Kaplan is an American who has done much to advance NA ACP during his 13 years as chairman of the SSOO NAACP Life Membership campaigns which have grossed members r, ambering into the thousands, including an array of junior life memberships of SIOO each for children up to 12 years of age. All can be purchased upon the payment of the full amount, or in annual installments of as little as SSO each. Hundreds of churches, lodges, fraterni ties, sororities, social, busi ness and educational clubs sub scribe to arid pay these mem berships which “...testify for ever to the individual’s (or group’s) faith in the Cause and Future of the Negro in the United States and in the Found ation Principles of the Ameri can Republic.” Kaplan has so licited and/or paid for life memberships for many mem bers of his family.

Certain ly, Memorial auditorium should be full to hear him. Alexander urges all NAACP branches to send a “Mother - of-the Year” with all the funds possible to compete for the two Statewide honors and to be crowned by Mr. Kaplan. Like wise, all branches have been alerted to bring along any re cent memberships which they wish to report to Miss Lucille Black and Mr. Kaplan at this meeting to be credited toward Tarheelia’s $50,000 - 50,000 membership drive for freedom.

George Wallace on the race issue, said that before he flew to Washington for help he tried unsuccess fully to seek aid from the Gov ernor's office to probe the Klan. In Washington, Flowers said he first approached the House Un-American Activities Com mittee for assistance, but re ceived none. “I quickly realized, and in fact was told by some HUAC memliers, that I shouldn't ex pect any assistance from HU AC’s Klan investigation,’ said Flowers, adding: “If the investigation had been conducted by the House Judi ciary Committee, .strong legis lation might have resulted from the hearings. The mandate had only saved HUAC, which has never produced any effective legislation, from rigor mor tis. ’» At the Justice Department, Flowers said he was greeted “warmly” and left with a “con fident guarantee'* of assistance. “Six weeks passed, and I re ceived the Justice Department’s total contribution, some news clippings and background data, three old copies of Fiery Cross (which we buy on the news stand), the Klan constitution and a 1952 Florida grand jury re port on the Klan,” he declared. Flowers said that while he “knew the Justice Department was reluctant, understandably, to give sources,” he asked only for the chance to cross-check his own leads. On the lack of cooperation from Gov. Wallace, the em battled Attorney General of Ala barn wrote in Look: “On April 22, I wrote Gov ernor Wallace, asking him to join my office in a thorough investigation (of the Klan) and give me the money for the job. He has never acknowledged that letter...lt is not surprising, for he has never admitted that the Klan exists.” Gov. Wallace recently de manded the impeachment of Flowers for “collaborating with the Federal Government.” Malcolm X (Continued from Page 1) life) were given Taimadge Hay er, Norman 3X Butler and Thomas 15X Johnson by Su preme Court Justice Charles Marks.
