NAACP Action Frees GI Given
 50-Year Sentence

New York, September 13 - Sen tenced by prejudiced court martial to fifty years at hard la bor, Noel W. Greenidge is a free man today, as a direct result of the intervention of the NAACP Legal Staff. His period of confne- ment was entirely remitted and he was given an opportunity to re- enlist in the service.
 His letter to Franklin H. Will Hams, NAACP attorney, is typical of the many received by this of fee. Says Greenidge:
 "Your efforts instilled in me the courage to see it thoroughly and to retain the intense faith in this our country and the ideals for which it stands.
 Having laid aside the uniform which I wore proudly = and in which was still the object of an insidious prejudice - find the world left changed, and yet un- changed. The Negro and other mi norities apparently still face the almost insuperable obstacle of na- tional acceptance = they won for their country"

NAACP Political Action Program

New York, September 12-The tradition-shattering action taken at the 37th Annual Conference of NAACP branches, paving the way for political action, became a firm ly established element in the As sociation's program when the NAACP Board of Directors ac- cepted the recommendation of a special six-man committee which had been appointed to study the plan.
 Particular emphasis was given that section of the special com mittee's report which provided safeguards for maintaining the rion-partisan policies of the Asso- citation. Members of the commit tee, three of whom were elected by delegates representing more than 1000 branches with a total mem bership of 535, 1000, and three by the NAACP Board of Directors, included Magistrate Joseph H. Rainey, Philadelphia; Attorney Da- vid M. Grant, St. Louis, Mo-; Mrs. Lillie M. Jackson, Baltimore, Md. Dr. Charming H. Tobias; MT. Palmer Wever and Arthur Sping- arn, all of New York City. Also present at the meeting in New York's Wendell Willkie Memorial Building was the Associations Ex- ecutive Secretary, Walter White.
 It was clearly pointed out at the New York meeting that the Association does not endorse eith- CT party for election purposes. However, the politically infuen- tial membership was urged to ex- anime issues and candidates. There was an implied realization in the committees report that the mem bership in many instances would be more familiar with local situa- tions. Local awareness would be further implemented, however, by a clarifcation of issues affecting Negroes and other minorities by experts in the National Office.
 In the matter of ratings of can didates the National Office shall limit itself to giving full informa- tion on the voting records of Sena- tors and Congressmen with partic- ular emphasis on issues affecting Negroes. Since the National Office will not rate candidates on a state level, these candidates shall be
 judged on their relative positions where these issues are concerned. NAACP members will be kept in constant awareness of these is- sues primarily through the Asso-

HARTFORD CITI- ZEN'S COMMITTEE SUP
 PORTS WAGNER ELLEN
 DER-TAFT HOUSING BILL

The neediest veterans have had the worst deal of all through the failure of Congress to pass the Wagner-Ellender-Taft public hous- ing bill. Since private builders are constructing only high-cost high-rent dwellings which are be- yond the reach of the vast majo- rity of persons, the hope of people with low incomes has been govern ment projects.
 Veterans who belong to minority groups face the greatest housing problem, worse even than that of the average veteran, because they are excluded from many neighbor- hoods regardless of their ability to pay the cost. Negro veterans, for example, find it practically inn possible to rent privately built homes except in the slums. Their best chance for decent homes lies in the public housing.
 During the last Congress lob bies representing interests which benefit for a shortage of housing first attempted to kill by amend ment the veterans housing pro- gram and then succeeded in tying up the Wagner-Ellender- bill in committee. This bill, if passed, would have provided for the con- struction of low-rent home to re- place city slums. Since veterans would have priority in tis govern ment housing, this would have been a fruitful source of homes for veterans = those who can least afford privately built homes.
 Valuable time has been lost, but the Wagner-E1lender-Taft bill must be passed promptly in the next Congress or veterans will have to wait longer for this lous- ing. The Greater Hartford Citi- zens Housing Committee will ask support for this bill from candi- dates of both parties. Even if the money involved were spent on slum clearance with no expecta- zens. As it is, the dwelling units tion of return it would still con- stitute sound investment in an environment to produce good citi- are to be rented at low rates which will eventually repay the government for the original ex- pense.

 The following resolutions were voted as recommendation to the Board of Directors by the Com mittee:
 CD That the Association go on record as not endorsing any poli- tical party or any individual be- cause of party connections or affi- iation. !
 (2) That the policy of the NAACP shall be that branches are urged to examined proposals purely non-partisan in character as listed below, affecting local or state pub lie issues and which require cleo torate approval; to take a position for or against such proposals within the Constitutional limits of the Association, unless good cause be presented why a position not be taken; and give support to a posi- tion taken thereon.
 To include such issues as: (a) Proposals arising locally or statewide by and through initia- tive and referendum.
 (b) Bond issues.
 (c) Charter and Constitutional Amendments.
 Where proposal is statewide, state conferences of branches, where they exist, are urged to de- termine and announce a position to be binding on all Branches. 9th erwise, some workable intro-state method should be devised for uni fled coordinated action after con- sultation with the National Office.
 (3) That the National Board call a meeting of all representative Ne gro organizations to consider the question of focusing attention on issues that will come up for deci- sion in the election of candidates in the fall and the importance of Negroes participating actively by registering and voting. Further recommended that advertisements and other material be carried in the press.
 (4) That the Board call upon every branch to conduct a regis tration and voting drive.

