NAACP Opposes
Funds To Schools
That Segregate

NEW YORK-Emphatic op-I
position to the ALLEGATION of
any federal funds to states
which still maintain segregat-
ed school systems was an
nounced again this week by
NAACP.
A memorandum reminding
all local units of the NAACP
in As states of a national con-
vention resolution opposing
the ALLEGATION of federal mon
les for education to those states
which have continued to defy
the Supreme Court ruling of
1854 was sent to local officers
last Friday by Roy Wilkins,
national executive secretary.
Branches of the N A A G P
were asked to write their SEN
ators and Congressman calling
upon them to support an a
mendment denying funds to
such states.
The NAACP position was
made more explicit in state
ment submitted to The New
York Herald Tribune in an
swer to its question: do you
feel that Federal money should
be withheld from school dis
tricts which have not desegre-
gated their schools, or do you
believe that the problems of
segregation or desegregation
should be solved separately
from those of education?"
The MA ACP warned its
members to beware of Con-
gressmen who vote for a non
segregation amendment and
when it wins and is placed in
the bill, vote against the bill
itself.
A considerable number o1
Congressman pulled this stunt
in the House last session ano
then solicited the support o.
their Negro constituents by de-
claring they had voted for the
Powell amendment. They nev
er bothered to explain tha
they voted against the bill tina
contained the Powell amend
ment.

one cannot own land in Liber-
ia without becoming citizen.
Liberian Consul General
David M. Thomas, who was
present at the press conference,
praised DR.. Jackson for his
foresight and humanitarian
instinct" DIR. Jackson pointed
out that he had initiated COR
respondence with Liberian
President w. v. S. Tubman re-
lative to the project in May of
1859.
Members of the three-man
Liberian Commission who flew
to the African republic include
Rev. Thedford Johnson, Miami,
chairman; the Rev. Robert
Taylor, Richmond, Virginia
and the Rev. Julian Taylor, of
Hartford, Connecticut.
DIR. jackson said that he
hoped no one would conclude
that his Liberian plan was de-
signed to help Negro Ameri-
cans eVade racial ineuuitieS in
the USA.
1--WE don't believe anybody
should leave America looking
for freedom and Justice" the
Baptist leader said. 1--WE SIM
ply believe that the Negro has
reached the point in maturity
where he can contemplate es-
tablishing economic roots in
more than one country"
DR.. jackson said the Conven-
ton will proceed with plans to
move the first "tent city" peo-
pie on the Baptist-owned land
despite the threat of litigation.
He explained that white man
in Fayette County has refused
to leave the property on the
grounds that he has a verbal
one-year lease with the former
owner, DR.. M. T. Fuller. DR..
Fuller, a University of Tennes-
see dentist who sold the land
to the Negro Baptists, will test
ify at a court hearing in SOM

the tenant he was selling the
land and could no longer hon

NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE HALLS
KENNEDY'S EXECUTIVE ORDER

that the patterns of discrimina-
ton as well as specific COM
plants are to be investigated
in all government work-both
under contract and in federal
agencies. This we deem a gi-
ant step forward along "THE
NEW FRONTIER"
We also attach particular
significance to the fact that
the job of ferreting out dis
elimination in government has
been given a prominence, pow
er and a charge by you, the
President of the United States,
commensurate with the huge
ness of the task in dealing with
three million federal workers.
As l am sure you are aware,
the National Urban League
stands ready to cooperate and
strengthen in whatever way we
can, the work of government
as it does with industry, Ia

In a press conference at the
Waldorf Towers, DR.. Jackson
announced that a three man
commission named by the Con-
vention had enplaned for Lii
IBERIA to purchase 5000 acres of
land for settlement and devel-
opment by American Negroes.
The religious leader also de-
tailed a plan to aid dispos-
sessed Negroes of Haywood
and Fayette Counties, Tennes-
see and revealed that the Con-
vention has purchased 400 a
cres of land in Fayette County
at cost of 100000 and taken
Up notes on an additional 200
acres in Haywood County.
On March % the Convention
plans to move several Negro
families which have been liv-
;ng in tents in Fayette Coun-
~ into four homes on the 400
lcre property. DR.. Jackson
aid two more houses will be
constructed to accommodate a
otal of seven families.
The Negro Baptist leader de-
MED that his plan to get train
ed agricultural and profession
al Negroes to go to Liberia is
4 revival of the famed Marcus
Garvey "back to Africa move
nent." The Liberian project,
lie emphasized, is not mass
movement but rather a drive to
help the African Republic de-
velop it's great natural re-
ources and to integrate the A
nerican Negro into the great
international stream of eco
nomic creativity."
Reporters at the press con-
terence challenged DR.. Jackson
as to whether the Conventions
plan to aid American Negroes
in going to Liberia to become
citizens of that country could
oe construed as "anti-Ameri-
can." The minister said that
this could be no more true than
the belief that it was anti-Brit-
ish for an Englishman to come
to the United States and be-
come an American citizen. He
added that it was the Conven-
