Wilkins: If
Someone Hits,

BY ADOLPH A SLAUGHTER
WASHINGTON (ANP)—“An eye
or an eye, a tooth for a tooth,'' is
not the NAACP way, declared Roy
Wilkins In a Washington speech last
-vsek. but he added, “if someone st
acks you or shoots into your
-hurch, you should fight back."
With this admonition, the
highest axeeetlva officer es the
National Aaeeclatlee far the

lecture on ‘‘Race and Politics" end

before members end guests of th*
Capital Press Club of Washington,
Wilkins was asked If be agreed
with the brother of Medgar Evers.

Negroes should arm themaelvee for
-heir own protection and survival.
Wilkin* whe earlier had sent

Heto. declared that the NAACP
has always believed In defend
ing and pretesting eneeelf, bat
retollatten far retaliation's mb*
was sat part es the eldest civil
righto organise lien's phUeeephy.
During the question and answer
period, Wilkins chastised an inter
rogator who wondered It all the
fuse over th* current civil righto
bill was Justified, since Negroes
will probably have to demonstrate
to get It enforced.
To diminish th* importance of the
bill on th* grounds of ito imme
diate effectiveness was, indeed, a 1
subtle argument of the bill's oppo
nents and Wilkins asid Negroes
should not fall into "this trap.”
He admitted that demonstrations
will have to continue after the bill
to paased, but he warned to demon- ;
strate to enforce "something” is
better than demonstrating to an
“force nothing.”
The NAACP leader admitted that
the civil righto bill is and will not
be e panacea for the civil rights
problems of the nation, but it is
indeed a legal leverage which can
be used to change the hearts of the
doubtful and force, it need be. the
actions of the recalcitrants to the
cause of Justice for all.
After showing sign* of disgust
with the thousands of Negroes in 1
both the North and South who can !
vote but do not—and who do not •
even bother to register, Wilkins
claimed that the real danger of Na- ,
groc* In this country la that they I
are getting too much Ilka whlta
people.
There are too many Negroes who
feci they have "arrived," he said,
nnd, like white folks, don't even
bother to icglster or vote.
"He's already free," he think*,
said Wilkins.
Scotching rumors of great divla
lons between hi* own organisation
and that of other civil rights or- j
Sanitations, Wilkins said that he
and other civil rights leaders meet
on the average of tvery six weeks
and that many of their efforts, da
spite what is said and assumed, are
