NAACP. CALLS LITTLE

ROCK THREAT FO US.

NEW YORK~tThe defiance of Federal authority at
Little Rock, Adk., by Gov. Orval Faubus ~threatens the
entire concept of a Federal upion and endangers a wide
category of rights and privileges: of citizens~ of the
United States wherever they may live,~ President Eisen- %;
hower was told bre oF a telegram yesterday.

The wire, sent by Roy Wilkins, NAACP executive secretary, said the use of state troops|.
by Gov. Faubus to prevent Ne.

gro sfudents from attending
Céntral: hich school pursuant to
a Federal court order stemmed
from an idea that ~states and
regions are free to decide whether to abide by the Constitution
and the Federal~ court rulings
or not, as they see fit.~

Asserting that such an idea
must not be allowed to stand
~unchallenged and unclarified,~
the President was urged by the
NAACP leader to take steps
~to preserve the authority of
our national government in the
Little Rock and any other similar sitiiation.~

~Fhe Chief Executive was reminded that on July 2 Senator
Richard B, Russell of Georgia

GOP Proud

~The Republi irty
demonstrated that it is the
~champion of freedom for all
our citizens~ through its-passage
of a Civil Rights Bill in the
85th Congress, Raymond Pitcairn, prominent Pennsylvania
Republican leader, said today.

~The party can well be proud
of its record on Civil Rights,~
Pitcairn said, ~Under the leadership of the President, it put
politics aside to emerge as a
champion of freedom for all
our citizens,

~It was not/all that the President wanted in his original bill,
but it is the first Civil Rights
legislation in eighty years and
a start has been made in the
right direction.~

Pitcairn, who is a member of
the Pennsylvania Republican. Finance Committee and a nationally known industrialist, has sent
letters of commendation to
Congressmen who voted for the
bill, Democrats as well as Re-/ pe
publicans. He also sent a telegram to. President Eisenhower
hailing the measure.

"Men of good will in both
parties,~ Piicairn said, ~voted
for this bill but it was the
determination of the President
and the Republican leaders in
Congress that assured its passage, | despite the _ delaying
tactics of Southern Democrats.

~It is particularly significant
that the Southern Democrats
felt ou a long filibuster against

the bill;would résult in even

stronger Civil Rights legislation,
tad 3 ge of the bill goes a
long way toward fulfilling the

Republican Platform pledge on
Civil Rights made at the 1956
convention.~

Pitcairn singled out for special
commendation Representative
Hugh Scott of the S:xth Congressional District: ~

~Scott has always been a
special champion of Civil

Rights,~ Pitcairn said. ~He

made the Administration's ~
views on the bill kr on
the floor of the House and his
was the deciding vote in the

House Rules Committee which

made it possible to bring the /|

bill to a vote.~

In a telegram to the President,

Pitcairn said:

~We rejoice with millions of ||

fellow citizens over your victary and that of the United!
States Congress upon the pass
age of the first law against ra-}

cnt, Gatmination som He oe
of our Cfvil War.. o

in the Senate expressing his horror at the fhought of. Federal
trobps being sent into thé Souh,
but that today ~state troops
carrying arms and equipment
purchased and furnished them by
the United States are defying
the government of their counry.~

The NAACP wire declared Negro ciibens were proud of the
~brave and dignified deportment of their youngsters in the
face of provocative and degrading mob action~ and, while particularly.interested in the immediate situation, were ~deeply
concerned~ over the effect of
defiznce - of Federal
authority.
