The Nationalist obviously

President Chang Kai-shek's

Negroes Approve NAAcP
Though Not Members

Los Angeles CAMP - Is the
NAACP the spokesman for the
Negro?
Although it's membership of 400,-
900 represents only a small frac-
ton Of the total Negro population,
the NAACP is generally regarded
as the foremost spokesman for the
Negro community at large.
A Catholic Digest poll Indicated
that more than 80 per cent Of the
American Negroes approved Of the
NA-ACP's program, goals and pol
icies. Most of the country's lead
ing Negro citizens are associated
with the NAACP in one way or
another - as life members, offic-
ers Of local or state units, and Of
ficers and directors of the national
organization.
The NAACP was rounded in 1909
for the purpose of achieving full
equality for Negro Americans. To-
day, it is the nations largest civil
rights organization and has a
multi-racial and interfaith men,

taken the written examination in
