sOciation for the Advancement of
Colored People has called upon
the Department of Justice to in
vestigate the arrest of leaders of
the Association in Mississippi and
to take action against state of
ficials guilty of these illegal acts
Aaron Henry, a Clarksdale phar-
macist and state president of the
NAACP, and four other local AS
sociation leaders were arrested on
Dec. z and later that day released
on their own recognizance. They
were charged with conducting q
campaign among Negroes to with
hold patronage from downtown
stores which discriminate against
colored citizens in employment and
services.
Arrested with Mr.. Henry were
John C. Melchor, president of the
Clarksdale NAACP branch; R.
L. Drew, first vice president; Mrs.
Vera Mae Pigee, secretary; and
Rev. Theodore Trammell, chap
lain. All. except Mr.. Henry, were
handcuffed and taken to Jail. War
rants were issued for two other
NAACP members: j. w. Wright
and LaBoyd Keys.
In telegram to Attorney Gen.
eral Robert F. Kennedy, Dec. z,
NAACP Executive Secretary Roy
Wilkins said:
These NAACP leaders have call
ed upon the public to refuse to
patronize downtown businesses in
Clarkdale until those enterprises
adopt a policy of non-discrimination
in employment and in their treat
ment of the public. Obviously, both
the means and purposes are law
full and protected under the Con-
Stitution of the United States. These
arrests are clear, open and notori-
GUS violations of the federal civil
rights of DR.. Henry and the others.

tive of the federal Constitution.

partment of Justice investigate

Father Gibson Fate Up To Court
GIBSON CASE IS
NOW IN SUPREME
COURT HANDS

Washington - The fate of the
Rev. Theodore R. Gibson, Florida
clergyman and president of the
NAACP branch in Miami, is now
in the hands of the nine justices
of the United States Supreme
Court.
The Court heard argument on
Dec. 5 by NAACP General Coun-
sci Robert L. Carter asking that
the Court set aside the six-month
Jail sentence and 81 200 fine i'm
posed upon the clergyman by a
Florida state court.
In his argument, Mr.. Carter
stressed the similarity between
the Florida and Alabama cases
involving disclosure of NAACP
membership lists. In the Alaba-
ma case, the Supreme Court held
in 1858 that the Association could
not be compelled to reveal the
names of its members and contrl-
hutors to state officials.
In the Gibson hearing, the NAA-
CP counsel contended that there
was no valid state interest which
could be served by requiring Faith
er Gibson to testify from the MA
ACP list. He further pointed out
that Florida authorities and courts
conceded that the Episcopalian
rector was not subversive and that
the NAACP was a legitimate or
ganization.
Mr.. Carter urged that in the
absence of facts connecting Father

Of the committal of self-confessed
assailant Howard Stack to a mental
institution shows an obvious at

Lynn, well-known civil-rights
lawyer, based these charges on
oral statements of Warden Reid
of the Union County Jail in Monroe,
North Carolina, that the alleged
"fit of insanity" occurring in the
course of the FBI investigation
was police-staged fake" de-
signed to make it appear that Stack
was insane at the time he attacked
