HO CHRISTMAS BOYCOTT:’ NAACP
CORE Still Undecided
On Yule Buying Plans
NEW YORK (ANP) The proposed Christmas shopping
boycott failed to win the support of the NAACP last week.
CORE, meanwhile, is polling its local branches to decide
what action it will take.
However, the Southern Christian Leadership conference of
which the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., is president, is going
ahead with its plans to promote the boycott
The NAACP position was set
forth by Roy Wilkins, executive
secretary, in a letter to Louis Lo
max, one of the leaders of the
Writers and Artists far Justice,
who first made the proposal.
The professional group, which
is also headed by James Baldwin,
author, and Ruby Dee, the actress,

Birmingham on Sept. 15.
