Randolph told 1900 delegates and

Porters outlined his civil rights
plans in which he asked for:
1. Observance of July 20 as
"civil disobedience" Sunday by
churches throughout the country.
v. Cooperation of both white
and Negro youths in the civil dis
obedience program by refusing to
register for the draft in a Jim
Crow army.

man to issue an executive order
banning armed forces segrega-
ton.
4. Opening of a picket line in
Washington to be led by RAN
dolph, himself. If the President
does not issue the requested ex-
ecutive order by August 26, or,
the calling off of the civil dis
obedience program If the Presi-
dent does issues the order.
To carry out his program Ran
dolph has organized the League
for Non-yiolent Civil Disobedience
Against Jim Grow Armed Forces.
Although the audience applauded
him loudly, the conference did not
go on record as endorsing his
activities.

of "real Americanism," Walter
White, secretary of the National

of Colored People. last week ex-
pressed the appreciation of the

this action.
Mr.. White declared the NAACP

abuses like lynching, the poll tax,
job discrimination and segrega-
