Current Rallies Support lor '100,000 More In 74' Campaign Items MiiJ NEW YORK In a message to all units of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Director of Branches CJoster B. Current sought to rally supporters of the Civil rights organization to the f'100,000 more in '74' membership campaign by informing them of the recent successful fight in San Francisco to protect the basic human rights of black Americans. In that city, the NAACP recently won a court injunction barring the almost indiscriminate stop and search procedures that the San Francisco police were using against black men fitting rough descriptions of the so-called "Zebra Killers." They were allegedly responsible for the senseless murders of 12 white persons. The NAACP objected to the search procedure because it violated Fou rteerit h Amendment due process rights of the black community. The NAACP's victory in this case, Mr. Current informed the branches, was the best example to date tjjat that the "Association is still in the forefront of the fight for civil rights on many battlefronts."
