The NAACP, Roy Wilkins said in a telegram to the President, believes the con finement of the men is "pun itive, unnecessary and not in the best interests of the Navy."

Yet, he added, for three weeks after the October 12-13 racial flareup aboard the super car rier the men were unconfined and worked dutifully aboard the ship. Mr. Wilkins noted that the NAACP had undertaken the defense of the men, and, "there is no question of their not being available for trial." Also, he said, their confine ment "inhibits effective con sultation with counsel and preparation for trial." Mr. Wilkins released the text of the telegram on Fri day, Dec. 8, a day after it was sent, during a news con ference at the NAACP Na tional Office in New York City.
