing done would have to be carried out with the individual stores. It is well-known that a great m^ny Negroes who trade in the dolvntown area irked by this restroom condition which forces thent to leave the downtown area to find, facilities to use. Some stores pointed out to Ithe committee that tlie reason that they do not maintain fa cilities for Negroes is that they do not hav« the space tor such and that whites would object to using the same facilities with NegroM. However, a spokesman for the committee has observed tiiat the same restroom facilities are used by both Negro and persons in most filling stations in this area, many of these gas stations serving a tremendous number of people and their rest rooms getting more uses than many of ttte downtown stores which claim that their white customers would object to us ing the same facilities with Ne groes. annual affair.

Miss Ruth Council, a member of the committee, , said .t^t U was the committee’s hope that Negroes in the State would be giv^n the “very best possible training and facilities available. According to records, the best facilities for nurse training in the State are at, the University of North Carolina, whose stu dents use the multi-million dol lar Memoral Hospital for clin ical experience. Hospital officials at Lincoln in Durham and L. Richardson Memorial at Greensboro, also backed the idea of setting up the proposed program. • A. and T. College had previ ously requested the State legis lature to establish a nurse train ing program at its camplis. MEYERS OP CALIFORNIA VISIT DURHAM Recent visitors of Miss F. B.

LOUIS NEW YORK Board and staff members of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People were this week pre paring plans for implementing the comprehensive resolutions adopted by the delegates to the Association's 44th annual con vention in St. Louis last week. In addition to approving the 10-year plan to complete emancipation and the setting np of the “Fighting Fond For Freedom,” the oonventlon passed raaolntlons aatabllsh- ing a national yonth eomult- tee, setting np prooadiurw for legal action, calling for ez- pansloB of pabilc relattons (aeilltlss and approvlag the calling of a fepeoial meeting to promote elergy-NAACP rels- tlOM. Other resolutions reaffirmed the Association’s historic fight against segregation, decried “the tactics of Senator Joseph McCarthy and others who at tempt to deprive any person of his rights, liberty and freedom of thought,” rejected Com munism “as an anti-dmocra- tic way of life,” and called up on President Eisenhower “to restrict the loyalty and secur ity program to security-sensi tive ^^departments of govern ment, such as the State De partment, Defense Depart ment, the Atomic Energy Com mission, and the Federal Bur eau of Investigation.” Farther, the reaolntlons en dorsed the raee relations aer- vioe in federal honsIng, called for Intensifioatlon of the reg istration and voting campaign, urged the organisation of an other civil rights mobilisation, called for revision of Senate cldture Rule tt, reiterated the demand for enactment of civil rights legislation, and opposed “the current investigations in to education being carried on by the Velde Un-American Activities Cotimiittee." On the labor front, a resolu tion “hopefully calls upon the new leadership of the Ameri can Federation of Labor to take affirmative action to end the various forms of racial discrimination practiced by certain affiliated international unions,” and condemned “the continuation of these viciotu practices by the Railway Bro therhoods.” Moreover the re solution warned the local and state units of the NAACP a- gainst cooperation with Com munist controlled unions in cluding the National Negro Labor Council. The delegates re-affirmed their “belief In and snpport of old age aasistanee, unemploy ment insurance, vocational re habilitation programs, public recreational facilities, adequ ate hospital and medical fadtli- tles~, slum clearanoe, snd' ur ban redevelopment tor all cit- iiens on a non-segregated basis.” -St. Louis- (Continued from Page One) editorial, on June 29: John Foster Dulles owes more than a telegram to Walter White, who happened to be in position to make Mr. Dulles apologize abjectly. Secretary Dulles owes more than apologies to Alan Barth, Bert Andrews, Gen. Stil- well, Langston Hughes, the Lynds and many other authors. He owes a full and prompt ac counting to the American peo ple. Never before has there been any such trampling of freedom of thought tmder the authority of the United States Govern ment. This "buming of the books” is the most grievous of the blunders since Jan. 20 and it is not going to blow over. Dulles’ telegram was in re sponse to an inquiry by White when he learned that his book, "A* Rising Wind,” had been re moved from United States In formation Service libraries in India.
