The program will begin of

Invitations to participate have
been extended to all lawyers

Mr. Jones said that the NA-
AtlP had picked Ohio to launch
the campaign because the state

* against which the Association
will fight. These include the
maladministration of justice,
discrimination in employment,
segregated education, and un
fair housing practices.
The state also has residents
a large number of people who
have been involved in past ef
forts to improve the civil rights
picture, lie said. The combina

Ohio an ideal place to begin.
The head of the NA AC P’s
legal staff said that, in the
months ahead, similar pro
grams will be launched in ten
other states ranging from Maine
to Texas.
