me to set forth why it is import
ant that you support the NAACP.
l write this message to NAACP
leaders and friends Of the Asso-
citation everywhere--t TO Americans
of all creeds, all colors, all races.
I write out of a sense of instant
urgency and from a deep faith in
the ability Of Americans TO pro-
teCt and defend their inalienable
rights against all threats whether
they be internal or external.
In many Of the states of the
union, in cities and rural commun-
tiles, the klans and councils are
organizing with powerful and bold
supporters to destroy the very
foundation stones of individual
freedom which caused this coun-
try to grow to greatness and to
become a beacon light Of hope for
the oppressed peoples Of the entire
world.
The men who control the klans
and councils are ruthless in their
desire to reweld around our ankles
the heavy chains Of discrimination
and servitude so recently broken
by the Supreme Court Of the Unit
ed States. Make no mistake about
this. They are strong and they
grow stronger. They have friends
in very high places, men who are
willing to use the ignorance Of the
kIans and councils to further their
own political ends.
Their appeal is not to brotherly
love, but to hate and scorn. They
spread fear; they feed on hostility;
they use violence as weapon to
create and maintain terror; they
intimidate the helpless with
bombs; they have reached into
some state legislatures and ad-
ministrative offices in their at
tempt to destroy their most fear
ed enemy, the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement Of Col
ored People.
The very focal point Of their
hatred is centered around the MA
ACP because this organization has
won again and again in each con-
test Of strength, in each struggle
for the right.
The men who use the klans and
the councils know that II they can
seriously weaken the NAACP.
they Will have blunted the most
powerful weapon that freedom
loving Americans have. They also
know that unless they can stop
the progress Of the NAACP. their
hope Of returning America TO the
dark days Of prejudice and dis
is done.
They have thus set out TO des-
troy the NAACP, to threaten and |
kill its members, to intimidate |
Negro or white, who /
speaks well Of the organization, |

Reports Record Negro
cafhoIic Membership
Is Up 90 Per Cent

Washington ANP)-A record
53O,7O2 American Negroes are
now members of the Roman Cath
Ollie church, according to a report
of the Commission for Catholic
Missions Among Colored People
and Indians,
The figure, the commission said,
represents an increase of 80 per
cent during the past rs years.
Emphasizing the speed at which
Negroes are embracing the Cath
Ole faith, the report states that
they are being converted at the
rate of 1000 each month, with
the largest groups coming from
New York, Philadelphia, Wash
ington, d. C, St. Louis, Detroit
and Los Angeles. Last year alone,
there were 10, 900 converts.
The report also listed a total Of
l17.2s1 American Indians in the
faith.
In another phase of the report,
IS, 900 Negro children are said to
be enrolled in 345 parochial
schools in IS dioceses. In all but
few of these dioceses the per-
centage Of Negro children enrolled
in such schools is higher than that
of white children.
The commission also indicated
an interest in the social needs Of
Negroes and Indians migrating to
the larger cities. II called upon
Catholic parishes in western and
midwestern cities to take a special
interest in the spiritual and &c
onomic welfare Of the steady
stream" Of Negroes and Indians
who are leaving rural areas and
reservations to find employment
opportunities in the cities.
