Federal Court Urged To Act on Alabama Injunction
As NAACP Moves to Re-open activities in That Area
NEW ORLEANS. La , — In its
latect move to sccurc the return;
of the NAACP to action in the
State of Alabama, Robort L. Car
ter argued here, Jan. 17. in the
United States Fifth Circuit Court
of Appeals that the NAACP “will
lievw be permitted to function in
Alabama" unless the Federal
Courts take jurisdiction over a
19M temporary injuction action
sow forzen by the state in its
courts.

The NAACP was banned from
Alabama in 1956, without noticc
or opportunity to be heard. Al
abama enjoined all A-ssotialion
aptlvities, charging it had failed
to register as a “foreign corpora
tion."
The organization was fined
$100,000 for refusing to hand over
membership lists. This move
would have exposed Negro citi
zens to the naked violence often
documented In Alabama current
events.
The U. S. Supreme Court void-
td the Alabama contempt ruling
in 1958 threw out the $100,000
fine; and upheld the Associa
tion's right not to reveal it mem
bership lists.
However, the Supreme Court
did not say whether the injunc
tion against the NAACP was va
lid.
The Alabama nigh court held
the U. S. Supreme Court mandate
for six months before it elected
to reaffirm its old contempt ci
tation.
Alabama said this time that the
NAApP was in contempt for rea
sons other than refusing to hand

over membership lists. The NAA
CP returned the case to the U. S.
Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court again struck
down Alabama in June of 1959.
The case again rested in the
hands of the Alabama high court,
which again elected to do nothing.
The NAACP filed several ir.o
tions, requesting the Alabama Su
preme Court to send the mandate
to the Circuit Co irt of Montgom
ery Count so the validity of the
injunction atainst NAACP activi
ties could be tested.
Again the Alabama Supreme
Court did nothing and advised the
NAACP to file “no further mo
tions on the matter.”
A temporary injunction has
b»an oulsfandinig against the
NAACP for four years and the
Associatian has been unable
to test Its validity. '
After waiting until June, 1960,
the NAACP filed a complaint in
federal court "seeking to enjoin
state officials from refusing to
permit thp Association to register
as a foreign corporation.”
This phase of the case was argu
ed last July and the district court
admitted that it had jurisdiction,
but concluded that it was not pro
per to act since the matter was in
the state court.
The NAACP then appearled to
the U. S. Court of Appeals of the
Fifth Circuit.

Florida Tightens
Legal Reins on
Integrationists
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Lead
ers of the Florida Legislature
are sharpening the ax for sit-
demonstrators and others work
ing for integration and civil
rights in this state.
When the Legislature meets
in April, one item on the agenda
will be a threat to jail the Rev.
A. Leon Lowry uf Tampa, state
president of the NAACP and a
Baptist leader.
Lowry is charged wjth contempt
for refusing to cooperate with a
legislative committee which sought
to check NAACP membership lists.
The committee said it was look
ing for ‘-subversives."
Recently the Florida Supreme
Court uphold a 6-month jail
sentence given the Rev. Theo
dore Gibson, head of the Miami
NAACP branch, for his defiance
of the sama commi tee. Father
Gibson, who is rector of Christ
Episcopal Church, is appealing
to the U.S. Supreme Court..
The Florida high court over
turned a similar sentence given
the • Rev, Edward T. Graham of
Mtami, who even refused- to say
if he was a member of the
NAACP. Mr. Graham is former
president of the Miami NAACP
The three ministers are among
47 persons in the United States
who have defied such legislative
committees on the ground that
the purpose of these committees
is: to 4>lock integration and other
social progress. These 47 take
their stand under the First
Amendment to the U.S. Constitu
tion, guaranteeing freedom of
soeech, press, religion, associa
tion and protest.
Lowry summed It up when he
said: “It is quite apparent that
the committee’s action is an at
tempt to intimidate and label an
organization and to weaken it. We
have been pressing for our
rights in almost every area and
that is why they are after us.”
