Leadership Conference would like to commend the United States Senate for voting Tuesday, December 18, 1973, 54 to 37 to reinstate the U.S. embargo on imports of chrome ore from the apartheid Government of Rhodesia. We want to express our feelings of sincere thanks to the supporters of this Bill who fought very hard for its passage; Especially the Honorable Sen. Hubret H. Humphrey of Minnesota. We hope that the house of Representative will follow the moral widom of the Senate and pass this Bill when it reconvenes next year. The passage by this Bill by the Congress will mean that this country will once again be justly and rightfully in support of the eco nomic sanctions against Racist Rhodesia that were adopted by the United Nations, in 1968. As we all know, the embargo was first adopted and voted after Rhodesia declared independence from Great Brit Ian which places six million of our African brothers and sisters under the control of 240,000 Whites. Story Appeared In New York Daily News NEW YORK A totally erroneous news story in a' local newspaper which stated that NAACP Executive Director Roy Wilkins had been ousted at the quarterly meeting of the National Board of Directors sparked a crescendo of , anxious telephone inquiries and statements of support for the veteran civil rights leader. The story which appeared in the New York Daily News on Tuesday, January 15, reported that the NAACP Board of Directors had "forced out Roy Wilkins as executive director because of alarm over a significant decrease in membership and Federal grants to the NAACP." But the story was totally false. In a news conference called on the day that the Daily News article appeared and was given nationwide distribution, Mr. Wilkins issued the following statement: "National membership decreased by 7,000 in 1973, the 1972 total was 412,000 and the 1973 total 405,000. This is less than 2, even less than 1.6. Whether this is significant or $$t we are not able to say. "As for Federal grants, the NAACP housing department received one in 1970 for $170,000 to do a survey of Negro contractors. (See STORY Page 2A) Church Women United in Durham AI. C.
