EDITORIAL
Who's Qualified?

In last week~s edition Herman Hamilton frankly commented upon the fitness and qualifications of one of the
candidates for the N.A.A.C.P. presidency. To Hamilton his
duty must have seemed clear~not to have done so would

have been a failure in a duty owed himseit as well as to
the membership.

The Annual Convention, of the N.A.A.C.P. in 1958 re
affirmed its resolution that the membership of communists,
fellow travelers and communist sympathizers are not accepted by the association. That being the case, any person

running for office within the N.A.A.C.P. should have clean |.

hands in this respect.

Should an individual with.a suspicion shrouyding his
name be elected to office in the N.A.A.C.P. it would not
only violate the above mentioned Policy, but it would also
tie the hands of the N.A.A.C.P. in every fight in which it
might be engaged. The first battle would be the ~red~
issue, diverting attention from the real issue of civil rights.
This in truth is exactly what pseudo-liberals refuse to see
and just what the ~reds~ want us to do.

The communist objective is to ~show up~ the injustices
and problems in American. life ~ not to seek a solution.
Therefore they raise issues, yell loud and wildly, but carefully avoid any real attempts at a solution. The Negro is
used as a tool and his cause suffers. It has wisely been
said ~ it is hard enough to be black without being labeled
~red~ too.

Individuals may differ with the Resolution on Com_munism. No one can dispute it is the Law of N.A.A.C.P.
passed in Annual Convention and binding upon the
Branches. Attempts to avoid it leads only to division and
pitfalls. Upholcing it lends toward paHging bigger and

You have made a wonderful contribution.

The World in Joy, willalways keep-in mind,

As parents of those, Sweet, Heroic Children.
Known to the world, as: ~~~Thé Little Rock 9.~

The Rose in all of its grandeur and sweetness,
The green grass will soon wither, blade by blade;
Your actions stand, as a monument of glory,
Your deeds for Civil Rights, never will fade.

So, when the world shall sing its Songs of Praises,
Or write the names of parents who in line,

Stand great in achievements and high in glory;
*Twould be the parents of ~The Little Rock 9.~ -

Hats off to you and on History~s pages: The writers, that will be so very kind,
Telling of those that dared the bayorets,
Must name the eu a of ~The Little Rock 9.~: ~G. A. ~

Fellow citizens, it is surprising
what difference one year can
bring to those opportunists who
have the patience and fortitude
to wait until things come their
way. It was just eleven months
ago that I accepted the Legal Redress Chairmanship. It was like
any January evening and the
Executive Board met at the St,

and approved my~ appointment.

I noticed with interest a young
mah with a loud mouth by the
name of C. Frederick Robinson |,
who quizzed me for nearly an
hour and fifteen minutes. He

was trying desperately to im~a cat~s paw.~ He didn~t show any |
