Bitterness Cited

AT the same time, Mr.. Will
kins released the following state
ment 10 the press:
THE NAACP does not and
has never in its history advo-
Gated the use Of violence. We
have fought against lynching
from the first day of our or
ganization fifty years ago and
we rcpudiate any pro-lynching
statement by one of our officers,
regardless of provocation.
AT the same time it must be
recognized that the mood of Ne
gro citizens from one end of
the nation to the other is one
of bitterness and anger over the
lynching in Poplarville, Miss,
April 25, and over. the numerous
instances of injustice meted out
to Negroes by the courts in GER
tain sections of the South. They
see Negroes lynched or sentenc-
ed to death for the same crimes
for which white defendants are
givn suspended sentences or set
free. They are no longer willing
to accept this double standard
of justice"

In a letter TO Saul ]. Turell,
president of Sterling Television,
a film distributing company,
NAACP Executive Secretary Roy
wilkins charges that the old d.
w. Griffith film, first released
in 1915, "glorifies the Ku Klux
Khan, completely distorts the
role of the Negro in Reconstruc-
ton, and arrouSes racial hate. "
The NAACP has opposed the
showing of this film since its
earliest release.
The film, which is periodical.
ly reSurrected, lis a picture of
hatred and of lies" the NAACP
leader asserts. BY casting the
Ku Klux Khan as its hero. the
film not only offends Negro citi-
zens, but also Catholics and
Jews. who are likewise victims
of Khan hatred. The Khan was
no purer in those days than it
is now. II was spawned of ha-
tired and nourished on violence"

The letter, dispatched on May
