Among SuCn OFFICIAL tederal
bodies Mr.. Wilkins mentioned in
his reply on Oct. 10, are the u. S.
Department of Justice and the
House Committee on Un-American
Activities.
In addition to not being listed as
subversive, the NAACP, the vii.
kins statement pointed out, has
been endorsed by F'BI Chief ].
Edgar Hoover. who declared in a
letter that the NAACP has done
much to perpetuate the de-
sires of our founding fathers"
Mr.. wilkins charged that Mr..
Cook cannot show anywhere TO
anyone a listing of the NAACP
as subversive by any responsible
body"
On the contrary, the NAACP
official continued, ION March 10,
1854, our Freedom Fulfillment
Conference in Washington was
greeted in person by President
Eisenhower who expressed his
good wishes for the prosecution
Of our work"
In his speech, delivered before
the annual convention Of the
Peace Officers of Georgia Asso-
citation in Atlanta, Mr.. Cook
termed the Association sinister"
and said the issue involved is
not one Of race but rather of sub
version"
Replying. Mr.. wilkins main
tanned, Mfr. Cook knows that the
NAACP is not a communist or
ganization or a communism front
organization"
Mr.. Cooks speech, the NAACP
head added, lis apparently part
Of a conspiracy by some southern
state officials to combat the us.
Supreme Courts order TO deseg-
regate the public schools by charg-
ing the NAACP with being sub
versive."
In this connection, the wilkins
statement cited recent speeches
by officials in North Carolina,
South Carolina, and Mississippi,
which either charged or limited
that the NAACP is a subversive or
a foreign" organization.
Defiance Of Constitution Involved
The real subversives. Mr.. VII
kins declared. "are those who defy
the Constitution Of our country
and openly declare they viii not
obey II. or who scheme 10 evsde II
and counsel others TO do likewise
Mr.. Cook has said that the su-
preme Court ruling on segrega-
ton in the public schools should
not be obeyed. He has advised on
WAYS and means Of circumveutiug

The NAACP statement contin-
ued. Tt Is he, not we, who is

Share Your Wisdom
BY DIR. THOMAS X. GAINES

NEW YORK (GLOBAL)- The
first step to the life beautiful is
to design such life in the silence
OF the night. In your first attempt
to open the door to higher living,
let it be in darkness or stiffness.
Healing and supply are found
everywhere, but you should first
of all seek your desires in the sill
ence of the mind or in the still
ness Of the night. Later, as under
standing comes, associate with
kindred souls who are inclined to
discipline their thoughts, habits,
attitudes, SO as to deserve a SUI
