I3 Ways to Kill
Your Organization

Are you unhappy with the
way your organization is being
run? Are you hurt because they
didn't make you president BY
spontaneous acclaim? County
agent George Vapaa has some
suggestions you can put into
action that will show them all
Here they are:
1. Don't come to meetings.
2. If you attend meeting,
find fault with the work of 9TH
er officers and members.
3. Never accept an Office or
assignment-it's easier to critf-
cize than to do things.
4. If asked to give your opin-
ion regarding an important mat
ter, say nothing. After the
meeting, tell everyone how
things should be done.
B. Don't bother to help get
new members.
6. When a banquet is given,
tell everyone money is being
wasted on blow-outs which
make big noise and accomp-
lish nothing.
7. When no banquet is given,
say your organization is dead
and needs can tied to it.
8. If you receive bill for
dues, resign from the organiza-
tion.
8. Don't tell your officers how
they can help you-but if they
don't help, resign.
10. Get all the a ssistan n ce
your organization gives, but
don't give it any.
IL. Talk cooperation for the
other fellow with you, but never
cooperate with him.
IL. At every opportunity
threaten to resign. Then get
your friend to resign also.
l3. When everyt h ing alse
fails, cuss your officers.
The agent advises all mem
bers of organizations to read
this list carefully. 1t takes time
and patronage, he says, to be
a good member. So, if this is
the list of rules you are follow
ing, go to your next meeting
and help change them.

Orders Union To
Pay Back Wages

JAW Local 212 was ordered to-
day by the National Labor Rela-
tions Board (NLRB) to pay any
wages lost TO a Chrysler Corp.
employee who was fired in 1853
for fighting with union steward.
The worker, RhoIo Taylor. filed
a complaint with The NLRB charg-
ing that Local 2l2 officials pro-
voked the fight TO stop his or
sanizing efforts on behalf Of the
independent Society Of Skilled
Trades.
The fight occurred in Chryslcr's
Vernon plant on March %, 1853.
The NLRB conducted a hearing
into the charges 2 years ago and
issued its decision backing Taylor
today.
Thomas Roumell. NLRB regional
director here, said the ruling
requires Local 212 to notify Chrys-
Ter that the union would not
object TO the rehiring of Taylor.
The NLRB also instructed the
local, he said, to post a notice
that informs employees, in effect
that the union will not attempt
to restrain or coerce persons who
engage in activities in behalf of
the Society of Skilled Trades or
the International Association of
Tool Craftmen.

Crode-o-Yeor Plan
Of Indignation Upset

PHILADELPHIA - Delaware
has not decided yet whether to
continue its fight for court ac-
ccptance of a gradc-a.ycar school
indignation plan or prepare a
new plan allowing faster intcgra-
ton.
The US. Third Circuit OF APP
peals yesterday reaffirmed an
earlier ruling that a srsde-s-yesr
plan over l2-yesr period was
TOO slow.
II ordered the State Board Of
Education and the state super
intendent of public instruction
to submit by Dec. 81 a modified
plan allowing full indignation Of
all grades by the fall of 1861.
But the court. in a 81 ruling,
said that this means indignation
for all Negro public school stu
dents who want to attend white
schools; not forced indignation
of all Negro students.

Leader Faces

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, August
25.--The NAACP here has called
for state and national support
of its Miami branch president
ordered to appear in Circuit
Court here August 80 to show
cause why he should not be
held in contempt of court and
possibly jailed.
The Reverend Theodore r.
Gibson has continuously refused
TO answer questions of the FIori-
ID Legislative Interim Investi-
getting Committee as to Miami
branch membership lists.
Robert w. Saunders, NAACP
field secretary, calling for sup
port of Rev. Gibson, said mass
meetings for the eve of the court
hearing are being planned.
The NAACP leader was cited
by the legislative investigating
committee in November, 1859,
after he refused to let it check
NAACP membership lists. He
told the Committee:
Whom ! associate with is
none of your business; this is
my bvsiness-that is right in
herent in the US. Constitution. "
The Committee contends that
the reason it is investigating the
NAACP is to determine the ex-
tent it has been infiltrated with
Communists.

Of action 70 deal with the chronic

outlined three immediate steps
that il intends 10 make TO achieve
equality OF treatment:
/. Because the present statutes
and enforcement dealing
with civil rights violations
place too great burden on
the private citizen for re-
dress Of his complaint. the
NAACP will urge the State
Legislature again when it
conveneS TO pass an omnibus
civil rights bill which will
create a broad civil rights
Commission with additional
provisions for enforcement
and investigation of civil
rights violations.
2. The NAACP will call on both
the Democratic and Republic
can State Conventions and
their respective nominees
for Governor of the State
their positions with respect
to strengthening legislation
in the civil rights field.
3. The NAACP is calling for
the reactivation of its Dis

tee and the development of
q COMMUNICATIVE campaign
against discrimination in all
types of public eating and
drinking places. This cam
paign, and specifically the
work of the Discrimination
