STATE NAACP OFFICIAL ASKEDT0
RESIGN In ARGUMENT OVER CUBA

Monroe, N. C.-Robert Williams,
president of the Union County
Branch of the NAACP, disclosed
last week that he had been asked
to resign from the organization be-
cause of his connection with the
Fair Play for Cuba Committee.
But, Williams said he would not
resign and the request to do SO,
from Gloster B. Current, director
of branches, was a denial of his
right of free speech.
Current sent Williams letter
which was a copy of a telegram
the NAACP official sent to a Dem
yer, Colo, newspaperman, William
H. Pinkett. Williams was sched-
uled to speak in Denver under aus
pieces of the Fair Play for Cuba

Committee, and Pinkett had asked
the NAACP whether Williams ac-
tivities with the committee were
endorsed by the NAACP.
Current replied that the NAACP
does not support Cuba's position,
nor approve of Williams activity
in behalf of that government. Will
liams is founder of the Cuba COM
mittee, but not an officer.
Williams also said that he has
asked the NAACP to. withdraw
from any connection with his APP
peal from q sit-in conviction. He
was convicted of trespass in Mon
roe last year, and sentenced to q
$40 fine and 80 days in jail, and

what with the amount of pro-
lection and press that always
surrounded them. In or

they stayed at home for the
most part and let everyone
come to them. It became
presidential protocol.
But not JFK. He wants his
freedom, and 1t is obvious
that he intends to act as
though he had it, which may
be all he needs to do to get
1t. If he decides to drop
in on a friends house at 2

call on another early Sunday
before church, he does it and
worries not about the corps

NEW YORK, June II (AP)
The 1861 gold rush is on.
Fuzzy checked high school and
college boys, taking advantage
of an unbelievable spending
era in baseball, are striking it
rich.
Despite the heart-breaking
history Of failures Of high
priced. bonus babies, failures
which cost them tens of mil
lions of dollars, major league
organizations are digging
deeper than ever into their
treasures in frenzied bidding
for young players.
Bonuses ranging from a few
thousand dollars to as much
as $175,000 are being handed
out to inexperienced youths
who have never seen the in
side of a big-league stadium
let alone played in one.
In the last two weeks alone
American and National League
clubs have deposited approx
mately 81 million into the bank
accounts of high school and
college athletes. and the end is
not yet in sight.
The enormity of this cash
outlay is more appreciated
when compared to the pay
ments made in 1947, the first
year baseball operated under
a bonus rule. That year, club
owners paid out $156,000 in
bonuses. When the bonus rule
was restored in 1853 after hav-
ing been scrapped three years
before, the owners paid out
