would be levied for the privilege of
doing business within the city. And
that organizations could only claim
immunity If they were operating
as benevolent, charitable, mutual
benefit, fraternal or non-profit
groups.
Associate Justice Whitaker kept
pressing the point on whether the
city had the right to levy a pen
atty upon an individual when the
ordinance specifically stated that
only organizations could be pen
allied.
Carter said this question had
not been raised in the courts be-
low. BY failing to do so they had
probably wavered their rights to
bring it up in the High Court. He
conceded that Mrs. Bates and Mrs.
Williams were prosecuted as Gus
todians Of the membership lists of
their respective organizations. The
NAACP could have taken this po-
sition and not turned over any in
formation at all.
Query BY Justice Franlxfurter
Associate Justice Frankfurter
persisted in Knowing how many
organizations in Little Rock had
been requested to make available
similar information and how many
had complied.
Atty. Kemp said this information
was not available, but he would
say that something between five
and ten organizations had supplied
such information.
But Kemp declined to say, in
answer to Mr.. Justice Stewards
question, how many such organiza-
tons operate in Little Rock. But
not more than 20 he said.
Kemp claimed that membership
lists Of organizations were filed
away in the office of the City
Clerk and were not made available
to anybody except interested
parties" He could not determine
who might be considered interest
ed parties"
Kemp Has Mlsled The Court
This point was disputed by Car
ter who claimed that Kemp has
misled the court in regard to the
accessibility Of these records. They
are accessible to the public" he
said.
Sitting in as advisors to Carter
were the NAACP's Chief Counsel
Thurgood Marshall Of New York,
and associate counsels Oliver Hill
of Richmond, Frank Reeves of
Washington and George Howard,
Jr., Of Pine Bluff, Ark.

Bates was fined 500 in the Nun
icipaI court of Little Rock. On
appeal the fine was reduced to SIS
by the Circuit court Of Pulaski
County.
Consolidate Bates and williams
Mrs. Williams was also fined SIS
in December, 1857. for failing to
furnish names and addresses Of
members of the North Little Rock
Branch NAACP. Both cases were
carried to the Supreme court OF
Arkansas where they were con-
solidated because the legal ques-
tons were the same. and the city
ordinances under which they were
prosecuted were the same in both
cities.
In his argument before the Su-
preme court, Atty. Robert L. Cart
er of New York contended that the
ordinance itself is unConstitution-
al. It Is an invasion of the right OF
privacy and freedom of speech and
association which Is protected by
the 18th Amendment of the Con-
stitution.
CITY Attorney Explains" Action
Joseph C. Kemp, City Attorney
for Little Rock, contended that
the information was only requested
to determine whether the organiza-
ton should be exempt from "oc-
cupation license" privilege.
Such an organization could be
engaged in a profit making ges-
ture," said Kemp. And the City
Of Little Rock requested this in
formation to determine whether
the organization was taxable"
Carter mentioned briefly that the
climate of public opinion in Ark
ansas was adverse to the Associa-
ton. And the request for a mem
bership list was only an effort on
the part Of city officials to curb
the NAACP's activities in that
area. People would become afraid
that a disclosure of their names
might subject them to various
kinds of pressures. They might
become objects Of harassment, &C.
onomic reprisals and physical
harm.
Pass Ordinance To Curb NAACP
He chained that the investiga-
ton was not being made merely to
determine whether the organization
should be tax exempt, because all
information requested under the
ordinance was supplied except lists
of membership. The ordinance has
nothing to do with members, he
added, It is only concerned with
the activities of an organization.
The ordinance under which the
women were prosecuted was passed
in Little Rock on October IA, 1857,
shortly after the Federal Govern
ment sent troops into the city to
protect children in the school in
tegration fight. It said in part that
the payment of occupation licenses

CHRISTMAS Tree SUGGESTIONS

Buy a tree that has been cut as recently as possible.
Choose a small one.
Cut oft the end of the trunk diagonally at least one
inch above the original cut end. Stand the tree at once in
a container of water and keep the water level above the
cut surface during the entire time that the tree is in the
house. If the tree is not to be set for several days, it
should be kept out of doors to prevent drying.
Set up in a cool area away from raditors, stoves etc.
Use over head guy wires to prevent upset.
Do not obstruct any available exit with tree. Use
only safe electrical illumination. Prevent light bulb con-
tact with combustible material. Have an extinruisher
handy. E~xtinguish lights when no one is around. Dis
pose of tree before it dries.

Dakotas, the principal financial
benefits deriving from its con-
struction accrue to the Sidney
community. He said that the new
taxes paid to Richland County are
only one of several advantages
resulting from the location of the
station at Sidney. Substantial adj
ditions of personnel to operate the
plant as well as to operate the new
coal mine at Savage has meant a
large increase in the local payroll.
INDUS payroll in the Sidney area
is presently running at the rate
of more than 5000, 900 annually.
Most of the money spent by MDU
for fuel remains in the area in
the form of labor costs for mining
the coal, substantial taxes on the
coal mining equipment, royalty
and lease payments and the cost
of transporting the coal from the
mine to the power station. In addi-
ton, large sums are spent in the
area fbr materials and supplies.
I'VE recognize u responsibility
to pay taxes that r just and re-
asonable and are glad they r put
to good use in helping to support
schools, build roads and maintain
other essential public services.
This all helps to build a better
community and provides a basis
for further future growth" Nc
Donald said.
Mcdonald stated that a check
for the first half Of INDUS tax bill
was mailed to the Richland County
Treasurer on November 81. The
final payment will be made on
May 81, 1860.
