The Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States was asked this week
to inyalidate the Little Rock and
North Little Rock ordinances un-
der which Mrs. Daisy Bates, the
Association s Arkansas state presi-
cent, and Mrs. Birdie Williams,
president of the North Little Rock
NAACP branch, were convicted
and fined for refusal to disclose
the names and addresses of
NAACP members.
In a brief filed by NAACP Cen
eral Counsel Robert L. Carter of
New York City and George Ho-
ward, jr., of Pine Bluff the SUI
preme Court was asked to re-
verse the convictions and to
strike down the laws contrary to
the due process clause OF the
Fourteenth Amendment.
Charged with violating ordin-
ances requiring them to turn over
to city officials the NAACP mem
bership lists, Mrs. Bates and Mrs.
Williams were tried and convicted
in municipal court, Dec. 1867.
Mrs. Bates was fined 800 and
Mrs. Williams $25 On appeal to
the circuit court of Pulaski coun-
ty, they were again convicted and
each find $25.
On Dec. %. 1868 The supreme
court of Arkansas, by a divided
curt, upheld the convictions and
entences. The court, in its opin-
on sought to distinguish the Ark
nsas ordinances from the Ala
bama case in which the United
States Supreme Court ruled that
the NAACP did not have to dis
close the names of its members
In the brief filed this week, the
NAACP contended that the or
dinances were invoked again.
Mrs. Bates and Mrs. Williams for
no valid purpose The record
does reveal the brief asserts,
that the ordinances We're enact
ed to find out what was going on
in the NAACP, but mere curiosity
would not seem sufficient war
rant for curbing freedom Of
speech and association or for in
vading the privacy of association
which the federal Constitution Sc
cures"
The NAACP further asserts that
