Nations, was denounced here as an
instigator of racial hate by Walter
White, NAACP executive secre-

the opening of the annual member
ship drive of the Atlanta NAACP.
Gov. Byrnes was denounced for
his St.. Patrick's Day address last

he asserted that the NAACP and

Denouncing this charge as a

the constitutional rights of indi-

and executioner, preached racial
intolerance, and debased human de-

"The NAACP, on the other hand,
has consistently operated within
the framework Of constitutional
