ATLANTA, Ca. Nov. IS up.
"A campaign to more than
double the number Of Negro
voters in the South in the next
three years has been mapped
out by the National Association
for the Advancement Of Col
ored People.
"The immediate goal is to
bring Negro registration up to
so per cent Of its potential or
to about three million voters by
1850" Southern NAACP lead
ers said in a statement made
public yesterday at the end Of
a two-day conference.

Confident Of Goal
with the incentive of the
1857 civil rights law, we are
confident that this goal can be
reached" the statement said.
Such an increase in voting
strength will lead inevitably to
the discovery. nomination and
election Of qualified candidates,
regardless of race. who will
represent the best interests Of
all the people"
The statement was read by

tary Of the national organiza-
ton. after preparation by a

rected the meeting.
I'VE don't look for any mir

wilkins told a news conference.
Voter Statistics
He pointed out that only
about rs per cent of the Ne
groes Of voting age in the II
Southern States now are regis
tered, as compared to q go per
cent registration among eligible
white voters.
I'VE want everyone to vote,
whites and Negroes alike" said
Mr.. Wilkins. I'VE are not try
ing to register more Negroes
than whites. We feel that we
will have better government If
more people take part in cleo

The southern NAACP leaders
appointed q committee on i'm

into every Negro household in
the area. The committee ex-
poets to hold its first meeting
