Campaign To Prevent btradHion
Of Rev. DeLaine Backed By NAACP
NEW YORK
The campaign to prevent ex
tradition of the Rev. J. A. De
Laine to South Carolina has the
“fullest and most vigorous co
operation and support of the
NAACP,” Roy Wilkins, execu
tive secretary of the National
Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, has as
sured Bishop D. Ward Nichols
of the A.M.E. Church, in whose
custody the South Carolina
clergyman has been paroled.
Rev. DeLaine had been a lea
der of the NAACP branch in
filing the original school de
segregation case in Clarendon
County, S. C. Because of this
activity he was forced out of
Clarendon County and settled
elsewhere in the State. In his
new location, his life. was
threatened, his church was set
afire, and his home fired upon.

law e;iforcement officers, Rev.
DeLaine on a subsequent oc
casion, shot back at a car from
which shota. bad been fired at
his house.
He fled the state and sought
refuge with Bishop Nichols of
his churdi. Later the State of
South Carolina issued a war
rant for him for assault with a
deadly weapon. Bishop Nichola
has raised some $3500 to assist
the minister and has secured
New York attorney Richard E.
Carey as counsel.
In his letter to the bishop,
Wilkins assured him of legal as
well as community assistance
indicating that Robert L. Car
ter, NAACP assistant special
counsel, had conferred with Ca
rey on legal aspects of the case.
Gov. AvereU Harriman, the
NAACP secretary asserted,
should be informed of “the feel
ings of colored people and the
outrage of the A.M.K. Church
over the very idea of further
persecution of Rev. DeLaine.”

Solons Warned
Of Half Baked
'Rights' Laws
NEW YORK
'Action on a poll tax amend
ment to the Constitution by the
next session of the Congress
“will not be enough” to satisfy
the deniand for civil rights le
gislation. This was the - asser
tion of Roy Wilkins,_ NAACP
secretaiy, in a luncheon speech
here Monday, to delegates from
Region 9, United Automobile
workers in attendance at the
merger convention of the AFL-'
CIO.
“American citizens in Miss.,
and elsewhere in the South are
being murdered and nothlngi is
being done to protect them by
either-the state or Federal
governments,” Wilkins said,
“and the excuse of the Depart
ment of Justice is that it has no
poyfer to act under present civil
rights laws. We must have new
civil rights laws by the Con
gress and the proposal to pass
a poll tax amendment is not
enough.’’
The NAACP secretary lashed
at the failure of the Depart
ment of Justice to act in the
I murder of the two men who
.jvsre.killed for roistering and
voting, and in the attempted
murder, November 25, of Gus
Courts, Belzoni, Miss., grocer,
for civil rlghtSf activity. In com^
menting on the killing of Em
mett Till, Wilkins said:
“The murdei: of this boy was
in itself horrible enough to
warrant not only the world
wide condemnation it received,
but the most exacting execu
tion of justice. This it did not
receive. But the real signifi
cance of the Till murder lies
in the type of civilization it re
vealed right here in the United
States, a civilization in which
Negro Americans are denied
both their personal and citizen
ship rights, including the right
to vote. ■
‘The Congress cannot .dodge
the awful picture revealed by
the Till boy’s murder. It must
pass some civil rights legisla
tion with teeth and it cannot
fool the voters with a poll tax
jimendment.”
