IWS CABOUNA fllflM Campaign To Prevent btradHion Of Rev. DeLaine Backed By NAACP NEW YORK The campaign to prevent ex tradition of the Rev. J. A.

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.” Two Teachers Attend Meet In Atlantic City Mrs. Lucy Fuller James and Mrs. Marie C.
