Supreme Court Asked To
Review Fl. Gibson Case

Of freedom Of association Of the
rank and file members of the
NAACP.r
NAACP attorneys argue that
the main issue Of Father Gibson s
case is whether he ''can be COM
PEELED TO produce his. organiza-
tons membership list TO testify
concerning any persons associa-
tional status"
Father Gibson did offer TO as
sisf the Committee by freely
answering questions on the Ma
ACP membership OF any persons
specifically cited by the Com
miftee as being svbversive. How
ever, This did not satisfy the
Committee.
On the other hand. the Ma
AcP lawyers assert, when Father
Gibson is required TO produce the
NAAcP membership list. TO
verify his answers on alleged
svbversives the inference is
that there is some connection
between membership in the Ma
AcP and svbversive setivities."
They also argue that before
Florida can harass Father Gibson
and secure the NAACP member
ship list. "somc reasonable basis
must be established that either
he or his organization is suspect.
This has not been done.
Father Gibson repeatedly made
the point during his numerous
hearings. that the anti-NAACP
and civil rights climate in Florida
would expose NAACP members 10
endless threats, intimidation and
actual physical violence in parts
of the state.

many more persons will be serv-
ing as polling place challengers
next Monday than have observed
in previous spring elections.
Republicans. Democrats, or mi
nor party candidates who wish to
serve as challengers in the pri-
maries must apply to their County
or District chairman for their
credentials. This card, signed by
the chairman, carries the name
and the precinct in which the
challenger will serve on April
3.

James IA. Hare, ehsIIengers can
be assigned only in the city or
township area in which they re-
side A Holland resident, for
example, cannot serve as a ehsl-
ienser in Grand Rapids.
Hare pointed out that challcn-

dentials to the chairman of the
election board when they first
arrive at the polling place.
2. Refrain from interfering with
the inspectors of election in the
performance of their duties.
3. Refrain from drinking al
coholic beverages on election

4. Conduct themselves in an
orderly manner at all times.
S. Challenge only those persons
whom they have good reason to
believe are not qualified to vote
in that particular precinct.
6. Refrain from campaigning
within the polling place.
Duly qualified ehsIIengers have
certain responsibilities and rules
under which they operate. Hare
said ehaIlengers are required TO:
1. Remain inside the railing
where they can watch the poll
lists and other voting procedure.
2. Remain in the polling place
during the election and until the
work of the board is finished.
3. Look over the poll books
and registrations. They may use
their eyes only, not their hands.
4. Challenge the right of any
person TO vote if the challenger
has good reason TO believe such
person is not qualified to vote
in that precinct, Persons should
be challenged before they receive
ballots.
S. Challenge any election pro-
