Anti-CR Law
ff Louisiana
WASHINGTON, D. C.—The United
States Suprfeme Court has ; voided
the key elements of the Louisiana
Subversive Activities iftnd Coitimu
nist Control Law. This statute—
was frought with menace
for pro-integration organizations,
Was first invoked against the
Southern Conference Educational
Filhd in October, 1963.
Louisiana and city police ra : ded
the SCEF headquarters and arrest
ed two Fund officials, Dr. James
A. Dombrowski, Executive Direc
tor and Benjamin E. Smith, Treas
urer. Smith's law partner, Bruce
Waltzcr was also arrested.
Police confiscated great quanti
ties of Fund property and personal
possessions of the officers.
After a 3-jitdgc federal district
court dismissed the SCEF appeal
for relief from this action, a com
plaint was filed in the U. S. Su
preme Court.
A 5-2 ruling handed down by
Justice Brennan, recently de
clared "void on face" sections ol
the Louisiana law which defined
a subversive organization, and
which made it an offense not to
register as a member of a "com
munist front organization."
"This overly broad statute
creates a 'daftger zone' within
which protected expression may
be Inhibited," the majority deci
sion declared.
So long as the statute remains
available to the state, the threat
of prosecution of protected expres
sion is a real and substantial one.
feveh the prospect of ultimatr
failure of such prosecution by no
jiieahs dispels its chilling effect;
on protected expression."
"li>e high Court sent the case
bibk to district court with direc
tions for "prompt framing of a
dfethse restraining prosecution of
the pending indictments aiainst
tHb Individual appellants, ordering
ininifediptc return of all papers and
documents seized and prohibiting
ftlHher acts enforcing the section
of thfe Subversive Activities ahd
Cbtnmunist Control Acts here

Future of Civil
Rights Theme of
Nifional Leader
CHAPEL HILL One of the
leading nationtl spokesmen lor an
activist civil rights movement and
one of the m&st controversial civil
rights leaders, will speak at the
University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill in Memorial Hall on
May 3 at 8.00 p.m. The public Is
ir.viUd.
James Farmer, the National Di
rector of the militant civil rights
organization, the Congress of Ra
cial Equality, will speak to the
topic, "The Future of the Civil
Rights Revolution."
The public address of Farmer's
will mark his second appearance
in this community. In January,
1964 he focused national attention
on Chapel Hill by issuing his "D
Day" ultimatum wliich demanded
that Chapel Till desegregated its
facilities and become -an "open
city" by February 1 or suffer the
consequences. Ultimately this
challenge resulted in over 1,000
arrests for civil disobedience on
the highways, streets, and busi
nesses of Chapel Hill.
Born in Texas in 1920, .Farmer
is a graduate of Wiley College aw!
Howard University's school of
Divinity. Upon graduation from
Howard he declined ordination in
the M"thodist ministry, because he
isaid, "I didn't see hc.v I coulc'
'honestly preach the ' Gospel' of
Christ in a church that practiced
discrimination . . . But I never
abandoned His teachings. It is still
very much part of my thinking."
Farmer was one of the founder:
of CORE at the University of
Chifcigo in 1942. Since that time
his activities were largely in the
civil rights area working with
CORF and several labor unions,
the Fellowship of Reconciliation
and the Nat'onal f"r
the Advancement of Colored Feu
pie.
As an activist leader Farmer
was instrumental in winning the
support of the younger genera
tion through his participation in
civil rights activities. He was ar
rested a number of times for
demonstrating and civil disobedi
ence.The most recent was at the
New York World's Fair in April.
10(54.
His appearance and scheduled
address at the University is spon
■sored by the UNC chaoter of the
NAAcP-those President is Charles
Miner. There will be a public re
ception at Graham Memorial after
the address.

Xc.rrn citizens of Durham who vote in the |'rinr>ry to
be held here. Saturday. May I. will haVc dccidclv more at
stake than the mere matter of retaining a representative
of their race on the City Council. The election of a \'erro
to the office is not half as im|>ortant as the election of
the best qualified one that is available, ill so far as train
ing and experience are concerned. \\ e-think", therefore,
that this is no time to alio»v ourselves Ao be influenced
by thi' extravagant and reckless charges which are being
circulated against the present Negro member City
Council. To allow such unfounded propaganda to influence
the actio no fXegro voters on the matter of a choice on
May J for the lone Negro represntative of the Third
Ward, is to risk having no representative on the Council
at all or one who is'inexperienced and minus the influence
amoiig the 1 other members of the City Council as well as
among those ot his own race in Durham. . *—-
