The Virginia Supreme Court
today upheld the right Of the

Committee TO obtain. through

ords Of the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement Of
Colored People.
The Appeals Court afiirincd
the action Of Trial Judge w.
Moscoe Huntley In Issuing sub
poenas for the records against
w Lester Banks. State NAACP
secretary.
Attorneys for the NAACP
had appealed Judge Huntley's
refusal TO quash the subpoenas
In q later proceeding.
They had argued that the
trial court lacked Jurisdiction
In the FIRST place, and that
TO issue the disclosure orders
Judge Huntley had improperly
used his judicial powers TO help
Ia legislative committee In an
unconstitutional effort to en-
force laws.
As to NAACP arguments
that the issuance Of subpoenas
Is not authorized In the act
creating the investigating COM
mittee-and that the act itself
violates the United States Con-
stitution-the appeals court
said:
Both contentious are with
out merit"
The court also dismissed in
summary fashion an argument
by the NAACP that the real
purpose Of the Boatwright
committee--ofiicially the Gen.
eral Assembly's Committee on
Offenses Against the Admin
istration Of Justice--was to en-
force statutes against the IL
