Mi _ __ REDD PEARL _j WSX BAILEY “WWMAE... oZ IS THAT YOU?” ■ SHOWS: 2nd __. 1:30*3:15 Rir. 1*002,W WEEK Carolina Theatre » in Port Gibson, Miss., stem ming from a 1966 boycott. The boycott was part of a cam paign against voting and em ployment discrimination. An appeaf against the judg ment will be filed, but to do so. the 67-year-old civil rights organization was required to post a bond of 125 percent of the judgment by Sept 30. The NAACP did not have such funds and faced bankruptcy without help from others, NAACP officials said. The plea to the United Pres byterian Church was made through several channels, in cluding a request from Roy Wilkins, NAACP executive di rector, to the Rev. J. Oscar McCloud, general director of the Program Agencv. That ■ 1 - agency 's executive committee forwarded it to the Mission Council whose executive com mittee met Sept. 24-25. Advancing the money from the Emergency Fund for Le gal Aid first was considered, but there is not enough un committed money remaining in that fund for the anticipated year loan period. The action was taken in the light of repeated decisions of the General Assembly to stand with persons and groups who work for racial justice, and as a continued commitment to the use of legal processes. A recent precedent for the use of reserve funds in such cases was the loan of $150,000 to the North Slot>e Boroiuzh in Alas ka to assist residents Qf that area while their right to their own local government was being tested in court.
