lures OFFICE
QUlzzED ON LAW
Secretary OF State Says
! New Law Too General
In Requirements

RAIL EIGH, June II tPNA
number of persons-many of them
from the Winston-Salem area
are concerned at the failure thus
far of the communist party to
register under a new state law re-
| curing registration of all organi-
cations to influence public opinion,
| Secretary Of State Thad Eure said
today.
Eure said that he had received
numerous inquiries as to whether
the communist party has regis
tered under the law and "in-
quries as to why it has not regis
tered"
He said that '"the sum of my in
formation is that the registration
Of this organization inspired pass
age of this bill, and if the bill did
this with no uncertainty, I would
call upon them especially to regis
ter"
However, Eure complained, the
law is so general that 81 do
not presume to advise any organl-
cation whether it is required or
not required to register"
The secretary Of state added
that so far as he could ascertain
all that he is required to do is to
maintain book in which the
propaganda organizations may
register.
He said that ne has complied
with this and obtained a registra-
ton book. So far, he said, only
three organizations have register
ed. the realistic party, the world
~federalists, and the N. c. Commit
tee for inter-racial cooperation.
The law which was introduced
in the 1947 general assembly by
Senator Gordon Gray Of Winston
Salem, would prohibit organiza-
tons which are principally" en-
gagged in influencing public opinion
from operating in the state with
out first registering with the sec
rotary of state.
Those registering are required to
give name and address of the or
%ganization, names and addresses
of officers and agents working in
North Carolina and to furnish a
financial statement of income, in
GLIDING an itemized statement OF
contributions and their source.
