DROPPING OF 4 NAACPERS
AN INSULT TO REASON
BY J. B. BARREN
ROCKY MOUNT—The re
cent- action of the nominating
committee of the National As
aociation for the Advance
ment of Colored People in
dropping, or refusing to re
nominate, four <4' long-time
members of the national board
for the new three-year term,
beginning January 1, 1966,
constitutes a gToss miscarri
age of justice to the entire
Civil Rights program, and an
Insult to the intelligence of
loyal NAACP members who
have labored hard— against
heavy odds—for the gains in
better race relations and op
portunities for minority-group
citizens for fifty-seven years. l
Bishop Stephen Gill Spot?: -
wood, the AME Zion prelate,
who has given years of valu
able service: Arthur B, Spin
gam, with 35 years of service
as president 1 having succeed
ed his late father, Joel E
Spingam, of the founders- f
NAACP; Walter P. Reuther,
world-known president of U
nited Automobile Workers,
AFL-CIO, who has been on
the board of NAACF since
1949; and former NY. judge
Hubert T. Dtiany, who has
served since 1934.
We have no complaints a
bout the qualifications of the
four new members nominated
in the place of these proven
veteran NAACPers, who
should not have been dropped
at this crucial period in the
life of NAACP when our. or
ganiaztlon is an outstanding
force in trying to help main
tain an 'even keel- on the
rough sea of human relations,
called Civil Rights.
Why would any Negro want
to drop 88-year-old Arthui
Spingam from the roll, after
he has given more than fifty
years to helping make it pos
sible for us to protest, demon
strate, and integrate in a sub
stantial way—in most of A
merica? Where would we have
been without. Walter Renth

and other groups to aid us°
Dropping him is suicidal.

of invaluable aid. in bringing
