GOVERNOR'SSCHmE SOUGHT
Despite the fact that Governor Luther H. Hodges
refuses to confirm or deny recant reports thaf he has
asked Tar Heel industries to contribute to a caiitpaign
fund to pass the Pearsall Bills, the appointment of War
ren Williams, former state senator of Sanford, in charge
of contributions is seen as a tacit confirmation.
The CAROLINA TIMES is making every effort to
get a full list of contributors to the GoverMr’s scheme to
circumvent the United States 'Court’s Dansion. We are
interested in the contributors associated with the big
bvsinesB and especially interested in any industry hold

Legal opinion is divided as^ whether the applica

contributors can also be applied to a constitutional
amendment.

Undaunted by the Alabama
Supreme Court’s rejection of an

the $100,000 contempt of court

ter a writ of certiorari askinf
for a review of the lower
i coart’s ruling against the As-
declsion. Meanwhile, he as
serted ,the attorneys arc ex
ploring other legal avenaes to
secure a stay of the execution
of the jndgment.
The decision to withhold the
names of the 14,566 NAACP
members in the State of Alabama
followed a telephone poU. of the
Association’s National Board of
Directors. By a margain of three
to one, the directors who could
be reached indicated to Execu
tive Secretary Roy Wilkins that
he should decline to submit the
names to the Albama court for
the inspection of the state’s at
torney general.
In a statement issued follow
ing imposition of the fine on
July 3t, Mr. Wilkins charge J
that the sum demanded was
“panltive, even confiscatory.
Obviously, this amoant is b'-
yond our ability to pay out of
regular income,” he said. “V.-;
