Eugene R. Fortner, who is in

firm, reported shortly after the
listing was signed by his com.
pany and officials of the township that a number of large industrial concerns already had
made ~inquiries about sites in

~There is a million dollars worth

Fortner said prospects were
good that all pa cels in the 25.

Wilkins Spurs
Nation Pres.

NEW ~YORK ~ The entire nation should be congratulated ~for

spur. it. on to the essential goal
of securing the full constitutional rights of all of our citizens,~
President John F. Kennedy said
in a telegram of felicitation read

Attorney Generai Kobert tt~. Kennedy, he testified, did not need
prvouding bysor assistance from

| the NAACP. Reminded by Mr., Madison tnat the Justice Depart
ment was keeping the State of
Alabama busy defending such
suits, Mr. Wilkins responded:
~I would have hoped, Mr. Madison, that they would have been
keeping you busier.~

When the state concluded its

| case on Friday, NAACP Attorney

Arthur D. Shores of Birmingham
promptly moved dismissal of the
complaint, asserting that the
state had failed to prove its case
and declared that if injury was
being done to the state, it was
self-inflicted by the state through
its own actions in attempting to
oust a legitimate, law-abiding or' ganization. He pointed out that
W. C, Patton, former head of
the NAACP in Alabama and now
a field secretary for the Association, who had been subpoenaed
by the state as its chief witness,
had categorically denied carrying
on any NAACP activities within
the state since June 1, 1956.
Judge Jones denied the motion.
