local branches, youth councils and

Executive Secretary Roy Wilkins
cited the previous days develop
ments in the civil rights struggle.
These included the announcement
Of chain store owners that they
intend to continue to refuse to
serve Negro customers at lunch
counters in the South, the mass
arrest Of students protesting this
discrimination in Georgia and
South Carolina, and the whiting
down Of civil rights legislation in
the Congress.
State Power Invoked
1T is apparent, he said that
the full power Of southern state
governments, including special
laws rushed through the Iegisla-
lures, as well as state, local and
county police forces is being used
to support chain variety stores in
their and-Negro lunch counter pol
icies, and that at the very height
Of this persecution the federal gov
eminent, through the Congress Of
the United States, is steadfastly
refusing to legislate adequate re-
lief"
In the face of this onslaught,
Mr.. wilkins pointed out, Negro
Americans are forced to fall back
upon their own resources-spirit-
ual, economic and political in
their campaign for equality and
human dignity"
The Associations Board Of Di-
rertors at its meeting on March IA
agreed ito support fully the pro-
test demonstrations aimed at the
huminating policy of chain variety
stores and to resist persecution
connected Herewith" the NAACP
leader reported to local units
Racial Self-Defense Expanded
Accordingly, he asserted, all
organized units Of the NAACP are
advised that a racial self-defense
policy on an expanded scale Is in
effect as of the date of this MEM
orandum" That policy, he explain
ed, encompasses the withholding
of patronage from the offending
chains.
In addition to the F. w. Wool
worth, S. S. Kresge, S. H. Kress
and w. T. Grant chains, the men,
orandum named Thalheimer's De-
partment Store in Richmond, Va,
which was the first to swear out
individual warrants for students
by name and where, outside the
store, Richmond police, using a
huge police dog, dragged the wife
of a national Board member off to
Jail"
Exempted from this national pol
icy Of withholding patronage are
stores in several southern cities
which have changed their prac-
tees and are now serving Negro
customers at their lunch counters"
Warns Against Communists
In a list of procedures designed
to guide the local units in their
protests, a separate memorandum
warns against attempts Of outsid-
ers to infiltrate the movement
"Other elements, including Com
munist and related groups, I'M
doubtedly will try to muscle in
with their slogans, picket signs
and literature. Every reasonable
and firm effort should be used to
prevent such intrusion" the men,
orandum warns.
However, the supplementary
memorandum urged the local BRAN
ches to seek the cooperation of
such non-Communist groups as
churches, lodges, trade unions, Soc
ial and civic clubs. Ministers, it
pointed out, can be especially
helpful in interpreting the purpose
of the protest to their congrega-
tons"
