Although the basic issues which
confronted the 228 delegates from
20 states who attended the conven-
ton here in 1920 remain much the
same, the focus has changed. In
1920 there were 65 recorded lynch
ings (eight of them in Georgia.
and the convention was primarily
concerned with wiping out that
evil. So far, there has not been a
single recorded lynching in 1851.
The revived Ku Klux Khan was
then a factor of grave concern.

Sieze Pair In
$1,000 SwindIe

NEW YORK = CAMP = Mrs.
Evelyn Bennett, 81, and Miss La
Christie Wilson, %, Harlem, were
charged with swindling a 66-year-
old Flatbush resident of her S.
900 life savings. The ancient "pig-
con drop" fraud was used to dupe
Miss Eleanor Paddock. The pair
were held on $4,000 bail each for
hearing July 8.
Seized by Detective Alfred Fling
erhut after being sought for near
ly two months, the women were
identified by Miss Paddock as the
pair who accosted her in Flat
bush department store with story
of having found an envelope con-
tanning $4,000. She said they Of
fered to share the "find' with her
if she could put up some security.
She agreed and withdrew all of
her savings but $50 from a bank
and gave it to them. They then
remembered an important phone
call they had to make and asked
her to wait until they returned
which she did until they were
nabbed.

Winston-Salem, N. G..
In 1920 the focal point of the
NAACP program and convention
was resistance to mob violence. In
the intervening years, mob viol-
ence has greatly abated. To-Day the
great issue before the convention
is the abolition of enforced segre-
cation in all public facilities. The
legal work of the Association in
1920 was chiefly concerned with
the defense of Negroes involved in
criminal cases in which they had
been denied fair and impartial
trials. While legal defense in crimi-
nal cases las the Martinsville
Seven, the Trenton Six and the
Groveland cases. remains an i'm
portant task, an increasing proper
ton of the NAACP legal work in
wolves civil cases designed to break
down segregation in education,
transportation, employment and
other fields.

More than 5000 delegates from
local and state education and teach
ers associations will represent the
near-haf million members of the
NEA at the convention. NEA rep
resentatives could not give an ex-
act count of the number of Negro
delegates to be in attendance. How
ever, it is estimated that nearly one
hundred such delegates will be
present from Negro and integrated
school teacher organizations.
Fifteen southern Negro organiza-
tions are eligible for affiliation
with the NEA under provisions of
an April 6 Interpretation permit
ting two NEA state affiliations
in those states. Since the interpre-
tation was issued thirteen such
state groups have connected with
the national body. There are
around 80 Negro local associations
which may send delegates to NEA
conventions.
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida,
Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Maryland, Mississippi, Oklahoma,
North Carolina, South Carolina,
Tennessee, and Virginia are the
state groups listed as having af-
filiated with the NEA. These state
associations are expected to have
delegates at San Francisco. Like
wise number of Negro delegates
will carry important participating
roles in the convention.
Since the NEA does not record
its memberships by race, it is inn
possible to determine its number
OF Negro members or the racial
identity of its pre-registration dele
gates.
