The NAACP has fUed with the Supreme Court its brief in a case challenging the right of the State of Alabama to fine the organiaation $100,000 and hold it in contempt of court because the Association refuted to turn over a list of Alabame members.

The Association has halted its operations in Alabama since an injunction was issued against it in ttiat state in June of last year. The reason given for issuance of the injunction Was failure to register with the state. When the NAACP offered to register, the Montgomery circuit court judge ruled it could not. A list of Alabama NAACP members demanded by the Alabama attorney general in connection with the state’s suit to ban the NAACP for failure to register with the state. NAACP attorneys refused to file such a list because of prO' bable threats and violence to members. “While many persons may find petitioner’s aims objection able and deplore the erosion of the parochial concept of the ultimate superiority of the white race, the aims and pur poses which petitioner is seek ing to accomplish constitute the great promise and the basic as piration of American society,” the NAACP brief states. “Cer tainly mere dislike of petition er’s purpose cannot justify use of state machinery to restrict its lawful activities. Moreover, whatever the bases for the pro ceedings to restrict petitioner's operations, it is entitled to fair and Impartial hearing in ac cord with the requirements of due process.... / "...Hie decree restraining all of petitioner’s activities, the or der to disclose the names and addresses of petitioner’s mem bers and the lack of fundamen tal fairness throughout the pro ceedings violated petitioner’s right and the rights of its mem^ bers to due process of law as secured by the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.” In another section the brief states: “By enjoining its con tinued activity, Alabama has deprived petitioner of freedom of speech and freedom of asso ciation and of property in the continued receipt of the dues and contributions of its mem bers.” Representing the NAACP in the case are Robert L. Carter, general counsel, Thurgood Mar shall, special counsel, both of New York, and Arthur D. Shores of Birmingham. Bennett Head In Final Talk GREENSBORO The final address in a series of three to the Bennett College student body was delivered by President WiUa B. Player in Pfeiffer Chapel, Monday morn ing. Speaking on “Responsibility,' Dr. Player explained to the stu dents that their responsibilities at the college lay in three broad areas, namely, responsibility In carrying out routines, responsi bility to recognize their assets and limitations and responsi bility to make creative contri bution to the life of the campus. "We are living ..in a time of dangerotis irresponsibility,” Dr. Player declared. "The tie that binds us to our college is re sponsibility and, as you become deeply involved in an enter prise, you want to see It through.” At two previous chapel meet ings, Dr. Player spoke on “The Challenges which Face Us’’ and “Values.” In each of the ad dresses, she urged the students Cole Donates $1,000ToNAACP Fund Project NEW YORK A telegram from Nat "King” Cole, popular entertainer, or dering one thousand dollar’s worth of tickets for the NAACP Freedom Fund dinner to be held here on Nov. 22 was received as Association headquarters this week, Jackie Robinson, chair man of the NAACP's 1987 Free dom Fund campaign and of the dinner committee, announced here Friday.

SATURDAY, OCT. 5, 19S7 THB CABOUNA TIMES PAGE Survey Shows Dozen States Move Toward Passage Of Anti-Jim Crow Laws Despite Dixie Reaction to develop maturity and a broad outlook upon life and its prob lems. NEW YORK Despite the resistance demon- strated in Arkansas and in other Southern areas to granting full equality to all citizens, a dozen states around the nation have made major civil rights advan ces in the past several months, it was revealed in a new survey just published by the American Jewish Congress. The study, en titled “Summary of 1957 State Anti-Oiscrimination Laws,” dis closes that during their recent ly-concluded legislative 'terms, a number of state legislatures— from Vermont to Washington— enacted significant new laws to outlaw discrimination in such fields as employment, educa tion, housing and public ac commodation. The survey which was com piled by the AJCongress’ Com mission on Law and Social Ac tion, shows that two states— Colorado and Wisconsin—amen ded their existing “voluntary” fair employment, education, housing and public accommoda tion.

The survey which was com piled by the AJCongress’ Com mission on Law and Social Ac tion, shows that two states— Colorado and Wisconsin—amen ded their existing "voluntary” fair employment laws by cre ating effective enforcement pro cedures. A new fair employ ment law was adopted by the City of San Francisco. Four states—Missouri, Wash-' ington, California and Illinois enacted laws relating to dis crimination in education. Mis-^ souri repealed its school segre-| gation laws. The new Washing-1 ton law makes it the fourth state to be covered by a broad fair educational practices law. (New Jersey, New York and Massachusetts already have such laws.) Turning to the field of hous ing, the AJCongress survey re veals that five states—Massa chusetts, Minnesota, New Jer sey, Oregon and Washington— and the city of Los Angeles,took legislative steps against dis crimination in housing. With the exception of the Minnesota action, the new laws in the four states prohibit discrimination in publicly-assisted housing, in cluding housing receiving assis tance in the form of FHA or Veteran’s Administration mort gage insurance. Minnesota set up a commission to study dlip crimination in housing during the next two years.