Local NAACP Holds First
 Fall Meeting

The Hartford Branch of the NAACP held it's first meeting o1 the season, Wednesday, September Il at the Women's League, Com munity House on Avon Street The meeting was very well atten- ded by a mixed group who seemed profoundly interested in the sue cess of the organization.
 The new issue on discrimination brought before the meeting was the case of George Hope arrested in New Britain on a motor vehi- cle violation and later released for lack of evidence. While in the GUS tody of the New Britain police, MT. Hope was photographed and fin gerprinted and now asks NAACP help in retrieving prints since he has no previous police record. A special committee was appointed to investigate his case.
 The second appeal came from Dr. James E. Gladstone, Hartford lOptometrist, who urged the audi ence to participate in civic affairs by using their voting rights, thus proving that they are vital to their community and to their city.
 "The method" stated Dr. Glad stone "of controlling filibustering is Cloture and the NAACP should draw up a questionaire for the candidates that would include Cloture, an FEPC Bill anti-Lynch and anti-Poll Tax measures, find out the stand of the candidates on these matters, then vote for the man who guarantees his entire support on the stated issues"
 "The big job of the NAACP," he concluded" is to teach their people how best to use the ballot"
 A check for $25.O0 was given as a preliminary contribution to the Sterling Committee for the sup port of Connecticut FEPC Bill. The Chairman of this committee is Henry Silberman of Boston, Mass, through whose efforts a Massachu- setts FEPC Bill was passed.
 The total treasury report for the year was $2,2O4.19 The total disbursement was $168O.47 and the balance in the treasury is $523.7O.

American Legion Looks Forward

New York, September 12-Trail- blazing action was taken at the meeting to the State Convention of the American Legion in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on August 19, when it adopted three progressive resolutions on current issues. AL though Michigans a state not gen erally considered liberal, and the American Legion is hardly noted for its forward-looking point of view on current issues, these reso- lutions were adopted unanimous ly by Michigan's Legion members and should give other chapters a fine precedent to follow.
 One of the resolutions calls up- on Attorney General Tom Clark and President Truman to do ev- erything in their power to "stop the present wave of crime..against the Negro people in the South.... and guarantee all people of our country their democratic rights of protection"
 A second resolution demands that 'tcloture be instituted in the Senate, so that the poll tax bill may be brougl1t....to....the.. vote, l" since 13 million citizens in the United States are not given the democratic privilege of franchise, and ia minority group of our statesmen are prohibiting these citizens from their democratic rights"
 The Convention further went on record in support of the enactment of state and national Fair Employ ment Practice Committee laws in as much as the "3O million people in the minority groups in this country were inducted into the war effort in order to preserve the democratic rights of our nation land the Federal FEPC" by it's work has proved that it has a per- manent place and a national ser vice to perform in the government tai system of the United States" |"

BULLETIN be devoted to regis tration and voting.
 (6) That the Board consider the use of staff assistants and prepa- ration of material that would be of assistance to the local branches in the conducting of registration and turning g-out-the-vote drives.
 An indication of the far-reaching implications in the Associations newly adopted program may be found in the recently published analysis of the vote by which Rep resentative Roger c. Slaughter was beaten solely by Negro voters on the issue of his opposition to FEPC. The analysis further fore casts that the same resentment will be shown by Negroes toward other members of Congress, both Republicans and Democrats, whose records are "bad" on legislation involving the security and rights of minority groups. This forecast is further implemented by the fact that in addition to those voting areas where NAACP branches and members wield political influence, many thousands of Negroes are where they have only recently been now going to the polls in areas given the right to vote in the pri- maries by the NAACP victory in the U. s. Supreme Court in the historic Texas primaries case. A concerted drive is being planned as part of the NAACP Political Action Program to increase the registrations in these areas with the issues involved clearly defined.

cutive Manager, if the student is not actually in school, nothing un- der the schools regulations and procedure authorized them to award money for the payment of tuition at another school.
 At that point, Anderson wrote to the NAACP, requesting that it intervene in his behalf. On Aug ust 27, Assistant Special Counsel, Robert L. Carter wrote to the Art Institutes Director, reviewing the sequence of events which had talk en place between Anderson his scholarship which you had already awarded contingent upon his ac- ceptance. "Mr. Carter requested that the NAACP be informed of the schools plans with reference to James Anderson so that he could be advised as to how to pro- ceed.
 Anderson forthwith recevied a letter from the school, informing him that the authorities had agreed to make a special dispensa- tion in his case and awarding him the money equivalent of the half year scholarship on the condition that it be used to enter some other school of art. A check for $112.50 was enclosed.
 James Anderson wrote the MA ACP a warm letter of thanks for it's assistance in obtaining for him the prize which he had won through his own merit. He plans to use this money to enter another art school where consideration of race and color will not prevent his matriculation.
