(UPI Telephoto) VOTE INTEREST IS CITED IN NAACP REPORT NEW YORK —"ln just five weeks, 7,000 Negroes registered to vote, and 500 parents filed transfer forms, due to our ef forts in Louisiana." Miss Althea T. L. Simmons, director of the NAACP Summer Project in Louisiana, cites these results as triumphs in a state where "pervasive fear seems to close down on Negroes even though they now represent al most one-half of the state's population. "Not only that, but, for the first time since Reconstruction, nine Negroes ran for public offices ranging from Mayor to police juror. Two of them will be in the run-off election, September 24." Miss Simmons emphasises the carry-over values of the ef forts of the task force work ers who lived and worked in Louisiana during the project. "Not only have we been able to instill hope among Negroes, but we were able to train a cadre of indigenous leaders who will continue to inform Negroes of their rights as citi zens, and to encourage them to use all available economic and political resources to gain these rights. "I attribute a great deal of our success to the work of our Congressional District coordi nators: Joseph R. Davis, a Mis sissippi college teacher; Rich ard Dockery, NAACP Region VI director: Miss Joan Frank lin, NAACP assistant counael; Miss Mary Jamieson, NAACP Louisiana field director; Chas. E. Mays, West Coast field di rector; Phillip Savage, NAACP Tri-State (N. J., Pa., Del.) field director, and Julius E. Wil liams, NAACP Region IV di rector." The NAACP placed its major summer emphases on voter registration, and the transfer of students into integrated schools.
