NAACP CALLS BIRCH SOCIETY anti : NEGRO
Society's Attitude
Toward Negroes
Is Made Clear

Executive Secretary Roy Will
kins of the NAACP speaking at
Topeka, Kansas, last week to a
conference of Kansas branches
of the NAACP told the conference
that the No. l objective of the
John Birch Society ''is to hang
the Justices of the Supreme Court
for handing down the Brown De-
ciSiOn. I"
Secretary Wilkins referred to
the Courts decision in a case
originating at Topeka that public
school segregation was unconsti-
tutional. He said that the No. 2
goal is doing away with the
civil rights program.
This statement from Roy Will
kins clarifies the position of the
NAACP on a much disputed sub
ject on the American scene. The
influence of the John Birch So
ciety is such that the Negro COM
munity demanded an official pro-
nouncement of one of America S
largest Negro organizations.
