VIRGINIA TOLD
TO INTERCRATE

RICHMOND. Va. (CNS)-The
NAACP moved quietly, but il
moved and so it has won round
one against Virginia's stand pat
policy of not budging on its seq
regated schools. In fact, the
whole of segregationists have
been caught mapping and are
scrambling to muster some kind
Of defense before a crumbling
wall.
The first big crack In the
segregation line, came last week
when Federal Judge John Paul
in Charlottesville ordered the
school board to begin making

Man 5 Name

NEW YORK, JULY 49,
Prentice P. Pruitt, a member
of the Florida State Legislature,
has been informed that his
name has been removed from
the rolls of the NAACP.
Mr.. Pruitt had publicly
complained that he had received
an unsolicited NAACP MEM
bership card.
In letter to DR.. Allan Knight
Chalmers, the Florida legisla-
tor denied ever having taken
out an NAACP membership
or having made any contribu-
ton to the Association inasmuch
as his views are utterly in
compatible" with those of the
NAACP. Implying that he was
the victim of a plot to embar-
rasss him, Mr.. Pruitt requested
that his name be stricken from
the list OF members.
Responding to this letter, Roy
Wilkins, NAACP executive Sec
rotary, informed the Floridian
that his name had been removed
"since we do not desire anyone
in our ranks who Is not in
sympathy with the purpose Of
this Association"
The $500 membership fee,
Mr.. wilkins pointed out, "came
in our regular mail and was
handled in routine fashion by
our mail clerks and membership
processing checks.
The name had no significance
to anyone who handled the
transaction"
The letter with the enclosure
was postmarked "Waycross.
Ca, June 10, 1886"
With the fee was a member
ship coupon filled out with the
hand printed name and address:
Prentice Pruitt, Monticello, Fla.
Receipt of memberships in
this fashion. Mr.. wilkins said,
ais not unusual in organizations
like ours
Assuring Mr.. Pruitt that the
"NAACP was not party to
any attempt to embarrass" him,
