u. S. SHOULD MAKE
CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE
UNNECESSARY-WHITE

New York, N. Y. April 18th
Disavowing civil disobedien-
ce as an effective technique for
solving the race problem, Wa
tier White secretary OF the Ma
tional Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People,
expressed the hope in a letter
to senator Wayne Morse that
sufficient courage can be mus
tered by the government to do
the simple thing which will
make unnecessary and unthin-
ka.ble any campaign of civil dis
obedience. That simple act Is
to wipe out segregation forth
with"
Mr.. Whites letter of April
IA was in responce to a wire
from Senator Morse deploring
what he deemed NAACP "en-
enlargement" OF the proposal
made by A. Philip Randolph
for complete non-participation
in any selectfve service or un-
iversal military training pro-
gram which does not specific
ally prohibit racial segregation.
Meanwhile on the floor Of
the Senate, April II, Mr.. Nor
Sc, a member Of the NAACP
board OF directors, demanded
to know "how far Mr.. White
would go, as secretary OF that
association, in supporting Mr..
Randolph's position, because
if he or the other officials OF
that association are going to
support to any degree what 50
ever Mr.. Randolph's civil dis
obedience program, | serve
notice now that | shall dissoc-
iatemyself from the board Of
directors of that association.
Asserting that 1--WE have not
counseled Negroes to refuse to
serve their country" Mr.. Viii
te> concluded: 1--WE would be
less than honest and grossly
derelict to the membership of
the NAACP and to America it
self if we did not say blutly
that the Negro is totally fed up
with segregation in the armed
services and will oppose in ev-
cry legitimate and legal fash
ion such segregation"
He cited the calling Unjust
ices" and determinations en-
dured by Negro troops in the
last war and charged that "the
unnecessary and dangerous EN-
phasis on racial segregation
broadens the chasm of antagon
ism between Negro and White
Americans because the Army
and Navy lack the courage to
abolish segregation. This pra-
ctice has caused the United
States to be ridiculed throug-
out the world, particularly a
mong the two-thirds Of thhe
people of the earth who are col
ored."
Not only has Congress fail
ed to take effective steps to-
wards eliminating segregation
in the armed services, Mr..
White maintained, but has also
engaged in "the cheapest of
politics" with regard to a
minimum civil rights program.
|It is openly reported" he said,
that the Republicans are de-
batting how little they can do
on the civil rights program and
still attract Negro support.
They are reported to favor an
emasculated anti-lynching bill,
overlooking the demand for alb
clifton OF the poll tax and free
dom to secure jobs on merit
through federal fair employ
ment practice law, believing
that the Negro vote can be pur-
chased by passage Of one en-
asculated bill. On the other
side on the aisle there is little
difference Of attitude"

 This route has maximum ele- vaton of 800 feet, and the ap- proach to the Pass is approximate ly 30 miles, which would give a fairly easy grade to or through the Pass. We are also informed by Citizens who are familiar with the route that there is no heavy winter snow fall along this route It is also used by the Planes in their flights to and from Anch- orage. which indicates that the weather conditions are fairly good. From the maps submitted one can trace the proposed route to Turnagain Arm where surveys would indicate the feasibility of crossing.
