VA. NAACP TO
MAP CIVIL
RIGHTS FIGHT

STAUNTON, va ANP)--The
annual session OF the Virginia
state NAACP conference here,
october 1-s, will be the most i'm
portant in the history Of the con-
ference, according to W. Lester
Banks, executive secretary. The
aim of this session is Ito survey
the field of battle and plan our
attack" he said.
Banks declared in announcing
the forthcoming session that "a
challenge has been flung in the
face of every Negro in the state of
Virginia." adding that the group
plans to survey the field of bat
tie and plan the attack"
1.-THE NAACP accepts the chal-
lenge," Mr.. Banks said. and he
appealed to members to "come
then, let us reason together at
the convention, lest we lose that
which We have gained"
The delegates. leaders and Wis
itors attending the sessions will
be entertained and welcomed by
the Staunton branch of the MA
CP which will be host to the con-
vention. Arrangements will be
made locally by the Rev. t. ].
Jemison, president of the branch.
and persons appointed by him.
Banks resorted to Virginia his
tory to bolster up the fighting
spirit of the NAACP. recalling
that 1t was a Virginian, Patrick
Henry, who said us life so dear
or peace so sweet as to be pur-
chased at the price of chains and
slavery?" Today, Banks assert
ed, the self-same question must
be faced by every Virginia Negro,
and added:
Are we willing to continue to
support a dual citizenship society
that advocates first and second
class citizenship, a type and pat
tern of thinking that was con-
ceived and nurtured solely for the
purpose of fastening the yoke of
improperly about the neck of ev-
cry person of color?
Already the lines of battle are
clearly drawn. The NAACP, thru
its broad school facilities pro-
gram, has succeeded in focusing
wide attention on the educational
abuses, as practiced under the
dual citizenship regime. Activi-
ties in a number of schools divi-
sions is progressing as planned.
To-day, we are voicing the con-
clusion which was reached many
years ago, that is there's is no
such thing as separate but equal
The history of the Negro and his
struggle toward complete citizen
ship dictates the validity of this
conclusion not only on the edu-
cational field, but in all other
phases of our daily lives: hous-
ing, recreation, amp o y ment,
health and other fields of endea-
vor.
This program is presenting
new Negro with completely re-
vised pattern of thinking. This
new Negro is no longer afraid of
requesting, yes demanding, that
which is constitutionally his"
Banks concluded.

fees at 726 Eleventh street NV.
The reason for President Truman
to step aside is that the revolution
is over, the United States has
changed from an economy OF
scarcity to one of plenty and the
general has a plan to make the
most of it.
The plan is to add to our tri-
partite Government Executive, leg
islative and judiciaD a fourth and
equal element, the economic. An
economic cabinet would exercise the
economic will of the people ex-
pressed through industrial guilds.
The idea is that people want lot
and they would get it.

and universal military training. He
