Court Rules
NAACP List
Stoy Sealed

RICHMOND, Jan; 7 tAPD3@-
The National Association for
the Advancement Of Colored
People won APPOINT today in its
dispute with q State legislative
committee over the inspection
Of NAACP membership lists.
The committee long has
wanted to look at the names Of
It's members and financial con-
tributors. The NAACP has OPP
posed this.
William II. King, counsel for
the Committee on Ofienses
Against the administration of
Justice, asked q special three
Judge court yesterday to dis
solve court order requiring
NAACP attorney Oliver w. Hill
to take custody of and seal any
NAACP records the committee
might require, pending outcome
Of 4 case in the State courts.
The court today denied Mr..
Kings request. 1t said it was
of the opinion that q constitu-
tional. issue regarding the pow
ers Of the Justice Committee
to Hook at NAACP records has
not been resolved by the State
courts.
Another sthree-j Judge court
took under advisement the
question Of whether q State
Corporation Commission ruling
requiring inspection of NAACP
records also covered member
ship rolls.
NAACP attorneys raised the
question In a case in which the
organization seeks injunctive
relief from an alleged threat by
Richmond Commonwealth,s At
torney T. Gray Haddon to
prosecute 1t for a refusal to
disclose names Of its members.
Mr.. Hill said the sec asked
Mr.. Haddon to prosecute the
NAACP for refusal to disclose
the names Of its members and
contributors.
Henry T. Wickham, special
counsel to the State Attorney
General, told the court he did
net interpret the secs opinion
to mean that that agency has
the power to inspect NAACP
membership lists.

RICHMOND, Jan. z (AP).-
Back in 1894 Gov. George C.
Peery's signature set in motion
the legal machinery which
formed the State Alcoholic Bev-
erase Control Board.
The three-man board was to
have wide latitude in setting
UP. controlling and enforcing
a State liquor monopoly.
Temperance. social better
ment and respect for law" were
to be the systems key objec-
tives, q study commission rec
commended to the 1884 General
Assembly.
Taxes should be levied as a
method Of promoting social
control and not primarily for
raising State or local revenues" !"
the commission said.
| Prop to Localities
The boards burgeoning prof.
its in that post-prohibition era
soon became a substantial prop
In the budgets Of the localities.
The State reaped millions OF
dollars for its general fund
from ABC sales.
Two revenue hungry sessions
Of the General Assembly 20
years apart have imposed 10
per cent taxes on liquor.
Since the tax imposed by the
1860 General Assembly became
effective July /, ABC sales have
slipped, and with them liquor
revenues. -
Because the tax revenue was
to play a large part in bring.
ing the 1960-62 State budget
closer into balance, the dwin-
ding revenues hive caused some
fiscal filters.
The 1850 tax came after Gov
Almonds retail sales tax pro-
posals were slapped down in
1.-THE Assembly. His budget fol
the biennium had been predi.
cated on such tax.
To bridge the budgetary gap
a House of Delegates coalition
came up with a two-year liquor
tax. a new tobacco tax and
an increase in the per-bottle
tax on beer.
Some Discomfort
The liquor tax was estimated
variously to bring in an added
1910 to $l2 million a year..
J Even before the tax became
law there were rumblings OF
discomfort. Some financial
leaders said the yield estimates
were too high. Others said the
ABC system again was being
lcalled upon to produce revenue
something Its creators ha6
said was secondary to its con.
troll purpose.
i The 1910 Assembly levied q
10 per cent tax on ABC sales
at the recommendation Of Gov
James H. Price when additionaI
money was needed for school,
teachers pay.

CAPTIVE AUDIENCE

Several times we have COM
mented on the mediocre and often
violent, sadistic motion pictures
shown at the local theatres. Such
films often portray a grotesque
standard Of morality for young
people and too often picture the
United States in bland, exaggerat
ed proportions, especially to peo-
pie who have never been there.
And still another irritating "fea
ture" at the theatres is. one we

theatre management, as enter
preneurs, must make money by
showing the public movies, and
it does this by charging admission.
prices and by collecting conces-
sion stand revenues.
Apparently, they make still
more money by subjecting a cap
tive audience to an irritating
series Of commercials-much the
same as seen on television-before
the main attraction is presented.

