"The situation in Prince Ed

one in our kind of country The

Brownsville, county seat of
Haywood county, continues as
one of the nations major civil
rights storm centers, following
Negro voter reistration activ-

But the present HayMond
Fayette cotnty story goes back
to Sunday evening, June 23,.
1910, and even before, when
the body of Ebert Williams,
NAACP leader, was fished
from the river.
I Williams had aroused the ire
of Haywood County whites by
encouraging Negroes to vote
something that had not occur
red since Reconstruction days.
Miss Bonds father, Ollie S.
Bond, a mortician, founded
the Association first unit here
in 1888. But when Negro
leaders expressed an interest
in voting (61 % of the county
is Negro), they ran into untold
hardship.
The Bond family was forced
to flee for their lives on Christ
mas Eve afternoon, 1889. Their
escape was unknown to ele-
ments of the white communi-
ty that burned the Bond home
to the ground that same eve
ming.
Mr.. Bond read of Negroes
successfully registering to vote
in his native Brownsville, in
his New York home early last
June.

Aid To LiIy-White
Textile Mills
Protested

NEW YORK - The textile
industry, which has withheld
bids on yard goods for nation
al defense because it does not
wish to comply with President
Kennedy's Executive Order for
equal employment opportuni-
ties in government contract
work, should not be aided by
the granting of import quotas
on foreign cotton goods, the
NAACP told the Federal gov
ernment today.
The industry has complained
about foreign textiles in the
American market and was told
by President Kennedy last
week that it might apply for
relief under existing statutes,
one of which is the national
security provision of the Trade
Agreements Extension Act.
Anticipating the claim that
the textile industry is essen
tial to the national defense eff
fort and therefore entitled to
the protection of import quo
tas, Roy Wilkins, NAACP Sc
cretary, wired Director Frank
B. Ellis of the Office of Civil
and Defense Mobilization:
''It is now well known that
the textile industry has with
held bids to supply yard goods
to the defense effort of the u
nited States through the mill
tary supply system because it
wishes to preserve its virtually
lily-white employment policy
in the face of the Presidents
Committee on Equal Job Op-
portunity and the Executive
Order of March 6, 1861.
National Association for the
Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie submits that textile indus
try must not be permitted to
use its relationship to the ma
tional defense effort to secure
beneficial import quotas while
it declines to contract with that
same defense effort in its de-
termination to maintain its en-
p1o ym e n t discrimination "a
gainst Negro Americans.
'If the defense effort is good
enough to protect an industry'S
competitive position it is good
enough to warrant the supply
ing of yard goods to the Armed
Services on contracts which
open employment to all Amer
leans without discrimination as
to race and COLOR
The NAACP wire concluded
that if Negro citizens are to
be forced to purchase more A
merican textiles at higher
prices, they cannot in all fair
ness be denied access to en-
ployment in the mills that en-
list the aid of their govern
ment" to maintain markets and
prices.
The textile industry has been
on a "strike" against the gov
ernment since President Ken
nedy issued his order on fair
employment because it does
not wish to change it's policy
of hiring heroes only as jan
itors and caretakers.
