ENTERS new PHASE MAY %

NEW YORK - National atten-
ton began focusing this week on

BIRMINGHAM NAACp ACTS
TO End ARSON, B0MBINGS

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. A cam
palgn to focus attention on racial
violence in this city was launched
this week by the Birmingham
branch of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People, following the recent de-
struction by fire of two Negro
homes which have figured in four
of the city's nine unsolved racial
bombings.
NAACP leaders have formulat-
ed plans for d giant mass meeting
and a conference with city Off
cials, and have urged ministers of
the city to mobilize moral support
behind the drive to clear up the
violence. Among community lead
ers who participated in a meeting
last week to plan protest and ac-
ton were w. H. Hollins and r. F..
Coar of the Birmingham Protec-
tive Property Owners Association;
Rev. j. L. Ware and Rev. J. Clyde
Perry of the Interdenominationa
Ministers Alliance; Rev. r. L. AL
ford, president of the NAACP
branch; Mrs. A. W. Plump, chair
man of the social action commit
tee of the Birmingham Metropoli-
tan Council of Negro Women; At
torney A. d. Shores, president of
the Jefferson County Progressive
Democratic Council and a member
of the NAACP national legal COM
mittee; and Emory o. Jackson,
editor of the Birmingham World.
The two burned homes are To-
Gated in an area which was zoned
for white residents only until the
NAACP won two lower court vic
tories invalidating the city's racial
zoning laws. Last December, less
than forty eight hours after the
u. S. District Court upheld a de-
cision striking down the coming
laws, the first of the bombings in
the area now known as "Dyna-
mite Hill" occurred.

Higher Prices Seen
I'm 81 for Some Types
OF BurIey. tobacco
BY the Assecioied Press

Growers of hurley, fire-cured.
dark air-cured and most cigar
types of tobacco are likely to get
higher prices for their crops this
year than they did last, the Agri-
culture Department said today.
However, with an indicated rec
ord production of 100000, 900
pounds of flue-cured tobacco in
sight, the department said "aver-
age prices for all flue-cured COM
bined Will probably not average as
high as the record SAT- cents per
pound for the 1850 crop"
The department pointed out that
hurley averaged 48.9 cents a pound
last year. new record, and the
announced minimum support price
for this years crop is 49.4 cents.
| Prices of flue-cured tobacco mar
keted through late August aver
aged about 10 per cent lower than
in the comparable 1850 period, the
department said. 1t said the quail
Iity Of the crop was down from
last year.
A larger volume of lower-priced
grades will tend to favor larger
exports, 1t said, with the United
Kingdom to increase its take over
the 1850 level.
The department foresaw "a
fairly strong demand" for the large
1851 Eue-cured crop throughout
the selling season"
The hurley marketing season
usually does not start until early
December.
