NEW YORK—The National As
sociation for the Advane^mcnt of
Colored People has pledged “its
continuing support of every con
structive effort” to eliminate the
causes of and curb juvenile de
linquency and adult crime.
A policy statement, adopted by
the Association’s Board of Direc
tors at its regular monthly meet
ing here on September 14 further
calls upon its branches through
out the country “to cooperate with
other responsible citizens and
agencies in this vital task.”
The Board statement "un
equivocally condemns criminal
acts and other violations of law
and order committed by anti
social individuals." Moreover, It
"recogniies that the motivation
for some misdeeds is rooted^in a
background of social disabilities
and ecqnomic inequities which
foment damaging psychological -
frustrations."
Not only “justly administered
action against offenders, but also
a massive attack by the total com
munity on the conditions which
produce anti-social behavior” are
required “to stem the rising tide”
of delinquency' and crime, the
NAACP Board declared.
“This is a responsibility shared
by all elements of the community,
one from which no segment of the
population is exempt,” the state
ment asserts. Governmental and
private agencies and individual
citizens alike have legitimate roles
to play in community wide efforts
to protect life and property, to up
hold the highest standards of pub
lic morality, to' safeguard the
rights and privileges of citizens,
and to eradicate the economic
and social cesspools which breed
crime.”
Asserting that "regard for law
and order and respect for the
enforcers of law are essential
in any community," the state
ment also indicates that a "re
gard for the rights of citizens
by law enforcement ofllclals" is
equally essential. "Only in a
socfely' In''which th$se mutuiP
responeibilltlos are recegnii#id
and upheld can effective action
be taken to reduce delinquency
and crime," it states.
^‘Mass hysteria will not do the
Job, vthe aUtemeiU continues
“Neither will disregard of citizens’
constitutional right*,, nor large-
scale indiscriminate arrests of al
leged offenders agltlnst whom
there is ho incriminating evi
dence.”
Pointing to the rise in delin
quency rates in other cities and
countries, the statement expresses
the conviction that ‘‘here, as else
where, crime and delinquency will

Seventeen more Prince Edward*
County Negro pupils are slated
to enroll at Kittrell College’s high
school, a spokesman for the
A. M. E. supported school said;
in Durham this week.
The Rev. Melvin C. Swann, pas
tor of St. Joseph’s A. M. E. Church
and a member of the trustee board
of the school, said a total of 67
pupils from Virginia county are
scheduled to enroll in the school
before Oct. 1.
'Twenty-six pupils from Prince
Edward County matriculated at
the school on Monday, bringing
the total students from that county
at Kittrell to 50.
Kittrell opened its doors to the
itudcnts after they had been de
prived on the public schools by
action, of the Prince Edward board
jf educa|.n which closed all
schools in the county rathf’r than
submit to a court order for de
segregation.
The move left some 1,700 Ne-
^ro pupils and 1,500 white pupils
without public schools.
Provisions were made for pri
vate schools in the county for
the white pupils. However, there
were no school facilities for the
Negroes.
The Virginia students are being
financed at Kittrell by fund drives
in Prince Edward County and Kit-
rell -College. The Kittrell board of
trustees granted a $200 scholar
ship for each student from the
oounty.
All high school juniors and
seniors, the students will live in
Kittrell dormitories.
Action to open Kittrell to the
students was led by Bishop Frank
M. Reid, presiding bishop of the
second A. M. E. district and chair
man of the Kittrell trustee board
Dr. M. A. Camper, newly elected
president of the school, termed
Reactivated some 10 years ago.
the school has been struggling to
raise its standards to the level it
once achieved before the school
was closed. One of the toughest
problems facing Kittrell adminis
trators is that of money.
Swann said the enrollment of
the Virginia students would place
no burden on the school’s facili
ties. He pointed out that it was
equipped to handle 75 high school
students in the 11th and 12th
grades.
Kittrell will be formally opened
on Oct. Uwhen the Rt. Rev. Roger
M. Baber, presiding bishop of the
first A. M. district delivers
the convocation address. The
school’s formal opening will be
Camper’s inauguration as presi
dent.
