AT NAACP CONVENTION
Dixiecrats Nailed for Bloc Voting
ATLANTA — Southern poli
ticians who G'ecry “bloc voting”
by Negroes are the leading prac
titioners of this kind of political
action, NAACP Executive Sec-
Strong, Many-sided Attack on
Race Bias Called for by NAACP
ATLANTA — NAACP Gen
eral Counsel Robert L. Carter
proposed a three-pronged as
sault on northern discrimination
here this week inf the areas of
housing, educfition and labor.
He suggested that NAACP
UBita coordinate their efforts so
that local discriminatory prac-
ticas are iiit three ways at once,
with legal redress as the final
weapon, when and as needed.
These proposals were made to
Aaaociations leaders during tiieir
53rd annual convention, July 2-
8.
“Litigation alone does not suf
fice,’ said the Association’s top
attorney, who outlined the more
cohesive approach: basic study of
the problem; formulation of a
proposed solution; negotiations
with responsible officials to seek
affirmative action; conununity
education such as^ pivk^^g,
speeches, sit-ins, mass d^mdn-
strations and wide-spread i pui}-
licUy. j
“Then comes litigation, jU all
Clae fails,” said Mr. Carter who
placed special emphasis on the
big cities artd their suburbs.
The proposal, which was en
thusiastically received called for
a “task force consisting of the
AsMciation's national office staff
officials in charge of housing,
lal>or and imiiistry and educa
tion programs, a national staff
counsel and a member of the re
gional field staff."
These persons would be (^s-
patched as a group to major
northern and western cities and
advise local NAACP workers
who would have primary re
sponsibility for initiating the
program.
He said that 49 per cent of
the Negro people now live out
side the South, mostly in large
cities like New York, Chicago,
Philadelphia, Detroit, Cleveland,
Los Angeles, St. Louis ah& Balti
more.
Most oj these cities have no
formal laws requiring discrimi
nation, however, Mr. Carter add
ed, “the Negro is regulated to a
status of subservience, as de
pressed as that in the South."
His proposal seeics to counter
act this trend.
Mr. Carter later conducted the
woricshop seminar on southern
school desegregation. He review
ed developments in the continu
ing effort to accelerate the pace
of desegregation in that region.
Serving as consultants were Dr.
Aaron Henry, Claricsdale, Miss.
S. W. Tucker, Emporia, Va.;
Folyd McKisaick, Durham, N.
C.; and Mrs. Maxine Smith,
Memphi.s, Tenrt.
retary Roy Wilkins charged in
ttie closing address of the week-
long 53rd annual NAACP con
vention here Sunday afternoon.
The final convention session
also witnessed the presentation
of the 47th Spingarn Meo'al to
Robert C. Weaver, Administra
tor of the Housing and Home
Finance Agency, for “distinguish
ed public service to his city,
state and nation."
‘‘We are rebuked,” Wilkins
said, “for what our political op
ponents call ‘bloc voting.' By
this they mean assessing is-,
sues and candidates on the
basis of race and voting on that
basis. The assumption is that
they never vate on a color bloc
basis, that they never act politi-
