By Negro Congress

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. --(CNA)--
Under the slogan OF Full Citizen
ship Rights for ALL" the Southern
Negro Youth Congress this week
launched campaign to enlist At
least 10000 Negro young people In
fifteen southern states In q crusade
for the right to vote. The organi-
zation plans an intensive IL months
campaign.
For several months past, officials
OF the congress have been careful
ly studying the laws pertaining to
voting in every southern state. The
youth volunteers will receive thor
ough instruction on the laws gov
erning registration In their respec-
tive communities. on poll tax laws
and other questions pertaining to
the franchise. This knowledge will
be spread among the disfranchised
section OF the Negro population to
increase their interest In civic at
fairs.
The methods TO be used have
been selected on the basis OF the
past experience OF the Youth con-
gress in citizenship drives. Special
efforts will be made TO reach first
voters before high poll taxes have
accumulated. Citizenship institutes
will be held where people will be
instructed in the procedure OF reg
istering and qualifying as voters.
THE Full Citizenship for All

gress. lis an important develop
ment among southern Negro youth.
II indicates that Negro young peo-
pie are working to achieve the
most fundamental and essential
right in a democracy--the right TO
vote. We have come to recognize
the ballot as the major instrument
for attaining adequate housing.

rural youth in the South. and for
the general raising OF the cultural
level OF our youth"
