WASHINGTON — In a unani

Court upset an injunction issued
by the State of Alabama which
has successfully prevented the
N'AACP from conducting its acti-
vitlps In that state for the past
eight years.
In its fourth decision concern
ing the .state ban the Court held
on June 1 that Alabama had no
ccnstitutional basis for excluding
the Association. The Court further
st.atrd that is was prepared to take
additional action if the Alabama
courts did not comply promptly
with its rulinR. ., I
NAACP Executive Secretary Roy
Wilkins hailed the decision, stat
in" that “all of us at (NAACP)
headquarters are pleased that at
Ion" last the unfair barring of our
Association from Alabama in 1956
has been reversed.
"At the time, Alabama declared
its action was to preserve racial
peace in the state. Since that
time, more turbulence has result
ed than during the period 'Afhen
th" NAACP was operating,” he
said.
In upholding the legality of
NAACP activities, the Supreme
Co’irt ohose to remand the case
to the Alabama Supreme Court
“for further proceedings not in-
consi.stent with this opinion..”
Such proceedings. Justice John
Marshall Harlan, who wrote the
opinion, said should include a
“prompt" order wiping out the in
junction against the Association
and allowing it to qualify for
business in Alabama.
Ju.st ice Harlan concluded,
“sliould we unhappily be mistaken
in our belief that the Supreme
Court of Alabama will promptly
implement this disposition, leave
is given to the Association to ap
ply to this Court for further ap
propriate relief.” ,
