Cleveland-The achievements Of
the NAACP in efforts to outlaw

mob violence have been of great
value to organized labor, Roy
wilkins, acting secretary of the
National Association for the Adj
vaneement Of Colored People,
told the Congress of Industrial
Organizations in its 18th annual
convention here today.
While there are still terror and
mobs in thte South, They do not
dominate the scene as they once
did" Mr.. Wilkins said. THE over
whelming public opinion, once
either on the side of the Lynchers
or silent and indifferent, now ac-
lively opposes mob violence"
In this new atmosphere, large

year fight against mob violence,
organized labor has been able to 60
forward with its organizing drive

al asserted
Reviewing the role Of the NAAC

Wilkins said that the opening of

was a victory for organized labor
because we can be sure that when
the voting is in full swing the
number Of labors enemies will be
cut sharply. For the hitherto gagg-

also workers-will rise and speak,

Hearing Asked On

Case By NAACP

New York-An application for a
hearing on the Hampstead, l.. I.
segregated school appeal presently
pending before the Commission of
Education Of the State of New
York was filed this week by at
torneys for the National Assoeia-
ton for the Advancement of Col
ored People.
In the application, the NAACP
charged that eight parents of II
children signed letters under du-
ress by the superintendent of
schools, indicating that they wish
ed their children to remain in the
segregated Prospect School al
though they live outside of that
district.
The same parents were served
with an affidavit filed by all five
members of the local school board,
stating that the parents voluntari-
ly signed letters expressing the
wish that their children remain in
the charge of the NAACP that Ne
gro school children are segregated
in Hampstead is disproved by the
fact that Negroes participate in all
of the extra curricular activities
in the high school although they
constitute only 81 per cent of
the students in the school.
THE facts concerning the high
school. OF course" stated Mrs.
Constance Baker Motely, NAACP
attorney handling the case" are
entirely irrelevant to the issue in
this case, but are typical of the
defenses of the school board to
NAACP charges that local board
deliberately gerrymandered the
school district lines so as to con-
tinue the segregated status of
