the NAACP, requires certain
organizations to. submit confidential files to the city cler~.

Two known officials, Mr.
L. C. Bates and the R-v. J. C.
Crenshaw, latér surrendesed to
police. They were released ~on

a~tion in enacting *he ordinance
in question was in response to
a suggestion, by State Attorney
General ~Brice ~ Bennett that

such ordinances to supplement
4 state statute requiring the filing of membership and other
records, and payment of an occupation license for the privilege of doing business in Arkansas.
