Did Not Leave
Levy NAACP
Never Entered,
Group Asserts

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(SNS)-
The NAACP refuted this week the
Associated Negro Press release
which stated that the NAACP had
withdrawn from the case Of Ser
geant Alton Levy.
This is incorrect in two re-
spects," the NAACP wire to all
Negro weeklies read. "The NAACP
has never formally entered the
case and could not therefore have
withdrawn. In fact the NAACP
still has the case of Sgt. Levy
under investigation.
Levy, white soldier, court
martialed and serving four months,
said in letters to friends that he
was being penalized because he
protested the treatment of Negro
soldiers at a camp near Lincoln,
Nebraska.
