protest against its raciSt poll
cies was approved by the Ma
tional Association for Advance
ment of Colored people today
as part of its civil rights pro-
gram for the coming year.
Delegates said, 1--WE con-
denim the dangerous racist
policies of the Union of South
Africa and the ruthless Vio-
lence with which protests
against them have been sup
pressed"
In addition to the boycott on
South African goods, they
called on Government and pri-
vate financial organizations to
insist that South Africa "aban-
don its persecution of Africans,
Indians and to some extent the
British minority" as a pre-
requisite to further loans of
financial aid or trade.
Atlanta Chosen
They further urged that the
Government of the United
States welcome the oppressed
people of South Africa to
America to live"
Delegates to the $4,000
member annual convention
shouted down a committee
suggestion that they hold their
1862 convention in Portland.
Oreg.. and voted to approve
Atlanta, Ga. instead.

bring the civil rights struggle

where our fight is the most
intense"

tion, Philadelphia, was chosen
a year ago.
Two past NAACP conventions
have been held in Atlanta.

Nations. including military in
tervention if necessary, against
the Union of South Africa ION

ASians."
On the home front, the group
served notice on the Nations
labor organizations that dis
elimination must be stopped
within union ranks.
In the case of the building
trades skilled craft unions the
NAACP will, "aS a last resort"
call for enforcement of the
anticloSed shop provision con-
tained in the Taft-Hartley Act.

Mr.. Roberts also cited what
he termed conflicts between the

Let's be blunt about it. You
don't have a compact as far
as Virginia is concerned" he
told Senator Hart.
Jerome M. Alper, attorney,
who helped draft the compact
for the Government, disputed
criticisms made Friday by o.
Roy Chalk. president of D. C.
Transit System, who vigorously
opposes the compact. Mr..
Chalk, like Mr.. Roberts,
charged that the compact would
bring higher fares.
Mr.. Alper said opponents
failed to make their case be-
fore the House Judiciary Com
mittee and said he felt their
objections were not sufficiently
sound to justify holding up
congressional approval.

Daniel H. Shear, general

Mr.. Roberts based his COM

the proposed new regulatory

This return would apply for
all transit firms. as we'll as

CHICAGO, Mar. 80 (AP) -
All appeared serene in the Ma
tional Football League today
as its l3 members went to
work on their 1860 schedules.
The league opened a two
day session yesterday by ap-
parently approving an un-
changed television policy and
formally recognizing the shift
Of the Chicago Cardinals to st.
Louis.
Commissioner Pete Rozelle
said whatever regular schedule
was drafted for the coming
season would be announced by
individual clubs as each saw fit.
He said no difficulty was ex-
pected in drafting schedule
to accommodate the new Dallas
member, which will belong to
the NILS Western Division.
BY 1861. the NFL will have
expanded to IA members with
the addition Of the Minneapo-
lis-St. Paul franchise, APP
proved at Miami last January
when Dallas was admitted for
the 1860 season.
League representatives yes
terday indicated that there will
be no effort made for several
years to accept a lucrative TV
package deal first made by the
Columbia Broadcasting Sys-
tenn at the Miami meeting.
The CHS offer is said to be
approximately S3.5 million. but
for the time being, at least,
the past TV pattern will pre-
vail. CHS is carrying all NFL
games, on a regional basis. ex-
.cept those involving the Cleve-

The Browns have contractual
obligations with an independ-
Ient network which may be the
main reason for delay on a
package deal. The new Dallas
member repeatedly will arrange
its own regional TV setur
which may be confined to
Texas.

Rules Dispute

LONDON, Mar. 30 (AP).-
Arthur Boggis, manager of
Dave Charnley. Britain's new
European lightweight cham
pion, said today it was high
time boxing rules were unified
to stop squabbling.
Charnley stopped defending
Champion Mario Vecchiatto of
Italy at Wembly last night
all because Of a misunderstand-
ing between the Italian and
Belgian Referee Joseph De
Backer.
1t was the second European
crown to come to Britain in
four days. On Sunday Dick
Richardson grabbed the heavy
weight title from Hans Kalb-
fell in Dortmund-and the
German crowd booed him be-
cause they thought he should
have been disqualified.
Two arguments in four
days." Boggis said. Different
rules in different countries only
add to confusion, bitterness
and rows.
Its about time boxing rules
we're made universal so that
an Englishman fighting in
Germany and an Italian fight
ing in England were all bound
by the same rules"
Charnley won after knocking
Vecchiatto down twice in the
10th round. The Italian raised
his hand in a signal to the ref
cree, who thought he was CIV
ing in.
But Vecchiatto angrily de-
clared in his dressing room ne
had merely been asking the ref
cree to continue the count to
eight-under continental rules.
Asked If he planned to pro-
test to the European Boxing
Union, he replied: Il am going
to see the referee first"
Referee De Backer insisted
his decision was correct.
"Vecchiatto raised his hand
and in the normal way I took
1t to mean he had given in"
BoggiS said he would like
Charnley to fight Joe Brown of
New Orleans for the world title
in Britain. Charnley said he
would also like a fight with
