Forty Years Of
Progress: The
Story Of The
NAACP

One hundred forty years ago
Saturday February 12) a child
who was to become the sixteenth
president OF the United States,
was born in a sub-standard dwell
ing in the Kentucky backwoodsl
Today he is remembered as the
Great Emancipator and peoples
everywhere who have known or
preston revere his memory and
find in his sacrifices new hope for
real and lasting freedom What
better time, then, than the birth.
day Of Abraham Lincoln, for paus-
ing to consider the progress made
in building a society of freedom
and equality for all men?
On another Lincoln's birthday
forty years ago., groupq of Negro
and white Americans who did inst
that-stopped to consider the pro-
gress this country had made in
fulfilling the obligations imposed
upon 1t by the Emancipation Proc
Iamatlon-Were appalled, and a.
harmed at the injustice and in
equality to which Negroes were
subjected. Realizing that indiyid-
ual protests were of little avail.
this handful of outraged citizens
banded together and issued a call
for a national conference "for the
discussion of present evils, the
Volclng of protests, and the renew
al Of the struggle for civil and DO
litical liberty
Thus, on the one hundredth
birthday of Abraham Lincoln, be-
gan the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie.
A Dream Realized.
The dream of the fifty-three
signers of this original call for
large and powerful body of
citizens to fight for equal rights
has become a reality in a meas
ure far greater than any of them
could have envisioned. On it's
fortieth anniversary, the NAACP
is a nationwide mass organiza-
ton with membership of half
million Americans Of every race,
creed and color, representing one
of the most potent forces of our
generation in support of civil
rights. It's forty-year record of
championing the Negroes cause
has contributed significantly to
the progress of the race during
the first half of this century.
Through its 1000 branches in
45 states, the District of Column
bia and the Territory of Hawaii,
the NAACP carries on the day
to-ay struggles of the $4,000, 900
Negroes for an equal share in the
rights, privileges and responsible
ties Of American citizenship. 1t
maintains national headquarters
in the Willkie Memorial Building
in New York City, regional offic-
es in San Francisco and Dallas,
and a bureau in washington, en-
ploying a total of 80 workers in
all offices. It's official organ is the
Crisis, monthly magazine. 1t
also publishes The NAACP Bull
letin' and variety of occasional
pamphlets and other literature.
The growth and the expansion
of the Association is the result
Of the SUSTAINED and heroic efforts
of the founders and leaderh of
the organization, but also of rank
and file Americans of all races,
colors and creeds in the big cities
and small towns of all sections of
the country. From the beginning.

Senate Group Drops
All Of Brannan Plan
From Compromise Bill
BY me Associated Press

A bipartisan Senate group to-
day agreed to take out the few
remaining shreds of the "Brannan
plan" from their compromise farm
program for next year.
Senator Anderson, Democrat, of
New Mexico. told reporter an
Agriculture subcommittee would
eliminate a section that would
have allowed Secretary of Agri-
culture Brannan to make a lin
tied trial of production payments.
Mr.. Brannan suggested this
elimination to the Senate group
last weekend after the House pre-
viously killed off a proposed trial
run limited to few farm products.
Senator Aiken. of Vermont, rank
ing Republican member of the
farm legislative group, said:
Il can't see any part of the
Brannan plan left in the Anderson
(compromise) bill now. This GER
tainly will give Secretary Brannan
a chance to make this an outright
political issue next year.
Mr.. Brannan and his supporters
already have made it clear they
have not given up their fight to
muster public support-in hopes
Of eventual congressional action
for his new farm plan.
Under it, Mr.. Brannan sug-
gested the program of bolstering
farm incomes by Government
price props through loans and
purchases be abandoned on
perishable food products such as
meats and dairy products. In
stead he said consumers could
benefit from lower market levels
while farmers could collect pro-
duction payments Government
subsidies-if necessary to keep
their income uncertain levels.
When the House rejected even a
trial of the Brannan plan it also
voted to kill a long-range flexible
price support act approved by
Congress last year, to take effect
January l, 1850. Instead the
House voted for another year of
high-level wartime rigid price
supports at 90 per cent of parity.
