The 7,103 delegates and their leaders grappled with edu cational and social problems re lated to the ghetto, poverty, educational deprivation, grow ing racial separation, crime and riots, drug abuse, campus dis turbances, and other evidences of current social unrest of ma lady. An unscheduled lncident a painful confrontation with the racial issue-became the convention's most discussed and widely publicized event. It quickly grew into an inter national incident and gave NEA occasion to put the con vention theme, "Commitment to Action," to an immediate practical test. Refusal of service to the First Secretary of the En*assy of the Kingdom of Lesotho by a small Dallas tavern, and sub sequent refusal to serve a Ne gro NEA staff member and some Negro convention dele gates, sent waves of intense re sentment through the conven tion. NEA filed a strong pro test with the U. S. Department of State concerning the em barrassment to its guest and convention observer bom South Africa, Mooki Vitus Molapo, and took other deci sive actions.

On a telegram to John M. Bailey, committee chairman, dispatched July 3, NAACP Ex ecutive Director Roy Wilkins cited refusal of Mississippi De mocrats to provide more than token Negro representation in its delegation and alluded to the seven half-votes allotted to Negro Democrats among New York STate's 65 at - large dele ptes. "Action by the Democratic party organization in Mississ ippi," Wilkins told Chairman Bailey, "is a clear rejection of the national party mandate of 1964 for fair and representa tive inclusion of Negroes in de legations to the national con vention. Democratic regulars in Mississippi seem to believe they can get away with tokenism in the makeup of their 1967 de legation. "Four years ago, the Demo cratic party made a solemn pledge, not solely to its parti san adherents but to the entire citizenry, that no racial dis crimination would be counten anced. The NAACP expects no thing less than firm compliance i with this pledge. "We may note in passing that the Democratic organiza tion in New York State will hardly be in a position to ap plaud application of the 1964 pledge to Mississippi, since the New York delegation is similar ly meager in its minority group component." In Mississippi, Charles Evers, one of the four Negroes de signated as members of the state delegation, declined the designation when the state con vention refused to enlarge Ne- See DEMOS page 7A PRINCIPALS of the Western N.

Sammy Davis, Jr. Said Marked • For Assassins LONDON Sammy Davis, Jr., may have been marked for assassination by racist big ots because of his continued involvement in the struggle for civil rights. Scotland Yard detectives, who have been guarding the famous entertainer on an a round-the-clock basis, are in vestigating tfie possibility that a white supremist group in Britain decided to kill the en tertainer as a "warning" to other stars. Davis was named only two weeks ago as the 1968 winner of the NAACP's coveted Springarn Medal, an award given annually to the individual who has done most to advance the cause of racial equality. In the past the award has gone to such civil rights leaders as Dr. Martin Luther King and the late Medgar Evers. Both men were assassinated. In making the presentation to Davis, Wilkins described Da vis as an "entertainer without peer," who continually sacri fices himself in the cause of racial justice." Wilkins told of the large sums of money which Davis has donated to varioqs civil rights groups and of the num ber of personal fund-raising ap pearances the performer has made on behalf of the NAACP. Davis, who was in London performing as star of the road show version of "Golden Boy," was unable to be in Atlantic City to receive the award.
