South's Assault on
NEW YORK?The Jewish Labor
' Comrrtittee, which represents a
half-million workers in the AFL^
,CIO, has called upon thefederal
"" government ToTialt the South's as-,
'"faults on the NAACP and NAACP
J mamlium. The UUUl IVJlly's admin,s
istratjve committee adopted a ref
solution 'containing the plea for
. remedial action on Anril 12 in this
dlcity' * - ? - I
j At least ten southern states J
;have sought to cripple or wreck
the NAACP by means of injunct_
ians. other-court- action7 ~ la ws a-^
gainst the NAACP, an^ laws against
members of the NAACP.
' Organized labor, having been a '
victim of similar punitive legislat- !
lion, has a special interest in such
attacks," the JLC resolution declares.
| The statement calls upon Congress
to investigate the situation,
iupon the U. S. Justice Department
3 to "take appropriate action in im'?
?of the . First and
, Fourteenth .Amendments to?t h e~
t Constitution," and upon President
; Eisenhower to "give moral Ieaderr
snip in this matter - which tfan.
scends political and ideological
! views and region'al and sectional
i interests."
p Analysing tho ' imm'1 ! '- n-;-1'
e pects of the anti-NAACP actions in
- the South, the .resolution says:
"Where states pass laws prohibit- ,
. ing the advocacy of integration,
t they are violating the Consti.tut-"j
f ional injunction against 'abridging |
f the freedom of speech.' Where
jo.avco law 3 |?l CV diking L fl e
e ,NAACP from holding meetings,,
they are 'abridging __ the right of I
the people peaceably to assemble."
J, "These acts cannot be counten-"
~ anced in a free nation," the document
asserts. "State officials must
'not be permitted to manipulate
laws so as to make inoperative any
organization or group with \yhich
they disagree. Certainly the Uni
ted States crnrnot toTerate the at- (
tempt by states not..only to evade
Ke law of the land but to punish a
^ group of citizens for seeking t q__
- upliuld that law. The agencies o f

j law enforcement have a responsibility
to act in this matter.
