The record of NAACP cam
paigns spread wide: equal rights
in education, equality of teachers
salaries, equal job opportunities
and fair employment practices;
abolition of segregation in the
armed forces, elimination of segre-
CATION in interstate travel, aboH-
ton of the poll tax and the white
Democratic primary; the outlaw
ing of racial restrictive coven-
ants. Much of this work is unfin-
ished and is being done by men
and women still active so we will
leave them without comment until
their books are closed.
But I should like to mention
one thing which must give an old
NAACP warrior a lot of inner
satisfaction. Back 1926 when the
first NAACP restrictive covenant
case Georgian V. Buckley went
to the United States Supreme
Court, James A. Cobb of Washing
ton argued that it was just as I'M
constitutional for a court to en-
force a racial restrictive covenant
as it was for city council to pass
a racial restrictive ordinance. The
Court sCoffed at this argument in
1925; but in 194S it outlawed the
enforcement Of racial restrictive
covenants by any court, state or
federal, on this very hdentica
ground. The N.A.A.CP. has al
ways been ahead of its time That
is why the NAACP has lasted
forty years, has more branches
1929 today than it had members
in the first two years of its ex-
istence A half million people sup
port it because thru the years it
has stood its ground and never
made a compromise on a matter
of basic principle.
White and black people, Jews
and Genules, Catholics and Pro-
testants, conservatives and radi-
Gals, men and women of every
political belief have worked to-
gether in the NAACP to bring
democracy to America, regardless
OF race, color or creed.
AS to the future, let the world
know we have just begun to fight.

DR.. Martin Quietly
Points Out Who

Discovered Penicillin
Editor: On page four of the
January % issue of the paper
you have reprinted an article
from New Republic which l think
conveys an inaccurate impression
to your readers. This article is as
follows:
When Harold Stassen in a
Forum Of the Air radio debate
the other day charged that no
great advance like penicillin had
ever come from a country with a
medical-insurance plan, Oscar Ew-
ing quietly pointed out that peni-
cillin came from England"
would like to quietly point out
to Mr.. Ewing that penicillin was
discovered by English scientists
long before the blighting influence
of government medicine had made
itself felt. This is typical Of the
misrepresentation made by Mr..
Ewing and hope you will call
your readers attention to it.
