NEW YORK An American Legion invita tion to participate in a national anti-Communist conference was j rejected this week by the j NAAC board of directors in a j letter to National American Lt-g- I ion Commander George X. Craig. While expressing the A.vsucia- tion’s oppositiun to Commuuisaa Dr. Louis T. Wright, ehairman of the NAACP board, a&berted that the N*\ACP feels that “the effective way to combat Coiu- muuism is to build . . , an Amer ica that will be so meauiugful for every eitizen that Commun ist mis-sionaries will fiml no eon- vei’ts willing to listen . . . an America without racial discrim ination and segregation, with complete economic, political, ami social eiiuality for all men.” Dr, Wright notetl that among the organizations joining the Legion's anti-Communist cru- saile are several "who favor the -•5‘gregation of Negro Americans in the armed services and in vet erans’ organizations others who bar Negro artists from their properties, others who oppo«k.‘ e- qiiality of opportunity' in em ployment; still others who favor segregated schools, lily-white re sidential areas, and exelu.sion of Negro Americans from places of public acconimoilation.’’ Dr, Wright stated that the NAACP “cannot collaborate with thos‘ who would maintain the inejual- ities of the color bar.” Following the eonftMvnee heM in New York, .lanuarv 2''-2'* at whicli the N'AACP was not n‘- presented, it was announced that a position on the continuations committee was being held open for the Association. The board action rejects all collaboration in this movement. ■ iiiw-;r;ir;.. - 'li • ’ :n.-t N.