Editorial
PUERTO RICO IN THE STATE DEPARTMENT
PRESIDENT KENNEDY since coming to Office has
shown a grasp and understanding Of the job which is. evoking
favorable comments from friends and political foe alike. He
has succeeded in drawing around him a set of men with
imagination and initiative enough to bring about the changes
SO necessary to again wrest the leadership of the world.
ONE OF THE moves which the President has made, and
of which more will be heard is the appointment of DR.. Arturo
Morales-C Carbon of Puerto Rico as deputy assistant Secretary
of State Of Inter-American Affairs. AS the very title connotes,
DR.. Carton will be responsible for those matters which are.
certain to affect this nation most closely, so far as Latin
America is concerned.
SOFARsAS is known this is the first time that a non
native Of the mainland has been elevated to such a position.
In other words, it is the first time that a native of the Latin
Americas has been given the responsibility Of actually dealing
with, and helping to shape policy affecting Latin America.
Nothing could be more appropriate, and yet it has been this
long in coming,
EARLIER IN THEmonth President Kennedy, in a con
ference with Governor Munoz Marin, had indicated that
Puerto Rico would play significant role in VI Ameri-
can relations. It is no wonder, then, that such an important
appointment followed. "A change in attitude and outlook may
now be seen as Latin America is given to understand that a
real interest in being taken in its affairs, and that the officer
directly concerned is no stranger.
BUT THERE is more. The United States and Puerto
Rico have a most unique relationship in the democratic
scheme Of things. Here is this Puerto Rican nation, cut loose
from the. United States, electing its own legislature, its own
Governor, and conducting its own affairs, yet maintaining
close ties in every phase Of endeavor, More than that, IN order
to permit free flow Of people and materials, Puerto Ricans
maintain their American citizenship.
PUERTO RICO, with its Operation Bootsrap, could
easily be a model for many Latin American countries, realiz-
ing especially that there's much latitude within the demo-
cratic framework in which to develop in their own way, yet
maintaining their freedom: Puerto Rico might well be proud
Of this appointment, and accept. the challenge, doing full JUS
tice to the opportunity.

Keith Bryan and Karen Keys,
a husband and wife team
Washington can be proud Of,
brought to the Phillips Gallery
last night a program marked
by a varying level of musical
excellence, and a high standard
of performance excellence.
Mr.. Bryan has been a flutist
with the National Symphony
for a number of years, and his
wife has appeared frequently in
solo piano recitals, but, to the
best of my knowledge, last
nights Phillips appearance was
their first joint public concert
hereabouts. 1t is a collaboration
which deserves repetition.
The tricky Haydn Sonata in
G was a challenging enough
opener and it took moment to
get off the ground, but it
developed into an intelligently
conceived, elegantly phraSed
beauty. Tonal balance required
some adjustment, but I cannot
imagine more perfectly matched
tempt and phrasing.
Up until the last number.
both artists played with the
same keen musical intelligence,
but it was the great Prokofieff
Sonata that caught fire and
added a touch of excitement to
the evening. Although the
Sonata is more often heard as
the composers second violin
sonata. it was written for the
flute and it Sparkles the
brightest on that instrument.
Mr.. Bryan's high register
took on a brilliance that had
been missed here and there
earlier in the evening. Miss
Keys piano playing-and in
this music she was a fully equal
partner - had virtuoso. force
and articulation. The crack
ling scherzo raced at a brilliant
clip and the demanding finale
had, in addition to its innate
brio, a granduer hadn't known
1t to possess.
Between Haydn and Proko-
fieff came five of Ibert's pleas

fairly undistinguished music by
