NAACP Presses Voter
Registration Campaign

MEMPHIS, Tenn. = Despite re-
ports that would-be Negro voters
are being given the run-around
by local officials, the NAACP is
continuing to press its voter. reg
istration campaign in Southern
States.
The Gulfport, Miss, area is a
new target of this campaign. A
kickoff meeting is planned for
Dec. 20. NAACP Church Secretary
Edward ]. Odom will be the feat
ured speaker. Plans call for blank
citing the area with a large num-
ber of volunteers to work on stimuli
taneous campaigns for voter reg
istration and poll tax payments.
w. C.Patton, NAACP voter reg
istration specialist, has invited the
Justice Department to watch the
development of the campaign
closely. Reports have been re-
ceived by the NAACP that town
officials have tried to evade reg
istering Negroes by insisting that
the poll tax must be paid before
they can register. The poll tax
collector then tells them that they
must register before the poll tax
can be paid. This has happened
most frequently around Pascagou-
la and Moss Point, Mr.. Patton
said.
Another NAACP voter registra-
tion campaign was begun in Pens
acola, Fla, on November 10 under
the direction of Mrs. c. j. DeVault.
One hun dred and fifty young adults

HOUSING ORDER SEEN
AS IMPORTANT LIST STEP

NEW. YORK - President Ken
nedy's long delayed Executive
Order banning discrimination in
federally assisted housing was
welcomed by NAACP Executive
Secretary Roy Wilkins as an in
dication that the overnment has
made plain "that the national poll
CIV of non discrimination between
citizens, which has been recog-
nized in other areas of American
life, applies as well to housing" "
In a telegram of commendation
to the President, Mr.. Wilkins said
that the order was welcomed in
the anticipation that it will remove
longstanding barriers to freedom
of residence.
Not only Negroes and members
of other minority groups, but all
citizens who revere our conStltu-
tional guarantees of equality, must
hail this reaffirmation of our ma
tion's commitment to basic demo-
cratic ideals" the telegram said.
The NAACP leader additionally
noted that the order does not go
as far in coverage as has been
recommended over long period
of years by the NAACP and more
recently by the United States
Commission on Civil Rights and
other responsible organizations. !"
The order does not cover "con-
ventionAlly' financed housing.
Mortgages on new housing arrang-
ed with federal savings and loan
associations and banks with federal
insurance are exempted from COW
erage.
Even though the order does
not cover all aspects of discrimi-
nation in housing, tits an import
ant first STEP" Mr. Wilkins said.
1--WE are calling upon our branches
throughout the country to seek
prompt implementation locally of
all applicable requirements of the
Presidents order. We will utilize
the order fully and seek to have it
broadened."
